In conjunction with a group of cities from across the country, the Alliance created its first “Quarterly Leadership Council HPRP Report.” The report examines information on how 11 cities across the nation are spending their Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) funds, as well as the results of their January 2009 point-in-time counts.

The report concludes that family homelessness is up slightly (6 percent) across the 11 communities.

In addition to the latest available data on the homeless population in theses 11 communities, the report examines:

• Jobs created/saved
• HPRP program emphasis (dollars allocated to prevention vs. rapid re-housing)
• Prevention progress
• Rapid re-housing progress

Collectively, the communities have used HPRP funds have created 505 full-time exempt jobs to date and have already spent $10.4 million, or just over 6 percent of their total grant allocation.



The report is based on the data submitted to the federal government for October to December 2009. The report includes data from Chicago, IL; Columbus, OH; Denver, CO; Houston/Harris County, TX; Miami-Dade, FL; Minneapolis/Hennepin County, MN; New York, NY: Philadelphia, PA; Portland, OR; San Francisco, CA; and Seattle, WA.
