Homeless Advocacy for All to increase lived experience in all CoC activities. I was a homeless Veteran 4 times between 2002 and 2009. 00:19:46 Frederick Berry: Frederic Berry Stanislaus County Office of Education Modesto Ca. 00:19:52 Beth Driggers: Montgomery County, MD 00:20:01 Kevin Anderson: If you want to share this page, we also have www.endhomelessness.org/NOFO. This is also where the webinar will be hosted. 00:20:17 Steffi Travis: Love the GRAPHIC! 00:20:23 Susanna Allen: BM CAP, Belknap-Merrimack Counties, NH 00:20:24 William Higgins: https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamhigginsjr/ 00:20:24 Naomi Garcia-Hector: Where on the website will we find the recording in a few days? 00:20:47 Donna Mae Baukat: As a participant with an MOU with Balance of State CoC, can my organization compete with CoC’s for funding Peer Recovery Services? 00:20:51 National Alliance to End Homelessness: The link to our NOFO landing page is on the 00:21:17 Kristi Schulenberg: https://endhomelessness.org/2021-nofo-what-is-hud-looking-for/ 00:21:27 National Alliance to End Homelessness: Sorry - it was on the slide we just showed 00:21:43 William Higgins: WHigginsHa4aLL@gmail.com. Ha4aLL Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/158304874893138/ 00:21:49 Kristi Schulenberg: https://endhomelessness.org/unsheltered-homelessness-and-the-nofo/ 00:21:55 Mia Bryant (she/her): I mentioned the link so I didn't say it again on the previous slide. I repeat it at the end of the webinar as well 00:21:55 National Alliance to End Homelessness: The Link to the Alliances NOFO landing page is coming up on the last slide as well... 00:22:17 Kristi Schulenberg: https://endhomelessness.org/the-nofo-is-correct-now-is-the-time-to-make-the-connection-between-housing-and-behavioral-health/ 00:25:05 Kristi Schulenberg: Donna, you should contact the CoC Balance of State and ask for information on the local competition process. There should be a kick off meeting where they will cover who is eligible to apply, etc. 00:25:24 Donna Mae Baukat: Thank you for that suggestion Kristi. 00:25:48 Lloyd Schmeidler: Our partners have been saying that the eviction moratoria and the ERAP implementation is resulting in fewer people leaving rental units, which has an unfortunate consequence of making it more difficult for homeless households to find vacant units to move back into. Are other CoCs seeing that? 00:26:02 Mia Bryant (she/her): The NOFO is an opportunity to bringing people in the community together to end homelessness! 00:26:06 michelle cunningham: Can I get the slides sent to my email so I can print them to read since it is hard for me to follow on screen? mcunningham@sevencounties.org 00:26:14 Joe Gaston: hello from joe Gaston at Cleveland Ohio.NEOCH 00:26:22 Kristi Schulenberg: @lloyd - yes, we have heard this same experience from other CoCs. 00:26:27 Mia Bryant (she/her): Yes! 00:26:34 William Higgins: In Maine we have no waiting list for BRAP or Shelter Plus Care vouchers. 00:26:40 Kara Casey: Lloyd, we are seeing that too in Vermont 00:27:08 Kristi Schulenberg: Michelle, we will send an email out to all registrants letting you know when the slides/recording has been posted and will include a link. 00:27:10 National Alliance to End Homelessness: The slides will be uploaded to the Alliances NOFO home page at www.endhomelessness.org/NOFO 00:27:17 Jaye Summerlot: What if the CoC IS the government entity? 00:28:01 ozzaroe laibson-brown: osiris nyfh tcu 00:28:07 Dana Carey: With all of these funding streams how our CoCs successfully managing all of it? 00:28:16 ozzaroe laibson-brown: they them eros as name 00:28:38 Leah McCall: I'm not sure how not being evicted is keeping units unavailable, the families evicted then need housing too? 00:28:45 Kristi Schulenberg: The CoC is made of up of organizations, entities, advocates, etc,., working to end homelessness in a community. The local government entity may and often is the CoC Collaborative Applicant. 00:29:50 Kristi Schulenberg: Dana, the best communities are managing it by ensuring that all the funding recipients of all these federal funds are around the same table and committed/aligned to the same goals. 