Report to Chair and Commissioners of the Housing Authority Re: HPRP Program June 7, 2023 Page 2 3. Authorize the Executive Director or their designee to make necessary changes and execute documents and implement the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program. BACKGROUND The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program is funded by the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds to provide homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing. The Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale’s Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP) pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(a)(2) provides financial assistance for individuals and families who are homeless or would be homeless but for the assistance of the HPRP Program. The objectives of the HPRP program are to assist: a) individuals and families who are currently in housing but are at risk of becoming homeless and need temporary rent or utility assistance to prevent them from becoming homeless, or assistance to move to another unit (homeless prevention) and b) to assist individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness (residing in emergency or transitional shelters or on the street) and need temporary assistance in order to obtain housing and retain it (rapid re- housing). Program resources must be targeted and prioritized to serve households that are most in need of this temporary assistance and are most likely to achieve stable housing. DISCUSSION The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP) has been successful in previous years assisting households with financial burdens. Program assistance may include the provision of short-term or medium-term rental assistance, housing relocation and stabilization services including housing search, mediation, or outreach to property owners, credit repair, security or utility deposits, utility payments, rental assistance for a final month at a location, moving cost assistance, and case management, or other appropriate activities for homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing of persons who have become homeless. The need for assistance continues to increase as the pandemic has ended. Many programs offering assistance due to COVID have come to an end and funding is no longer available. Many City Departments are currently experiencing a high call volume from residents inquiring about rental assistance. The Salvation Army experienced 214 requests for assistance in 2021-2022 and 477 requests for assistance to date in 2022- 2023. There is a high demand for Case Management therefore funding was increased from $25,000 to $50,000 for Case Management services. The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program supports the strategies and goals of Los Angeles County’s Homeless Initiative approved by the County Board of Supervisors, Initiative strategies include to Prevent, House and Stabilize the unhoused. HPRP meets the City of Palmdale’s Plan to Prevent and Combat Homelessness goal to prevent episodes of

Report to Chair and Commissioners of the Housing Authority Re: HPRP Program June 7, 2023 Page 3 homelessness in the community, including individuals and families, to assist homeless individuals and families by providing relevant and accurate information that creates a path for them to no longer be homeless, and to create housing opportunities that meet their needs. A Request for Proposal was published in PlanetBids, 245 vendors were notified of the request, 12 prospective bidders showed interest and 1 proposal was received. The Salvation Army was selected to provide Case Management services for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program.

An increase in funding has been provided for Case Management, a part-time position to increase their availability for assisting clients. The Case Manager works with individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless, providing referrals for services as needed and determining the level of assistance including rental assistance, utility payments, housing relocation and/or stabilization services. FISCAL IMPACT Funding of $240,000 of restricted Housing Asset Funds in account 29364012 will be allocated for consultant services per year.
