Fikes, 245-2490 PURPOSE: To consider acceptance of the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County. BACKGROUND: In March 2005, the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness (Partnership) was formed to institute a countywide effort that will culminate in the development and implementation of a Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County. Membership included Orange County; the Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough; Triangle United Way, Orange Congregations in Mission; the Inter-Faith Council; OPC Area Program; the Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce; and UNC. ' In October 2005, Orange County on behalf of the Partnership entered into a consultant agreement with J-Quad and Associates, PLC to develop a Ten (10) Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County. Since that time, the Partnership Steering Committee led by County Commissioner Moses Carey, Jr. and Carrboro businessman Nathan Milian, the Partnership Working Group, community focus groups, and graduate students from the .UNC School of Public Health have worked with J-Quad to develop the County's 10 Year Plan that was formally approved at the Partnership's March 14, 2007 meeting. The main focus of the Plan is to end chronic homelessness, without excluding the needs of all homeless individuals and families. To that end, the Plan contains five goals towards the elimination of homelessness in Orange County. Goal 1: Reduce Chronic Homelessness Goal 2: Increase Employment Goal 3: Prevent Homelessness Goal 4: Increase Access to Services Goal 5: Increase Public Participation in Ending Homelessness The Executive Summary of the Plan is included with this abstract that provides more detailed information regarding these goals. The full plan will be available under separate cover. At this time, the original Partnership members are being asked to accept the final Plan as an initial step toward implementation of the goals contained therein. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Acceptance of this Plan does not have any direct financial implications. However, it should be noted that additional resources will be necessary to fully implement the strategies contained in the Plan. 2 RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness in Orange County and direct staff to present information regarding future critical decision points during the implementation stage of the Plan. 0 r f 1 i 1 P V.. d T r ' I =i k' ~~ ~' R'~ ~j R a, ~~ ~`~ ~- _ Taws, '"~ ~ of ills ~ ~. ~~ ow. rrH 'tYta~gte UniEed Way t~ i i u ~~ pp i ~~ ~ J~J ~~ .~~ ~~~J ~.~ i March 28, 2007 ,, --_ W__ I ,r~'q~~~'~~'- tlrange County °~ { f~' ~`- Partnership: o End Homelessness< '' PLO.

Its origins lay rn the ;Bush administration's initiative to encourage a nationwide fo- r cus on chronic homelessness. and the development of community plans to end chronic homelessness within 10 years. The Orange County Partnership to Entl Homelessness was'formed to meet that challenge through the combined efforts of Orange County; the Towns of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro; the.Triangle + United Way; Orange Congregations in Mission; '::Inter-Faith' Council for Social Ser- e. vices; OPC Area Program; the Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce; and the Uni- versi~y of North Carolina -Chapel Hill. We would like to take this opportuniry to ~~~~ ~ thank the members of the community who have giventheir time to participafe in the process. i '' The process began .with a November 2004 Roundtable Discussion to bring the I issue of homelessness to the attention of the public. Orange and Durham Coun- ties held a joint press conference to announce the development of 10-year Plans to End Homelessness. in February 2005, at which Philip::, Mangano, Executive Qi- rector of the US Interagency Council on .Homelessness spoke about the impor- t' l tance of community-based efforts to address homelessness. A second Rountable Discussion on Homelessness was. held in April !2005, vhich featured breakout group discussions on community ownership of homelessness, preventing home- ' ~ lessness, and moving from homelessness to self-sufficiency. A' consultant was i hired to help wrth the development of the 10-year plan ih September 2005 and a Steering Commrttee;of over 60 people was formed. Eighteen focus group ses- j 3 sions were held throughout the County in February 2006;-.and intensive interviews along with a Community Forum conducted by a group of graduate students from UNC's School of Pu61ic Health were conducted in April 2006. Over the Summer of. E 2006, a series of subcommittees of the Steering Committee worked to develop he t set of recommendations'' that are contained in this document. A wide. range of community and busrress leaders; social service,agencies, County and Town staff, ~ local congregatrons;''citizens, and homeless individuals have participated in and j,. "~ contributed to this effort.' 5 \~` ?'~ The main:~ocus of the Plan is to end chronic homelessness, without excluding the needs of all homeless individuals' and families. The focus on chronic homelessness stemmed frem .the acknowledgement of Steering Committee members that chronic ~ homelessness .has the greatest impact'on the community, both in terms of its fiscal ~ costs and. its visibility on the streets. While ending chronic homelessness is the focus 9 of the plan, it should be emphasized that other sub-groups of homeless. persons will not be :ignored: This: plan presents additional recommendations that look to serve the i needs of all homeless families and individuals and work to prevent. homelessness, shorten episodes of hamelessness, antl,rapidly re-house those who experience events ' that lead to homelessness. ' As Ce-Chairs of the Steering Cammittee we wish to thankthe members of the Commit- tee-who have givenso freely of their time, the Working Group of County and Town staff ', o and representatives of agencies involved in homeless services who have led this pro- j ject, hose citizens of Orange County who have participated in the public meetings, and the sponsors of the Parfriership. As the leaders of our community, we hope that you will take this opportunity to review he results of this effort, adopt the plan for your juris- diction, an~d,support the work of the Steering Committee in the coming. years to guaran- , tee the successful' implementation of the; plan.

