Title
Presentation: Technical Assistance Award to Assist in Expansion of Supportive Housing for Justice-Involved People who are Homeless
Staff Summary
• Lake County has been selected for technical assistance (TA) from the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) - national non-profit supportive housing experts. This TA will help Community Development work on structuring potential “Pay for Success” performance-based contracts to increase the supply of permanent supportive housing (PSH) for the homeless and/or housing unstable clients or potential clients (through diversion) of the jail with disability (e.g. serious mental illness and/or substance abuse disorder) in need of supportive care in a home-based setting.
• This technical assistance is valued at $75,000 which will be matched by Community Development staff time. The TA will be focused on service providers interested in providing in-home support and services to this population. The TA will help existing providers of in-home support on a scattered site basis to increase scale and potential new providers of in-home support (Nicasa) to assess the extent to which in-home services are a good fit with its business strategy.
