ANALYSIS of 2009
1. Significant drop in importance (2008 18)
2. Not about adding PSH; amount of local financial
leverage for NEW permanent housing bonus.
Dallas requires 200% leverage
Our CoC Application 2009: 73%
The BIG Picture
BIGGEST CHALLENGES
1. Evaluating progress and performance BEFORE
the year is over by case managers, program
directors and Executive Directors
The CoC needs real-time, accurate, analyzable,
accessible data and reporting at all levels of CoC
implementation, management and evaluation
The BIG Picture
BIGGEST CHALLENGES
2. Preparing for HEARTH and the new goal:
Ending homelessness in 30 days (20 if you
want to be high performing)
The CoC needs real-time, centralized, rapid intake
and assessment and immediate referral systems in
place for new homeless
The BIG Picture
BIGGEST CHALLENGES
3. Planning, coordinating and responding to needs
cannot just mean more and more meetings…the
CoC System most adapt smoothly with
comprehensive CoC-wide input and agreement
(RH and LH….)
The CoC needs expedited identification of gaps in
services or procedures and swift implementation of
solutions that are consistent across key subject/target
areas: e.g. VETS, SMI, ES, TH families, MHMR, Women
The BIG Picture
BIGGEST CHALLENGES
4. The CoC should examine who does what best
and define some shared roles and some distinct
roles in service and housing.
Top level CoC management needs to share and
understand strategic directions of other CoC providers
to assure non-duplication, opportunities for MOU, and
their strategic fit with HEARTH Act and HUD CoC
funding and policy changes
Painting that
BIG Picture…
