    Adultism Training with True Colors United – Tuesday, 12/17/19

    TPCH will host True Colors United for this 3-hour adultism training as part of the Tucson/Pima Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program. Maximize your learning on adultism to help create authentic youth-adult partnerships from nationally recognized experts, True Colors United.

     

    What is Adultism?

    Adultism is defined as prejudice toward and discrimination against children and younger adults based on their age. Conscious and subconscious adultism influences the way we provide services, interpret youth input, and relate to young leaders.

     

    In this training, participants will:

    • Learn to recognize adultism in our youth homelessness response system and the services their agencies provide
    • Understand the intersections between adultism, racism and anti-LGBTQ prejudice
    • Develop strategies to address adultism and other isms in the local homeless response system and participants’ work

    At the request of the Youth Action Committee and Continuum of Service Committee, the TPCH Board approved revisions to the TPCH Written Standards extending the target length of stay in rapid rehousing projects for youth ages 18-24 to twelve months.

    The Written Standards will be revised and posted to the TPCH website within the next 7 days.

    Chronic Homelessness Among Veterans Reduced by 50% Since April

    TPCH member agencies and government partners at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System, City of Tucson Housing and Community Development, and Pima County HMIS are pooling resources to end chronic homelessness among veterans.

    Over the past six months, the number of veterans known to be experiencing chronic homelessness through the Tucson/Pima County Coordinated Entry system reduced by 50%.

    Thank you to the Built for Zero Community Team and the many partners who have joined together to help our community end chronic homelessness among veterans.

    Request for Qualifications to Accept FY18 CoC Grant Transfers

This Request for Qualifications process is the means by potential recipient(s) will be identified.  Responses will be reviewed by a selection panel which will make recommendations to the TPCH Board for approval. TPCH’s selection is subject to HUD approval.

    TPCH Request for Qualifications (FY18 PSH Grant Transfers)

    Letters of interest and qualification in response to this solicitation must be submitted to tpch@tucsonaz.gov on or before October 10, 2019 (1pm, Arizona Time).

    Background

    The following CoC Permanent Supportive Housing project grants are being voluntarily relinquished by the current grant recipient:

    • Solitude PSH: CODAC, Inc. is voluntarily relinquishing the Solitude PSH project effective November 30, 2019. There is one year of funding remaining on the project and a new recipient is sought to administer the project from December 1, 2019-November 30, 2020. This grant was reallocated during the FY 2019 Continuum of Care funding competition and renewal funds will not be available after November 30, 2020.
    • Enhanced Supportive Housing Program PSH: CODAC, Inc. is voluntarily relinquishing the Enhanced Supportive Housing Program PSH project effective December 31, 2019. There is one year of funding remaining on the project and a new recipient is sought to administer the project from January 1, 2020-December 31, 2020. This grant was reallocated during the FY 2019 Continuum of Care funding competition and renewal funds will not be available after December 31, 2020.
    • Lifeworks PSH: COPE Community Services seeks to transfer or subaward delivery of services through the LifeWorks Permanent Supportive Housing Project effective as soon as possible. This project begins its final 12-month grant term on October 1, 2019 and will expire on September 30, 2020. This grant was reallocated during the FY 2019 Continuum of Care funding competition and renewal funds will not be available after September 30, 2020.  Because the project year will begin prior to the submission deadline for transfer requests, TPCH has initiated an inquiry with HUD to determine the allowability of a mid-year transfer. If a mid-year transfer is unallowable or poses undue burden on participants, the current recipient, and the selected transfer recipient; project funds may be transferred to the selected recipient through a subrecipient agreement with the current grantee. The final approach will be determined collectively by COPE Community Services, the selected transfer/subaward recipient, and the CoC based on HUD guidance.

    Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the FY 2018 CoC application for each project in which they are expressing interest to accept a grant transfer.  Applications are available at https://old.tpch.net/about/nofa-documents/fy-2018/. 

    For more information, please email tpch@tucsonaz.gov or call Jason Thorpe, Collaborative Applicant Coordinator, at (520) 837-5331.

    TPCH Selected for HUD Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program & A Way Home America Grand Challenge!
    TPCH has been selected to participate in two incredible initiatives to end youth homelessness! As we previously communicated, we were selected as one of 23 communities across the nation to participate in Round 3 of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program. Local organizations will receive a total of $4.558M over the next two years to launch innovative housing solutions addressing youth homelessness throughout Pima County. This initiative will be led by Our Family Services and the TPCH Youth Action Committee in partnership with the City of Tucson.

    Earlier this week, A Way Home America also announced that we are one of 10 communities selected to participate in the A Way Home America Grand Challenge! Through this initiative, TPCH will receive two years of intensive technical assistance and support to advance efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness among disparately impacted LGBTQ+ youth and youth of color. This initiative will be led by the University of Arizona Southwest Institute for Research on Women and the TPCH Youth Action Committee in partnership with Our Family Services, Youth On Their Own, the City of Tucson, and Pima County Sullivan Jackson Employment Center.

    Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting initiatives!

