8 vulnerability but greater economic needs of families. These pathways are designed to respond to the root causes of homelessness and barriers to housing stability. These resource pathways must be available in a high-performing homeless response system to end homelessness for Black and Native American adults, who encounter the greatest barriers to housing and disproportionately return to homelessness.23 In order to better define the Dedicated Affordable resource described in the CRE report, a working group began meeting in March 2021 and met four times between March and June. Dedicated Affordable is identified in the CRE as “a form of deeply subsidized housing for homeless people that does not require a disability to qualify.” System modeling “anticipates that 28% of households with only adults and 30% of households with minor children could end their homelessness with a deep housing subsidy and limited support services.”24 Focus group participants preferred Dedicated Affordable “to other housing interventions because it allowed them to pay rent and live independently from what was interpreted as required services.” Given the newness of this resource and the very large need for it, the group did not recommend being so specific that someone must fit a very particular definition to get help.
