Consideration of 2023-24 CDGB Grant Funding Recommendations Item 4a Human Relations Commission Agenda Report For Agenda of: 12/7/2022 Item Number: 4a FROM: Owen Goode, Assistant Planner, Community Development Department Phone Number: (805) 781-7073 E-mail: ogoode@slocity.org SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE 2023-24 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATION Review funding recommendations for the 2023-24 Community Development Block Grant Program and provide a recommendation to City Council for final approval. BACKGROUND The City of San Luis Obispo received a total of seven applications for the 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, requesting a total of $967,958. Of the total estimated allocation, 20% of the funds are reserved for administrative costs. This allocation is further distributed by 65% to the County of San Luis Obispo, wit h the remaining 35% reserved for the City. Therefore, of the City’s estimated $484,911, the City is eligible to receive $34,224 for the Administration of the program, and for Capacity Building which allows staff to further implement the Housing Element. In this funding year, the City intends to use half of this allocation for administering the program, a total of $17,112, and the remaining half for further implementation of the Housing Element. Of the total estimated allocation, 15% of the funds are reserved for public services for a total of $73,336. This leaves the remaining 65% to be reserved for public facilities or housing projects for a total of $317,792. FUNDING PRIORITIES On November 1, 2022, the City Council endorsed the Human Relations Commission’s recommended funding priorities for the 2023-24 CDBG funding year. The ranked priorities established by the HRC and City Council are: 1. Provide emergency and transitional shelter, homelessness prevention and services. 2. Develop and enhance affordable housing for low and very-low income persons. 3. Enhance economic development (to include seismic retrofit, economic stability, low- and moderate-income jobs). 4. Promote accessibility and/or removal of architectural barriers for the disabled and elderly. Page 11 of 77 Item 4a APPLICATIONS RECEIVED FOR CDBG FUNDING The above priorities are used as the basis for developing funding recommendations of the 2023-24 CDBG applications. Staff recommends funding five of the seven applications that were received, as shown in Attachment A. All projects and programs that are recommended to receive funding are further described below. A copy of each 2023-24 CDBG application is also provided in Attachment B1. 1. Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo (CAPSLO) – 40 Prado Homeless Services Center Staffing: CAPSLO has requested $85,000 in CDBG funds to increase the capacity, range, and efficiency of services offered by staff at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. The City is recommending a partial funding award for this application of $64,191 because it meets the first ranked priority of providing emergency and transitional shelter, homelessness prevention and services. This application is part of the Public Services funding reservation. 2. 5 Cities Homeless Coalition – Rapid Rehousing/Homeless Prevention: 5CHC has requested $20,333 in CDBG funds for staff costs for Rapid Re -housing and Homeless Prevention. Staff has identified that this application also meets the first rank of the approved funding priorities and funding support assists with part of the regional collaboration effort to reduce homelessness within the City as well as the County. Staff is recommending funding for the Direct Labor, shown in the budget request, for a total of $9,145. This application is part of the Public Services funding reservation. 3. Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo – Orcutt Road Apartments: The Housing Authority has requested $2,000,000 in CDBG & HOME funds for the Orcutt Road Apartments. The total project cost is $18,701,380 and will construct 39 new affordable housing units for Extremely Low-Income individuals. This application aligns with the second approved funding priority but ranked highest competitively because of the number of units to be constructed and the sensitive group that it supports. Staff recommends the maximum funding available for this application for a total of $317,792. 4. City of San Luis Obispo – CDBG Administration and Capacity Building: City Community Development staff are requesting $17,112 for administrative costs of the CDBG program, and $17,112 for housing capacity building. The capacity building allocation can be used for affordable housing-related City programs. Staff anticipates using a portion of this funding for the implementation of the City’s 6 th Cycle Housing Element. Per the CDBG guidelines, a maximum of 20% of the total grant allocation can be utilized for program administration. The City is thus eligible to utilize 35% of the program administration allocation for associated City costs per the Cooperation Agreement with the County. The two requests of $17,112 are both consistent with City’s allocation of $34,224. 1 The application from the County of San Luis Obispo for CDBG Administration is not included. Page 12 of 77 Item 4a ROLE OF THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION These recommendations are provided for the benefit of the public and members of the HRC. The HRC’s role is to consider these recommendations and take public testimony and either, (1) accept the allocations proposed if the HRC concurs, or (2) make changes so that the recommendation reflects the views of a majority of the Commission. The adopted priorities should guide the Commission throughout the discussion. NEXT STEPS The HRC’s recommended allocations will be forwarded to the County of San Luis Obispo for incorporation into the 2023-24 Draft Action Plan, and also to the City Council for a final recommendation. The Action Plan will be considered for approval by the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors in March of 2023.

