HUD’s HPRP Participant Requirements Initial consultation with case manager to determine appropriate type of assistance Household must be at or below 50% Area Median Income (AMI) (30% for some agencies) Must either be homeless or at risk of losing housing and meet both: 1) no appropriate subsequent housing options have been identified and 2) the household lacks the financial resources and support networks needed to obtain immediate housing or remain in its existing housing
10
Implied Requirement Ability to stabilize in housing within 18 months

11 Where we are We began in October 2009 Partners include non-profits local governments Local Management Entities (LMEs) Council of Governments (COGs) Community Action Agencies
12
12 Lessons Learned McDowell County DSS East Carolina Behavioral Health Services
13
13 McDowell DSS HPRP is different from Emergency Assistance (EA) or TANF Flexibility Dynamic Case Management Process - not a quick fix Partner process - not limited
14
14 Prior to implementing a similar program Ensure collaboration inter/intra agency Know community resources Know allies (be able to dissuade dissenters - for example - worried about increase in homeless population) Organization of process (intake, policies/procedures, priority population) Have a client exit strategy
15
15 Areas of concern in our county Priority clients were under-served (aged out of foster care) Clients with limited income (disability) Long term transition difficulties (economy, training/jobs, life skills deficits)
16
16 Success Stories/Case Examples Success/Failures What worked/What did not
17
17 East Carolina Behavioral Health Experienced in homeless services Experienced in mental health services
18
18 Emergency Homeless Programs Shelter Transitional Housing
19
19 Homeless Assistance Permanent Supportive Housing LIHTC, Key program, etc. Public housing, Section 8, etc Shelter Plus Care Permanent Supportive Housing Both provide permanent housing subsidy Both are linked with permanent services None of these come with a bridge to make them happen
20
20 Emergency Assistance Usually one time housing assistance Usually not providing any services
21
21 HPRP HPRP provides the middle ground, needed by more households than either of the other two Short term or interim housing support Transitional, stabilization housing services Other services are referred to other programs
22
22 Urban vs. Rural HUD’s traditional homeless programs are better suited for urban areas HPRP’s emphasis on prevention meets a previously unmet need in rural areas. What are we learning about those rural needs?
