7 Background Department of Justice (DOJ) received $5 million FY14 and $5 million FY15 funds for Pay for Success programs implementing Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). DOJ and HUD entered into an interagency agreement that designates HUD as the agency responsible for implementing the PFS Demonstration. The PFS Demonstration implements the PSH model for a population continuously cycling between the criminal justice system and homeless services. 7

8 Background Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, released in 2010 by the Obama Administration, established goals for ending homelessness. On a single night in January 2014, there were still over 80,000 people identified as chronically homeless in the United States. A lack of resources has forced the Obama Administration to push back the Opening Doors goal of ending chronic homelessness to Increasing the availability of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is critical to meeting that goal as well as contributing to Continuum of Care efforts to address homelessness. 8

9 Quotes DOJ and HUD Having the opportunity to find a job and a place to call home is a core value in our society. Unfortunately, too often individuals that committed minor crimes are falling into homelessness because they don t have the opportunity for a second chance. These grants will allow us to develop model of success that can help us stop the cycle of dependency and reduce the costs associated with recidivism and homelessness. - HUD Secretary Julián Castro The Department of Justice is committed to giving formerlyincarcerated individuals the tools they need to become productive members of society. Providing meaningful support through housing opportunities, prevention programs and other critical services is vital to our ongoing efforts to reduce recidivism, promote public safety, and foster positive results in communities across the country. - Attorney General Loretta Lynch 9

10 PFS Demonstration Objectives Pilot test PFS financing approach to fund a PSH Intervention. Create an opportunity for communities to increase the availability of PSH for the target population. Determine whether PSH provided for the target population will reduce recidivism and chronic homelessness. Determine extent of taxpayer savings and improved costeffectiveness through reduced spending in homeless services, corrections systems, emergency medical care, etc. Identify lessons learned and best practices on the feasibility of scaling-up and replicating effective PSH and service delivery interventions. 10

11 What is Pay for Success? Public-private arrangement to test or expand innovative programs (intervention) while the government entity pays only for those that achieve agreed-upon target outcomes PFS contracting might require PFS financing, through which social investors provide up-front funding for an evidence-based intervention Well-defined, achievable outcome targets are agreed upon by all stakeholders Achievement of outcomes is verified by an independent evaluator Government entity issues Success Payments to social investors, dependent, in whole or in part, on the achievement of the outcome targets 11

12 Key Roles & Partnerships 12

13 Why Does PFS Financing Matter? Limited resources and growing need PFS offers a solution for financing additional PSH, an evidencebased practice shown to reduce the public costs of shelter, corrections, and health care. Leverage private sector investors to scale effective interventions Philanthropic and other private organizations provide the up-front capital for the PSH Intervention that, when successful, achieves measurable outcomes that improve lives and reduce future needs. 13

14 Why Does PFS Financing Matter? Achieve better outcomes for Federal, State and local governments in the area of preventing and ending homelessness PFS emphasizes evidence-based approach to addressing homelessness provided by innovative, data-driven service providers. Minimizes risk to the government and maximizes return on taxpayer dollars - The government pays only for demonstrated results; social investors bear the primary financial risk until outcomes are achieved. 14