BUDGET • Funds Requested (Amount and Source) CDBG: $170,000 ($85,000 from City of SLO; $85,000 from County of SLO) • Total Project/ Program Cost (Identify funding to be used to support the project throughout affordability period, if applicable) See attached program budget • Identify leveraged funds (Committed, Match, Not (Yet Committed) See attached program budget • Identify additional rental assistance in project, if applicable N/A • Indicate how the match requirement will be met (include sources and source documentation), if applicable. See attached program budget 4. PURPOSE & NEED • Purpose of the Proposed Project. Describe the project by addressing each of the following: o What activities will be undertaken? CAPSLO is proposing CDBG funding to adequately maintain staffing at 40 Prado so that the current participant-to-staff ratio is ensured, as well as maintaining the opportunity for participants to engage with case management staff in developing an immediate plan for housing. Case managers continue to work with their housed clients for six months after placement, further supporting their success. Given the influx of medically fragile, elderly, and dual-diagnosed individuals over the last year – and given the current economic crisis -- there must be sufficient staffing levels to provide the “eyes-on” so that 40 Prado remains a safe and stable place for people to be. Without the foundational support of CDBG funding, we are unable to provide the complex and comprehensive services necessary to meet the specialized needs of the homeless community. o What are the project goals and objectives? The goal of the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center is to increase self-sufficiency for homeless individuals and families. The objective is to provide a path out of homelessness, which is accomplished with comprehensive, on-site, wrap around services and case management, described in detail in Question 2, and will include the new medically assisted withdrawal treatment program (MAT). 40 Prado is able to provide such a wide variety of services because it depends on CDBG funding to cover sufficient shelter staffing, supervision of shelter staff, and costs associated with day-to-day operations. o Explain the need being addressed by this project. CAPSLO’s 40 Prado is a consolidated homeless services center providing on-site medical, mental health and substance abuse services. With 31% of clients over age 55, many individuals with mental health issues, and an influx of homeless individuals and families due to the deepening economic crisis, it is essential to maintain sufficient staffing in order to provide safe and stable services to the diverse population on-site. The maintenance of sufficient staffing also enables participants to obtain quicker access to information as they move themselves through the necessary steps towards obtaining housing. Page 18 of 77 San Luis Obispo County’s high cost of living and housing are heavily impacting the local homeless who are experiencing longer spans of homelessness. Until there is more affordable housing in the county, emergency sheltering and day services will be a fact of life. CDBG funding supports the foundational operating expenses of 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. o Explain how the need was identified. The 40 Prado Homeless Services Center is heavily utilized, demonstrating the ongoing need for services. In the last fiscal year, 40 Prado provided services to 917 unduplicated homeless persons; 30% were female heads of household, and 48% were disabled. The 2022 Homeless Count and Survey (Point-In-Time) counted 1,448 homeless individuals living in San Luis Obispo County, statistically level from 2019. However, the study showed that 80% of the homeless population was unsheltered on the night of the count. Who are the beneficiaries? How will eligibility be determined? Beneficiaries of this project will be 1,100 low-income individuals and families at- risk of homelessness or currently homeless in San Luis Obispo County, including the cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach and the City of San Luis Obispo. Disabled individuals are provided healthcare from the on-site primary health care available at 40 Prado, as well as behavioral and mental health services. There has been a large increase in the number of elderly participants, a population for whom safe and stable sheltering is essential. CAPSLO provides Head Start resources to children, as well as coordinates with SLO Coastal Unified School District. Of the total number of persons served by CAPSLO at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center, we project 15% will be LOW - INCOME, and 85% will be VERY LOW INCOME. Eligibility will be determined by a Homeless Shelter worker who conducts an intake interview with the individual or family when they first arrive at the shelter. CAPSLO’s digital client intake forms document, maintain and store this data into the Client Track database. (A printout of the Client Intake Form that comprises the digital Client Intake screen is attached.) Income verification for CDBG/ESG beneficiaries is provided in accordance with 24 CFR Part 5. o Is there community and/or political support? Explain. CAPSLO has a long-standing tradition of partnering with organizations to enhance, but not duplicate, services. With the commitment to providing participants with easier access to care, CAPSLO has worked diligently to collaborate with providers to bring necessary