The Contractor will be expected to identify the services for which the household is eligible and in need of in the housing and income stabilization plan, and to document and report on whether services were successfully secured. 7. Data Collection in HMIS and participation in Outcome Evaluation As part of this contract, information about client households and the HPRP-funded services that they receive will be entered into the county-wide In-HOUSE homeless management information system (HMIS.) Contractor must comply with all data collection and entry requirements. 8. Oversight and Reporting The Contractor must include appropriate supervision to be able to oversee the case management and housing placement activities or functions; review and approve applications for HPRP financial assistance and process payments; and prepare monthly reports for the City, State and Everyone Home. 9. Participation in Policy and Oversight Committee and in County-wide "Learning Community" The intent of this coordinated effort is to improve the way in which housing crises are identified and addressed in our community, including increasing our system's ability to prevent homelessness and to more quickly re-house those who become homeless. Because this effort is new and is being put in to place in a very short time frame, it is anticipated that modifications will be made during the course of the contract period. The agency will participate in a countywide coordinating body and learning community. This group will meet on a regular basis to share information and provide feedback about how the program is working in each region, provide feedback on the common program elements such as the referral process, assessment tool and data collection efforts, and facilitate communication and coordination between providers and jurisdictions. Population to be Served: Households eligible for HPRP-funded financial assistance and/or services maybe individuals (youth, adults) and/or families. They must meet all of the following criteria: • Income. HUD requires that household income be no greater than 50% of Area Median Income. Local priority has been established for those below 30% of Area Media Income. Homeless or At Risk of Homelessness. For purposes of HPRP, HUD's definition of homeless is the same as in other McKinney-Vento homelessness programs. HUD is allowing localities to define at-risk of homelessness and is encouraging targeting based on known risk factors. Jurisdictions in Alameda County receiving funding under the HPRP have agreed to utilize a common definition for at-risk of homelessness which will be assessed through a common assessment tool. The Contractor agrees to utilize the County-wide definitions to assess eligibility. • No ,O~tions or Resources: (1) No appropriate subsequent housing options have been identified, and (2) The household lacks the financial resources and support networks needed to obtain immediate housing or remain in its existing housing.