00:30:56 Lloyd Schmeidler: @Leah, True enough, but most households being evicted don't become homeless. 00:31:30 Kristi Schulenberg: Reviewing the prior year's CoC Application is something that communities should constantly revisit as part of system performance evaluation. 00:31:38 Mia Bryant (she/her): Very true, Lloyd! Eviction doesn't always lead to homelessness. 00:31:39 ozzaroe laibson-brown: will their be video recording available afterwards 00:31:49 Mia Bryant (she/her): Yes, Ozzaroe 00:32:13 Leah McCall: I still this is an affordable housing stock issue not evicted/homeless issue, in our community anyway :) 00:32:50 Mia Bryant (she/her): Great point, Kay. Your previous CoC Application can point you towards understanding how you can improve not only your score, but more importantly, how you can improve your efforts to end homelessness! 00:33:18 ozzaroe laibson-brown: sweet 00:33:20 Kristi Schulenberg: See here - https://endhomelessness.org/resource/2021-nofo-resource-series/ 00:33:21 lisa Hardinger: We have had landlords selling off their properties, decreasing affordable housing stock. 00:34:25 Kristi Schulenberg: Be strategic about whether the projects you fund are aligned with HUD and community priorities. Use your performance data to better understand your community needs. 00:34:29 Mia Bryant (she/her): Being strategic mean aligning your efforts with your goals. Just because your community is eligible doesn't mean it's what's best for your community to pursue 00:34:49 Donna Mae Baukat: In our southwest Colorado rural community, local government is satisfied with existing supportive housing while there are hundreds on wait lists. 00:34:58 Saundra Daniel: Same here in North Carolina, due to the moratorium to not evict households 00:35:20 Kristi Schulenberg: For example, if Individual Adults are the largest unsheltered/sheltered population, do your funded projects reflect that? 00:35:36 Mia Bryant (she/her): Tackling these issues of lack of affordable housing require creative solutions like shared housing 00:36:16 Donna Mae Baukat: How successful is shared housing with personalities of different individuals? 00:36:35 Kristi Schulenberg: Most people don't need PSH and there will never be enough in your community to create flow in your system (the ability to quickly house people). Ask yourself whether you have enough RRH. 00:37:01 Jacalyn Lee: I work with survivors of domestic violence. Shared housing does NOT succeed with these clients 00:37:08 Mia Bryant (she/her): Also, you can use your data to "right-size" your system. Do you truly need more PSH or could you benefit from more RRH with increased community connections to enhance sustainability efforts? 00:37:09 Donna Mae Baukat: Good question. And, our CoC is short-staffed. 00:37:19 ozzaroe laibson-brown: when thinking about work that is on coc involvement. how can we allow for communities to have real-time involvement on what their needs are aligned with 00:37:32 Kristi Schulenberg: Shared Housing is as successful for people experiencing homeless as it is for the majority of people who share housing in order to afford the rent. 00:37:37 Mia Bryant (she/her): Shared housing can work for any population. 00:38:06 Donna Mae Baukat: Balance of State CoC in which I am participating, our plans to build small houses larger than tiny homes should be supported by them. But, we are not getting interest to partner with them. 00:38:14 Debbie Cato: We are struggling with RRH because of lack of availability of housing. Our outcomes suck and we did not spend our money in RRH. 00:38:20 Mia Bryant (she/her): Five Truths About Shared Housing: https://endhomelessness.org/five-truths-about-shared-housing/ 00:38:31 Kristi Schulenberg: @Jacalyn, that is incorrect, We know many DV providers who do RRH and use shared housing to make housing affordable for those households. 00:38:51 Angela Hogan: @Debbie Cato - I love your honesty! 00:38:56 ozzaroe laibson-brown: and how are data tools being used to gather community information on the things needed for state and ecosystem needs 00:39:25 Jacalyn Lee: We have tried shared housing. Our clients have not been able to continue these arrangements. 