A ., I copy of this request is attached. The request contains the $2.4 million to cover land, design, and construction costs in excess of the funds previously allocated by the Board of County "+ Commissioners. The HIP also requested that any remaining funds be used for facility operations r' or for the construction of a second HIP-selected homeless assistance center. z In mid-August the County Commission will host a workshop to review this and other funding ` yz requests. The workshop will provide the HIP an opportunity to address the Commission on this I * I x{ {! issue. Staff will notify you of the exact date, time and location of the workshop. "{ P As I mentioned to you in an earlier memorandum, the County's commitment to the first HIP- selected facility and the Broward County Homeless Initiative Plan includes in-kind services, y r capital improvement dollars, continuation and expansion of the County's Homeless Case a, Mona ement Pro ram, and other County resources. Solving this complex issue, however, requires ' g g I ) :t a community-wide effort. Therefore, it is essential for the HIP to obtain similar commitments from other private and public sources. Broward County cannot solve this problem alone. For this is b ?I�`r partnership to be a true and effective one, County funding must be leveraged with other private and public resources. Without a true partnership, our effort to solve homelessness in Broward rf County becomes much more difficult. Please do not hesitate to call me or Roberto Hernandez if you have any questions. �Y h Attachment cc:John Canada,Office of Budget&Management Policy r ' Homeless Initiative Partnership Advisory Board Members l i 1 r , � r # , , r KCH:RH/rh a:\rnemorand\limdrgst.Nvpd rv, ;. 9 T' w�i t 4r"n3 BROWARD COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS—An Equal Opportunity Employer and Provider of Services t V Scott I.

R 1 j Homeless Assistance Center Overview The Broward County Initiative: Working Together to Address Homelessness Broward County Homeless Initiative Partnership Advisory Board ❖ DESCRIPTION ` 5. A Homeless Assistance Center provides a secure place for a homeless person to begin a program which will allow them to end their period of homelessness and begin a plan for self-sufficiency. 'k The center will also provide emergency assistance to those at-risk of becoming homeless. After the initial intake and assessment the homeless individual will begin a plan that allows them to use the center as a temporary home for seven to thirty days until they can be referred to transitional or ^� J permanent housing. c . k� ,' '•y ❖ BASIC DESIGN CRITERIA '% 'r The basic design criteria for selecting an appropriate shelter site include: � T r` 4 f Sf r Free standing building between 20,000-40,000 square feet; • Fenced outdoor space and/or day room for recreation; M r > Sufficient office space for administration and services; Proximity to public transportation, social services and convenient to the clientele; � .� Not immediately adjacent to or surrounded by residential or retail areas. y G ' " 4• PROPOSED SERVICES S , . a ' Temporary Housing In an attempt to create a comprehensive plan for the homeless, a 100-bed temporary shelter ` facility created for a short stay of seven to thirty days is needed in the north, central, and south ; t parts of Broward County. This facility could be used by clients for a longer period of time4 ' 4 Uy tp depending upon the availability of transitional housing and the client's plan progress. The facility [ would offer the following: t„ ? Free unrestricted access; 1 e Immediate shelter available 24 hours per day; At least two meals a day; Clothing and shower facilities; On site health clinic; Case management and counseling services; i Immediate assessment and individualized care; [ 2 }A �,�; r ,'. • Triage services dra , u ir1 �yp'i}fe�ry`Kr l�it kr .r Xy�. t , 1 i r . i I l ' s_ Homeless Assistance Center Overview Y" x ► Supportive Services i To provide comprehensive care for the client, commitments from nonprofit and public service providers will be required.

After further review, however, we v f determined that Commission action was not required and we requested its removal from the I` Agenda. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the Homeless Initiative Plan on December 7 1993. No changes to the Plan have been approved by the Commission since the Plan's adoption. Commission approval is necessary only if a revision or update is recommended. In this particular y,r , instance, the HIP did not recommend a revision; instead, it affirmed that the specific elements of r�•w r i the Plan continue to meet the needs of the homeless and the community at large. Thus, t readoption is not needed. For that reason, staff removed this recommendation from further t , Commission action. Attached is a copy of staffs correspondence to Commissioner John Rodstrom advising him of i your action related to the Plan, t t: r, .'

I have forwarded your letter to the Advisory Board's Siting 1 Committee to consider when evaluating this site. r In addition, I have attached an overview of the planned homeless assistance center. This facility ' will provide a safe and secure place for a homeless person to receive temporary housing and fi rya,u ryJ` support services in order to become self-sufficient and eventually obtain permanent housing Contrary to popular belief, this facility is not a"homeless shelter" which basically provides a cot r k' and meals to anyone off of the street. This facility is not designed to house the chronically 41 homeless who refuse support services and who are looking for a place to sleep. Instead, this a secure facility would provide temporary housing for a period of seven to thirty days with required ?. . ; support services such as employment services,job training, and health care offered on site. Once 2 a person completes an assigned plan, the individual would be referred to transitional or permanent housing. r, I invite you to voice your concerns to the members of the Siting Committee. Their next publics � yi xY meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 23, 1996 at 3:00 P.M. in room 302 of the Broward County ^ } Governmental CenteP. t r If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 357-6375. 1.

