WestCare will provide temporary, medium-term financial assistance (typically 3 to 18 months), combined with housing location and case management services, to help homeless individuals and families obtain permanent housing and achieve long-term stability. Rapid Rehousing services provided shall follow both project-based and tenant-based models. • Project-based assistance will be provided at a site located at 2550 W. Clinton Ave., Fresno, CA. • Tenant-based assistance will be provided to participants throughout the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) service area, in metro and rural Fresno and Madera counties. TARGET POPULATION The target populations of Rapid Rehousing services are individuals or families that are experiencing homelessness in Fresno and Madera Counties, with particular focus on Madera (City and County) and City of Selma regions for tenant-based assistance. A minimum of $62,185 of Direct Financial Assistance must be expended on youth that have entered the program between the ages of 18 and 24, including individuals and families with a head of household between the ages of 18 and 24. RAPID REHOUSING SERVICES 1. Case Management: Provide intensive case management services that focus on developing a housing plan for all participants, helping them overcome barriers to attaining permanent housing, locating and placing participants into housing, monitoring participant progress, and intervening with relevant support, if necessary to ensure participant stability. Two case managers will provide services at the 2550 W. Clinton Ave. site, or other identified access sites in Fresno and Madera counties. Case management services will be provided in a phased approach, in order to ensure that participants have been sustainably stabilized: Exhibit A Page 2 of 3 a. Active Case Management (ACM): ACM will be used when a participant first enters the program, until the point that the case manager believes that their housing situation has been reasonably stabilized. ACM entails regular contact, from twice weekly to sometimes daily; sustained effort to stabilize the participant’s housing situation; and active pursuit of additional community resources for the participant’s benefit. b. Passive Case Management (PCM): Once a participant has been adequately stabilized, they may be phased to PCM. PCM entails the case manager contacting the client in person, or by other means as necessary, a minimum of every two weeks in order to monitor the participant’s housing stability. During this phase of service, the participant may continue to contact the Rapid Rehousing program at any time should they require assistance. Note: Participants may be transferred from PCM to ACM whenever necessary, as determined by either case managers or the Program Director. 2. Direct Financial Assistance: Provide direct financial assistance to remove immediate barriers to housing, including rental assistance of up to 24 months, utility payments, security and utility deposits, moving costs, transportation costs, landlord fees and background check fees, job certification and license fees, work supply costs, and interpreter services. Whenever appropriate, WestCare will work with clients to ensure that clients pay a share of cost toward rental assistance, beginning with the first month of assistance. WestCare shall develop a share of cost schedule, and ensure that client subsidies adhere to the schedule based on individual needs. SUBRECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITIES • Maintain membership in good standing in the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) as defined by FMCoC bylaws, and participate in the Coordinated Entry System (CES). • Accept referrals only through the FMCoC CES. • In the event the number of referrals exceeds the number of available housing placements, WestCare will prioritize referrals using the following criteria: Vulnerability Index – Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool score, length of homelessness, medical conditions, and any other relevant factors. • Enter participant information into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) in compliance with HEAP and HUD data collection, management, and reporting standards. • Ensure that all units at the 2550 W. Clinton Ave. site are occupied within 3 months of contract execution, and ensure that no unit is subsequently unoccupied for a period of more than 60 consecutive days. In the event that a unit is unoccupied for greater than 60 days, the unit may not be billed to this agreement. Exceptions may be made with written approval from the County. • Ensure that a minimum of $62,185 of Direct Financial Assistance is expended on youth that have entered the program between the ages of 18 and 24, including individuals and families with a head of household between the ages of 18 and 24. • Meet with County staff monthly, or as often as needed, for service coordination, problem/issue resolution, information sharing, training, review, and monitoring of services. Exhibit A Page 3 of 3 • Engage clients in a linguistically and culturally-appropriate manner, including the use of interpreters when needed. • Provide annual Civil Rights training to staff at the beginning of every calendar year, and provide relevant verification to the County of Fresno by April 1.