00:39:26 Kristi Schulenberg: @Debbie - have your RRH adopted the national program standards for best practice? https://endhomelessness.org/resource/rapid-re-housing-performance-benchmarks-and-program-standards/ 00:39:48 Pamela Shine: What constitutes reasonable cost per permanent housing exits? 00:39:58 ozzaroe laibson-brown: and are thier panels that within rental association to gather what needs feel neglected within community developmemt 00:40:10 ozzaroe laibson-brown: *development* 00:40:29 Debbie Cato: Yes. They have. Spokane has .5% (1/2%) vacancy rate. We don't have anyplace to house anyone. 00:40:40 Mia Bryant (she/her): @Debbie, what's your RRH data telling you? Where can improvements be made to make your RRH more effective? Lack of affordable housing? Shared housing can help. Long lengths of stay? Perhaps CTI can be instituted, perhaps your system can focus on community connections to enhance sustainability, how are you doing housing plans, how are staff trained, etc 00:41:12 Debbie Cato: Thanks 00:41:16 michelle cunningham: What platforms is everyone utilizing to gather their data in their areas out of curiosity? 00:41:28 Steffi Travis: Link to her BLOG? 00:41:35 Mia Bryant (she/her): The answers often lie right in your data - qualitative and quantitative. We often forget about talking to previous program participants. 00:41:41 Kristi Schulenberg: @Pamela - it depends on the community. It's why you should measure this as a performance metric and look at what organization's exit to PH performance is and what it costs them. Use it to set benchmarks and set performance goals. 00:42:42 National Alliance to End McDonald: Here's a link to blogs - Kay's is the second one: https://endhomelessness.org/resource/2021-nofo-resource-series/ 00:42:44 ozzaroe laibson-brown: within hinking of functional zeros .can we develop programs focus on homelessness and eviction deferment aswell 00:43:00 ozzaroe laibson-brown: *thinking* 00:43:12 Mia Bryant (she/her): FYI that shared housing IS permanent housing but doesn't have to be forever. Some may do shared housing out of homelessness for 1 year and then get their own place once they're more stable. 00:43:34 Cheri Neal: Can I get a copy of the presentation please? Cneal@guilfordcountync.gov 00:44:00 Eneshal Miller: motivational interviewing, explaining benefits, identify needs, facilitate choice, explore options 00:44:01 Debbie Cato: Does HUD approve shared housing with family members? 00:44:12 Mia Bryant (she/her): Yes, we post the recording and slides on our website within days of each webinar 00:44:15 ozzaroe laibson-brown: and diversifying options for trauma survivors. when exiting homelessness 00:44:17 Debbie Cato: with CoC money? 00:44:24 Kristi Schulenberg: We need to normalize shared housing! It's what most people need to do to afford housing in their communities (e.g., family, friends, strangers met online, partners, spouses, etc.). It's how we're doing it. 00:45:11 Debbie Cato: #Kristi - with CoC $$? I just researched it and it looked like it was no. I would love it to be yes! 00:46:06 Kristi Schulenberg: Off the top of my head, I'm not sure but if there is a lease in that person's name, not sure why not. I'll look into it. 00:46:43 Cheri Neal: What happens if you need more capacity to do the work? 00:46:49 Jacalyn Lee: Our CoC approves shared housing with separate leases for each. The biggest challenge is meeting FMR calculations for the share of the costs. 00:47:06 Mia Bryant (she/her): Yes, you can do shared housing with CoC funding! 00:47:18 Eneshal Miller: promote screening, establish clear referrals , collaboration and pre locate staff 00:47:46 ozzaroe laibson-brown: cohabitation and diversified options for types of housing . and for travelers creating housing that can be sustainable and transitioned like hotel stays. or movable tinyhousing 00:48:13 Debbie Cato: Thank you! Separate leases is the key. 00:48:20 Star Barden: how can we get a copy of the information in the chat? 00:48:21 Mia Bryant (she/her): Yes, Debbie! 