'T r� We are located around the corner from one of the proposed sites for a homeless shelter (S.W. 26th Terrac very concerned about the safety of our employees and our : y ! r property, plus the general appearance and cleanliness of the ' area if this site is chosen for the shelter. We are aware n �' that businesses close to the current homeless site have been broken into and robbed of miscellaneous items, including ' electrical wiring and metals, which are present in our facility also. `. If this site is chosen, Uniweld will be forced to bring in 24 hour security to protect its employees and its property. This is an unnecessary expense with which to burden a company. This area includes the Marina Mile district and many other ` ` �+,5 '• businesses including the airport, which is planning tN additional expansion in this area. This is a growing Utz" industrial area that will be permanently set back, including i% damaging the tax base. -. r~` We urge you to take these issues into consideration and eliminate S.W. 26th Terrace as a possible site for the homeless shelter. We look forward to receiving your response t to the above mentioned issues. { Sincerely, Douglas earl ? Vice-President F^ ' `4 G DBP/psr i x y L r a Y- "�'ri Puri —.

Acknowledgments 39 f Appendix: BCH position paper on enclosed Homeless Assistance Centers !, li ITRODUC71CAI m. r ,r This paper compiles and summarizes many years of thoughts, research and work on establishing t ; an effective continuum of care for the homeless in Broward County. It expands on "A Plan for t Action on Behalf of the Homeless," approved and adopted by the Broward County Commission and ` t the Broward Coalition for the Homeless, Inc. It also serves to update and supplement the 1993 t ' Broward County Task Force for the Homeless base report. a This document also provides a working plan for the improvement of Broward's Continuum of Care j,+ for the homeless. It serves as a common point of reference for service providers and provides o; background information on issues related to homeless services. r rj i�l,txr Current services are assessed and inventoried in a comprehensive manner. Gaps in services are Ith identified and discussion is offered on the history, underlying causes and possible remedies for ' !; those gaps. An accompanying chart provides an overview of this system. An appendix provides ' additional details on service providers within the Continuum and can serve a dual function as a case manager's or outreach worker's handbook. One section focuses on a theme found in all the others: linking existing and new services in such a way that homeless persons can move through a real continuum towards self-sufficiency. Hence, the title: "Building Bridges." Finally, action steps, a time line and tasking assignments for implementing recommendations, once adopted, are included. - ;Fl '�O'< L��rS3i"'L ✓+ t �v 4yY s fr1�4•df�,f i5r i,t ift1 �� pp y. t �yF vrn� tl , n 1t t air Ilk Sip WARD COJI`I'r'I There are 1.3 million people living in the 1,200 square miles that comprise Broward County, FL. Roughly half of the land in the county is devoted to Everglades conservation. The other half includes some 28 different cities which initially developed along the Atlantic coast and have spread west in recent years. According to the Broward Coalition for the Homeless 1995 Annual Survey there are more than 6,000 homeless persons within our communities. While the homeless can be found throughout Broward from the beach to the Everglades most tend to congregate in the older urban centers of Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood. I I Attraction to urban centers is typical of homeless populations in any area of the United States. 'N"! Most reports and studies on Broward's homeless tend to divide the county into three areas: North, l 11" from the county line to Commercial Blvd., Central, from Commercial Blvd. to State Road 84, and South, from Griffin Road to the county line. These divisions roughly correspond to the urban centers: Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, respectively. k � {{ The 1996 Annual Survey reveals the following characteristics of Broward's homeless: Central Broward County 67.43% Other 4.2°k G.E.D. 13,8% North Broward County 23.61% ! r p College Education 17.0°h € South Broward County 8.39% 13-17 years old 2.7% Associates 5.2°h 18-34 years old 32.1% Bachelors o t'- 4.8/° >.

Ways of providing outreach include: drop-in centers where food, showers and laundry facilities, and counselors are available, discharge planning from hospitals and jails, hotlines, police referrals, inducements of sandwiches, blankets, etc., and transportation. An initial survey has identified in excess of 53 feeding programs, food pantries, clothing banks or 4^ various churches and temples that prepare and distribute meals to the homeless throughout Broward County. These programs may provide their services on a daily or weekly basis, from fixed locations or by going to where the homeless congregate. On any given day and especially on holidays there are perhaps dozens, if not scores, of dedicated volunteers providing meals, groceries, encouragement, counseling and prayers for homeless people. These efforts provide essential emergency services and are often the first, compassionate, < IT contact with a homeless person. In addition, there are professional outreach workers trained to identify homeless mentally ill people and attempt to link them with services. There are also AIDS workers and educators doing outreach ;; t to HIV+ homeless persons or the illiterate respectively. y t r , r.! Broward County has day shelters and drop-in safe havens for the homeless and the homeless i a mentally ill. A variety of supportive services are often provided from these locations including, but " not limited to: shower facilities, reading glasses, identification, use of telephones, belongings n storage, on-site health care, counseling, assessment and referrals, mailing addresses and voter 4 t registration. Recently the South Broward Hospital district opened a psychiatric emergency room to assist in stabilizing patients in crisis and if possible avoiding hospitalization. One informant reported 39 different churches which provide some means of transportation r_ ? assistance including bus passes and tokens or gas vouchers. 1 '7 Following is a listing of these outreach efforts. 4 .' 1 ' s OUTREACH "SNAPSHOT" MAY 1996 41 ( Agency Service St. Laurence Chapel Day shelter and support services for the homeless a 6 � r � h ny1 t : m r , A 4% x 1 r ' j t , i 't r. i P � f P A enc Service Gateway Community Outreach Support services, food pantry and clothing ministries y Our Fathers House Soup Kitchen Daily meals and some support services > fI I Faith Community Meals/ Pantries/Clothing provided by: Cathedral Ministries 1st Baptist Church of Pompano Metro Life Christian Center v 1} x r, t { . t ! u, 1 l bA iriSN N f^ flly e��^"iy A enc Service ' Y' Henderson Homeless Outreach Outreach to homeless mentally ill. x• ,, xa f Psi ` Broward House Outreach, education, crisis counseling, info. & referral for homeless HIV+ persons j2 Y % PEER Center Drop-in center for chronically mentally ill i s51 Cooperative Feeding Program Meals and support services Salvation Army Meals, support services k Love Thy Neighbor Meals & support services Faith Community Meals/ Pantries/Clothing Provided by: Christian Life Center Good News Church St. Thomas High School St. Bonaventure Church rf ^r 1 st Assembly of God Christ Church United Methodist Abundant Life Full Gospel Church r ' 1 . s 4 Love Ministry Living Faith Ministry Church of God of Prophesy Ft.