The survey was conducted in 80 counties across the state and the resulting count for that one specific night was 11,165 individuals experiencing homelessness with 3,523 of them being children. This was an increase from the December 2003 count of 9,867 individuals, including 1,287 children. The 2005 point-in-time count, required by HUD for the State Contin- uum of Care, showed that in North Carolina 1,389 individuals were identified as ex- periencing chronic homelessness. Nearly 13 percent of people identified as home- less in North Carolina were considered to be chronically homeless and chronic homelessness affected 1.63 persons per 10,000 residents. Orange County reflects the complex characteristics and special needs of all home- less people throughout the state. According to the County's 2006 Continuum of Care, 237 individuals were identified as experiencing homelessness. Thirty-nine of those individuals were chronically homeless. In the 2007 point-in-time survey, 224 people were identified as experiencing homelessness in Orange County. Seventy- one of those persons were chronically homeless. Some homeless people require limited assistance in order to regain permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Oth- ers, especially people with physical or mental disabilities, require extensive and long-term support. Homelessness is a complicated problem rising from the changing social, economic, political, and cultural conditions of the past 25 years. This plan makes systemic changes to and integrates the homeless services system in order to end chronic homelessness in Orange County and raises awareness of issues related to home- lessness among all residents. easoos fior conic o eiossness Lack of Affordable Housing- Most homeless persons do not earn enough to cover their basic needs, such as food and clothing, while others have very-low incomes, just enough to sustain themselves. Paying a mortgage or market rate rent would be impossible in their economic condition. In Orange County, an annual income of $31,400 is needed to afford atwo-bedroom apartment, and minimum wage employ- ees are required to work 117 hours per week to afford the same Fair Market Rate unit. _...,.- _......_ _ ..... _ . ,n,.„__,..,._ _. _ , Insufficient Income- The most significant factor facing households when consider- viii~i ing housing affordability and availability is income. The median household income (MHI) for residents of Orange County, as reported in the US Department of Hous- ~, . ing and Urban Development for 2006 was $61,700. Inadequate Services- Chronic homeless people often have to deal with physical or mental disabilities, physical or mental illness, alcohol and drug abuse, or domestic violence. According to the 2000 Census, over 6,412 persons (5.42%) in Orange County had a physical disability, 5,221 (4.42%) had a work disability, 3,883 (3.28%) `t had a mental disability, 2,588 (2.19%) had a sensory disability, and 1,876 (1.59%) ` had aself--care disability. There were nearly 24,630 (20.83%) disabled people in the county in 2000. Inadequate Discharge Planning- When people are released from public institu- tions or public systems of care without adequate discharge planning, they are. more likely to become homeless. The populations included in this category would be peo- ple discharged out of correctional institutions, hospitals, and mental health institu- tions and children aging out of foster care. host ®f Chronic amelessaess According to the results of research conducted by the Center for Mental Health Pol- icy and Services Research at University of Pennsylvania in 2001, the service re- ductions resulting from supportive housing were reported to save the public $12,145 annually for each individual placed. About 95 percent of the cost reduc- tions are associated with reductions in healthcare and shelter services. Based on estimates from examples across the country, Orange County spends up to $1,600,000 per year on the chronic homeless population and could save up to $860,000 per year through the implementation of the plan. Plaoin as nai~sis of Locai aioss er~ieas The lead organization for the Orange County Continuum of Care is the Orange- Person-Chatham (OPC) Area Authority. The Partnership to End Homelessness Steering Committee, a large group comprised of civic leaders, stakeholders, and