services on-site. CAPSLO is the Lead Agency in Coordinated Entry and sub-contracts with 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) and El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO). Through the development of a shared case management data system, Client Track, CAPSLO is able to provide assessments and connect individuals and families to the most appropriate services countywide. CAPSLO routinely works with other organizations including those within the SLO Supportive Housing Consortium, and actively advocates with the partner organizations that provide permanent housing, including Transitions Mental Health Association (TMHA) and the Housing Authority (HASLO). CAPSLO refers Page 19 of 77 appropriate clients to other organizations, including Food Bank, HomeShare SLO, Los Osos Cares, Paso Cares and Family Resource Centers throughout the county. CAPSLO also works closely with the countywide Community Action Teams (CAT), and in particular, the SLO City CAT, that has provided tremendous assistance in helping individuals divert back to their family when appropriate. Adult Protective Services has also played a vital role in personally accompanying frail individuals back to their homes if needed, in order to ensure a safe and smooth transition. CAPSLO staff identify the best options for the most complicated and challenging situations presented and most often this includes extensive partnerships with other organizations. In its strategic planning process, CAPSLO is intentionally aligning with the San Luis Obispo Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness, 2022-2027. o Describe how the impact will be sustained once this round of funding ends. The operation and maintenance costs for 40 Prado Homeless Services Center are funded through a combination of local government grants, corporate grants, private foundation grants, and from community donations through the fundraising efforts of both CAPSLO and Friends of 40 Prado. However, the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center depends on grant funding from the County of San Luis Obispo for its ongoing operations. • Organizational Capacity. Summarize the organization's background/capacity to carry out the proposed project. Address the following points: o Has the organization carried out this type of project previously? Explain. CAPSLO has taken the lead in pioneering many collaborative and innovative projects to address unmet needs for the homeless, and is the lead agency in the Coordinated Entry and CESH programs, working in collaboration 5CHC and ECHO. In 2016, the Recuperative Care Program, the first medically modeled program in the county, was developed in partnership with CenCal Health, Tenet Health and Dignity Health, providing respite care and medical case management for medically fragile homeless individuals released from local hospitals. It was named a “best practice” by CenCal Health in 2017. In 2017 CAPSLO was awarded a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant for providing services to dual-diagnosed, chronically homeless individuals in its SLO-HUB program, one of only 20 grants awarded nationally and cited as a national “best practice” by SAMHSA. In 2019, the SLO County Department of Behavioral Health placed a full-time, licensed mental health therapist at 40 Prado to work with those individuals evaluated as having “moderate-to-severe” mental health issues. CAPSLO then partnered with Community Counseling Center to have interns on-site four days a week to see individuals with “mild-to-moderate” mental health issues. In 2020, CAPSLO was the lead applicant on several CARES Act funding grants to serve the homeless population in SLO County, coordinating services with 5CHC and ECHO. Page 20 of 77 o What makes the organization a preferred provider of this service? CAPSLO has successfully provided homeless services in San Luis Obispo County for 33 years. Jack Lahey was hired as CAPSLO’s Homeless Services Director June 2021 and is responsible for all services at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. His prior work experience includes a decade of working in homeless serving organizations, including overseeing three departments within LA Family Housing in Los Angeles, directing over $68 million of government grants from multiple funding sources, and supervising over 50 employees. Mr. Lahey has a Masters in Social Work from USC, and is the author of numerous published research articles on homelessness. Lawren Ramos has been CAPSLO’s Director of Community Services since September 2020, supporting the divisions of Homeless Services, Health & Prevention, Adult Services, Supportive Services for Veteran Families, and Energy Services. Mr. Ramos has over 15 years of experience in executive leadership of several social service organizations, including Childhelp, the Orangewood Foundation and Boys Town California. Mr. Ramos holds an MS in Human Services from Bellevue University. In addition to its highly qualified key staff, CAPSLO has the necessary infrastructure to successfully implement and monitor complex grants and contracts. Currently CAPSLO has over 250 different contracts and participates in multiple federal and state financial audits, and has never had a finding. CAPSLO’s Finance Department handles budget management and payment requests for this grant, ensuring contract and reporting compliance. In addition, CAPSLO undergoes an agency-wide, rigorous audit process annually by the firm of Brown Armstrong Certified Public