3. Housing Stability and Homelessness Risk Reduction: <br />The goal of the Emergency Financial Assistance, Short Term Rental Assistance, and the Housing <br />Coordination programs is homelessness prevention and risk reduction. Housing Coordination also <br />serves as a primary linkage service to care providers throughout the region. <br />Since 1993, the City has utilized HOPWA funds to develop 93 new housing units for persons with <br />HIV /AIDS. Although the required 10 year covenant with Hagan Place has passed, the development <br />still only houses HIV+ clients, and their numbers are included. During the program year, 159 <br />unduplicated households/ individuals utilized these units. <br />TABLE 14 — HOPWA FUNDED HOUSING <br />PROJECT TRANSITIONAL HOUSING <br />PERMANENT HOUSING BEDS/CLIENTS <br />NAME BEDS/CLIENTS <br />Casa Alegre 23/22 <br />Emmanuel House <br />21/52 <br />Gerry & Start House <br />12 /63 <br />Hagen Place <br />24/25 <br />San Miguel <br />5/12 <br />Stable Ground <br />8/10 <br />5. Projects in Developmental Stage: <br />The HIV /AIDS community through a regional strategic planning process has prioritized the <br />development of permanent housing for individuals with HIV /AIDS. The populations that have been <br />identified are the undocumented, ex- offenders, women with children, and people with multiple <br />diagnoses (including the seriously mentally ill) as subpopulations who are often unable to secure <br />housing stability within the existing HIV /AIDS housing continuum. <br />To attract a development partner, approximately $500,000 is required. HOPWA funds not allocated <br />for housing support services and direct housing payments are set aside in a development pool, <br />which is expected to reach the $500,000 level again in a few years. <br />08/23/2012 49 <br />19C -57 <br />
