This evaluation of Minnesota's Community Application Agent (MNCAA) program from 2008-2012 found that:
- The number of MNCAA organizations and applications submitted grew significantly in early years but has since tapered off, with a small group of organizations submitting most applications.
- Most applications now come from healthcare organizations, rather than other types of community organizations.
- While overall enrollment success was around 65%, there were long waits for both clients and MNCAAs receiving bonus payments.
- MNCAAs valued access to timely case status updates the most. However, a $25 bonus per enrollee was seen as an insufficient incentive to engage more community organizations.

This document summarizes key aspects of health care reform related to homeless families and youth. It discusses how the Affordable Care Act expands Medicaid eligibility for youth and reduces costs for families. It then provides details on Medicaid eligibility categories and coverage groups impacted by the reforms. The rest of the document outlines core Medicaid concepts, different means of covering services including waivers and managed care, and concludes with an overview of Louisiana's permanent supportive housing program.
This document summarizes a workshop on retooling transitional housing programs into rapid re-housing models. The workshop included presentations from providers who have successfully made this transition. They discussed the challenges they faced, such as resistance to change from staff and partners, and the solutions they implemented, like developing new screening and employment assistance components. Presenters emphasized the importance of communication, aligning with community plans, and evaluating outcomes when retooling programs. Retooling requires considering funding, staffing, housing issues, and starting a pilot program before fully implementing changes. Overall, the presentations showed how transitional housing can effectively transition to serving more families through a rapid re-housing model.
The Fusion Project is directed by Kim Wirth and focuses on supporting vulnerable youth through building relationships. It utilizes a theory of change that supports youth to meet basic needs, build relationship skills, and reconnect with family/community for long-term self-sufficiency. The program is relationship-focused, invites voluntary engagement, aims to be authentic and youth/family-led, and inspires change through living its values. Preliminary outcomes show a reduction in homelessness and increased natural supports for youth after engaging with the program.
The document discusses programs and services provided by the LA Gay & Lesbian Center to support homeless LGBTQ youth. It notes that around 6,000 youth experience homelessness in LA County each year, and 40% of homeless youth in Hollywood identify as LGBTQ. The Center provides emergency housing, a transitional living program, independent apartments, and youth development programs focused on education, employment, and permanent connections. Services are trauma-informed and use positive youth development approaches. Outcomes include over 300 youth served annually, with many obtaining education, jobs, housing and community support. The RISE project also aims to improve permanency outcomes for LGBTQ foster youth.
This document summarizes a presentation on the impact of budget cuts to housing assistance programs. It discusses how the Budget Control Act led to automatic spending cuts (sequestration) that have significantly reduced funding for programs like housing vouchers. As a result, hundreds of thousands fewer families are receiving housing assistance. Advocates are urged to contact members of Congress to emphasize how cuts threaten efforts to end homelessness and ask that housing programs be prioritized in any budget deal. Restoring funding could help maintain assistance for vulnerable groups and prevent increased homelessness.

Avenues for Homeless Youth operates four programs in the Twin Cities that provide shelter and transitional housing for over 200 homeless youth per year. The programs include a shelter in North Minneapolis, as well as GLBT, suburban, and Minneapolis host home programs. Host homes provide a safe, stable transitional housing option at 50% lower cost than congregate housing. They aim to build long-term supportive relationships critical for youth success. The host home model places homeless youth with volunteer community members who are trained and supported by program managers.
This document describes a learning collaborative hosted by EveryOne Home in Alameda County, California to improve their homeless assistance system. The collaborative was called the EveryOne Housed Academy and brought together staff from homeless services organizations over two days. The goals were to develop a shared understanding of housing first and rapid rehousing approaches, align around common language and tools, and create customized implementation plans to help organizations move more people quickly into permanent housing. Guiding principles for effective learning collaboratives that were followed included making topics concrete and practical, creating space for ongoing learning and application, and unlocking new possibilities through a collaborative process.
This document summarizes a presentation on advocating for policy priorities at the state level. It discusses:
- Why state advocacy is important, such as educating leaders, directing policy and resources, and building coalitions.
- Examples of state advocacy from North Carolina and Minnesota, including securing Medicaid funding for permanent supportive housing in NC and forming a coalition called "Homes for All" in MN to pass affordable housing legislation.
- Tools for effective state advocacy, such as using data to tell a story, developing strategic advocacy plans, and setting priorities at the state level by focusing on key audiences and policy asks.