Accountants. The process includes inquiry and observation to understand and evaluate CAPSLO’s internal controls, confirmations, interim testing and compliance audits, and substantive procedural analysis. Critical audit areas include compliance with federal and state awards, expenses for program and support services, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, program revenue and unearned deferred revenue, cash, property and equipment, and long-term debt. A summary of the audit is formally presented by Brown Armstrong to both the Audit and Finance Committees of the Board, as well as the full Board of Directors and senior management. CAPSLO has had no findings in any audit over the past two decades. Additionally, CAPSLO Homeless Services participates in County of San Luis Obispo CDBG and other HUD program reviews and desk audits as required. 5.ELIGIBILITY •Indicate the eligible activity category for this project. The eligibility category for this CDBG project is Public Services. The proposed project meets the CDBG National Objective because 100% of the beneficiaries of the Page 21 of 77 proposed activities will be Low/Moderate income persons. The specific group of persons the proposed project will serve are homeless persons. CAPSLO requests documentation of family/individual income for clients of the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. 6. SCHEDULE • Provide a detailed project timeline, include milestones with units of measure. See attachments. • Describe agency’s record keep system with relevance to the proposed project and how reporting requirements will be met. CAPSLO participates in the County’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) as required, and also utilizes its own database, Client Track, to collect client data as part of the County Continuum of Care’s Coordinated Entry System and to keep and store client files that include demographic data (i.e., race/ethnicity, gender, age, disability and military status), family information (i.e., household size and income), attendance, services accessed, individual daily client activities and incidents, services provided, meals, and referrals. Client Track is HMIS-compliant and is used to collect and manage data associated with assessments on, and referrals for, the individual clients at a higher level of detail than the county’s HMIS. A systems analyst at CAPSLO trains program staff on Client Track, provides reports, and implements the numerous changes (“syncs”) required to maintain system accuracy. • 7.

If applicable, indicate whether the project site will require acquisition or if the sponsor already has ownership. PSHH will provide clinical social services and case management of the Supportive Housing Program (SHP) to residents of PSHH’s 27 affordable rental properties in San Luis Obispo County. The over 80% of households are classified as very-low-income, earning 50% or less AMI. Services are primarily provided onsite at the properties where residents live, and virtually as needed by residents, weekdays between 9 am and 6 pm. Services are free, confidential, and always optional, provided by clinical social workers (LCSWs, ACSWs, LMFTs, and AMFTs) with a master’s degree in counseling or social services. Services prevent homelessness among some of the region’s most vulnerable residents while enhancing housing stability and resiliency. SHP staff is certified in trauma-informed care, a treatment framework that allows providers to understand, recognize, and respond to the effects of all types of trauma while emphasizing physical, psychological and emotional safety for both patients and providers. These practices assist survivors in rebuilding control and empowerment. After 18 months of living under the effects of the pandemic, residents’ need for our behavioral health support services is at an all-time high, and the scope of our social workers’ role has broadened vastly in response. Services are provided in English and Spanish to any of the 751 households and 1,656 individuals in residence at PSHH properties in the County. Another 126 units are scheduled to open before or during the grant period, where SHP services will also be provided. These units will compose three properties, one in the City of San Luis Obispo, one in Pismo Beach, and one in Templeton. Please see the “Project Address” section for more information on these properties. SHP services are free, confidential, completely optional, and available to all PSHH residents. Residents are never placed on a waiting list, and are provided immediate assistance to ensure that those at risk of homelessness remain stably housed. Social workers provide free and confidential assistance with coordinating medical appointments and mobility, linking residents to community resou rces, enhancing budgeting skills, and assisting with job placement and retention. Services also provide crisis intervention, address behavioral health challenges, access emergency financial assistance for basic needs, and more. SHP helps residents maintain critical transportation, enhance financial and family stability, and access PSHH’s resident emergency assistance fund when no other resources are available. Social workers maintain records of all client services, outcomes, and resources via a HIPPA-compliant client database. We anticipate/have assisting/ed the following PSHH households in the following towns and regions: •52 of 98 households in Arroyo Grande, including those from properties for seniors & those with disabilities.

