Project Description (1000 character limit):

The Jimmy Heath House (JHH) is a 25 unit PSH project that opened in Dec 2010 and is located at 219 Odeon Street,Cincinnati, Ohio. JHH serves chronically homeless individuals with a substance use disorder utilizing the housing firstmodel. The project is unique in that it targets the longest term homeless in our community. Prior to Coordinated Entry, aselection committee that included outreach and shelter workers helped us choose those most in need. JHH operates atfull capacity with 24 hour front desk staff and on-site case management. Over-the-Rhine Community Housing (OTRCH)owns and manages the project, as well as provides on-site supportive services. The project works with GCB and severalother local service providers on a daily basis for mental health, substance abuse treatment, aftercare, medical care,benefits, food, clothing, furniture, and life skills. Several civic organizations volunteer each month to help us withcommunity meals and tenant activities.

Paths to Recovery is a scattered-site, rental assistance program that serves chronically homeless, chronic substance

users. 42 participants are housed at any given point in time. Over-the-Rhine Community Housing administers the

subsidies and Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services provides intensive supportive services. The program

employs the Housing First model. The primary disability is substance abuse, with many also impacted by a mental health

diagnosis. Referrals get prioritized by their perceived vulnerability, length of homelessness, having extensive arrest

records, and being alcohol dependent. The primary program goal is housing retention. The service providers maintain

regular contact with the participants, assist with service plans and daily living skills, provide case management and

maintain regular communication with OTRCH staff. Partner organizations meet on a weekly basis to review program

outcomes and participant issues.

Project Description (1000 character limit): This project will be a site based PSH program serving chronically homeless,

HIV+ individual adults. Caracole will lease a 15-20 unit building in its entirety and will provide permanent supportive

housing to at least 10 chronically homeless persons annually, and will serve additional low-income persons with

HIV/AIDS using Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) funds. Our intention is to secure a facility that would also

house on-site services for all clients, also paid for with non-CoC funds. The CoC application is being made for leasing

assistance for 10 1-bedroom units for one year. We anticipate we will serve up to 25 total persons using both CoC and

other funds over that period in the project.

Caracole House began in 1988 as a transitional housing project, but this model no longer meets the needs of the clients

as ideally as it once did. By shifting our transitional housing model to permanent housing, we will be able to better serve

the homeless, HIV+ population by providing longer term housing and stability. We will utilize a harm reduction model to

support our commitment to housing first, which means a low barrier, supportive living environment. We plan to provide

on-site, 24 hour staff and medical case management with service money provided via HOPWA, ODH, and the United

Way. Chronically homeless, HIV+ individuals are less likely to be consistently engaged in medical care, retained in

medical care, and/or be virally suppressed. This model will allow us to provide supportive engagement with a wide

range of services, all client driven, which will overall contribute to viral load suppression and stability. The program will

also provide structure and services to increase self-sufficiency; including educational, vocational, employment and

health interventions. Due to the structure of this program, clients will receive referrals to address co-existing conditions

(i.e., mental health, substance use/dependency, and/or other physical conditions). Staff will work with clients to

support the HUD mandated CoC outcomes, including increasing benefits and income, increasing earned income,

maintaining and/or exiting to other permanent housing, and decreasing homeless recidivism.


While this project is considered to be a “new” PSH project for the purposes of this application, this project is intended toreplace Caracole House, a 16-bed, site-based transitional housing facility that Caracole has operated in Roselawn since1989. Caracole House has served our clients well for over 25 years, but given that the transitional housing model hasfallen out of favor with HUD, and the fact that the congregate living arrangement has become less popular with ourclients, we have decided to reinvent the concept as Caracole House 3, a site-based permanent housing project forchronically homeless persons with HIV/AIDS. The Caracole House transitional project (as well as a companion project,Recovery Community) previously received SHP funds, but have not been CoC-funded for several years. However, it isimportant to note that while this is a “new” project application, Caracole is not new to the concept of site-based housingfor the homeless. Indeed, providing good quality housing for persons with HIV/AIDS was the purpose for which theorganization was founded and it remains a key focus of our mission to this day.Since 2011, Caracole House has served 132 clients and of these clients, 75% (99 of 132) were successfully transitioned topermanent living situations.