On closer inspection, however, there are significant gaps in the Continuum of Care: r•" rirl r '� r'I h : t1 r `: �s r ) h 4+t y t V yN��r�4 Mil' b V. I r pp , �yx ram, t� Ty,az� yly az'.'�t ` yi�gT ,• yi Y#r�` a rl S fig.. f i A) Due to a critical lack of emergency shelter beds (identified in the next section) most of the homeless who are regularly fed, clothed and counseled return to the streets from which they came, until the next meal time. B) Even with the current limited number of shelter beds, there are few formal links between outreach workers and emergency shelters. Other than by calling to make special arrangements, or unless the outreach worker and shelter have some affiliation, the client being reached out to has no guarantee of a bed placement beyond being first in line. Also, many outreach workers would benefit by additional training on existing services and how to link clients with them. C) Existing centralized intake and tracking systems need to be improved. Such systems help to prevent duplication of services and help clients to become self-sufficient rather than continually subsisting on emergency help. First Call for Help and Broward County Human Services Department > (HSD) have the beginnings of such a system. ,tl 5 I It is the stated intention of HSD to upgrade its system and Broward County Strategic Goal #12, I objective 3 is consistent with creating a unified county-wide data base on clients and services, Such a system is also consistent with the goals of the Resources Coordinating Council Access ;, + r Committee. f . It should be noted that the Interfaith Council of Greater Hollywood in collaboration with the Greater Hollywood Task Force for the Homeless have received a grant of$25,000 from the Robert Wood t Johnson Foundation to help better coordinate homeless services in South Broward. <- £ D) Local hospitals and other institutions often discharge homeless persons without making r . adequate arrangements to prevent that person from ending up back on the street. A patient might I, even be discharged and transported to an emergency shelter without the discharge planner knowingwhether there is an available bed. Broward Count Strategic Goal #12 objective 3 seeks y 9• � 1 _ ° to strengthen discharge and after care planning. > Outreach and linkage to a shelter bed is the first rung of the Continuum of Care. Without effective access to emergency shelter, the client is without a base of operations to job hunt. After a certain amount of time many clients begin to identify themselves more as homeless than human. This is r'" a the point at which hopelessness, chronicity and "street psychosis" sets in. t , I i 4' F g f Y z A ,- ,4�ytYi �I� �� Y } t5 h w I i 1 r y' IMMEDIATE PLAN 1199 997 r OAI S y 1.

