description

On April 15-17, Housing California hosted its 2014 Annual Conference at the Sacramento Convention Center. The conference featured over 75 workshops and pre-conference institutes, exhibits, and networking events. It is anticipated that more than 1,000 people will attend. We are pleased to have taken part in the conference by facilitating a panel titled “Outlook on Pay for Success/Social Impact Bonds”—a panel that introduced Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) and discussed case studies pertaining to homelessness, recidivism, and workforce development. The panelists for this session included Jennifer LeSar, President and CEO of LeSar Development Consultants; Simonne Ruff, Director of the San Diego Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH); Caroline Whistler, Co-Founder and Partner of Third Sector Capital Partners; Gary Graves, COO of Santa Clara County, and Zachary Olmstead, Office of Speaker-elect Toni Atkins. Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) are an innovative social investment-financing tool that transfers program performance risk from funder to implementer. Use of SIBs has the potential to increase the effectiveness of government resources spent on social programs, put greater focus on demonstrable results, and incentivize innovation in social outcome delivery. The SIB model is designed to deliver improved and clearly demonstrated results while limiting public expenditures for failing programs. This panel introduced SIBs, discussed case studies pertaining to homelessness, recidivism, and workforce development. Our speakers provided the audience with insight on how SIBs can be utilized for their organizations.

Why Pay for Success in Santa Clara County?

• Creates an opportunity to move our contract process from outputs to outcomes

• Presents an opportunity to attract new revenue streams to address especially difficult social issues

• Creates the opportunity to focus attention on two major issue areas in Santa Clara County and design projects that will have an impact: Chronic Homelessness – Acute Mental Health Treatment Issues

Page 35: Outlook on Pay for Success / Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)

Important Lessons Learned

• A collaborative approach is critical with leadership from both Government and the community

• “Dual Path” – Pay for Success is worth pursuing even if it may be difficult to produce cashable savings. Improving outcomes is a worthy goal.

• Important for Government to be willing to commit time, resources and creativity to the process

Page 36: Outlook on Pay for Success / Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)

How do we Sustain and Grow PFS?

• Start with program areas where you have a strong sense you can be successful

• Always be looking for opportunities to apply PFS. Doing an initial landscape analysis can create a roadmap for future application.

• Highlight the benefits of designing adequate systems to measure and evaluate pay for success programs.

An Intriguing Tool for Legislators

• Strain on public resources persists despite improvement in economic climate

• Many competing interests for scarce public dollars• Need for a menu of new tools and resources in the new

post redevelopment era• Public-Private partnerships always a “buzzworthy”

concept• Desire to be in best position to keep investment at home

and take advantage of new funds as they become available

Page 39: Outlook on Pay for Success / Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)

Pending Legislation• Many bills indicate legislative interest in the topic:

• AB 1837 (Atkins)-Establishes Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development as lead entity to explore “social innovation financing”.

• SB 593 (Lieu)-Requires the Office of Planning and Research to create and manage a Social Impact Partnership Pilot Program.

Page 40: Outlook on Pay for Success / Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)

Pending Legislation• AB 495 (Campos)-Establishes the California Community

Investment Program within the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development to coordinate public sector financial investment and public programs to assist low-income communities to utilize “triple bottom-line” investment.

• AB 1456 (Jones Sawyer)-Creates the “Pay it Forward, Pay it Back Pilot Program”, using similar concept where a student’s tuition would be paid if they agree to pay a percentage of their future earnings upon graduation.

Page 41: Outlook on Pay for Success / Social Impact Bonds (SIBs)

What’s Next?• Fate of legislation

• Possible resources within state Budget?o Pilot programso Anti-Recidivism effortso Inclusion as an eligible model for existing funds?

• How state can best support local government efforts?