Lighthouse Permanent Supportive Housing utilizes and scattered site housing model to provided rental assistance and

intensive case management to 18-24 year old male and female youth with eligible, documented disabilities. Youth are

assisted with apartment identification by dedicate housing staff in their preferred locations in the community to

promote pro social connections, proximity to treatment providers, education, employment and other community

resources to foster their goals toward independence. Treatment services are provided based upon a Trauma Informed

Care Approach and all case manager are Level 1 Trauma Practitioners. Case managers meet with each youth weekly and

collaborate with all treatment providers to ensure a youth driven, integrated treatment plan. Treatment plans include

recommendations from diagnostic assessments, the Child Adolescent Needs and Strength with Trauma Screening, Daniel

Memorial Life Skills Plan and goals established by the youth.


Despite the lower pre-scores from 6/1/13-5/31/16, over the last operating year, six youth have secured independent

housing through Section 8 and/or CMHA. This is a testament to their increased life skills and stabilization of mental

health toward self-sufficiency. One youth exited the program due to working full time and exceeding the income

threshold! The program continues to serve greater numbers of youth than anticipated and has done so at a decreased

cost resulting in a decrease in the overall CoC funding request. The program was projected to serve 25 and served 34.

We will actively participate in all appropriatework Group(s) once our program is implemented.

Coordinated Entry

Project Description (1000 character limit): The Commons at South Cumminsville (CASC) will provide 60 1-BR units of

site-based permanent supportive housing for very low income adults that have struggled with long-term homelessness

and disabling conditions. Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health (GCB) will serve as the primary onsite service provider

(similar to Jimmy Health House and Anna Louise Inn). Low-income housing tax credits and other resources totaling more

than $14 million have been secured to cover the cost of new construction, and Cincinnati MHA has committed project-

based rental assistance valued at approximately $475,200/year (for 60 units), to ensure that residents pay only 30% of

their income for rent. We have obtained site control and the South Cumminsville Community Council has formally voted

to support the project. CASC will offer each resident a private, secure 1-BR, 1-BA apartment that includes a kitchen with

full-size appliances. Onsite amenities will include a front desk to provide 24/7 reception and security, laundry and

vending facilities, a computer/resource center, fitness center, and community space to support onsite programming.

National Church Residences will provide property management, maintenance, and front desk services and will partner

with GCB and other local providers to ensure residents have access to robust onsite supportive services including case

management, primary and behavioral healthcare, employment resources, linkage to mainstream benefits and resources,

and other social and recreational programming designed to encourage housing retention, participation in community-

based services, finding and keeping employment, building income and savings, sharing resources, and giving back to the

community and neighborhood. Supportive services will be aimed at developing the skills necessary to adjust to life with

any one or combination of disabling conditions, but will not be a requirement of housing. Self-determination and client

choice will be an important factor in the provision of services. Support from the Continuum of Care is vital to help cover

some of the operating and services costs, and to keep the project moving forward!

X Coordinated Entry

Project Description (1000 character limit): Permanent Supportive Housing is a site-based SRO Project of 39 coed SRO

units in Over-The-Rhine serving homeless adults with severe mental illness. All programming focuses on our

organizational goals of security, dignity, and community. Security means a fully furnished room with controlled access,

privacy, and 24/7 staffing to assist residents in goal setting, medication monitoring, and crisis intervention. Security also

entails a close working relationship with the Cincinnati Police and conducting in-house Substance Abuse education

groups. Dignity means valuing the inherent worth of each resident through GED training, job readiness, vocational

training, income and benefit management, and tutoring. In addition, peer and professional-led support groups are

provided for harm reduction, social skills building, health and wellness, and nutrition/physical fitness. Community is

fostered through the campus setting, development of personal life skills goals, recreational and social outings, and

utilizing a volunteer program of more than 1500 volunteers to prepare and serve family-style hot meals on a daily basis.

