CONTRACT PERIOD February 24, 2015 through June 30, 2015 $785,725.00
AND AMOUNTS: July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 $871,893.00

SUMMARY OF SERVICES:
Fresno Housing Authority shall provide a California Work Opportunity and Responsibility
to Kids (CalWORKs) Housing Support Program (HSP) which will include activities
designed to rapidly re-house families referred for services who are experiencing
homelessness. Rapid re-housing is a strategy that has proven effective in ending
homelessness for many and includes services designed to help those who are
experiencing homelessness to be quickly re-housed and stabilized. Services will include
case management, financial assistance and housing and relocation services.
Fresno 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:
Fresno 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, Fresno Housing Authority shall review the referral, conduct an
intake assessment, and provide services accordingly.
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. Fresno 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 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 plan 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,
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 – i.e. 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 tenant/landlord
responsibilities.
2. Financial Assistance: Provide financial assistance including, but not limited to the following: • Rental Assistance
o Full Monthly Rental Subsidy
o Partial Rental Assistance
• Security Deposits

3. Housing and Relocation Services: Provide services including, but not limited to the following:

4. Homeless Management Information System (HMIS): • Each participant will be entered into HMIS at program entry, for each contact and at program exit, as mandated by HUD.
• The Fresno Housing Authority will oversee the coordination of technical and support services to verify the HMIS program performance and insure that all participants are entered into HMIS. Housing Authority will provide reports as requested by County.