N/A 4. PURPOSE & NEED • Purpose of the Proposed Project. Describe the project by addressing each of the following: o What activities will be undertaken? PSHH’s Supportive Housing Program will provide clinical social services and case management to residents of our 26 sliding-scale, affordable rental properties located in San Luis Obispo County. Households are certified as very-low-income at time of move-in, as determined by earning 50% or less of Area Median Income, per HUD income limits. Within SLO County, our housing is located in the cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Avila Beach, Cambria, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Oceano, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, and Templeton. On move-in, PSHH Property Managers schedule an orientation meeting with the resident, at which time the resident receives program outreach and contact information for common SHP resources. Once a resident initiates services, SHP clinical case managers arrange an intake meeting to assess household needs, establish resiliency goals, and co-develop an individualized case management plan to attain those. Services are typically provided weekdays between 9 am and 6 pm, and always by a licensed or associate clinical social worker or marriage and family therapists (LCSWs, ACSWs, LMFTs, and AMFTs.). Grant funding will support the five social workers and two clinical supervisors providing SHP services in San Luis Obispo County. Services are provided in English and Spanish to any of the 751 households and 1,609 residents living at our 26 affordable rental properties in the County. SHP services are free, confidential, and available to all PSHH residents on a voluntary basis. Residents are never placed on a waiting list and are always provided immediate assistance to ensure those at risk of homelessness recidivism remain stably housed. As new residents are considered to remain at risk of homelessness recidivism, SHP staff also ensure housing retention through personal finance coaching, job skills acquisition and career placement services to help them build personal resiliency. SHP services allow seniors to age in place independently and with dignity through regular wellness checks, medical assistance and transportation, and preventive health screenings. Social workers assist residents living with mobility and cognitive disabilities in accessing community resources needed for safe, independent living, such as securing accommodations, medical coverage, and adaptive technology. o What are the project goals and objectives? PSHH proposes the continuation of SHP services at PSHH properties throughout San Luis Obispo County. SHP will serve approximately 514 households through over 3,500 hours of clinical social work and case management. Services are provided in English and Spanish to any members of any of the households residing at PSHH’s affordable supportive housing properties in the County. These include: •18 in Atascadero Page 33 of 77 •110 in Paso Robles, including those from housing for seniors and those experiencing disabilities •33 in San Luis Obispo •104 in Los Osos •28 in Oceano •29 in Avila Beach •24 in Cambria •112 in Templeton, including those from housing for seniors and those experiencing disabilities •160 total in unincorporated San Luis Obispo County While PSHH does not propose to make the following outcomes part of the goals of the project, as no funds are requested from the following municipalities, it should be noted that we also forecast serving the following households in San Luis Obispo County: •52 households in Arroyo Grande, including those from housing for seniors and those experiencing disabilities •99 in Morro Bay, including those from housing for seniors and those experiencing disabilities •26 in Pismo Beach During the grant period, 98% of SHP clients will maintain stable housing for six months after initiating program services, meeting the requirement for reaching housing stability as established by HUD, which provides CDBG funding. Our approach recognizes that just providing affordable housing is not enough. It must be healthy housing which includes easy access to transportation hubs, good paying jobs, healthy activities, and food systems, all of which support a life full of opportunity for vulnerable populations. Our priority is to assist residents in meeting their most basic needs of food, housing, income security, and health. To help residents achieve stability, our social workers provide free and confidential assistance with: •coordinating medical appointments and mobility •linking residents to community resources •enhancing budgeting skills •assisting with job searches •providing crisis intervention •addressing mental health issues •accessing emergency financial assistance for basic needs During the grant period, SHP will continue to evaluate emerging resident needs, including those continuing to stem from the economic impact of COVID-19 on low-income households, in order to better assist residents in addressing household challenges. Evaluation of emerging needs not only guides SHP services, but provides insight for PSHH as a whole, guiding organizational policy development and the establishment of new services. o Explain the need being addressed by this project. Today, 16% of households who live at PSHH properties transitioned out of homelessness upon moving into a PSHH home. While this transition to permanent supportive housing means that our residents are no longer served by homelessness service providers, we recognize that that the unique needs and challenges faced by this population means these households tend to require a higher level of service and assistance to prevent recidivism. We draw on nearly 20 years of providing SHP services to the recently homeless to ensure their transition is successful and permanent. PSHH currently houses Page 34 of 77 With 94% of all PSHH households in San Luis Obispo County qualifying as HUD low-income households, SHP clients are at risk of homelessness. Longitudinal studies show that an inability to pay rent or a utility bill frequently escalates into eviction and homelessness. PSHH keeps vulnerable members of San Luis Obispo County securely housed and building resiliency, rather than suffering eviction and moving on to levels of care that are more costly for the community. The San Luis Obispo County 2022 Point In Time Count indicates that among unsheltered respondents, 38% said