Describe significant accomplishments in the last operating year (750-character limit): Haven Hall PSH provided site-

based SRO housing to 48 individuals in 2015. In the prior reporting period, 97% maintained housing or exited to

permanent housing. This stable environment facilitated 75% of residents maintaining or increasing their income, and

56% receiving mainstream benefits.

Supportive services provided onsite included groups such as Dual Recovery, Men’s Group, Women’s Group, Wellness

Management and Recovery (WMR), and psychosocial rehabilitation activities/recreational outings. On-site literacy and

vocational readiness initiatives have paid off, with 2 residents being hired as Peer Support Specialists, and one being

hired and eventually promoted to manager at a local bakery.

X Coordinated Entry

Project Description (1000 character limit): The PSH program was designed to place families who have a member with a

disability and who have had multiple experiences of homelessness, or are at-risk for chronic homelessness, directly from

shelter into scattered site housing. Through provision of on-going rental support and intensive case management,

families are able to connect with long-term services needed to appropriately address the disability, as well as work

toward greater stability and independence. While IHNGC was pleased with its track record of moving families from

shelter to housing, it was clear that some families had needs not adequately addressed by traditional shelter or housing

programs. These were often the families that also experienced repeated episodes of homelessness, had difficulty

maintaining housing once obtained, and remained in shelter longer due to limited resources and burned bridges. The

PSH program provides an option for families to be housed quickly and receive long-term services at their own pace.

Describe significant accomplishments in the last operating year (750-character limit): The IHNGC PSH program served

26 families and 116 individuals (more than proposed) in the last contract year with a 99% housing retention rate and

zero returns to homelessness over a two year period. (We were saddened at the death of one Mom and the separation

of her dependents into varied exit destinations.) While income and earned income scores were lower than desired, it is

important to note that 4 households that had no income at the end of the grant year in January have since obtained

income, 2 of those earned income. An additional 2 families have SSI applications pending. Four families have pending

Housing Choice Vouchers and are excited to be exiting into more independent, permanent housing destinations.

Since 2012, IHNGC has operated the only Permanent Supportive Housing program in the community exclusively

dedicated to families. IHNGC specializes in meeting the significant needs faced by parents and children exiting repeated

episodes of homelessness while coping with the challenges of a family member, or multiple members, with a disabling

condition. IHNGC has not been able, however, to meet the needs of all families that require such programming. There

are presently 30 families on the waiting list for PSH through coordinated entry and that list is expected to grow. The

IHNGC PSH 2 project will add additional capacity in order to better meet community-wide needs, with the same proven

ability to keep parents and children housed and moving forward as has been demonstrated in the existing IHNGC PSH

program. Priority will continue to be given to chronically homeless families.

BHS Permanent Supportive Housing Program (PSH) will provide long-term housing with supportive services for

chronically homeless families with disabilities. Families with the most severe service needs will be the first priority.

These families will have the opportunity to be housed quickly so they are able to live in the community while addressing

their basic needs for housing and ongoing support for the family. The families will be identified through the coordinated

entry project.

Participants can remain in their housing as long as program requirements are met; this would include paying their

portion of the rent, not interfering with neighbors, not causing property damage, etc. PSH staff will help potential

participants identify their housing needs and preferences, such as the neighborhood; type of building and unit, proximity

to transportation, emergency services, recreation; and medical facilities. The staff will continue to work with the family

while they are in the program.

The Consolidated Renewal – Legacy Shelter Plus Care grant will continue to provide Permanent Supportive Housing tohomeless disabled individuals and families. All sponsor agencies prioritize the chronically homeless when makinghousing placements. The sponsor agencies are experienced and skilled and have been working collaboratively to endhomelessness for over twenty years.

This grant primarily funds scattered site/tenant-based rental assistance. All four sponsor agencies provide the majorityof supportive services to clients with other funding and coordinate additional services with a variety of expert serviceagencies throughout our community. Housing subsidies can be shifted among the sponsor agencies to address thechanging needs in our homeless population and agency capacity. We project to serve 715 households in the nextoperating year as follows: Caracole: 89; Excel: 413; OTRCH 73; Talbert House: 140. This is the single largest PSH projectin our continuum and it cannot exist without this funding.

