The chronically homeless, severely mentally ill, veterans, persons with HIV /AIDS, victims of domestic <br />violence, and youth will be moved Into rapid re- housing options rather than the traditional shelter <br />system; the chronic substance abuse homeless subpopulation will use a traditional shelter model with <br />expanded services and programs. The Center for the Homeless established a homeless veteran facility. <br />The CoC is also considering a facility for the chronically homeless who typically stay outside of the <br />shelter system. <br />Helping low- income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely <br />low- income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly <br />funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, <br />foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving <br />assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, <br />employment, education, or youth needs. <br />Discharge planning within the community continues to be extremely difficult. While the hospitals and <br />community mental health centers have coordinated plans with the emergency shelter facilities, they are <br />still less than ideal for an individual just released from their care. Additionally, county and state <br />correctional facilities are not coordinating their releases; it is not uncommon to have an individual arrive <br />at a facility with paperwork ordering them into residence when there is no available bed. With the <br />support of the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, the CoC has been working with <br />the State Department of Correction and the Department of Child Services to improve the coordination <br />of discharge policies. <br />The CoC has developed discharge coordination policies for foster care, health care, and mental health <br />systems of care. Foster Care: The Indiana Division of Child Services case managers are responsible for <br />creating individualized plans for each youth being discharged from foster care. They are responsible for <br />case planning, and reunification conferences with providers including foster parents, birth parents, <br />children (when age appropriate), and Court Appointed Special Advocates. Discharge planning does not <br />include use of McKinney -Vento funded shelters. Youth aging out of foster care receive independent <br />living services that cover areas such as financial independence, educational needs, vocational needs, <br />mental health and substance abuse treatment. The Division of Child Services has a written protocol and <br />partners with appropriate community providers to ensure that youth discharged from foster care are <br />not discharged into the streets. <br />Discussion <br />One year goals for the number of households to be provided housing through the use of HOPWA for: <br />Short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance to prevent homelessness of the <br />Individual or family <br />Tenant -based rental assistance <br />Annual Action Plan <br />2014 <br />OMB Control No: 25060117 (up. 07/31/2075) <br />46 <br />