Broward County has $2.4 million in reserve for the establishment of one or more new 100-150 bed emergency shelters or homeless assistance centers (HACs) offering one stop locations for a variety of services. A detailed description of HACs can be found on pages 16 and 17 of the 1993 y: Task Force Report. Also see Appendix for BCH position paper on HACs. The site selection committee of the Homeless Initiative Partnership (HIP) Advisory Board is in the process of advertising for proposals for suitable sites and plans to present final recommendations ` to the Broward County I;. my Commission no later than September 1996. Broward County Strategic Goal { #12, objective 1 calls for the opening of new HACs by December 1997. Currently, there are 344 emergency shelter beds to serve more than 5,000 homeless persons in Broward County, according to the 1995 Survey by the Broward Coalition for the Homeless. ' ` i 7 ' EMERGENCY SHELTER "SNAPSHOT" MAy 1996 i The largest multi-purpose emergency shelter is The Salvation Army in Ft. Lauderdale. This facility a can house 166 men, women and children. Emergency beds are available on a first-come-first- served basis with a length of stay of two nights (5-14 days for a family).y) Thirty four beds offer _. longer lengths of stay (up to 60 days) to those able to document employment, those able to pay $8 per night, the temporarily physically impaired or those in substance abuse treatment. Families " i needing additional time may be referred to the Army's transitional phase in South Broward, for up to 24 months. Additionally, Women in Distress offers emergency shelter for 54 abused women and their children. Covenant House targets runaway and throwaway 9 y y youths with 104 beds and support services for those under 21. The Lippman shelter offers 20 beds for up to 2 weeks for kids 12 to 17 years of I age who are in crisis and homeless. All of these facilities are in Central Broward. Progress has been made in South Broward with the October 1993 approval by the Hollywood City Commission of a site for a new shelter to serve that area. Projected to open in December 1996, this facility will initially provide 41 emergency shelter beds to men, women and at least one family. It will also provide an in-house 19 bed transitional phase for motivated clients along with support services. Bed numbers may increase in the future with City Commission approval. ,tt,'ta�t�� i F �• 3 f Q�V �� ? b�'1'1 •. antoal�°Iti'piN �}SJR sY y� t z f p tIM Af Jt'Y\V I I t ` 1pt., ' - G7S+"r.�?a. , ._ .. :. .,,...'.:; no-• Y Ir 1 I{ To re-cap the inventory of available shelter beds in Broward County: None available currently I A enc Beds/Units Taroet Groupn j Salvation Army 132 Homeless (multiple sub-groups) 'F Lippman Shelter 20 Youth 12-17 Covenant House 104 Youth under 21 Y Women In Distress 54 i Shelter for Abused Women , 1 1 t t I l None available currently , Total beds/units 310 h ; ,e e t BRIDGING THE GAPS In July, 1993, the City of Ft. Lauderdale erected a fenced-in tent for the homeless in one of its public parks. The tent was raised partially in response to a Federal judge's ban on forcibly removing the homeless and their belongings from public property when there was insufficient shelter available in a community. This tent was designated as a "safe zone"and the homeless are required to stay in it each night. 4. The establishment of the tent served to focus public and government attention on the problem of 12 r t , ''rs } r �s r , v t 1 yh bpi Yxa it F �' c)• "1 '�' 4 Ala<+ t* i yY WE t� 'gT iAl t I s , v y I homelessness as never before. County Commissioners visited the Homeless Pavilion in Orlando. A Broward County Task Force was created. This group compiled a comprehensive report looking at all aspects of the homeless problem in Broward. The Task Force eventually became the Broward County Homeless Initiative Partnership (HIP) Advisory Board with 27 members including elected officials, government agency representatives, the civic and business community, service providers and the homeless themselves. In 1995 this board was reconstituted to its current size of 15 members. The search for suitable sites for new Homeless Assistance Centers began in 1994 and continues this year. Advocates recently toured the new HAC in Miami to learn more about Dade County's response to the homeless. The resourcefulness of the entire community needs to be brought to bear to complete the process r of siting new emergency shelters. An alliance between service providers and the business community has proven successful in Hollywood to locate a shelter site, which simultaneously l �' addressed the agendas of both groups. t. I In the interim, there are many other gaps in the Continuum needing attention. The 1993 Task Force Report calls for the creation of 300 new emergency shelter beds County wide (100 North, 100 Central and 100 South). Once open, the Broward Outreach Center will initially offer nearly half of the beds identified as needed in the South Area. Also, Shepherd's Way + expects to open 11 emergency family units in Central Broward this year. Broward County Strategic Goal #12, objective 1 calls for the addition of 150 new emergency beds by December 31, 1997. Central Broward has actually experienced a loss of shelter beds in recent years. One 60 bed mission, located close to an expanding arts & culture district, was closed by city code enforcers. ; s The North Broward area still has no emergency shelter beds for singles, and none are currently planned. As previously discussed, committee members have also identified the need for an expanded centralized intake system for the entire county. In South Broward, the Broward Outreach Center will be able to fill this gap once open. In North Broward, St. Laurence Chapel serves in this capacity, albeit without emergency beds in their area. In Central Broward, improvements to the I' existing client information and tracking system are being explored. This system would be accessed u .� at a center once it is opened. 1 It should be noted that, while they are not shelters, public hospitals and crisis stabilization units often serve as the point of entry in the Continuum for homeless persons. Broward Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services (ADAS) offers 35 detoxification beds in Central Broward along with 70 28-day residential treatment beds and 30 perinatal addiction beds in North Broward. ADAS also oversees recovery beds located at other facilities including the Fort Lauderdale jail. In South Broward Memorial Hospital offers 20 psychiatric crisis evaluation beds and 20 20 psychiatric acute care beds. In Central Broward the North Broward Hospital District provides 20 evaluation beds and 20 acute care beds. r� 13 �Y S � L 1 { 3 1 i fio tY 5 1 r � IMMEDIATE PLAN oJ��r>J�e ro��o Support on-going process initiated by the HIP Board for the opening 150 new emergency beds by December 31, 1997, in one or more sites. 11 J- 500 7 COSTS, Broward county Public Works Department capital costs estimate for 150 beds on a two-acre site equals $1.9 million.

Support services ' to address one or more needs or underlying causes of homelessness are normally included on or off site. Broward County has an array of transitional housing facilities meeting a variety of needs including those of the homeless. Many of these programs, however, are specialized to the point where it is questionable whether they truly fit in to a workable continuum of care. For instance, while a significant number of clients at the Turning Point substance abuse recovery program been homeless sometime prior to admission, this program only intakes court orde ed felons. Thus effective linkage is virtually limited to corrections facilities. In the meantime, 70% of the homeless in Broward County report substance abuse problems (31.96% drug abuse and 38.60% alcohol abuse). Almost 17 % are counted among the chronic mentally ill. These two populations alone demonstrate a need for transitional programs to address R; these underlying causes (or in some cases, results) of homelessness. f Y I Following is a listing of transitional residences and their target clientele: x Agency _9_�C Beds/Units Target Group Lord's Place 35 beds Families T y (entrants must be employed) His Caring Place 12 beds Pregnant (no other children- t +, ?

