Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Bridge Program Rapid Rehousing (Bridge Program) is a transitional housing program that allows homeless individuals to reside in a safe and stable environment that meets their daily needs for food and shelter while allowing them the opportunity to receive supportive services and to rebuild their lives.
The Bridge Program will be a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Housing Voucher look-alike program with the following structure:
The Bridge Program will be a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Housing Voucher look-alike program with the following structure:
- Participants will pay 30% of their income for housing after allowable deductions, which will help move these individuals toward self-sufficiency. Training and educational programs will be provided to increase participants’ self-sufficiency.
- A full-time licensed mental health specialist will be hired to meet the mental health and behavioral health needs of program participants as health needs can often be a barrier to acquiring and maintaining housing. The practitioner will work with other program staff to ensure that participants’ case management plans are manageable and achievable. Staff will have weekly case management meetings to help program participants move towards their housing goals as well as identify and address issues that prevent participants from achieving their housing goals. Program participant peer counselor will provide additional support.
- Bridge Program staff will also develop a landlord incentive program to encourage landlords to rent apartments to Bridge Program participants, as well as other individuals with housing vouchers. This incentive program will include a staff member trained in tenant readiness education to assist participants in establishing housing, damage protection insurance, and follow-up support for housed program participants as needed.