00:48:39 Debbie Cato: but paying rent to a family member who owns their house would not be acceptable? 00:48:51 Kristi Schulenberg: @Cheri - it's a real issue. Standing up these rehousing efforts and getting this money out, takes people power and we know communities are struggling to hire and retain and train people. 00:48:57 Mia Bryant (she/her): Yes, Debbie, create a rental agreement (Lease) 00:49:01 Susan Finlaw-Dusseault: YES!!!! 00:49:20 ozzaroe laibson-brown: having housing and resources presented like tailored options for experience that al a cart . based off individual needs that are identified 00:49:21 Debbie Cato: Thank you! 00:49:29 Mary Riegert: everytime! Everywhere!! 00:49:30 Kristi Schulenberg: Hi Star, we can include the chat file as well with the slides/recording 00:49:55 Star Barden: ok, thank you 00:50:07 Mia Bryant (she/her): Rank and Review Process: Being strategic to end homelessness in your community. 00:50:24 Kristi Schulenberg: Update those project scoring tools! Make sure they align with current CoC priorities (which should also be those in the NOFO)! 00:50:58 Kristi Schulenberg: NO BOX CHECKING, people!! 00:51:14 Mia Bryant (she/her): Rank and Review Process: Understand how your programs align with HUD priorities 00:52:05 Eneshal Miller: cross training staff persons.. 00:52:06 Aretha Hubbard: I have partnered with the local community college so the residents can earn a trade/skill which will allow them to gain employment and permanent housing. my transitional program is for homeless young men 18-24, with 24 hour supervision. Guidance and support is essential as these young men find their way 00:52:21 Mia Bryant (she/her): Diversify your partners! Faith based partners, colleges and universities, cultural organizations, etc 00:52:51 Amy Hagopian: I notice your list of “solid partnerships” doesn’t include universities. Speaking as a person based in a large state university (I’m in the school of public health), I’d encourage your members to call on university partners to engage! We have committed faculty and eager students who can work on data collection and analysis, evaluations of programs, research on root causes specific to our own cities, research on best practices among case workers (and how to better support case workers), analysis of landlords and eviction policies, and so much more! 00:53:08 Mia Bryant (she/her): @Aretha that's awesome. Colleges and universities can also help with housing for students experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk 00:53:23 ozzaroe laibson-brown: creating support and access tools that choose to be worked on for every cultural access aswell 00:53:52 Donna Mae Baukat: And, without peer recovery services for Indigenous people, that population cannot see equity in housing. It is one of the reason we want to build to reduce the barriers when that population is struggling with addictions and mental health problems. 00:54:10 Kristi Schulenberg: Centering Race Equity in System Design - https://endhomelessness.org/centering-racial-equity-in-homeless-system-design/ 00:54:11 Mia Bryant (she/her): Look into establishing a SPOC ( Single Point of Contact) in your community to establish connections for homeless students at colleges and universities 00:54:13 William Higgins: Maine CoC is funding 6 with lived experience to attend the NAEH virtual conference 00:54:35 Lloyd Schmeidler: If 75% of the people entering homelessness are BIPOC, the issue of racial equity and disparities are "upstream" from the homeless housing system! If 75% of the homeless people are BIPOC, and 75% of the people exiting are also BIPOC, is that a racial equity issue? 