The document summarizes the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program. It requests $332 million for 2015 to provide housing assistance and supportive services to over 52,000 low-income households living with HIV/AIDS. Ninety percent of funds are distributed by formula to states and cities, and 10% are competitive grants. The program provides various housing options and aims to improve health outcomes and reduce costs by promoting housing stability for this vulnerable population.
The document discusses several key issues related to affordable housing:
1) Affordable housing shortages negatively impact millions of Americans who spend over 30% of their income on housing costs.
2) Factors like housing quality, location, cost, and sustainability must be considered to ensure housing remains affordable over decades.
3) A lack of affordable housing can negatively impact public health and children's development through increased stress and frequent moving.
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.
The presentation summarized the District of Columbia's approach to affordable and mixed-income housing. It discussed defining affordable housing, population growth driving the need for more units, tools used to finance development like tax incentives and the Housing Production Trust Fund, and innovative programs promoting mixed-use development and tenant ownership. Challenges included slow delivery of inclusionary zoning units due to the economy and lack of staff to monitor affordability requirements. Moving forward, the mayor committed $287 million in additional funding with a goal of producing 10,000 affordable units by 2020.

This document summarizes the results of a study on community-based piped water supply organizations in Indonesia. It finds that while such organizations have expanded access, many struggle with operations and maintenance. A proposed new approach would provide microloans to high-potential organizations to expand, introduce service agreements between local governments and organizations, and explore limited contracts with private sector entities to provide technical support and financing to help organizations scale up. This aims to transition organizations toward greater financial viability and sustainability while further increasing water access across Indonesia.

The estimated contribution of urban area to India’s GDP is approximately 70-75%. Despite the enormous economic contribution, the current state of urban infrastructure is in poor condition. It is estimated that by 2030, an additional $1.2 trillion would be required to provide basic urban services. In this presentation, an attempt has been made to find out the ways to mobilize such a goliath financial requirement. The target audience of this presentation are inter alia urban development and finance professionals, city managers and general public.
The document discusses Eugene's affordable housing strategy and challenges. It outlines that housing costs have risen much faster than incomes, burdening many residents. Eugene aims to increase affordable housing supply, preserve existing affordable units, and create housing for special needs groups. The city uses landbanking to promote equitable distribution of affordable housing. Landbanked sites have supported over 800 affordable units. However, the supply of affordable housing is not keeping up with growing needs, and serving the homeless population has become challenging. The city sees opportunities to better coordinate housing plans through new comprehensive planning efforts and partnerships across sectors.
How to target your Discretionary Housing Payments wellPolicy in Practice
It's hard for local authorities to be sure that support is reaching the households that need help the most. We know that 9 in 10 applications for a Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) are successful, yet only 1 in 5 households that need a DHP apply. We help local authorities carry out a full needs assessment, as recommended by the DWP, using housing benefit data to create insights that will make council's DHP funds go further.
In this webinar we looked at levels of financial resilience and the need for Discretionary Housing Payments. We were joined by Ellie Kershaw, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, who spoke about how they spend DHP money in line with their local priorities and how they're raising awareness and increasing referrals from those in need.

Global Food Security Challenges and Opportunities: the new role of agricultureShenggen Fan
Global food security faces complex challenges such as food price volatility, population growth, and climate change. A comprehensive strategy is needed to address these challenges and protect the poor. Agriculture, especially small-scale farming, must play a new role in achieving broader development outcomes such as improving nutrition, promoting climate change adaptation, building conflict resilience, and narrowing gender gaps.
Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.
IIED hosts Critical Themes meetings to explore new ideas, introduce new research and broaden the knowledge of its staff.