financial assistance or income could have prevented them from becoming homeless, 31% said rental assistance, 21% said employment assistance, 19% said food assistance, and 17% said transportation assistance. SHP provides enhanced access to all of these. In 2021, PSHH provided SHP services to 57% of San Luis Obispo County households, providing services that prevent homelessness. SHP administers a needs assessment to new clients and then works with residents to co-develop a case management plan to meet their personal resiliency goals. Residents stabilize by meeting their immediate needs, such as personal care items, food, health screenings, prescriptions, and a telephone. Next, they are assisted in obtaining resources that will sustain these, such as employment, nutritional security, health insurance, and critical transportation. When they are ready, SHP helps these residents with more personalized needs, such as seeking legal aid, physical and mental health care, education, personal finance coaching, and help reconnecting with family, friends and support networks. o Explain how the need was identified. According to California Housing Partnership’s 2021 Affordable Housing Needs Report, 82% of very- low-income households are considered extremely rent-burdened, paying over half their income on housing costs and placing them at risk of homelessness. Additionally, 9,187 low-income renter households in the county lack access to an affordable home. In 2022, the average Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom apartment within the county was $1,890 per month, representing a 13.51% increase from the previous year and placing the region in the 99th percentile for housing costs among other Fair Market Rent areas. This means renters in the county need to earn over 2.5 times the minimum wage to afford the monthly asking rent. Additionally, the County’s most recent homelessness Point-in-Time Census count, there were 1,483 homeless individuals living in the county. Of respondents, 66% cited unaffordability of rent as the primary cause of homelessness. A significant portion of these individuals were also living with untreated health conditions, where 41% of respondents were living with a disability, and over a third were living with severe behavioral health conditions such as PTSD. Housing is widely understood to be a social determinant of physical and mental health, access to opportunity, and lifelong fulfillment. While supportive housing is predominantly used as a tool to prevent recidivism when housing those transitioning out of homelessness, it has also been demonstrated to be highly effective at stabilizing extremely low- to very low-income households. The benefits of supportive housing are particularly evident among historically underserved ethnic and racial demographics, which have faced widening economic and health disparities as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Studies have shown a direct positive association between supportive housing and improved behavioral health, decreased incidence of substance abuse, and household financial resiliency following six months of residency. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) establishes the Area Median Income (AMI) determinations for households of varying sizes in a given region. One half of households in a region will have an income below the AMI, and one half will be above AMI. For instance, a family of three earning less than 50% AMI in San Luis Obispo County is earning less than $48,900 per year. Page 35 of 77 The SHP model provides a path to housing stability for our residents that is in line with best practices from the private and public sectors and has proven effective and sustainable for decades. While many organizations provide affordable housing, and others clinical case management, too few have integrated the two. PSHH engages in advocacy to enhance public infrastructure that supports this model and shares information with other affordable housing organizations to further this model nationwide. o Who are the beneficiaries? How will eligibility be determined? The project and activities will serve seniors, veterans, persons living with disabilities, farmworker families, those transitioning out of homelessness, and individuals from historically under-resourced racial and ethnic demographics, all of whom are low-income upon move-in. Currently, 94% of PSHH household are low-income, earning 80% or less AMI. Within the County's geographic footprint, 62% of our residents are Latino, 17% of heads of household are living with a disability, 10% are veterans, 57% are female, over one-third are seniors, and 16% were previously homeless. These populations will benefit from access to onsite clinical social services and preventive health care. Seniors will benefit from services that enable them to age in place and with dignity, and will receive regular wellness checks, health screenings, assistance with medical appointment coordination and transportation, and nutrition assistance. Veterans and those living with disabilities will benefit from access to onsite clinical case management, assistance securing accommodations and adaptive technology, and safe, thoughtfully-designed ADA-accessible housing which promotes dignified, independent living. Residents making the transition out of homelessness will benefit from financial coaching, career access services, behavioral health counseling and homelessness prevention programming. English Language Learners also benefit from culturally-relevant social services, mediation and language support provided by social workers, and access to PSHH's Camino Scholars Education Program, which provides free afterschool support in literacy and math to families of students residing at PSHH properties in Paso Robles. o Is there community and/or political support? Explain. An integral part of ensuring SHP service provision and ensuring seamless quality of care is forging partnerships with a diverse range of community resources that promote health, safety, and long-term resiliency. Some of the agencies we regularly work with in San Luis Obispo County include: •5 Cities Homeless Coalition for rental and deposit assistance •SLO County public health for pop-up Covid-19 vaccine clinics •Cuesta Community College for English as a Second Language classes •Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo for Housing Choice Vouchers and Rental and Security Deposit Assistance •The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing for vouchers for homeless veterans, who in turn are prioritized on our waiting lists and receive a waived background check fee •Noor Clinic SLO for senior dental care and health screenings •San Luis Obispo County Social Service Administration enhancing access to benefits such as Cal Fresh, Cash Assistance and In-Home Supportive Services •SLO County Food Bank and the Salvation Army for food distribution •Catholic Charities for emergency assistance with rental and utility payments Page 36 of 77 •CAPSLO for utility assistance and the Supportive Services for Veteran Families to provide access to financial and legal assistance and employment counseling •SLO Safe Ride & Ride-On for senior & access shuttle, veterans express, and medical transportation •Transitions Mental Health and County Behavioral Health for behavioral health support •Community Health Centers for resident health screenings and care •San Luis Obispo County Community Garden Network for community garden spaces at properties for seniors and those living with disabilities While this list provides some of the most significant examples of PSHH’s cooperative relationships with outside agencies in San Luis Obispo County, it is by no means comprehensive. o Describe how the impact will be sustained once this round of funding ends. PSHH provides SHP to residents on an ongoing basis, continuing to provide services until clients no longer need or desire services. Funds are raised via local, regional, and national grantors, individual and corporate giving, and through rental fees collected at PSHH rental properties. • Organizational Capacity. Summarize the organization's background/capacity to carry out the proposed project. Address the following points: 1)Has the organization carried out this type of project previously? Explain. 2) What makes the organization a preferred provider of this service? This program has been continuously operating for over 18 years. SHP is available to every household that lives at a PSHH property on the Central Coast. Agency-wide 98% of SHP clients maintain stable housing for six months after initiating program services, meeting the requirement for housing stability as established by HUD, which provides CDBG funding. SHP is open to each of the 5,500+ resident of our 53 affordable rental properties in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, ensuring that every household is given the opportunity to create a safe, healthy, and secure home. Last calendar year, SHP served 1,204 households, 63% of all PSHH households, across three counties through nearly 20,000 hours of service, with 676 referrals to partnering agencies. Case managers also helped distribute emergency assistance funds to over 100 families with pressing rental and utility relief needs. SHP is housed in the Department of Neighborhood Development and Resident Services, headed by Rick Gulino, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and is staffed by two Clinical Supervisors, six Bilingual Social Workers, and three Social Workers, all licensed or associate clinical social workers or marriage and family therapists. PSHH also partners with regional universities and colleges to provide internships to social work graduate students. 5.

PSHH uses two databases that are relevant to the project. The first is the organization’s resident database, which stores information on every PSHH household, including household members, ages, race and ethnicity, income at move-in, and income at the most recent recertification. This database is maintained by the Property Management Department. The second database is the SHP program database, which is used to store case management records, and is maintained by PSHH clinical social workers. This database includes case files and notes, which are tagged for specific services provided during instances of service, and it is easily cross referenced with the resident database. These tags are relevant to various outcomes, outputs, and funder reports. Examples of service tags include crisis intervention, healthcare services, food assistance, transportation, counseling services, and legal issues. Page 38 of 77 7.

Rapid re-housing connects families and individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing through a tailored package of time- limited financial assistance and targeted supportive services. Rapid Re-Housing involves intensive and specialized case management targeted at identifying displaced clients’ most pertinent needs; connect them to community resources. The case manager then works with the household to create a budget; identify income opportunities; determine eligibility for entitlement programs (such as SSI and SSDI); research housing options, and create and carryout case plans. All activities are on-going throughout the year, based on referral and prioritization protocols, following each participant’s case plan. Homeless Prevention – Services will be provided to those at imminent risk of homelessness based on need and qualification. Clients receive targeted case management services per their individual circumstance, in addition to direct financial assistance to enable them to remain in their housing, or deposit assistance needed to re-house them to prevent homelessness. Services may include financial literacy, job and income counseling, benefits advocacy (for unearned income support as appropriate), housing search supports. o What are the project goals and objectives? The goal of the program is to assist participants to secure long-term stable housing that they can afford to retain. Rapid re- housing is a primary solution for ending homelessness. It has been demonstrated to be effective in getting people experiencing homelessness into permanent housing and keeping them there. By connecting people with a home, they are in a better position to address other challenges that may have led to their homelessness, such as obtaining employment or addressing substance abuse issues. The intervention has also been effective for people traditionally perceived to be more difficult to serve, including people with limited or no income and survivors of domestic violence. Research demonstrates that those who receive rapid re-housing assistance are homeless for shorter periods of time than those assisted with shelter or transitional housing. Rapid re-housing is also less expensive than other homeless interventions, such as shelter or