Priority Population. Service Delivery Commerce promotes evidence-based program delivery models that align with best practices for providing permanent supportive housing and permanent housing subsidy. The following requirements apply to grantees and subgrantees that deliver PHS. Permanent Supportive Housing Core Elements Grantees should adhere to the core elements of Permanent Supportive Housing, as applicable, when administering Permanent Housing Subsidy. For more information, visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Permanent Supportive Housing Evidence-Based Practices Kit. Housing First Programs must be operated in accordance with Housing First principles. For detail on Housing First, see the National Alliance to End Homelessness’s webpage on the topic. Voluntary Services Grantees must not terminate or deny services to households based on a household’s refusal to participate in supportive services. Supportive services are intensive services aimed at helping a person obtain and maintain housing. Supportive Housing providers work in partnership with various community entities to provide wrap around support, such as mental health services, alcohol and substance abuse services, long term care services, life skills or independent living skills services and vocational services. These services are not billable to CBRA, but are allowable expenses under the FCS program or other supportive services programs.
Priority Population. Grantees must prioritize households meeting eligibility criteria for the program that are discharging or needing to discharge or who have discharged from state psychiatric hospitals or community psychiatric inpatient beds within the past 12 months. Households that meet eligibility criteria for the program that are not within the priority population may be served as long as the grantee has made a reasonable effort to ensure that individuals in the priority population have first access to available funds. Upon approval from Commerce, CBRA grantees may set additional local prioritization criteria, based on community need, if the priority population above has been exhausted. Grantees using local prioritization criteria must produce and maintain a prioritization policy that includes a detailed explanation of all priority populations, criteria used to determine an individual is part of priority population, and how they will be prioritized.

These emergency housing situations are typically in hotels, motels, transitional housing projects, or recovery residences but other situations may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Housing search support must be provided by the grantee while a participant is placed in an emergency housing situation. Emergency housing situations do not require a lease, habitability, or lead-based paint inspections. Participants are not required to pay rent while in emergency housing situations.

Priority Population. An individual is eligible for the program when there is probable cause that that individual has committed an offense for which they could be arrested and where the officer discerns their behavior is related to unmet mental health needs, substance use/misuse, and/or extreme poverty. The priority population of those eligible include: Individuals who have had multiple contacts with the criminal legal system and are at high risk of recidivism; Individuals typically excluded or underserved by existing programs (including trans people, people experiencing homelessness, immigrants, and people with HIV); Individuals who are impacted by racial disparities in policing, arrests and, sentencing. WHAT IS DIVERSION (See Operational Protocol for law enforcement procedures) Diversion is the act of changing course from one direction to another: Police officers utilizes their discretion to divert an individual whose offending behavior may be driven by drug dependency, mental illness, or poverty/homelessness away from the criminal justice system and towards community-based, , comprehensive case-management; Diversion is made at the pre-arrest stage bypassing the costs and time entailed in booking, processing, and incarceration; Diversion is not a separate “program” but rather a part of an entire system of social services and justice agencies problem solving. Instead of blame it is solution focused; Diversion should always be safe and appropriate for the participant; Diversion linkages are based on the individual (needs, assets, barriers, desires, professional recommendations, and strengths are all take into consideration); Diversion requires a harm reduction approach that is rooted in a housing first, trauma informed care, and cultural awareness modalities.
