D rom: avid-ìtarns, ousmg ervIces epartment Re: HUD Funding Application for Homeless Assistance Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's authorization of an application to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for assistance to homeless families and individuals. Discussion HUD armually offers funding, in national competition, for assistance to the homeless, under the "Continuum of Care" funds category. Programs include capital grants for development of shelters, assistance to persons with aids, assistance to the chronically mentally ill homeless and a variety of supportive services programs encouraging local initiatives to address identified needs. This year's national allocation is in excess of$900 million. HUD requires a locality, as a condition of application, to have in place a local consortium of service providers, each providing assistance to the homeless at some point along the "continnum" of needs. This continuum begins with emergency shelter and ends with provision of permanent housing. It includes all necessary services, including mental health interventions, financial assistance, job search and training, education and substance abuse counseling. In preparation for submission of an application this year, the Housing and Community Development Departments have sponsored a series of meetings with area service agencies in an attempt to consolidate the required "consortium." Agencies which have participated in this process include: Hillcrest Family Services Opening Doors/Maria House Substance Abuse Services Center Garmon Center Heartland Housing DHS Four Oaks/Cornerstone Alternative Services Area Agency on Aging ISU Extension Office Project Concern/RTA County General Relief Operation New View Dubuque Community Schools YWCA Womens Shelter Red Cross Workforce Development Center Visiting Nurses Association Veteran's Affairs Office Julien Care Facility In addition, staff ITom the Community Development Department have conducted a survey of area agencies to identifY service capacities, existing assisted housing inventory and "gaps" in services needed to be provided along the continuum. After four meetings with these agencies, needs were ranked and prioritized. In addition, a number of proposals for new services - to be funded by the Continuum application - were discussed and evaluated. Commitments for submission of applications were obtained ITom several agencies; these are now in process. These include staffing for the Maria House transitional housing fàcility and a "one-stop" intake and referral system involving a collaborative effort among many service providers. The role for the City has been to sponsor the formation of the consortium of providers, conduct the needs and gaps analysis and prepare, as part of the Continuum of Care application, a narrative description of the existing service delivery system and the process used to-date to establish the required agencies consortium. These documents are attached to this memorandum. The City is not applying for the Continuum funds and will have no financial obligation for program administration, in the event the planned application is funded by HUD. Action Step The action requested of the Council is to authorize the Mayor to execute the attached application documents, including certification that the proposed activities and programs are consistent with the current approved Consolidated Plan. cc: Jim Burke, CED Director Karen McCarthy, Neighborhood Development Specialist Part II. Continuum of Care I. Continuum of Care Narrative A. Planning Process A series of meetings was held to determine if the community had the momentum, interest and need to move forward in developing Dubuque's Continuum of Care. Meetings were held February 17, March 7, March 10 and March 21,2000. Taking the lead in calling the community together were the City of Dubuque Housing Services and Community and Economic Development Departments, and the area Department of Human Services. Invitations were mailed to 95 agencies ITom a variety of collaboration mailing lists (Empowerment, Decategorization and Homeless Coordinating Board). On February 17, twenty- one persons representing: City Manager's Office, City Community and Economic Development Department (CDBG), City Housing Services (Housing Authority), area Department of Human Services (DHS), DHS DeCategorization Project, area mental health center (homeless outreach), women's emergency/transitional housing, Substance Abuse Services Center, community action agency, Head Start, Information and ReferrallRegional Transit Authority, Area Agency on Aging, Workforce Development Center/ ITP A, child welfure agency, Dubuque School District - Special Education Transitions Program, severe disabilities housing and vocational workshop agency, domestic violence program, Visiting Nurse Association, family support agency, and housing/supportive services provider. This group reviewed the data and prelirninary analysis for the 2001-2006 Consolidated Plan and the Iowa's Homeless Population 1999 Estimates and Profile by the University ofIowa; completed a gaps analysis and set local priorities for both the Continuum of Care and the Consolidated Plan. Just prior to the first meeting, the Housing Action Conference was held on February II. This conference was the culmination of 2 years of community engagement, beginning with 220 personal interviews in 1998. A Housing Summit was held Fehruary of 1999, which brought together 80 participants representing a wide cross-section of Dubuque to develop a vision for housing in Dubuque. Preparation for the Housing Action Conference included identifYing 75 participants ITom stakeholder groups (developers, commerce, community leaders, tenants, government, landlords and services) with connections to the wider community. Members of each stakeholder group attended focus group meetings, providing information to be shared with the larger group prior to the Conference. By the end ofthe Conference, seven