16 <br /> Blake Rosser said staff has been in touch with Durham VA about the increase in Veteran <br /> homelessness and connecting them with HUD VASH Vouchers. <br /> Slide #14 <br /> SPECIAL POPULATIONS: OTHER <br /> PIT COUNT - 01 .27.2025 <br /> 60 55 <br /> 50 <br /> 40 <br /> 30 <br /> 20 15 <br /> 10 <br /> 10 4 <br /> 0 <br /> Serious MH DO Substance Use DO HIV(AIDS Domestic Violence <br /> Survivors <br /> Special Pop:Other <br /> .� J Orange County <br /> Partnership to <br /> *PIT Data presented here is locally confirmed,but non-HUD validated.* J� ^ End Homelessnes <br /> Chair Bedford asked if the Compass Center grant that the county took over has expired. <br /> Danielle DeCaprio said that is still active. <br /> Blake Rosser said there are currently 6 families housed. <br /> Blake Rosser said it took until the end of April to compile the data from the PIT count, so <br /> it will be May/June before staff can present this information annually. <br /> Commissioner Carter said she appreciates the information and is interested t know how <br /> the information helps formulate a plan of action. <br /> Blake Rosser said this is more about what the numbers tell HUD so then the Partnership <br /> is eligible for grant money. <br /> Danielle DeCaprio said there are multiple reporting data points that have to go to HUD. <br /> She said that she feels that the PIT count is the most inaccurate. She said they also present a <br /> longitudinal study analysis (LSA) at the end of the year and that shows what has happened over <br /> the year. She said that study is used to help formulate plans. She said there are three or four <br /> required reporting periods. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said that she had referred a parent to the helpline, and they let her <br /> know they called but that they could not be helped until August. She asked how she should <br /> respond to that. <br /> Blake Rosser said it depends on the program they need assistance for. He said that since <br /> it is August, they might be talking about the longtime homeowner assistance program. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said that it was for someone that does not have a home. <br /> Blake Rosser said that he is unsure of the details of the call or why they were told that. He <br /> asked Commissioner Fowler to forward that person directly to him so he could look into this. <br /> Danielle DeCaprio said that the person could possibly be in a lease seeking emergency <br /> housing assistance and the requirement is that they have to be within two weeks of eviction so it <br /> may be what they were calling about. <br />