policymakers throughout the community, was created to guide the 10-year planning process. The Partnership to End Homelessness Working Group, a collection of town, county, and social service agency staff, is involved with the daily activities of the 10-Year planning process and provides recommendations and updates to the Steering Committee. "Monthly . Supplemental Securiiy Income (SSl) payments for individuals are $603 in North Carolina. if SS/ represents an individuals sole source of income, $181 in monthly rent is affordable, while the FMR for a one-bedroom is $573." - National Low-Income Housing Coalition An inventory of homeless service organizations in Orange County is provided in Section 2 of the Plan. As reported in the 2006 Continuum of Care, there were 64 individual beds in emergency shelters, 24 individual beds in transitional housing, and 90 beds in permanent supportive housing, including those for those experienc- ing chronic homelessness in Orange County. There was an unmet need of 161 r individual beds and 39 beds for those experiencing chronic homelessness in 2006. ~:".. 1~ __ _ _~ ix ~~ Ten-Year Ian tco s Goals and Strategies for the Orange County 10-Year Plan were generated through the efforts ' of subcommittees formed from the Steering Committee of the Orange County Partnership to ~' `~ End Homelessness and participants from the Community Forum. They were designed to pro- 0 vide a comprehensive push to end chronic homelessness in Orange County, while maintain- ~~ ing a strong focus on serving the needs of non-chronic homeless families and individuals. See Section 3.1 starting on page 37 fora complete list of tactics that accompany these stra~e- gies.

Start Time Frame refers to strategies to be addressed starting in Year 1, Years 2 through 4, Years 5 through 7, or Years 8 through 10, though a strategy begun in Year 1 may be pursued through all 10 years of the plan. Estimated costs are less than $10,000 for Low, $10,000 to $50,000 for `~ 1 Medium, and more than $50,000 for High. Natural Partners are those organizations and agencies seen as having a direct organizational interest in pursuing that par- ~ ticular strategy. The section also contains guidelines for plan implementation, the structure of an Executive Committee to oversee the process, and staff to manage it. Housing First Best Practice Example -Denver, Colorado The following best practice example is one of several offered in Appendix D. '; The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) created 100 units for chronically homeless individuals through the Denver Housing First Collaborative (DREG) in ~ 2003 with funding provided by a collaboration of federal agencies. The DHFC in- volved CCH as the lead agency, the Denver Department of Human Services (DDHS), Denver Health (DHHA), Arapahoe House, the Mental Health Center of Denver (MHCD), and the Denver VA Medical Center. The housing first approach has been incorporated as a priority strategy into Denver's Road Home -Denver's Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness. Funding was provided for a second housing first team at CCH (16th Street Housing First Program) to serve 50 additional chroni- cally homeless individuals. A cost-benefit study published by the Denver Housing First Coalition in December, 2006 examined health and emergency service records of a sample of participants of the DHFC for the 24 month period prior to entering the program and the 24 month period after entering the program. The total sample size for the study was 19 individuals, .based on their enrollment time in the program (24 months of enroll- meet) and a willingness to release their medical information. For the sample, the total emergency related costs for the sample group declined by 72.95 percent, or nearly $600,000, in the 24 months of participation in the DHFC program compared with the 24 months prior to entry in the program. The total emergency cost savings ~ averaged $31,545 per participant. Specific results included reductions in detox vis- j its by 82 percent, reduced incarceration days and costs of about 76 percent, and an I overall reduction of inpatient medical costs of 66 percent. The study found the only ! cost increase was in outpatient care, as "participants were directed to more appro- i' priate and cost effective services..."