In between the obvious risks from crop failures and livestock epidemics, and food contamination at the retail level, are food security issues and risks that run through the entire food supply chain. Because there are so many interconnected threads in food security, it is important for insurers to have a grasp of the entire picture.
The Regional Homeless Profile (RHP) is biennial (every two years), broad-based analysis of homelessness in the San Diego region. Data in the RHP includes: the AHAR (Annual Homeless Assessment Report) and the Point-In-Time Count (PITC). The RHP also includes summary counts of the 18 incorporated cities in San Diego County.
The document summarizes efforts in Dayton-Montgomery County, Ohio to prevent homelessness through affordable housing development and emergency financial assistance programs. It discusses the results of prevention programs targeting families at risk of homelessness and analyses of clients not enrolled to help improve targeting. The Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program served over 800 households and saw high shelter needs during the recession. Future prevention may focus on narrow targeting and rapid rehousing with new Emergency Solutions Grant funding requirements.
The document discusses issues faced by homeless people in Australia. It notes that around 100,000 Australians are estimated to be homeless on a given night, including young people, families, those with mental illnesses or substance abuse issues. The homeless have significant needs like housing, healthcare, education and employment assistance but lack resources to access these services. Improving access to support services can help the homeless gain housing and skills to exit homelessness.
PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) conducted a survey of the homeless in downtown San Diego. Results are shared in areas of demographics, personal history, access to services, and more.
The document discusses the challenges of climate change for agriculture and food security. It argues that resources and research need to focus on helping poor rural communities adapt. International climate agreements could impact food security depending on how agriculture is treated and funds are allocated. The document proposes specific policy actions and Copenhagen agreement language around incentivizing agricultural mitigation, increasing adaptation investment, and establishing a public technology network focused on climate-smart agriculture.
There are three main groups of homeless people: those without housing, those in constant poverty moving frequently, and those who lost housing due to sudden circumstances. Homelessness is caused by both structural factors like changes in housing and job markets as well as personal factors like victimization, mental illness, and low education. A shortage of affordable housing and lack of health insurance exacerbate homelessness. Over 3.5 million people experience homelessness annually in the US, including 1.35 million children, and resources are inadequate to meet the high demand for shelter.
This presentation is all about highlighting present scenario of food security in India and the Issues and challenges it is facing. Furthermore, some of the pragmatic measures have been given so as to make India a food secure nation.
Inclusionary zoning programs require that new market-rate housing developments include a portion of units affordable to lower-income households. Over 800 jurisdictions in the US have adopted inclusionary zoning. Key aspects of effective programs include whether requirements are mandatory or voluntary, the percentage and income levels of affordable units, and compliance options for developers. Research shows that well-designed inclusionary zoning can produce affordable housing without significantly impacting overall housing production or price increases, though local housing market conditions are also important factors. Ongoing challenges include mitigating displacement and adjusting long-standing programs.
Hearth, Inc. is a nonprofit organization focused on ending elder homelessness. It operates housing and services programs for older adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Hearth partners with social service agencies and provides supportive housing, which combines affordable housing with health and social services. Supportive housing models have proven successful in helping vulnerable populations live stable lives. As the Massachusetts population ages over the next 20 years, issues like poverty, lack of affordable housing, and high living costs will continue to impact many older residents without adequate retirement or social security income. Hearth addresses these challenges through developing affordable housing communities that integrate services to support residents' well-being.

Responding to rural family homelessness is complicated by problems of identifying homeless families and allocating scarce resources across wide service areas. Rural communities across the country have made significant progress in reducing family homelessness and increasing the effectiveness of their Continuums of Care (CoC). This workshop will profile the strategies of effective rural programs and communities and identify how these strategies can facilitate successful HEARTH implementation.
The Pinellas County Housing Authority (PCHA) is the largest public housing agency in Pinellas County, Florida. It was established in 1965 and is governed by a five member board appointed by the governor. PCHA owns and manages 1756 rental units and provides housing assistance to 3117 additional families. Its annual budget is $38 million and it employs 74 people. PCHA's mission is to provide safe, quality, and affordable housing opportunities for families in need and cultivate healthy neighborhoods in Pinellas County.
In 2003, a coalition of over 110 organizations in Philadelphia saw the need to address the city's affordable housing crisis and proposed establishing a Housing Trust Fund. The coalition made the case for the fund by presenting data on the number of cost-burdened households and lack of affordable units. In 2005, state legislation was passed allowing Philadelphia to collect fees to capitalize a fund. The city ordinance established the fund's guidelines. Since 2006, the Philadelphia Housing Trust Fund has committed over $45 million to expand affordable housing and leverage over $234 million, helping over 8,000 low-income households.
Integrated housing models provide affordable housing for a swath of income levels and supportive housing for clients with mental or physical health disabilities. This workshop will examine several model types for integrated housing. Speakers will also discuss the funding and development on this type of housing model.
Utilize Housing Government Grants to Fulfill Your Dream of HomeownershipAmericas Got Grants
In a nation grappling with the ongoing challenge of affordable housing, the availability of Housing Government Grants emerges as a beacon of hope for individuals striving to achieve the dream of homeownership. Operating through entities like the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the federal government recognizes the critical importance of providing accessible housing solutions.
The document outlines the Oregon Recovery Homes program which provides loans, technical assistance, and outreach support to establish self-run recovery homes.