BRIDGING THE GAPS The Broward County Homeless Task Force along with the 1991-96 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy(CHAS) call for 20 additional single units and 80 family units in North Broward; 100 single units, 100 family units, 50 units for the disabled and 20 beds for HIV+ Y ' , individuals in Central Broward; and 60 single units along with 40 family units in South Broward. Broward County Strategic Goal # 12, objective 1 calls for an increase in the number of transitional beds by 10% (or 87 beds) by December 31, 1997. Although nearly 870 transitional beds or units, targeting various sub-groups, have been identified r. countywide: i A) It should be reiterated that not all of these units are accessible or used by the homeless. Many are shared with non-homeless individuals in need of the same residential programs. B) As previously discussed, the 1995 Annual Homeless Survey identified more than half of the i s :3• individuals in need of substance abuse and/or mental health treatment. Therefore ev en if all 870 transitional beds were readily available and exclusively for homeless persons coming from emergency shelters, that leaves a deficit of more than 1,500 beds to serve those client alone. C) To underscore this shortfall, transitional programs are nearly always full, normally with long waiting lists. Additionally, committee members have identified specific sub-groups of the homeless needing transitional support who are often missed by existing programs. These are: f d 1) Chronically mentally ill persons who are also substance abusers, or persons who are "dually diagnosed". 2) HIV+ substance abusers needing transition prior to residential substance abuse treatment. ' 3) Corrections Release Considering again the large percentage of homeless persons suspected of overlapping substance abuse and mental health problems, this last gap may be of particular importance.

There are trends currently, such as in the field of mental health, to have housing separate from the community mental health facility. The case worker may visit clients at small cluster residences. The client visits medical professionals at out-patient clinics. In many cases, this model offers clients a greater degree of residential stability and enhances their overall ability to live independently. In some cases, supported housing lessens the need for traditional transitional housing for clients. In these transitional programs, clients often spend years moving from one level of transition to the next and correspondingly, from one residence to another. However, some clients require the more intensive support offered by transitional programs. AFFORDABLE HOUSING "SNAPSHOT" MAY 1996 � A. Of the previously mentioned 16,678 subsidized housing units countywide, )0 Section 8 units f: are in place serving homeless families. Within the past few years, the Broward County Housing Authority received set-aside certificates for those families, many of whom successfully graduated i from transitional facilities elsewhere in Broward. B. In the 1992 Adult Mental Health Services Housing Plan, "Going Home", an additional 325 units of supported housing along with 250 new Section 8 units were called for. These were to be added over five years to help meet the needs of the chronically mentally ill. Since that time, ( : advocates have been successful in making the following units available: y 1. The Broward Co. Housing Authority has established 50 Section 8 set-asides. These C certificates were divided between and supported by services from four community mental health providers including, Archways, Nova Clinic, Henderson Mental Health Center and Broward County Elderly Services. While not specifically designated for the "homeless", it :•; is recognized that after initial stabilization, the homeless mentally ill individual becomes one of over 7,000 chronic clients currently case-managed in the county. a; 2. One hundred 60 month shelter-plus-care rental certificates for the homeless mentally ill are expected to become available in April 1995. These will, again, be through the Broward ' County Housing Authority with community mental health service provider support. x 3. Volunteers of America (VOA) supervises 19 supported housing units for the mentally ill (15 in North Broward and 4 in Central Broward). 4. Broward County Community Development Corporation (CDC) through last year's "Super NOFA' application has added nine units in Central Broward for homeless families who are " mental health consumers. The name of this program is Idlywoods. C. Broward House maintains 46 beds for HIV+ men & women along with 10 family units. Center One operates an additional 9 beds for singles at "The Commons." Many of the individuals served have been referred to Broward House or Center One from homeless shelters or they would be f,. l 23 ( . { 3 1 t 1( t � 1{ L I ` fI .t homeless without this intervention. Support services are offered by an array of providers including Broward House. To re-cap the current number of permanent affordable and supported housing units & beds targeted either for the homeless or accessible to the homeless within a sub-group: A.

