Code 7000.120 (GOMB Adoption of Supplemental Rules for Grant Payment Methods) and the and the Cash Management Improvement Act and the Treasury-State Agreement (TSA) default procedures codified at 31 CFR 205.

The successful provision of services to participants will require the entity to understand and embrace the overriding principles of PSH. PSH follows the Housing First approach. Housing First means housing is not contingent on certain conditions, or the completion of certain programs, and supportive services are available but not required for obtaining or maintaining housing. Housing and services for treatment and recovery needs are separate and participating in recovery services is not an expectation of housing. Any services offered to support recovery are made available to the tenant but are not a requirement of continued tenancy.

Yes

Eligible applicants for this PSH program will be individuals with SUD or COD who are at any stage of their recovery. It could include an individual who is in the early stages of recovery or an individual who is leaving a recovery home and sees this as the next step in their recovery. Priority populations for this PSH program include women, women with children or young adults. Participants must also be of low income with preferences for those who have an income that is at or below 30% of area median income. PSH tenants may live in their homes as long as they meet the basic obligations of tenancy. Tenants have a lease in their own name, and, therefore, they have full rights and responsibilities of tenancy under local landlord-tenant law and cannot lose their home unless they violate their lease agreement. The entity provides a rental subsidy to the tenant and landlord. Services made available will vary in scope, intensity and type depending on the specific program requirements related to eligibility, and the participant's particular service needs. The following principles also apply to supportive housing: •Participation in services is voluntary and tenants cannot be evicted for rejecting services. •Housing is not time limited. •Prospective tenants have choice in housing. Before moving into PSH, tenants are asked about their housing preferences. •Housing is affordable, with tenants paying no more than 30 percent of their gross income toward rent and utilities. Entities support the tenant in the home by subsidizing the rent through a housing voucher or rental subsidy. •Tenants have choices in the support services that they receive. They are asked about their choices and may choose from a range of services. Different tenants receive different types of services based on their individual needs and preferences. •As needs change over time, tenants can receive more intensive or less intensive support services without losing their housing. The grantee(s) will be required to plan and deliver an array of supportive services for clients. Services are divided into three phases: Pre-tenancy Services are provided to an applicant's household before moving into a housing unit, which may include, but are not limited to: Initial assessments and goal setting and support in accessing housing (including assistance with applications), including an evaluation of the amount of rental subsidy and individual will need. The initial assessment will also include an appraisal of an individual's credit history with utility companies and plan will be developed with the tenant for the organization to pay any accounts in arrears. Move-in Services that are provided to a participant's household after they have chosen and been accepted into a housing unit. These services may include but are not limited to arranging for payment of rental and utility deposit, obtaining essential items for establishing a home and moving the household into their unit. Ongoing tenancy Services that are provided after a participant's household has moved into a rental unit. Specific supportive services will depend on individual tenant needs, but the types of services that will be available will include: crisis prevention and intervention, personal skills training for a variety of needs including housekeeping, cooking and social network building as well as direct assistance with these activities until the skills are learned, transportation and transportation training, budgeting assistance, linkage to mental health, substance use, and gambling treatment and medical care, linkages to education and employment and other community supports as well as interceding with property management in any tenant based issues. Assessment and planning shall be ongoing to assure responsiveness to the changing needs of participants. A tenancy plan will be developed for each household that reflects current needs and anticipated future needs. The plan shall be used as a guideline and shall be updated as household needs change. The overall goal of the services is to facilitate the participant's stable long-term tenancy by providing access and support to needed services. Although skill development in the use of available transportation will be considered part of the service delivery, to adequately provide supportive services at all stages of participant skill development, the organization shall transport or have access to transportation for participants.
