Emergency Housing Vouchers- Referral process for subpopulations: Chronically Homeless, Survivors of DV, formerly homeless families participating in RRH project and are at risk of homelessness
Subpopulation: Chronically Homeless
Ben Leroi asked how CE manages CH referrals now
Araceli Rivera reports that Coordinated Entry System (CES) does sometimes complete Chronic Homelessness (CH) verifications but cannot do all of them for this program. She stated there should be a training for providers to do it. Araceli also asked if the CES By Names List (BNL) will be used to refer to individuals.
Staff notes that normally for chronically homeless units, CES refers the most vulnerable client which this program does not require. Staff also notes that there is a chronically homeless documentation.
Tom Schwedhelm asks if there is a group that can mirror “Rock Sonoma County” which is a body that referred clients to the Santa Rosa housing Authority. He wanted to know if there was a body that does that now with CH.
Staff mentioned that there is a biweekly CH case conferencing meeting that could help with CH documentation and could possibly be a referral source.
Robin Phoenix mentions that COTS has developed their own BNL
Laurie Mitchell states that existing groups should be used for referral process.
Margaret Sluyk mentions that there are several BNL in Sonoma County and suggests including all of them so that all are included.
Lisa Fatu thinks that there should be some consideration should be given to all geographic regions of the county included in the referral process.
Asya Sorokurs asks if the CE individuals who are engaged in supportive services.
Jennielynn Holmes thinks that the CE list would be narrowed by filtering for chronically homeless then check to see if the person is engaged with supportive services.
Staff notes that the domestic violence BNL should be incorporated into this list.
Jennielynn Holmes summarizes the committee’s thoughts. The referral process will be a tiered system for referrals: 1st would be the CE list to see who is CH and who is attached to supportive services. 2nd would be to request referrals from other community BNLs additionally these lists would
be expanded to ensure geographic representation from the entire county, 3rd. Outreach teams would refer clients that are CH who they can help get vouchers.
Margaret Sluyk asks how to know who on the CE list is connected to supportive services.
Araceli Rivera states that there is no way to filter for that but that CE could look at case notes for the clients to know or to filter for enrollments by access point providers to remove the CES enrollments.
More discussion about how to make sure there is supportive services for those on the CE waiting list and how to ensure geographic diversity in referrals.
Kathleen Finigan notes that SAVS may be in contact with individuals to locate them for referrals and there should be a plan for locating individuals.
Jennielynn Holmes agrees and says that she thinks there should be very robust case conferencing
More discussion about implementation and coordination between providers.
Public Comment at 1:03 of the recording
Motion for Chronically Homeless subpopulation:
The referrals will be done on a tiered process. 1st referrals would be taken from the CE list. CE will check with providers to make sure individuals are engaged with supportive services. 2nd referrals would come from various community BNLs with inclusion of lists from all parts of the county to ensure geographic equity. 3rd referrals will come from outreach teams in the county who can support clients.
Robin Phoenix motions to approve Ben Leroi seconds
Vote:
Ayes: Jennielynn Holmes, Robin Phoenix, Amy Ramirez, Kathleen Finigan, Asya Sorokurs, Laurie Mitchell (proxy for Jaclyn Ramirez), Lisa Fatu, Marc Krug, Ben Leroi, Margaret Sluyk, Tom Schwedhelm
Nays: none
Subpopulation Domestic Violence
Jessica Provost (YWCA) representative was available to ask questions about accepting referrals and provide information.
Jennielynn Holmes thinks that Verity and WYCA can decide who they would like to refer.
Lista Fatu notes that Verity doesn’t have access to CES so WYCA would have to make the referral on their behalf.
Jessica Provost asks if the voucher can be used to someone who is housed but is at risk.
Cynthia Meiswinkel (Sonoma County Housing Authority representative) confirms that it is ok.
Lisa Fatu motions to have YWCA make referrals for the DV subpopulation, Tom Schwedhelm seconds
Public Comment: None
Vote:
Ayes: Jennielynn Holmes, Robin Phoenix, Amy Ramirez, Kathleen Finigan, Asya Sorokurs, Laurie Mitchell (proxy for Jaclyn Ramirez), Lisa Fatu, Marc Krug, Ben Leroi, Margaret Sluyk, Tom Schwedhelm
Nays: none
Subpopulation: Families who are homeless or unstably housed.
