(SDHC) Contract for the Fiscal Year 2019 PATH Rapid Rehousing Programs Presentation to the SDHC Board of Commissioners September 13, 2018 Jeff Davis Executive Vice President & Chief of Staff Lisa Jones Senior Vice President Homeless Housing Innovations
Introduction People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) operates multiple homeless services programs within the City and County of San Diego, including Interim Shelter, Rapid Rehousing, case management and outreach programs, and services through PATH Connections Depot at Connections Housing Downtown. SDHC is requesting approval to sole-source the identified funds to PATH to operate Rapid Rehousing programs. PATH was one of only two providers originally awarded federal Emergency Solutions Grant funding for Rapid Rehousing. PATH has been operating their Rapid Rehousing program with ESG funds since 2014. In Fiscal Year 2018, PATH exceeded their goal for housing persons experiencing homelessness and has shown consistent focus on providing compassionate and quality services to the clients they serve. Slide #2
Overview With the combined total funding of $456,749 PATH will be able to permanently house 58 households with their Rapid Rehousing Programs in FY 2019. The $50,000 of Emergency Solutions Grant and $198,736 of Continuum of Care funds were previously approved in the FY 2019 budget and are available because the previous provider surrendered their participation in Rapid Rehousing. The $19,013 from the City of San Diego s Affordable Housing Fund was approved for Rapid Rehousing activities in the FY 2019 budget and is being allocated to PATH for that purpose. Funding will support a full-time Housing Specialist to assist participants to access housing opportunities. Slide #3
