Matching needs with projects – analysis of prioritization list
Those with lower barriers (VI-SDPAT scores 4-7) means more Rapid Re-housing “type” projects are needed. This could include CoC, EHH, TBRA, SSVF, or other local funds.
Those with medium or higher barriers (VI-SPDAT scores 8+) and not chronically homeless, means more Rapid Re-housing type projects with more intensive case management level services or alternative project structures are needed.
Those with medium or higher barriers (VI-SPDAT scores 8+) and chronically homeless, means more Permanent Supportive Housing projects are needed. This could include CoC, HUD-VASH, or other local funds.

Missing # months homeless
Missing Chronic homeless status
Realistic look at need at the Balance of State level:
Increase PSH units and/or enhance moving up strategies to free up units
HH w/out children ( = 592) HH w/children ( = 75) Total = 667 units
Increase RRH units with intensive case management (similar to PSH level if needed)
HH w/out children (897) HH w/children (226) Total = 1,123 units
Focus other RRH units on lower barrier (less than 12 mo of homeless, no disability)
HH w/out children (357) HH w/children (235) Total = 592 units
