The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service (IFC) is requesting funds for 3 FTE case <br />managers to allow expansion of best practice PSH program. The current program cannot expand due to the need <br />for match funding. The program currently has 2 FTEs funded by Continuum of Care (CoC) funding. Providing local <br />funding for PSH services would allow the CoC dollars to be used for rental assistance, and adding another FTE <br />case manager (3 total) would provide the staff capacity needed to administer additional rental assistance from <br />reallocated CoC funds. Permanent Supportive Housing demand has been exacerbated by COVID, from an average <br />of about 25 households per month in February 2020 who are experiencing chronic homelessness and have high <br />service needs to about 40 households per month in September 2021. There have been zero program referrals to <br />PSH in the past two years because current programs are full. <br />Program Budget: <br />Salary & benefits for 3 case managers + IFC overhead $200,000 <br />GAP <br />PROGRESS <br />SINCE JUNE 2019 STATUS NOTES <br />NEEDED <br />TO FILL <br />Youth Housing <br />Program <br />Program that <br />served Durham <br />revamped to <br />adopt Rapid Re- <br />housing model <br />UNFILLED Need program expansion funding to <br />cover youth in Orange County <br />$162,160 <br />Program Description: <br />Funding LGBTQ Center of Durham for housing, therapy, and case management for youth (age 18-24) exiting <br />homelessness in Orange County; program serves both LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ youth.