Among its recommendations, along with those of the CHAS, was the addition of 180 j t affordable housing units for the physically and mental) disabled 50 North 90 Central &40 1 9 p y � Y Y ( South). The Task Force also called for additional support teams as well as formal agreements to r link agencies. ,;. As mentioned above, the 1992"Going Home" report called for 326 new affordable supported housing units for the mentally disabled, at a rate of 25 the first year, 50 for both the second r and third years and 100 during both the fourth and fifth years. Two hundred and fifty new ): Section 8 units were to be added at a rate of 40 per year for five years. With the successful >; addition of 50 Section 8 units and 128 other supported housing units, these numbers can x- t be adjusted to 206 and 191 respectively for a total of 397 new units still needed for this r population. ' With the addition of 169 new units for the mentally ill and homeless mentally ill throughout Broward County most of the 180 new units proposed in the Task Force/CHAS reports have been realized. t However: ., A) "Going Home" goes further in the number of units estimated to be required for the mentally handicapped alone. B)These new units do not begin to address the supported housing needs of the 77,603 disabled i L persons cited in the 1994 CHAS. 1, y 24 , r ' �"�kY,J4v✓May4`r,`� A 1 I ,. s7t a�" 1 { t41 V•' q x w k f 54� f v i v h r. pps J C) Further research will need to be done to determine the percentage of homeless persons of the identified who will need some type of affordable housing as the last step in the continuum. D) It is not known how many of the 7,726 families currently on waiting lists for subsidized housing will become homeless before their wait is over. Clearly, there is a need for additional permanent affordable and supported housing for all sub- groups of the Broward homeless population. It also behooves all levels of government to do all within their power to encourage construction of new affordable housing and rehabilitation of existing affordable housing countywide. An important gap that needs to be bridged for an effective continuum is the gap between transitional programs for the homeless and affordable housing, Affordable housing has long been t; within the purview of the half-dozen autonomous housing authorities within Broward. With the "r�l notable recent exceptions of the Broward County and Ft. Lauderdale Housing Authorities, these entities have not been a part of a functional continuum of service to the homeless. f " { I Many housing authorities around the nation recognize homelessness as warranting "Federal ` Preference" when it comes to waiting lists. The following excerpt is taken from a Notice To Applicants Concerning Preferences from the Housing Authority of Savannah: I ` "This Housing Authority does not select its applicants for housing on a first come first serve ° { basis. There are several preferences given to applicants based on certain federal regulations and local policies. Federal preferences have priority over local preferences but combined federal and ' f local preferences have priority over just federal preferences. 'There are three federal priorities which are: 5 1. Being involuntarily displaced, 2. Living in substandard housing, and 3. Paying more than 50% of monthly income for rent and utilities. These are further defined as follows: (Under priority 2) An applicant who is a homeless family may be considered as living in substandard housing." r In these communities, shelter operators are able to screen and identify motivated and appropriate { homeless families and place them at the top of affordable housing waiting lists. I There are other options however, for housing authorities wanting to participate in the Continuum. Again, with recent exceptions, local boards have been slow or not interested in exploring these options. They include applying for set-aside certificates for homeless clients, and applying for additional certificates in general. Some officials cite the increased costs of administering these special subsidies, or even additional certificates of a general nature. Local housing authorities need to be more closely integrated in the Continuum and take a more r. x, 25 j + k p i Y 44' �kta' tV7 r 1E, 21 yyyf +Y ',r v r?,Yti,K Y L'4.w active role in developing programs to address the needs of the homeless. Lastly, it should be noted that the Dania and Deerfield Beach Housing Authorities offer "Family Self-Sufficiency Programs." These programs are designed to support clients who seek better paying jobs and job skills training. The objective is to allow clients to eventually earn enough money to no longer need a rent subsidy. The Florida Department of Labor and Broward Employment and Training Administration (BETA) are currently formulating a program to bring together private industry and homeless advocates in order to provide jobs for motivated homeless clients. The success of this effort will open doors for one strategy for clients to obtain affordable housing namely through adequate income. This is 101- consistent with Broward County Strategic Goal, objective 3 which calls for exploring the feasibility of establishing homeless hiring incentives programs. t t A iY" `S t l I MJI 4 M i 1 .et {{ i �,1 F J v' x t $� tit*t,iK t My; I I 5rl tE l I t t t 26 LP��1 Y/ 3 ltil r.

As a group, the homeless characteristically have the least, in terms of a safety net or support system, to fall back on. Support services are correspondingly essential to begin the process of reintegration into the community. Homeless clients share most services with those who are not homeless. Such services include: Food stamps, financial aid, counseling, medical and psychiatric care, substance abuse treatment, }?. transportation, employment training and placement, day care, legal aid and educational opportunities. In addition, specialized services are required by the homeless. These include, but are not limited TT to: information and referral to homeless services, case management, identification replacement, clothing, and specialized counseling, mail services, eta t.