groups were formed. Each group had developed a set of action steps they were committed to completing. Since the Conference, groups have met twice prior to a check-back meeting held on March 23. Through these efforts diverse community members are truly working together to address the gaps and needs of the community. Data provided to the Continuum of Care Committee included data (both numbers and insights) gathered by a point in time survey (January, 2000) and findings ITom the Housing Action Conference focus groups. Counted among the attendees of the focus groups were: City of Dubuque Health Services also representing the AIDS Coalition; staff ITom the Garmon Center for Community Mental Health, Hillcrest Family Services, and one consumer of mental health services; four consumers of housing who are disabled; one person representing recent immigrants; one person representing the Hispanic community, three parent/advocates of special needs children; and homeless outreach - Garmon Center, St. Mark's Community Center, neighborhood leaders and Housing Services Department representing the needs of the unshehered. Members of the Continuum of Care Committee representing unsheltered persons include: Operation New View Community Action Agency, City Housing Services Department, Garmon Center for Community Mental Health - homeless outreach and case management project, Opening Doors - homeless shelter for women and children, YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter, Project Concern - Informational and Referral. Members representing substance abuse included: Substance Abuse Services Center. Members representing persons with mental illness included: Garmon Center for Community Mental Health. Members representing persons with disabilities: Area Residential Care and Dubuque Community Schools - Special Education. The Continuum of Care Committee reviewed the results of the gaps analysis, compared these findings with the University ofIowa study and assigned priorities. These priorities were reviewed again by the group and approved by the Community Development Advisory Commission (members represent the 5 low income census tracts and Housing Commission, with two at-large representatives and oversee CDBG activities for the City of Dubuque) as part of the process for developing a new Consolidated Plan. In completing these steps the group began to brainstorm to determine who is homeless and not being served currently. Persons who are jobless, have serious mental illness, have severe disabilities, have substance abuse issues, are youth, are elderly and are persons leaving domestic violence situations were suggested to be least likely to 'fit' into the current service system and least able to negotiate the system Persons acting as advocates for each of these special sub-populations provided insights to the group. The group summarized priorities into two groups: safe supportive living and single point of entry to services. In looking at the single point of entry concept, the group suggested two distinct avenues: one was the provision of staff to connect the 'hard to engage' homeless into the service system (very flexible staffing) and one was access by all agencies to funds to flexibly address the needs of homeless individuals. The funds might pay for a deposit or other housing entry costs, moving a person/fiunily ITom homelessness to the first step toward permanent housing. The funds might purchase services ITom any agency that the person/fumily needs, but for which they would not otherwise be eligible. Part II. Continuum of Care I. Continuum of Care Narrative B. Continuum of Care System Dubuque's programs for service to homeless have inforrnally been monitored since 1992 by the Local Homeless Coordinating Board. This has been staffed through the Garmon Center for Community Mental Health Community Support Center. Members of this committee include representatives of the City of Dubuque Housing Services Department, Department of Human Services General Relief Program, Area Agency on Aging, Legal Services and Operation New View (the area community action agency.) The Board meets quarterly to assess needs and to evaluate opportunities for additional program funding. In addition, a coalition of community service providers - called the Friends of the Community - has for the past 20 years met weekly to network operations. More than 30 agencies attend a morning breakfast to share information and coordinate programs. An armual activity of the Friends is a meeting with state department heads in Des Moines to lobby for funding for Dubuque initiatives. Dubuque's strategy for combating homelessness is to provide resources to insure that no one must sleep in a place not meant for human habitation. Services among agencies are higWy coordinated to insure that homeless do not "full through the cracks." Funding is continuously sought in order to provide responsive and comprehensive programs of assistance. Meetings of service providers are regularly held to evaluate continuum activities and meet needs as identified. A "Continuum of Care Flowchart" is attached, delineating Dubuque's service delivery system. This is described as follows: Outreach. Intake & Assessment The Garmon Community Support Center provides a homeless outreach staff, funded through a State Department of Human Services-funded PATH grant, emphasizing services to homeless chronically mentally ill persons. The outreach worker maintains regular hours at the Rescue Mission homeless shelter. Operation New View (the area community action agency) employs three full-time outreach workers. Project Concern provides the "Information & Referral" program and publishes a directory of area service providers. This agency also maintains a 24-hour crisis line for telephone assistance. Intake and assessment is provided by a number of agencies, including the Department of Human Services (DHS), the Dubuque County General Relief Program, Lutheran Social Services (providing case management