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 21 / 52 <br />Gerry & Start House 12 / 63 <br />Hagen Place 24 / 25 <br />San Miguel 5/12 <br />Stable Ground 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
