The Housing Authority,as the operator of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandated Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)for Fresno and Madera Counties,will provide HMIS services to collect CalWORKs HSP data.The HMIS program is used for the collection of unduplicated data on services provided to individuals and families. TARGET POPULATION: This program will provide services to households with children residing in Fresno County who are receiving CalWORKs and seeking homeless assistance. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES: The Housing Authority shall provide a CalWORKs Housing Support Program offering services listed in this exhibit to clients referred and accepted to the program.When a referral is received,the Housing Authority shall review the referral,conduct an intake assessment,and provide services accordingly. -------------------------------------------- Exhibit A-1 Page 2 of 3 All families assisted through this program will be administered a Family Vulnerability Index and Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (F-VI-SPDAT)prior to service commencement.Additionally,each assisted family will utilize the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care's Coordinated Assessment Housing Match system which will standardize the access and assessment process for coordinating referrals and providing assistance. The Housing Authority shall provide the following services: 1.Case Management Services:This project will employ a case manager whose primary responsibilities will be: •Development of an Individual Service Plan; •Assistance in finding and maintaining housing; •Coordination of services with relevant providers;and •Provision of supports necessary to foster self-sufficiency. Project participants will be required to meet with a case manager at least monthly while being provided financial assistance.Additional supports for participants will come from community partners within the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC),Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)partners and Fresno County school districts including Fresno Unified School District. The Individual Service Plan will be primarily developed by the information gathered from the F-VI-SPDAT;however,additional measures may be used. Case management is meant to quickly foster self-sufficiency such that homelessness does not reoccur.As such,primary reasons for homelessness will be discussed and plans for resolution made.Case notes will be updated monthly with progress and/or barriers noted.Reassessment of need for housing support will occur every six months.Participants will be referred to relevant and appropriate community partners based on both F-VI-SPDAT information and subsequent needs/desires of the family. As a tenant based rental assistance program,households will exercise choice in housing location throughout the City and County of Fresno.Housing choice is a better predicator of housing stability and retention as families will take advantage of natural support amenities -e.g.educational opportunities for themselves and their children.Project participants will be assigned a Housing Navigator who will assist in housing search most suitable to the needs and desires of the family. The Housing Navigator will also advocate on the family's behalf with property managers/landlords,and assist with understanding of lease and tenanUlandlord responsibilities.
