I want to start sorry the presentation is coming up um, chair butler thank you for recognizing reverend williams this morning i was on the boards and working closely with janice a big also to the city but were fortunate he did all of the Amazing Things he did for us so thank you. So im going to start by giving an update of response system and corresponding problematic updates. So outreach in states study with two thousand plus engagements in march. Our corresponding sgriz with consistent with one hundred plus conducted in march. And we do is new corresponded Demographic Data to show the percent in the system that is a good shifted from last fiscal year and black africanamerican have less and seeing a significant increase in latino americans. As you may know the local homeless krovrpd board hosts subcommittee meetings on the second tuesday of each month in the forum where design work it regularly done and reported we continue to have a process for corresponding redesign and the work is new governance chapter approved in january of twentyfour hour and Mission Statements to be present at the homeless Public Meeting in moa and one upcoming milestone identifying changes well be sharing with you. Mrs. We have an update of people at risk through the Prevention Program a reminder we now have this prevention database and a part of this this is our new database moving forward and this is clients served by hsh, july 2023 and march, 2024. During this time 1,000 plus households were served with the total of 7. 7 million allotment in Financial Assistance and nearly 50 percent for back rent and for housing. As you can see on the database was a significant increase in the number of households served number march this is due in part to one procedure processing theyre applications toward the hsh funding due to the delays this increase led to the increase in resources an outlier in march. And then problem solving resolutions increased slightly with one hundred and 7 resolutions so far in fiscal year seven hundred and 61 households assistance with 2. 5 million in Financial Assistance. So Relocation Assistance i think as you can see hsh and the Human Services partnered on the public database focused on the relocation a subset of this secretary in the previous slides this database is the realization and problem solving assistance is offered by the department of homelessness Supportive Housing started in 2022 with the longstanding homeless program. The county Adult Assistance Program is offered by the him Services Agency for folks this program was launched in april of 2023. The journey home is offend by hsh and hsa for unhoused people and people with disorders this Program Start in 2023. And on the database so far this fiscal year the city has helped three hundred and 13 people reunite with family and friends and outside of San Francisco the Problem Solving Program is a serious of assistance. The database it on the website we invite you there. As a reminder we also have an line our database tracking inventory and hsh funds over 13 thousand plus units and including Supportive Housing and rapid rehousing and the hours lottery program. Housing placement were consistent in march with one hundred and 82 placements for adults and 16 percent were transitional youth and 15 were families with children. Updates the flexible housing rent agreements with community s f and t gi were referral to begin and hsh is awarded Grant Agreement for both services and Housing Program for adults, the 60 slots and families and scoffing slots respecterly and for women and 50 slots contracted for sf i want to say i got a few questions from commissioners about Community One thing request the staff to make sure that Community Forward has the expertise to serve the transcommunity a question that came up a couple of times in the few weeks i want to say our staff will preside the resources to Community Forward if they dont have that just to be clear. Hsh inspection of policy and in april covers the policy for housing inspections of locally funded this policy is part of a hsh strategies to insure the quality hoifrz across the portfolio. Along with the pool hsh has distributed and anonymous in an updated participant role for subsidies eligibility and compliance for the environments. I want to provide an update on the rehousing work that of the Hope House Program participants. As you know, we have offsite our contractor relationship with the services and have been gradually winding down the housing for Veterans Program and eligible tenants were offered a union in the Supportive Housing portfolio they can use in the private market and where the you want tenant qualifies and they meet the standards of government in a vast majority of cases the tenants a total of 84 clients enrolled as of april 68 tenants have been rehoused 29 in rehousing and 29 in radical rehousing and one in family and four outside of our system. Two housed with problem solving assistance and two others have been unable to track theyre currently 16 households in the process were also working with the landlord and active in the program to see if theyre interested in participating in another one of hsh subsidy programs and then hsh continues to make progress towards all entering housing crisis with the u. S. Department of housing and urban development this is a one Time Opportunity for nine hundred vouchers for people that are unhoused or at risk and partnership with the Housing Authority has issued 1,000 plus vouchers and 1,00015 households and again, 1,00015 households a third of households have a voucher for families with children and had to focus on serving district 10 for allocation of the community in the bay and three three percent of referrals went there and three 4. Across is shelter system on april 23rd hsh has 3000 plus shelters and 92 occupancy rate and last month the commissioners asked us to talk about the shelters and hsh measures the stacy for response system and the data how many people move out of homeless this is a better measure of impact for the responses oh, overview in 20233,000 plus people moved out of 14er89s fund by hsh this represents an offer one hundred percent since 2019 we were able to look at an existing definition for shelters not the strongest indicator for several reasons that under reports and for some people have multiplegenerational shelter stays this is reported as multiple negative access for when the person has a exit in the process it not limited people come back a few times. As part of the the holdings shelters accountable that is essential to our work and to the functionality we have to recognize the shelters do many important things for the guests. And this includes a safe place for people to get off the street and begin the healing process, connecting people in income and much more and in an effort to answer the question from the administration we our current shelter data thirty percent of Emergency Shelters transitional housing and restless statistic for hsh, rapid rehousing has rental units and a pathway to Housing Solutions within the homeless response and 17 percent problem solving and have access to the Financial Assistance and Case Management to remove this and 41 are not active and two percent are not yet in the system and the remaining 2 percent have issues we have to resolve and part of reports Performance Management were reevaluating the Performance Measures of services across is portfolio to help to guide the improvement work and reporting and shelter data will be included in that process for referrals. I want to say slide 14 which was for the public i know multiple voices . Sorry i didnt notice it got ahead of us. So were move on to lake merced shannon. We condition the process from lake merced to move people out of shelters and to control and we moved 21 households into housing and previously the reporting methods, however, due to variations in information on household member by these have transition to reporting outcomes by totals households instead and anticipate changing the parking but hosting the final service in the area prior to the change in regulation. This will better help us to connect with people who didnt connect earlier. Hsh continues to see improvements with waiting lists the total number of people have not diminished but the people on the list shapiro are dropping to keep the beds list updated. And then the Mission Cabin launched on april 15th only monday San Francisco hot team has been preparing and recruiting in the mission since january and working closely with the community on our booichd list to make sure that people are homeless had first dibs for the Mission Cabin and agreed by the neighbors of the city recruiting people homeless in the brackets and the Elementary Schools worked with the Elementary Schools. And since launch on april 15th, the Homeless Team has been getting people in cabins and several of the clients are on the Public Health and hsh means they are are incredibly vulnerable and a Case Management has been trying to get them services. Years and clients on the shared priority list have Mental Health challenges we are delighted that so many people agreed to come inside since the the operating contract were approved by the commission at the february 15th meeting and the total construction capital across projects was approximately, 6. 7 million and the press has reported three 1 percent cabin but the budget paid for guess construction of cabin but the memorable and electrical system by permitting the Architectural Design system for the projects this aspect was managed by the department of Public Health that issued a bid and selected the lowest responsible and responsive bidder the operating costs are approximately
