• HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM:PSP LAUNCHED ITS NEW PREVENTION PROGRAM IN 2021. WITH COMMUNITY SUPPORT, PSP WAS ABLE TO INCREASE THE DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES IN 2022 AND WAS RECENTLY AWARDED A HENNEPIN COUNTY GRANT TO EXPAND THIS PROGRAM AND SERVE MORE FAMILIES. FOR OUR FAMILY HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM, 2022 SAW A FAST INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES REQUESTING FLEXIBLE PREVENTION SUPPORT FOR THINGS LIKE SECURITY DEPOSITS, BACK RENT, RENT SUPPORT, CAR REPAIRS/TIRE REPLACEMENTS, CELL PHONES SO THEY COULD STAY STABLY HOUSED. BECAUSE OF OUR OWN LIMITED FUNDING, ONE-MONTH LAST YEAR WE RECEIVED 40 CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE AND COULD ONLY TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 2 FAMILIES. OUR PARTNERS AT THE COUNTY SHARE THAT THEY ARE ALSO SEEING AN INCREASE IN REQUESTS FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES RESIDING IN HENNEPIN COUNTY TO RECEIVE ONE-ON-ONE ASSISTANCE PROVIDING SUPPORT, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND RESOURCES IN HOPES OF CREATING STABILITY IN THEIR HOUSING TO PREVENT THEM FROM EXPERIENCING OR RE-EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. PSP'S PREVENTION COORDINATOR OFFERS PERSONALIZED ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES THAT ALLOWS THEM TO IDENTIFY THEIR OWN BARRIERS. THEN FOLLOW UP IS PROVIDED THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM FINDING MORE AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE TO FREE UP MONTHLY DOLLARS TO MEDIATING WITH LANDLORDS TO PAYING FOR CAR REPAIRS SO PARENTS DO NOT LOSE THEIR JOBS. THE PROGRAM ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: (1) PRE-SCREENING & INTAKE: FAMILIES DO A PRE-SCREENING TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. TO BE ELIGIBLE, THE PARTICIPANT MUST BE A FAMILY (SINGLE ADULT WITH CHILD(REN) UNDER 18, A COUPLE WITH CHILD(REN) UNDER 18, OR A PREGNANT PERSON). THE FAMILY MUST RESIDE IN HENNEPIN COUNTY AND THEY MUST MEET INCOME GUIDELINES; (2) CASE MANAGEMENT & FOLLOW UP MEETINGS:FAMILIES WORK WITH THE PREVENTION COORDINATOR TO SET UP GOALS RELATED TO FAMILY STABILITY. CASE MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION FREQUENCY IS DECIDED BETWEEN THE COORDINATOR AND FAMILY BASED ON AVAILABILITY OF THE FAMILY. THE PREVENTION COORDINATOR WILL ASSIST IN PROVIDING RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT CAN BE ACCESSED TO HELP REACH ESTABLISHED GOALS. UPON PROGRAM COMPLETION, CHECK-IN'S ABOUT HOUSING STABILITY WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE 3 MONTH, 7 MONTH, AND ONE YEAR MARK. IN 2022 PSP'S PREVENTION COORDINATOR PROVIDED PREVENTION SERVICES TO 125 FAMILIES IN 491 MEETINGS. FAMILIES IN THE PROGRAM RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $73,200 IN DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY NEEDED TO MOVE TOWARDS STABILITY FROM CAR REPAIRS TO PAYING BACK RENT. THE TOP FIVE THINGS THAT DIRECT ASSISTANCE SUPPORTED WAS RENTAL ASSISTANCE, ENERGY ASSISTANCE, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES (PAYING FOR JOB TRAININGS AND MATERIALS NEEDED LIKE UNIFORMS), TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE (CAR REPAIRS, BUS CARDS, UBERS), AND CHILDCARE SUPPORT.
