SHELTER PARTNERSHIP WORKS TO PREVENT AND END HOMELESSNESS FOR VARIOUS POPULATIONS, SUCH AS OLDER ADULTS, PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AND/OR SUBSTANCE USE ISSUES, VETERANS, FAMILIES, YOUTH, PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS, AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS. SHELTER PARTNERSHIP CO-FACILITATED THE WORK OF THE LOS ANGELES CONTINUUM OF CARE BOARD, A GOVERNANCE BODY REQUIRED UNDER THE FEDERAL HEARTH ACT TO OVERSEE THE FUNDING, OPERATIONS, AND EVALUATION OF THE COC PROGRAM LOCALLY. THIS WORK INCLUDED EDUCATING BOARD MEMBERS ON TRENDS AND NEEDS IN REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS AND HOW THE HOMELESS SERVICES SYSTEM IS PERFORMING. IT ALSO INCLUDED REGULARCONVENING OF WORK GROUPS TO SET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR COC-FUNDED PROJECTS, ESTABLISH FUNDING PRIORITIES FOR FUTURE PROJECTS TO ADDRESS SERVICE GAPS, AND STRATEGIZE ABOUT WAYS TO IMPROVE THE COC'S COMPETITIVENESS IN THE NATIONAL FUNDING COMPETITION. THIS WORK NORMALLY ENTAILS HELPING THE LOS ANGELES HOMELESS SERVICES AUTHORITY (LAHSA) TO WRITE AND SUBMIT THE $160+ MILLION COC PROGRAM APPLICATION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT.THE POLICY AND PLANNING TEAM ALSO WORKED CLOSELY WITH LAHSA TO PURSUE AND/OR DEVELOP NEW FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES BENEFITTING HOMELESS YOUTH AND SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

SHELTER PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN PLAYING A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND ONGOING OPERATIONS OF THE LOS ANGELES AGING POLICY ACTION TEAM (PAT), A COALITION OF SERVICE PROVIDERS, HOUSING DEVELOPERS, HEALTHCARE AGENCIES AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE PAT IS TO COLLECTIVELY IDENTIFY AND ADVOCATE FOR POLICY CHANGE THAT WILL IMPACT OLDER ADULTS WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT-RISK FOR HOMELESSNESS AND TO BRING A UNIFIED VOICE TO ADVOCATE FOR THE NEEDS OF OLDER ADULTS AT POLICY FORUMS ACROSS LA COUNTY. PAT MEMBERS WORKED DURING THE YEAR TO IMPROVE AND EXPAND THE ASSISTED LIVING WAIVER PROGRAM (ALW) WHICH PROVIDES ASSISTANCE WITH ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (E.G., EATING, BATHING, DRESSING, MEDICATION MANAGEMENT) TO MEDI-CAL ELIGIBLE ADULTS, INCLUDING OLDER ADULTS, TO DIVERT THEM FROM INTUITIONAL PLACEMENT.