The First Call for Help operates a 24 hour crisis and information hotline and also offers a Client Case Management - Central Information System. t k: ` BRIDGING THE GAPS Unlike shelters, the provision of support services does not depend solely on beds being available. Support agencies are limited by a variety of factors including staff, time and budget constraints. Generally, free or low cost services are attainable, if one is willing to wait. The wait for social security disability benefits, for instance, may often take many months longer than programs can afford to house clients. r>r • 29 gyp} y{y ! Vf S d f f !� 1� r,C _ r I Navigating complex and confusing eligibility tests, scheduling and attending numerous appointments and filling out batteries of forms can be taxing for persons with the most stable living situations. For a homeless person, such obstacles often prove to be beyond the limits of endurance. For some front-line case workers, whose patience may already be stretched thin by long and constant lines of needy individuals, the challenge of confronting a confused street person may prove daunting. Such clients may not get complete information to access services. ' The Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services has appointed liaisons at each branch office with the job of providing better services to homeless families and individuals. This strategy provides a valuable link in the continuum of care and should be replicated as often as possible in other agencies. Key informants point to certain support service gaps in the Continuum of Care for the homeless t which stand out. These include: A) The need for job placement counselors with the sole purpose of linking homeless persons with employers. Counselors could be shared by several shelter providers. As mentioned, the Florida Department of Labor and BETA are beginning such an effort. B) Therapists and other services for the dually diagnosed homeless (those with mental +' illness and substance abuse problems). The needs of this sub-group are further addressed in other sections. ; C) Case managers to assess needs, help clients develop plans, and help the client access 4` services and realize their plans. D) Counselors and therapists to address the array of underlying issues which contribute to, j or are caused by, homelessness. Such issues may include: abuse, recovery, depression, unresolved anger, dysfunctional families decision making skills, budgeting skills and myriad others. f , r. r . 30 E t l ` f , .n l , n i M r 1 a Ii. i IMMEDIATE PLAN '1 9009I1 GGA S l. 19- 911199- 7 COSTS r ' (TBD) r e '1�7J/J7l� �ts`'�'IJ� J�•rl�l�J �`r'i^a{ (TSD) 20, M; ;I r yp 1 �3Ai r 4 LONG TERM PLAN r f': a t, Ky GOALS r Olt Y EE AR ?U» yd 'x rOers FOR YEAR 2000 tat M } n1 { f : { f' REVENUE p M r FOR YEAR 9000 h ( r3D) n - , S ,{ 1 5r Ty.r ,n .. t r:7- 31 Big ,p � �r��lz',•, t rti : 4� ��it1z x p, �d `Rd>H�xY, t r :a x¢}x nti.2trAlri�`e ,rg �� 33fi♦♦�.'S�qq}7P'vl t�w/ <l �'.�f �'erq' �.Jt: , i I i:c. Doti Ckrri%a�•r�„i . s �,i;cAG_ Broward County is a relatively new community. Many of our institutions, agencies, cities and people were not here even 30 years ago. We are so new in fact, some could argue over whether we are really a community. It would appear all too often that our neighborhoods, our municipalities, our people, and for our purposes, our agencies are "islands unto themselves". Isolation is particularly a part of homelessness. ^ "To say that the homeless need housing is a bit like saying the poor need money-both statements are true, but neither ultimately does much to illuminate the problem. What's now j Z. clear is that if every homeless person were put in an affordable low-income apartment tomorrow, many would be back on the street several weeks later. The reason, as study after ,i study has shown, is that the homeless are different from other poor people in one crucial respect: They are profoundly alone." 1 U.S. News & World Report, Feb. 29, 1988, p.27. e` The gulf that exists between a homeless person and the community, and between those charged with re-integrating that person back into community, leads us to the need for a Continuum. If we are to build bridges of trust with our clients, we as service providers must begin by building ' 3 f. those bridges between ourselves. This will link both systems, and people, horizontally and , vertically. s The preceding discussion has dealt with separate components of a Continuum of Care for the ' 1 homeless. Within each section gaps were identified. The priorities for filling these gaps were established at the Broward Coalition for the Homeless Annual Planning Day. •`, PRIORITY 1: EMERGENCY AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING i A continuum of care is contingent upon the availability of emergency and transitional housing. Adequate assessment and intervention can not occur without stabilization in a safe environment. The number of emergency and transitional beds available for those currently living on the streets of Broward County is grossly inadequate. Reunification with the community cannot occur if clients do not have access to an environment which provides safe sleeping accommodations, food, shower facilities, and other essentials that the non-homeless take for granted. As clients move through the continuum, the need for affordable transitional housing becomes priority. Successful completion of a case management program means nothing if clients are economically denied access back into the mainstream. The need for homeless transitional housing is especially needed for: Ji 32 J , Jz ?; f t . e tj j 4J l t�ty y r NI I 1 i —gl �[ e a. i 1. Dually diagnosed 2. Addictions 3. Mentally III 4. Families F PRIORITY 2• SUPPORT SERVICES Support services would include all agencies and staff who directly and/or indirectly impact the client's life. Primary consideration of support services is the responsibility of the case manager and the client; however, the continuum of care described here emphasizes the urgent r need for all agencies to delineate the scope of services that are provided and maintain a delivery I of service that maximizes client success. The following are critical to the process of alleviating -� homelessness. i 1. Employment and training/education/acquisition j 2. Counseling 3. Case Management C i 4. Child Care r' � 1 PRIORITY 3: CONTINUUM OF CARE A continuum of care exists when clients receive the services needed from "multiple agencies "j without encountering barriers to movement between agencies or discontinuities over time in ` receiving services." (Schutt and Garrett, 1992, pp 62-63) This continuum requires that the system itself bu user friendly and accessible. It is important to note that all services are included in the continuum of care planned for Broward County. Needs have been delineated only for the purposes of this document. The following is a brief description of the necessary framework for a continuum a' of care where the primary focus is each segment of the homeless population. t 1. Intensive strengths model case management ,y (Rapp and Wintersteen, 1989) 2. Proactive intervention ti { ` 3. Information and referral i ,;• 4. Follow-up aftercare 5. Ongoing client and system advocacy PRIORITY 4• PREVENTION/EARLY INTERVENTION The number of those "at risk" of becoming homeless far exceeds that of the current homeless >` population. Programs that focus upon early intervention and assessment, education and life management, and direct financial assistance would ultimately prevent individuals and families entering into the chronic cycle of homelessness. ..7f 33 , i t 3 WIwW 1r I 4 hr r n Y ti M� t PRIORITY 5: HEALTH CARE Health care is often cited as one of the primary causes of homelessness. Forced to rely upon an overloaded public health care system, the health care needs of the homeless often go untreated. The following health care systems must provide more services and greater access to the homeless population. 