transitional housing. The program also provides immediate assistance to participants who are homeless or at risk. Program outcomes track length of time homeless; length of time homeless from program enrollment; income changes and housing retention rates. o Explain the need being addressed by this project. Housing costs continue to rise year over year here in San Luis Obispo County, with more than a 20% increase in just the past year. Given the tight housing market, most available units comes from private landlords, Page 42 of 77 with an increasing trend to charge double-deposits, 5CHC is spending an average of $4,500 to move families into housing (deposit and first month’s rent). Just since July 1, 2022 we’ve seen rents increase on average by $200-$400 per month, with a high amount of property turnover. This has affected those living in the units who are often displaced due to income limits, or those who struggle to retain housing and find themselves at imminent risk of homeelessness. These continued increases in deposits and monthly rents has had a direct effect on the number of households projected to be served by this grant, and why we are requesting expanded funds through additional funding sources. o Explain how the need was identified. The County’s recently adopted Strategic Plan to address homelessness calls for a need assist an additional 160 persons to find housing by adding resources for Rapid Re-Housing activities (Line of Effort 1.d) and to prevent homelessness for an additional 50 people each year through HP and Diversion (Line of Effort 2.d) o Who are the beneficiaries? How will eligibility be determined? 5CHC's Housing Program targets financial assistance and services to individuals and families based on income and anticipated need, following a coordinated entry assessment and progressive engagement model. Those who receive emergency grants for subsistence payments (rental assistance, 05Q) or for deposit assistance (05T Assistance will be provided to benefit a clientele who are generally presumed by HUD to be principally L/M income persons - those who are homeless. This population is among those who are currently presumed by HUD to be made up principally of L/M income persons: Reference: §570.208(a)(2)(i)(A). Additionally, as some assistance will be provided to those of imminent threat of homelessness, 5CHC's program additionally requires information on family size and income so that it is evident that at least 51% of the clientele are persons whose family income does not exceed the L/M income limit. Reference: §570.208(a)(2)(i)(B) and (C) o Is there community and/or political support? Explain. 5CHC receives financial support for this program with each of its local government parnters annually, in addition to the recent augmentation of funds through ARPA and other local means. 5CHC is recognized for its RRP and HP work; and is currently receiving strong support to expand services in other areas on the continuum (including shelter). In addition, individual community members and local businesses continue to support 5CHC (mostly with unrestricted dollars) with more than $400,000 in contributions annually. o Describe how the impact will be sustained once this round of funding ends. The RRH and HP program has on-going needs that have only increased in recent years, and housing prices continue to skyrocket. Without this continued funding this program will not be sustained. In the current fiscal year (2022-23) 5CHC is on track to serve more than 500 families through RRH and an additional 500 families through Homeless Prevention efforts. In 2021-22 5CHC expended more than $500,000 in direct financial assistance this program; and is currently on pace to spend more than $900,000 in this fiscal year in direct financial assistance. Funding awards from annual grant funds for ESG and CDBG have been reduced each of the last several years. Currently nearly all of the funds being dedicated to Rapid Re-Housing and Homeless Prevention activities in the county, are through CARES Act CV ESG and CDBG Funds - most of which will be exhausted within the first quarter of this grant application’s funding cycle. Other one-time monies that have come available (such as ARPA) have not been targeted to RRH or HP activities, but instead expanded area shelter activities. Thus, without these funds for 2023- 24, the program will be severely reduced. • Organizational Capacity. Summarize the organization's background/capacity to carry out the proposed project. Address the following points: Page 43 of 77 o Has the organization carried out this type of project previously? Explain. 5Cities Homeless Coalition has successfully provided rapid re-housing and homeless prevention programs since 2015. As noted above, through CARES Act CV funds, 5chc will invest more than $900,000 this fiscal year in RRP and HP activities. Currently 5CHC is under contract or has been awarded 10 local, state and federal grants to provide RRH and HP services. o What makes the organization a preferred provider of this service? 5CHC has been the leading provider of these services for several years. 5CHC seeks to ensure that its services are both culturally and professionally competent; and accessible regardless of race or ethnicity or other condition. 5CHC staff represent a broad cross section including those of color, Latinx; those with lived experience. Currenlty, 5CHC employs 8 who are bilingual/bicultural speaking both English and Spanish; additionally, the agency has access to support those who are mono-lingual Mixteco. 5CHC staff have extensive training and relationships with those in the LBTGQ community. 5CHC works to train staff to ensure services are welcoming and provided without discrimination or judgment, that we approach our work through a trauma-informed perspective, and are attentive to specific circumstances (such as those who have experienced sex-trafficking or sexual violence).Collaboration 5CHC Homeless Services program is integrated in the local Continuum of Care, focusing on collaboration and strategic action. 5CHC is a key participant in the Coordinated Entry System receiving referrals community partners throughout the compendium of services. Additionally, 5CHC staff participate in HSOC at all levels and regularly participate in evidence-based trainings (Mental Health First Aid, etc.) 5CHC also has a program of providing staff trainings monthly with other service professionals and partner agencies. 5.
