VA Programs For Homeless Veterans

VA Programs For Homeless Veterans
VA’s specialized programs for homeless Veterans serve hundreds of thousands of homeless and at-risk Veterans each year.
The 2022-23 Budget: The Governor’s Homelessness Plan
Where possible, applicants will be encouraged to leverage funding from both CCE and BH‑CIP—as well as other sources—to deliver more comprehensive residential and behavioral health services to eligible populations. 

Homelessness Landscape Assessment 
Homelessness Assessment and Data System. The 2021‑22 budget provided $5.6 million one‑time General Fund for Cal ICH to contract with a vendor to conduct an analysis of homelessness service providers and programs at the local and state level. A statutorily mandated interim report is due to the Legislature July 1, 2022 and a final assessment is due by December 31, 2022. In addition, the budget provided $4 million one‑time General Fund to support further development of HDIS, which would allow the state to access and compile more standardized data collected by CoCs. While the HDIS system is now operational, Cal ICH indicates they will spend the first half of 2022 working to establish systemwide performance measures that will help the state and local jurisdictions better assess their progress toward preventing, reducing, and ending homelessness. Once these performances measures are finalized, Cal ICH anticipates updating the HDIS system to focus more on the outcomes of people accessing services throughout California.
Governor’s 2022‑23 Homelessness Proposals
Homelessness Package Proposes to Focuses on Near‑Team Needs. The Governor proposes $2 billion one‑time General Fund over two years that is intended to address near‑term homelessness needs while previously authorized funds for long‑term housing solutions are implemented. Below, we describe the two major homelessness proposals. 
Behavioral Health Bridge Housing 
Proposes Bridge Funding for Behavioral Health Housing. The budget proposes $1 billion General Fund in 2022‑23 and $500 million General Fund in 2023‑24 to address the immediate housing and treatment needs of people with complex behavioral health conditions. The funding would be administered by DHCS through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program established in the 2021‑22 budget. While key details are forthcoming, the administration indicates funds could be used differently than the existing program structure. For instance, funds could be used to purchase and install tiny homes and to provide time‑limited operational supports in these tiny homes or in other housing settings, including existing assisted living settings.

Update on Major Recent State Actions Addressing Homelessness 
In this section, we provide implementation updates for several of the major, recent homelessness augmentations. While Figure 3 shows that the major recent augmentations span four departments and an even larger number of programs, the 2021‑22 budget actually provided even more funding—a total of $7.2 billion ($3.3 billion General Fund)—to about 30 homelessness‑related programs in additional state departments that are not all shown in the figure. Beyond the various state housing departments, the 2021‑22 budget also funds homelessness programs in the human services, health, veterans, transportation, higher education, and emergency services areas of the budget. We are only highlighting the implementation status of the major augmentations in this section. 
Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAPP)
Flexible Aid to Local Entities. Since 2019‑20, the budget has authorized $2.95 billion General Fund in flexible aid to large cities (populations over 300,000), counties, Continuums of Care (CoCs)—local entities that administer housing assistance programs within a particular area, often a county or group of counties—and more recently to tribal governments through HHAPP to fund a variety of programs and services that address homelessness. Eligible uses include rapid rehousing, operating subsidies for existing supportive housing units, street outreach, service coordination, and permanent housing. Allocations to local entities generally are based on the local entity’s share of the homeless population. 
Budget‑related legislation has modified some HHAPP program features over time. Most significantly, the program has evolved to encourage coordination among local entities to address homelessness in their region and require local action plans that will facilitate assessing program performance and conducting oversight.
The 2022-23 Budget: The Governor’s Homelessness Plan
Despite this progress, the scale of the homelessness crisis in California is significant and continued work and resources will be necessary to address the state’s homelessness challenges. We suggest the Legislature dedicate the early part of the budget process to overseeing the implementation of last year’s significant homelessness augmentations. Additionally, the state authorized significant funding last year for programs the Governor now proposes for additional augmentation. In both cases, it is too early to know how these programs have performed. As the Legislature moves forward in its efforts to address homelessness, we suggest considering how to balance the state‑local relationship and identify a predictable funding strategy that aligns with the balance of responsibilities between the state and local governments.
