Right Sizing • Do you have the right projects in your coalition? • Do you have the right funding for those projects? • Landlord recruitment & Housing Navigation Matching needs with projects – analysis of prioritization list • Those with lower barriers (VI-SDPAT scores 4 -7) means more Rapid Re-housing “type” projects are needed. This could include Co. C, EHH, TBRA, SSVF, or other local funds. • Those with medium or higher barriers (VI-SPDAT scores 8+) and not chronically homeless, means more Rapid Re-housing type projects with more intensive case management level services or alternative project structures are needed. • Those with medium or higher barriers (VI-SPDAT scores 8+) and chronically homeless, means more Permanent Supportive Housing projects are needed. This could include Co. C, HUD-VASH, or other local funds.