Laurie Mitchel asks for clarification if individuals who are in RRH who are at risk can be referred to this subpopulation.
Michael Gause states that Move-On is only for PSH.
Staff mentions that he thinks the term “move on” was referring to a process of referring someone from one subsidy to another and the EHVs do not follow the Move-on rules so that RRH clients could be referred in the EHV program.
More committee discussion on the possibility of referring unstably housed RRH participants to EHV.
Lisa Fatu mentions to the committee that the reason that some of these vouchers have been designated to RRH families is the extremely short time frame that HUD has placed on use of these vouchers and that played into the decision.
Ben Leroi mentions that the CoC board already voted to direct 20% of the vouchers to at risk RRH families and that this committee only needs to decide on the referral process.
Jennielynn Holmes recommends opening up this subpopulation to all RRH providers and they will have to verify their at-risk status.
Araceli Rivera recommends a tiered process for this subpopulation in which the referrals will first come from CE list and then be opened up to providers.
Public Comment: at 1:35:10 of recording.
Ben Leroi Motions to have a tiered process where the Coordinated Entry list will be used and then when all of those families are served then move to a process of receiving referrals from service providers. Lisa Fatu seconds.
Vote:
• Ayes: Jennielynn Holmes, Robin Phoenix, Lisa Fatu, Ben Leroi, Margaret Sluyk Amy Ramirez, Laurie Mitchel, Asya Sorokurs, Tom Schwedhelm.
• Nays: None
Proposed Amendment to the CES policies and Procedures to allow the enrollment of non-literally homeless individuals to allow them to be served by the EHV program
Staff presented 2 different amendments, one specific to the EHV program and another that would allow the enrollment of non-literally homeless individuals for the EHV and other programs.
Jennielynn Holmes mentions that she thinks that families should be included in the language. Currently the language states only individuals.
Asya Sorokurs asks if both amendments need to be approved. Staff responds no.
Public Comment: none
Robin Phoenix motions to approve both policy amendments. Ben Leroi seconds
Vote:
• Ayes: Jennielynn Holmes, Robin Phoenix, Lisa Fatu, Ben Leroi, Margaret Sluyk, Laurie Mitchel, Asya Sorokurs, Tom Schwedhelm.
• Nays: None
Jennielynn Holmes mentions that the additional members of the CEA committee should be included in the next meeting because matters of the EHV program will be discussed. (MOUs) Staff reports that he will include them.
Public Comment on non-agenized items: None
Meeting adjourned at 12:53 pm.

Housing and ready to move on to other permanent housing
10% Chronically Homeless and identified as high users of emergency medical services (approximately 15 vouchers out of 153)
1 Under the Housing Choice Voucher program regulations at 24 CFR 982.4, the term “family” is a person or a group of persons, as determined by the PHA consistent with 24 CFR 5.403, approved to reside in a unit with assistance under the program. The term “family” used in EHV and HCV context always includes a family that is comprised of a single individual as well as a group of persons. 2
20% to homeless families or formerly homeless families participating in Rapid Rehousing program and at risk of homelessness/housing instability (approximately 31 vouchers our of 153)
5% Survivors of Domestic Violence/Human Trafficking (approximately 8 vouchers out of 153)
5% Transitional Age Youth Experiencing Homelessness (approximately 8 vouchers out of
153)

Timeline:
Date Event TBD Release of RFP TBD Responses to RFP due
Section 1: Project Background and Funding Information
The Sonoma County Community Development Commission (CDC) is a local governmental agency responsible for administering affordable housing and other programs in Sonoma County, CA. The CDC serves as the host agency for the Sonoma County Continuum of Care (CoC) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and is the recipient of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Project Number CA1173L9T041200, under which the Coordinated Entry System Project is funded. Thus, the CDC is seeking respondents—either a single agency or a collaborative with a single lead agency—to implement a combined project including Coordinated Intake for a total contract award of $349,991.
Funding is available for the operation of the Coordinated Entry system program through Continuum of Care funding in the amount of $349,991 for the first year, and is anticipated to be the same amount in subsequent years assuming performance goals are met. CoC funds are governed by their own set of federal rules and regulations as published in the HUD 24 CFR §578, the Continuum of Care Program Interim Rule: https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/CoCProgramInterimRule.pdf.