services to DHS clients), Alternative Services, the Four Oaks/Cornerstone Program, Catholic Charities, Helping Services of Northeast Iowa, the Scenic Valley Area Agency on Aging, Substance Abuse Services Center and the Dubuque County CPC Administrator. These services are coordinated as appropriate with the Visiting Nurses Association, the Red Cross, Dubuque County Veterans Affairs Office, Salvation Army, City Health Services Department and Legal Services. The Rescue Mission houses the "ITee medical clinic," providing medical intake and referral services. Emergencv Shelter The Dubuque Rescue Mission has been in continuous operation since the 1930's. It currently has six emergency (3-day) beds; and twelve longer-term beds for men enrolling in the Mission's Personal Employment (PEP) Program. The Washington Neighborhood Shelter provides emergency housing for women and children. Stays up to two months are allowed; approximately 8 persons can be served at capacity. Hope House also provides emergency housing for fiunilies (including men). Longer-term stays may be allowed; approximately 8 persons can be served at capacity. The YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter allows stays up to 60 days, with a capacity to serve as many as four victim fiunilies. Hillcrest Family Services has a 13-bed emergency youth shelter for teens; 30-day stays are allowed. Hillcrest's "Safe Haven" program has four emergency beds for kids ages 3-12. Maria House, owned by Opening Doors, is a new emergency - and transitional- shelter, scheduled for opening in late 2000. It will have 18 rooms, for homeless women and women with children. In addition to providing emergency shelter, it will offer transitional housing for up to six months. Transitional Housing As mentioned, both Maria House and the Rescue Mission (for men participating in the PEP Program) provide transitional housing. Hillcrest Family Services operates a transitional independent living program for adolescents moving ITom out-of-home placements to independence. Hillcrest also runs two five-bed group homes for chronically mentally ill adults.. And their Family Empowerment Program operates three apartments for families in transition, with stays up to six months. The Substance Abuse Services Center (SASC) operates a nine-bed halfway house for men and women participating in a recovery program. Stays of up to six months are allowed. Permanent and Supportive Housing The City's Housing Services Department adniinisters Section 8 Programs for 983 households. These include housing certificates and vouchers and "moderate rehabilitation program" (project-based) units. The Garfield House SRO fucility - for II homeless men - is funded through a mod rehab SRO grant ITom HUD. The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program currently provides services to 45 participating fiunilies; case management services are purchased through contracts with the Alternative Services and Four Oaks agencies. Heartland Housing Initiative owns 67 rental units of affordable housing. Tenants are required to participate in a program of supportive services offered by Heartland. The local "community housing development organization" (CHDO) - known as Gateways to Home - owns and operates three rental housing units. Their residents also participate in supportive service programs as a condition of tenancy. The Center for Public Ministry owns and operates a nine-room SRO and provides supportive services to its tenants. Area Residential Care owns and operates 17 community living homes for III disabled adults; and additionally operates nine supervised apartments, for 31 individuals. ARC provides residential treatment services and vocational training programs for its residents. The Hills and Dales Child Development Center is a residential treatment facility for disabled youth and young adults, providing 24-hour nursing care. Hillcrest Family Services has a campus with group homes offering 65 residential treatment beds for adolescents no longer able to live at home. Bertsch Farm is a specialized foster care program for 3-4 adolescents who have completed residential treatment but who are not returning to their familial homes. A number of other housing providers offer permanently affordable rental housing. The Alverno Apartments, St Mary's and Ecumenical Towers projects contain 291 HUD- subsidized units for seniors. Another 249 subsidized fiunily units are provided at Kennedy Manor, Hillcrest Apartments and Sheridan Village. The Dubuque County Julien Care Facility provides institutional residential care for elderly mentally ill and disabled, with 92 beds. The County-owned Sunnycrest Manor provides 104 geriatric care beds and 28 additional beds for elderly mentally ill or developmentally disabled. Part II. Continuum of Care I. Continuum of Care Narrative C. Gaps Analysis In preparation for the Consolidated Plan and the Continuum of Care application a point-in-time survey tool was developed. A similar tool had been developed and distributed by the City Planning Department in July, 1999, with few being returned and those returned not completed in full. As a result, the point-in-time survey conducted by the City Community Development Department in January, 2000 involved personal interviews with providers of services and housing, as well as homeless individuals and entities likely to interact with homeless individuals (i.e., police). Current capacity/inventory was determined and estimated need was captured. Using the personal interview method provided the opportunity to fully understand the responses to the survey questions. Such comments on the first survey as 'don't' know' could be probed during the personal interview. Probing resulted in gathering useful insights into the 'underground homeless' population, including information on persons and young families kicked out of one place or another, attending meal sites, but not accessing the service system Outreach, Intake", Assessment Gannon Corom.