00:54:56 Kristi Schulenberg: Race Equity Tools - https://endhomelessness.org/resource/racial-equity-resources/ 00:55:09 Mia Bryant (she/her): Awesome, William! This can increase their capacity to engage in the work of ending homelessness in your community. So many learning and networking opportunities at Alliance conferences 00:55:46 ozzaroe laibson-brown: when thinking about this work making sure that business development within communities happens allowing for new jobs to be created over time with partnership and grants that allow diverse access to community development within economic equity 00:55:59 Mia Bryant (she/her): @Lloyd thought other systems contribute to racial disparities, we want to be sure we aren't perpetuating these disparities in our homeless systems 00:56:04 Mia Bryant (she/her): though* 00:56:54 National Alliance to End McDonald: Lloyd - I think one thing is do we reproduce disparity? Is their equitable access to shelter, to re-housing resources? Are people of color 'steered' to certain programs and away from others? If people of color face greater discrimination in housing and employment, do our program policies recognize that and add more navigating support if and where needed? If we suspect a landlord is treating Black applicants differently than white applicants, do we follow through with partnering with fair housing partners and report? 00:56:55 Mia Bryant (she/her): You inflow should be racially proportionate to your outflow and positive outcomes 00:57:07 Kristi Schulenberg: Collective Impact as a model. A single organization, a single system cannot solve homelessness in the community, there needs to be a coordinated effort to address this complex social problem. 00:57:19 ozzaroe laibson-brown: to build capital dollars. community wealth in tandem with fair taxes that allows communities to build and invest in infrastructure 00:58:18 Mia Bryant (she/her): THIS IS NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL - Now is the time to rethink and retool our system to address our system needs and move the needle forward of achieving functional zero 00:59:08 ozzaroe laibson-brown: such as tax exemption for struggling households and economic pillars supports with vocational training on how to grow funds 00:59:15 Mia Bryant (she/her): In what ways are you changing your rank and review process in your community? How are you approaching this NOFO season differently? 01:00:01 Angela Hogan: People say that the lack of affordable housing is the problem, but with the waiver of FMR the excuse is removed. 01:00:41 Jacalyn Lee: the waiver expired 01:00:42 ozzaroe laibson-brown: teaching financial literacy and educational pathways for every group that identifies need 01:01:00 Jeri Tindal: We modified our SPMs to run by race. We are also asking our providers how they are addressing equity in their programs. 01:01:31 ozzaroe laibson-brown: beautiful . 01:01:34 Eneshal Miller: awareness, balance, connection 01:01:35 Donna Mae Baukat: I don’t know that anyone is on this webinar as they have not been in the past. Cannot overcome being in a silo except perhaps with the council on homelessness. BoS CoC is difficult to get partnerships. 01:01:52 Lloyd Schmeidler: I tell people, "We are ending homelessness for a lot of people, but someone else takes their place." How do we "close the front door" so people don't become homeless in the first place? The ERAP has not eliminated people becoming homeless in the first place. We are seeing fewer people entering our shelters, but they are staying longer because we can't find housing for them, so we have higher rates of unsheltered homelessness! 01:01:54 Kristi Schulenberg: Awesome! How are you asking them? Through the CoC Competition, other funding applications? 01:02:05 Mia Bryant (she/her): Awesome, Jeri! And soon your CoC can start establishing standards for how race equity is addressed. 01:02:31 Jeri Tindal: That's the goal, Mia! 01:02:47 ozzaroe laibson-brown: within education also making access early language exposure 01:03:02 ozzaroe laibson-brown: and access standard 01:03:05 Mia Bryant (she/her): @Lloyd Diversion, homeless prevention, and eviction prevention 01:03:27 Mia Bryant (she/her): Those are all connected to making homelessness rare! 01:04:07 Lloyd Schmeidler: @Mia. We are doing diversion, prevention, and eviction prevention, but the shelters remain full and unsheltered homelessness increases! 01:04:10 Kristi Schulenberg: @Lloyd - one way to address long stays in shelter is making sure shelters are low-barrier, housing first, housing focused, using data to evaluate performance regularly, practicing diversion.
