This report illustrates how 13 cities across the nation are implementing the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). Data from the following cities are included in this quarterly report: Chicago, IL; Columbus and Franklin County, OH; Denver, CO; Los Angeles, CA; Miami-Dade, FL; Minneapolis and Hennepin County, MN; New Orleans, LA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Portland, OR; San Francisco, CA; Seattle and King County, WA; Washington, DC. Overall Program Spending As of June 30, 2010, Leadership Council cities have spent $28.7 million of $124.9 million in allocated prevention funding and $12.5 million of $81.6 million in allocated rapid re-housing funding. While communities continue to spend their rapid re-housing allocations more slowly than their prevention allocations, the pace of quarterly rapid re-housing spending has increased each quarter.
Program Progress - Persons Served and Money Spent Approximately $28.4 million has been spent through June 2010 on homelessness prevention for 57,220 people at risk of homelessness and $12.5 million has been spent to rapidly re-house 35,135 people experiencing homelessness. Both Washington, DC and Miami, FL have spent almost 75 percent of their prevention allocations. Minneapolis and Los Angeles are unique among the cities in having served more persons with rapid re-housing resources than with prevention resources.  Elements of Financial Assistance and Housing Relocation Prevention and rapid re-housing services provided through HPRP fall into two broad categories: financial assistance services or housing relocation and stabilization services. Individuals and families receive a combination of financial assistance and housing relocation assistance, depending on program design and need. Rental assistance and security and utility deposits are the most common forms of financial assistance. Case management and housing search and placement are the most common forms of housing relocation assistance. Motel vouchers and credit repair services are the services least provided.
Note: The use of non-HPRP funds for financial assistance in New York accounts for the seemingly low rate of financial assistance provision.
Outcomes – Exit to Permanent Housing Over 92,000 people have been served by rapid re-housing and prevention programs in the Leadership Council cities. Of the 24,352 that have exited from prevention programs, at least 18,033 (74 percent) have been discharged to permanent housing. Of the 28,164 who have exited from rapid re-housing programs, at least 27,172 (97 percent) have been discharged to permanent housing.