Providing stable housing and employment helps recovering individuals succeed while benefiting communities through economic activity and reduced crime.
This document discusses increasing funding for youth housing through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It notes that federal funding for general affordable housing is much higher than funding specifically for youth housing. The HEARTH Act expanded HUD's definition of homelessness to include more youth and increased funding for homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing. The new funding rules provide greater flexibility to fund services like transitional housing that support homeless youth.

This document summarizes rapid re-housing, a model that aims to move households experiencing homelessness into permanent housing quickly with short-term financial assistance and case management. It outlines the history and development of rapid re-housing in the US beginning in the late 2000s. Research shows rapid re-housing is effective, with over 75% of participants exiting to permanent housing and rates of returning to homelessness ranging from 10-16%. The core components of rapid re-housing are identified as housing identification, rent and move-in assistance, and rapid re-housing case management and services.
This document discusses housing issues facing transition-aged youth aging out of foster care. It provides data showing thousands of youth age out of foster care each year and experience high rates of homelessness.

This document provides information about the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program. It discusses who is at risk of homelessness among veterans and the challenges of prevention efforts. Key points include that 10% of veterans in poverty become homeless each year, and rates are higher for Hispanic/Latino and African American veterans. Younger veterans aged 18-30 also face higher risks. Nearly half of all homeless veterans are located in just four states. The document outlines eligible services and financial assistance provided through SSVF to help veterans obtain and maintain permanent housing.

Executive Summary of The Ending Homelessness Act of 2016Street Sense Media
The Ending Homelessness Act of 2016 would appropriate $13.27 billion over 5 years to provide emergency relief funding to address homelessness. The bill would fund McKinney-Vento homeless assistance grants to provide 85,000 new housing units and eliminate chronic homelessness. It would also provide 295,000-300,000 new housing vouchers and create 25,000 new affordable rental units. The bill aims to implement a holistic strategy with funding for outreach, case management, and technical assistance to align healthcare and housing strategies. It would permanently authorize McKinney-Vento and the Interagency Council on Homelessness.
Housing is considered affordable when total housing costs do not exceed 30% of a household's monthly income. This includes rent/mortgage payments and utilities. Affordable housing must preserve existing affordable units, make housing more affordable and available, promote diversity, and help families build wealth while linking to supportive services and balanced growth. Factors limiting affordable housing production include land and construction costs, zoning laws, and community reaction. Housing policies must promote healthy families and communities. Examples of policies include the Local Housing Allowance in the UK and rental assistance programs in the United States. While rural housing is assumed to be affordable, costs of living can be high with lower incomes.
The VA provides several programs to help homeless veterans, including the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program. SSVF provides grants to organizations to help very low-income veteran families obtain or maintain permanent housing. Eligible organizations can use grant funds for outreach, case management, assistance obtaining benefits, and temporary financial assistance. The goal is to rapidly rehouse homeless veterans or prevent imminent homelessness.
The document discusses issues related to providing affordable housing for low-income groups in India. It notes that while India's housing finance sector has grown rapidly, this growth has not been inclusive of the poor. There is a large estimated housing shortage, with over 99% in urban and over 90% in rural areas needed for low-income households. Key challenges include the lack of access to financing for poor households, high costs of land and construction, and the need to develop new financial products and policy frameworks to better support affordable housing. Government initiatives aim to address these issues through various subsidy programs but continuing challenges remain around supply, affordability, and developing innovative financing solutions.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