Describe significant accomplishments in the last operating year (750-character limit):Provided housing and services for 1273 individuals in 936 households; 97% of clients remained in or exited to permanenthousing; increased our percentage of both chronically homeless and family intakes; served 129 families with 259children; served 31% more households than projected in the grant agreement (that’s 221 households!) with “grantsavings”, largely due to clients obtaining income and contributing toward their rent payments.

Carrie’s Place is a Permanent Supportive Housing project. The development is a combination of Sharp Village, an existing

36-unit scattered site apartment community, and two vacant buildings - 223 West 15th St (4 units) and 1630 Pleasant (3

units).

Sharp Village is comprised of 11 buildings, 4 new construction and 7 historic buildings, and was developed as affordable

housing in 1999 through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. 223 West 15th is one of OTRCH’s few remaining

vacant buildings and has been vacant for over five years. 1630 Pleasant is one of the City of Cincinnati owned properties

near Findlay Market. OTRCH has secured an award of 9% Tax Credits to rehab these properties.

We are seeking rental subsidy and support service funds for the 7 new units located at 223 W. 15th St. and 1630

Pleasant. 223 W. 15th is located behind the Jimmy Heath House (JHH) and across the street from new $550,000

townhomes. We envision the 223 W. 15th St. residents becoming a part of the JHH community of support. 1630 Pleasant

is one block from Findlay Market and will serve homeless families and will benefit from the East Clifton Homes

community of support.

Project Description (1000 character limit): CILO Permanent Housing Program (PHP) is designed to increase the ability of

chronically and newly homeless individuals and families with physical, sensory, cognitive and psychiatric disabilities to

access permanent supportive housing by providing deposit assistance, rental subsidies and supportive services. The

program provides 39 scattered-site rental units. Through case management and coordinated work with connections to

mainstream and homeless services, homeless persons in the program are able to develop the ability to live in permanent

housing independently. Individuals who are determined to be eligible for the program select their unit based on

location, type, and size from an extensive list of landlords we have developed or any choice of their own. All participants

are provided employment assessments to determine if they are capable of employment goals and what employable

skills they may have. Participants are given job training opportunities through the Center’s employment program or

through other community partnerships we have developed for on-the-job training sites. In addition, we provide pre-

employment training including resume writing, interviewing skills and computer skills.

Describe significant accomplishments in the last operating year (750-character limit): With a focus on providing

participants with access to mainstream benefits and opportunities for employment to increase their independence,

we successfully assisted fifteen participants in our PH program to obtain employment; Much of this success is

attributed to our weekly education and job training classes that include computer training, identifying personal

strengths and developing a resume, participating in mock interviews, and learning how to search for jobs. Through

our transitional employment program we educated and trained participants in a real work environment and

assisted them to learn how to be an employee. We also provided ongoing one-on-one assistance to our participants

to assist with developing the skills necessary for reaching self-sufficiency. Quarterly Job and Resource Fairs were

held at CILO with better than 50% of attendees being offered employment or enrolling in an education program.

Through our support services, we saw increased self-esteem and a positive outlook for the participants, a great

accomplishment for the population we serve.

We also exceeded our annual projections for the number of people we would serve providing assistance to 77%

more people than projected.

The 2009 Expansion Grant provides rental assistance to homeless individuals. The primary disability is substance abuse

(100%), with many also impacted by mental health diagnosis. This program creates stable housing and promotes self-

sufficiency for the target population. Alcohol and drug treatment and mental health case management services are

provided to clients supported on this grant by Talbert House and/or other behavioral health agencies through Hamilton

County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board. Talbert House assists in the housing search, works with landlords,

and ensures proper documentation is obtained, administers rent and security deposits and coordinates with service

providers.


The most significant accomplishment that has greatly impacted our program is the incorporation of the Harm Reduction

guidance of the Housing First Model. Our pre-score improved 11 points in one year. More importantly our housing

stability and income measures are a direct outcome from this movement. This program has refocused its efforts on

housing retention and increased functioning of the client based on need.
