This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.

This book was released on 2017-08-20 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is pleased totransmit to the U.S. Congress this 2017 report on Worst Case Housing Needs.This report-the 16th in a longstanding series-provides national data andanalysis of the critical problems facing low-income renting families. The reportdraws on data from the American Housing Survey (AHS), which is funded by HUDand conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. The AHS has been conducted every2 years since 1973 and debuted a major redesign in 2015 that included a newnational and metropolitan area longitudinal sample. The AHS is a key source ofnational data on housing markets, conditions, and dynamics.Despite continued signs of a strengthening national economy, the report findsthat severe housing problems are on the rise. In 2015, 8.30 million householdshad worst case needs, up from 7.72 million in 2013 and approaching the recordhigh of 8.48 million in 2011. These households are defined as very low-incomerenters who do not receive government housing assistance and who paid morethan one-half of their income for rent, lived in severely inadequate conditions,or both. High rents in proportion to renter incomes remain dominant amonghouseholds with worst case needs, leaving these renters with substantial, unmetneed for affordable housing.The modest reduction in worst case needs observed in 2013 was not sustainedand worst case needs continued their upward trend. Specifically, severe housingproblems have grown 41 percent since the beginning of the Great Recessionin 2007 and 66 percent since 2001. Worst case needs continue to affect allsubgroups, whether defined by race and ethnicity, household structure, or locationwithin metropolitan areas or regions.Contributing most to the increase in worst case needs between 2013 and 2015was a notable shift from homeownership to renting. The magnitude of thissustained postrecession trend, along with other demographic factors, increasedthe number of very low-income renters and thereby played a major role in growingworst case needs between 2013 and 2015. Modest gains in household incomeswere met with rising rents, shrinking the supply of affordable rental housing stockin an increasingly competitive market. Even with the supply of more expensive unitsgrowing, higher-income renters occupy a growing share-43 percent-of the mostaffordable units. Only 62 affordable units are available per 100 very low-incomerenters, and only 38 units are available per 100 extremely low-income renters.This report also uses new AHS enhancements to explore the variation in worstcase needs and the distribution of housing assistance across a greater variety ofmarket geographies. These data show that, although 43.2 percent of very lowincomerenters had worst case needs nationally, local markets reflect a substantialdegree of variation beyond the longstanding trends observed across regions andtypes of metropolitan locations
Download or read book Runaway and Homeless Youth written by Josiah Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no single definition of the term "runaway youth" or "homeless youth". However, both groups of youth share the risk of not having adequate shelter and other provisions, and may engage in harmful behaviours while away from a permanent home. The precise number of homeless and runaway youth is unknown due to their residential mobility and overlap among the populations. Determining the number of these youth is further complicated by the lack of a standardised methodology for counting the population and inconsistent definitions of what it means to be homeless or a runaway. Estimates of the homeless youth exceed one million. Thus homelessness among adolescents and young adults is a major social concern in the United States. In this book, the authors cite research indicating that youth may be the single age group most at risk of becoming homeless, yet comparatively little research has been done in the past decade on this vulnerable population. After reviewing the characteristics of homeless youth, the authors review recent research findings on the homeless youth population and interventions developed to address their housing and service needs. These include interventions directed at youth themselves (education, employment, social skills training) as well as family-focused strategies. The authors conclude with future directions for both research and practice. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) distributes four homeless assistance grants, each of which provides funds to local communities so that they can finance a range of housing and supportive services options for the homeless. These four grants -- the Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program, the Supportive Housing Program (SHP), the Shelter Plus Care (S+C) program, and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation for Single Room Occupancy Dwellings (SRO) program -- are authorized in the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (P.L. 100-77, as amended). Congress appropriates one lump sum for all four grants, and HUD then determines how the funds are allocated among the four programs. HUD distributes the four homeless assistance grants annually to eligible applicants, which include states, metropolitan areas, counties, nonprofit organizations, and public housing authorities. Funds for the ESG program are used primarily for the short-term needs of the homeless, such as emergency shelter, while the SHP, S+C, and SRO programs address longer-term transitional and permanent housing needs. HUD uses one method to distribute funds for the ESG program and another method to distribute funds for the SHP, S+C, and SRO programs. The ESG program distributes funds to states, counties, and metropolitan areas using the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program formula. States and communities receive the same proportion of ESG funds that they received in CDBG funds the previous fiscal year. However, if a community is projected to receive less than .05% of the total amount of ESG funds, its share goes to the state. After they receive funds, states and communities then distribute them to homeless service providers, including nonprofit organizations and local government entities. The SHP, S+C, and SRO grants are distributed through a competitive process called the Continuum of Care (CoC) application system (these three grants are sometimes referred to as the "competitive grants"). Through the CoC process, representatives from local community organizations work collaboratively to develop a plan for addressing homelessness in their area. They then determine which homeless services providers in the community should receive funding from the three competitive grants and submit a unified application to HUD. HUD then uses a multistep process to determine which homeless services providers should receive funding. This involves both a formula aspect, through which HUD determines community need using the CDBG formula, and a competitive aspect, through which HUD assigns points for various elements included in the CoC application. Proposed projects that receive a certain threshold number of points are funded. Recently, both Congress and the Administration have discussed policy changes that could affect how the homeless assistance grants are distributed. These include HUD-proposed changes to the CDBG formula and two bills in the 109th Congress (S. 1801 and H.R. 5041) that would have consolidated the three competitive homeless assistance grants and refined the CoC application system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If health policy truly seeks to improve population health and reduce health disparities, addressing homelessness must be a priority Homelessness is a public health problem. Nearly a decade after the great recession of 2008, homelessness rates are once again rising across the United States, with the number of persons experiencing homelessness surpassing the number of individuals suffering from opioid use disorders annually. Homelessness presents serious adverse consequences for physical and mental health, and ultimately worsens health disparities for already at-risk low-income and minority populations. While some state-level policies have been implemented to address homelessness, these services are often not designed to target chronic homelessness and subsequently fail in policy implementation by engendering barriers to local homeless policy solutions. In the face of this crisis, Ungoverned and Out of Sight seeks to understand the political processes influencing adoption of best-practice solutions to reduce chronic homelessness in US municipalities. Drawing on unique research from three exemplar municipal case studies in San Francisco, CA, Atlanta, GA, and Shreveport, LA, this volume explores conflicting policy solutions in the highly decentralized homeless policy space and provides recommendations to improve homeless governance systems and deliver policies that will successfully diminish chronic homelessness. Until issues of authority and fragmentation across competing or misaligned policy spaces are addressed through improved coordination and oversight, local and national policies intended to reduce homelessness may not succeed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges facing military veterans who return to civilian life in the United States are persistent and well documented. But for all the political outcry and attempts to improve military members' readjustments, veterans of all service eras face formidable obstacles related to mental health, substance abuse, employment, and — most damningly — homelessness. Homelessness Among U.S. Veterans synthesizes the new glut of research on veteran homelessness — geographic trends, root causes, effective and ineffective interventions to mitigate it — in a format that provides a needed reference as this public health fight continues to be fought. Codifying the data and research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) campaign to end veteran homelessness, psychologist Jack Tsai links disparate lines of research to produce an advanced and elegant resource on a defining social issue of our time.