    Tuesday, September 17

    10:00am – Low-Barrier Shelter and Housing
    City of Tucson – 320 N. Commerce Park Loop
    Low‐barrier shelter and housing accept people as they are and provide a safe place for those who may have no other options. The nonprofit and private sectors have implemented successful approaches to low‐barrier shelter and housing, yet expanding low‐barrier shelter and housing availability remains a challenge.

    1:00pm – Homelessness Prevention & Housing Stability for Vulnerable Populations
    City of Tucson – 320 N. Commerce Park Loop

    There are many pathways into and out of homelessness. While people experiencing homelessness share the common problem of a lack of access to safe, decent affordable housing, service providers are increasingly recognizing that understanding the distinct challenges of youth, previously‐incarcerated people, and very‐low income households can help to ensure the appropriate supports and services are provided.

    3:00pm – Preventing Repeat Homelessness
    City of Tucson – 320 N. Commerce Park Loop

    New research, innovation, and best practices have all contributed to reducing homelessness, yet many once homeless individuals find themselves re‐experiencing homelessness after a period of housing stability. The health, justice, child protection, and systems all play a major role in housing stability and taking joint responsibility to work together can help reduce repeat homelessness.

    Wednesday, September 18

    1:00pm – Mixed-Income & Workforce Housing
    City of Tucson – 320 N. Commerce Park Loop

    Mixed‐income and workforce housing approaches can help to get additional permanently‐affordable units built, ensure high‐quality housing, and de-concentrate poverty. Yet mixed‐income development is complex, presents unique risks, and may ultimately house fewer low‐income families. Community context, the local housing market, financing options, whether to develop for rental or ownership, and who will be served are essential considerations.

    3:00pm – Anchor Institutions & Investments
    City of Tucson – 320 N. Commerce Park Loop

    Anchor institutions such as hospitals, universities, corporations and large nonprofits play a pivotal role in employing people at multiple employment levels, improving schools, and supporting civic, cultural and business opportunities. These institutions can play a vital role in providing neighborhood housing, and learning and economic opportunities.

    6:00pm – The Role of HUD Funding in Neighborhood Preservation
    City of Tucson – 320 N. Commerce Park Loop

    Learn how HUD and related resources have been invested in Tucson and Pima County over the past three years and share your thoughts and ideas about using those resources to preserve neighborhood and community character and build new opportunities for residents.

    10:00am – Rural Community Needs Roundtable Discussion
    Ellie Towne Flowing Wells Community Center, 1660 W Ruthrauff Rd., Tucson, AZ 85705

    Join a discussion of the challenges of homelessness outreach and services in small towns and rural areas.

    11:30am – Improving Access to Healthy Food/Local Food Eco-Systems
    Ellie Towne Flowing Wells Community Center, 1660 W Ruthrauff Rd., Tucson, AZ 85705

    Access to healthy food is essential to the health and productivity of community residents and consequently to the
    overall health of the community. Access to healthy foods is increased when local food production, processing, distribution and retail work together to build strong markets for healthy foods.

    1:15pm – Centralizing Resources
    Flowing Wells Family Resource Center, 4545 N. La Cholla Blvd., Tucson, AZ 85705

    Schools can be an important and centralized location for services for families. Join us for a school field trip and brief tour of the Flowing Wells Family Resource Center and learn about how they serve the community.

    2:00pm – Multi-Purpose/Hybrid Facilities
    Ellie Towne Flowing Wells Community Center, 1660 W Ruthrauff Rd., Tucson, AZ 85705

    Multi‐purpose centers can provide essential services to vulnerable residents while improving the community economy, and health, cultural, technological and education outcomes. Join us for a tour of the Ellie Towne Flowing Wells Community Center and learn how this center was designed to provide sustain a range of service and opportunities.
     

    TPCH Board Approves Performance Standards for Emergency Solutions Grant Recipients & Subrecipients
    At its August 2019 meeting, the TPCH Board approved new performance standards for all Emergency Solutions Grant program components. Consistent with the CoC and ESG Performance Evaluation and Monitoring Policy, the HMIS Lead will report performance of all ESG-funded projects operating in Pima County to the CoC and to the region’s three ESG recipients (City of Tucson HCD, Pima County CDNC, Arizona Department of Economic Security) quarterly. The TPCH Performance Evaluation and Monitoring Committee will review performance reports and collaborate with ESG recipietns and subrecipients to implement opportunities to strengthen project and system performance through capacity-building and technical assistance offerings throughout the year.

    The approved ESG Performance Standards are published at https://old.tpch.net/about/tpch-governing-documents/.
     

    TPCH Board Approves CoC Project Reallocation Policy
    The TPCH Board has approved a formal policy to guide CoC project reallocation. The new policy will affect renewal projects in the Fiscal Year 2020 CoC Program Competition and later. This policy, which was adopted by the Board at its August 27 meeting, replaces the current Involuntary Reallocation as a Result of Underspending Policy and outlines policies and procedures for both voluntary and involuntary reallocation as a result of project performance, spending, financial and management capacity, and community needs.

    All CoC project recipients and subrecipients are encouraged to review the approved policy at https://old.tpch.net/about/tpch-governing-documents/ and to direct any questions to tpch@tucsonaz.gov.