Eligible Applicants: Eligible applicants may include private nonprofit organizations, or State or local government entities or instrumentalities. Coordinated Intake services will be made available county-wide to homeless families with children in order to meet the HUD mandate that the centralized system serve the Continuum of Care’s entire geography.
Local Preference: It is the policy of Sonoma County to promote employment and business opportunities for
local residents and firms on all contracts and give preference to local residents, workers, businesses and consultants to the extent consistent with law and interests of the public. A Local Service Provider is defined as a business or consultant who has a valid physical address located within Sonoma County from which the vendor or consultant operates or performs business on a day-to-day basis, and holds a valid business license if required by a city within the jurisdiction of Sonoma County. Coordinated Entry Requirements:
The Homeless Emergency and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009 included a requirement that all local homeless Continua of Care (CoC’s) establish a centralized or coordinated entry point into the local homeless system of care.
On July 28, 2014, the HUD Office of Community Planning and Development published Notice CPD-14-012 titled “Notice on Prioritizing Persons Experiencing Chronic Homelessness and Other Vulnerable Homeless Persons in Permanent Supportive Housing and Recordkeeping Requirements for Documenting Chronic Homeless Status,” (http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=14-12cpdn.pdf). Section IV.A. of the notice reiterates the provisions of 24 CFR 578.7(a)(8) which require that each CoC establish and operate a centralized system to provide initial, comprehensive assessment of the needs of individuals and families for housing services. The notice identifies a clear priority for permanently housing homeless persons based on the severity of their needs as an individual or family, rather than on a first come, first served basis, and suggests adoption of standardized, evidence-based assessment tools to accomplish this.
The Sonoma County Coordinated Entry System (CES) prioritizes crucial services such as Rapid Rehousing (RRH), Emergency Shelter (ES), Transitional Housing (TH), and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). Participants are prioritized in HMIS using the VI-SPDAT evidence-based screening tool, unless those presenting for services can be diverted. CES provides walk-in services with 20 different Access Sites (AS) in all 5 regions of the county. Specialized AS were designed to help support people with a history of domestic violence and those diagnosed HIV/AIDS. The System prioritizes those with the highest vulnerability, the lengthiest homelessness, highest usages of emergency services, those with disabilities and those who are literally on the streets for all services. Additional prioritization factors for vulnerability are factored into scoring for families and the youth population. The Continuum of Care Board recently formed the Coordinated Entry Advisory Committee (CEA) to oversee the Coordinated Entry System. The Continuum of Care Board will have the final approvals of the recommendations of the CEA Committee.
Remaining Funding for FY 2021 TBD Funding for FY 2022 $349,991
Scope of work: The selected provider is responsible for ensuring the Coordinated Entry System is administered in accordance with the requirements of applicable notice(s). In addition to the regulatory and working provisions outlined above and in the background documents, the respondent will explain how they will establish the following:
• Demonstrate an ability to serve clients in all geographic areas of the county. • Demonstrate strong partnerships with local service providers and with City and County
medical providers or a plan on how to develop relationships with providers and stakeholders.
• Provide onboarding and on-going training and technical assistance to providers and access points.
• Provide an appeals body for denials that is run by a non-conflicted agency/body • Conflict of interest policy. Operator is responsible for operating the local CES process for
Sonoma County and must not have a conflict of interest (does not accept referrals from the CES). If the operator does have a conflict, they must demonstrate measures they would put in place to address it.
• Demonstrate financial stability within the agency. • Manage the By Names List • Develop processes to assist clients with acquiring documents that are needed to access
housing programs. • Operator prioritizes referrals to local projects within the County of Sonoma. • Demonstrate a staffing structure that has the capacity to work with vulnerable populations,
has the ability to learn and correctly use the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), knowledge of local non-profit service providers.
• Prioritize referrals • Demonstrate the ability to leverage outside funding sources (in kind or match) • Demonstrate a capacity to serve individuals who lack technology and connect them to
services.
Sonoma County Community Development Commission
Responsibility of the Sonoma County Community Development Commission (CDC):
• Contract with, and oversee the work of, the selected program operator.
• Support the Coordinated Intake Program in HMIS and document the HMIS data collection requirements, including management and performance reporting for the Coordinated Intake program.
• Monitor and evaluate all Coordinated Entry System Project data reporting in HMIS. • Monitor program effectiveness and facilitate recommended changes to the scope of work.