1. Substance abuse rehabilitation 2. Mental health services 3. AIDS/HIV 4. Medical care Y: 5. Dental care 6. Eye care 4M` 7. Prenatal care t r t . I's PRIORITY b• COMMUNITY EDUCATION {l 41 t The development and implementation of educational programs which would dispel the many myths ' and stereotypes associated with homelessness, As Broward continues to fill these gaps in services there must still be concrete ways for a client to progress from outreach, to emergency shelter, to transitional shelter (as needed) and into '. affordable housing. Access to support services is needed at each step. ; Many service providers have within their files "letters of agreement"with other agencies. These are j Y often broadly worded statements which may be of limited help to clients trying to access services. I This is especially true when dealing with limited resources such as shelter beds. These agreements work better in such areas as outreach, education and other less finite resources. Y Workshop participants have identified the need for more specific linkage mechanisms. Working within the very real limitations of available resources (and those which can be added) it has been proposed that outreach workers and shelters link in the following ways: " Shelters could increase the number of "set-aside" beds for clients referred by an outreach , worker, or eventually, by central intake. There are few if any such arrangements now. Outreach workers would be encouraged to maintain some contact with the client as they progress through the Continuum. This could also be done by a primary case worker who would + track and assist a client through various agencies and programs. Such primary contacts would increase continuity of care and could offer possible friendship for the friendless. Shelters may also t find an increase in their success rate and effectiveness through such long term team efforts. The Faith in Action project of the Grater Hollywood Task Force for the Homeless has this as one of its goals. f4 34 V �r P Y ! I �n i6� 1y dR f ) rk,1 /•�9 l 1 N iV , " I y Such mechanisms would be further developed between agencies in each level of the continuum. Very specific linkage options have already been discussed between transitional shelter and affordable housing. Implementation of such links might be done in a two-part process. First, each of the service providers identified in this report could be invited to "sign-on" to the continuum. This would be tantamount to an "intent to link". The BCH has initiated this first step. Member organizations which network through groups such as the Broward Homeless Coalition and Greater Hollywood Task Force for the Homeless have already begun to demonstrate this intent. The second step would involve negotiations between service providers to implement functioning p links similar to those described above. The designation of liaisons to the homeless and their case managers at various agencies has been j mentioned. Such liaisons would be familiar with the special needs of homeless clients and could t act as trouble shooters within their own agencies. Frequently, since they are "outsiders", homeless ; clients encounter obstacles to obtaining services which they are otherwise entitled to. Liaisons would help to make the system work for clients. ff 1 Homeless clients are not the only ones who feel like outsiders when approaching an agency for 1 ' help. Sometimes a client's case manager may be confronted with the same run around. Liaisons would be the human faces of agencies. On an individual basis they would establish relationship and be the real bridge builders between two service providers. t � '- A word should be said on the role of the faith community. To ignore the role that churches, temples and other religious organizations play in being the front line providers of food and shelter to the ` homeless would be like ignoring George Washington's role in the American Revolution. There is an ongoing accommodation between government funding sources and religious based service providers. As Michael Elliott explains in his book "Why the Homeless Don't Have Homes and What to do About it" (p, 10): "While both [church & state] have mandates to care for the homeless, the Constitution charges government with caring for the people, and the Scriptures (indeed, virtually all religious writings) call for compassion to the poor. Each institution is frightened that it will be corrupted if it works in concert with the other. A social problem as complex as homelessness can only be addressed comprehensively, however; the strengths of both institutions must come together. The government can, and should, lead the attack on the structural causes of homelessness. It is the only institution capable of adequately addressing them. The religious community must lead the attack on the personal causes of homelessness. It is the institution most capable of teaching individuals the moral framework necessary to make good decisions and providing the social support system people need to persevere." Within the proper framework of separation of church and state, there must also be cooperation of church and state. All too often the job of the religious outreach worker ends on the other side of 35 `t . 1 the serving line. If the person they are feeding is fortunate enough to make it into a shelter, sadly, the relationship terminates there. It would be more time consuming, and more effective, for such relationships to continue. This would not be for the purpose of proselytizing, but for the purpose of welcoming the newly self- reliant homeless person voluntarily into a faith community where a compassionate support system would continue. Such a support network of caring friends might be the only support a homeless person could look forward to upon "graduation"from the Continuum. Elliott contends, "The lack of an appropriate social support system is the single greatest contributing factor to homelessness....and until the delivery system incorporates personal relationships into social services, homelessness will continue on its current course." The first stages of a central intake and tracking system has been mentioned. In addition to area II, one-stop centers, the present system can be upgraded. Options of a centralized shelter bed i 4 " telephone clearinghouse, or offices providing specific, linked points of entry P 9 p g p p into the continuum .j should be explored and implemented. I' Such intake will necessarily involve needs assessment and development of an individualized plan ! with substance abuse, mental health, dual diagnosis, disability, employment, family and other I, tracks. Follow-up case management is essential to insure that clients are linked with services. Access to emergency shelter beds is, of course, central to such a goal. " The objective in all of this is to allow the client to progress through a logical sequence of interventions and to create movement in a system characterized by congestion. A functioning r continuum would necessarily move clients into self-sufficiency more quickly and thereby cut down I on the numbers of recidivist clients filling emergency shelter beds. This would allow current clients :r the opportunity to move on more quickly, thus freeing up beds for additional intakes. A functioning continuum should begin to meet the needs, and divergent aims, of a community as q. diverse as Broward. This will include the homeless, the service providers, the business community and the residents, 71% of whom clearly see there is a problem.

A review of the commitment to insure title, issued February ' ' 19, 1990 by Attorney's Title Insurance Fund, Inc. , revealed R : +, an easement granted to Florida Power and Light Company, over the East 50 feet of the South 10 feet of the North 47 feet of Parcel 2 (3101 SW 26th Terr) , dated May 21, 1987, .' recorded on July 14, 1987 in O.R. Book 14619, at Page 327. ` This appears to have no adverse effect on this property. ZONING: The present zoning is M-1, a light industrial district for t ! :: Dania, Florida. According to Attorney's Title Insurance �. Fund, Inc. 's Commitment to Insure Title, Broward County t. , Ordinance No. 85-23 (Z) changed zoning district boundaries, and was recorded on June 26, 1985, in O.R. Book 12637, at Page 105. This was confirmed by Al Shamoun, Senior Planner, Broward County. f ` r The present improvements are legal non-conforming because they predate the current zoning code. ACCESS: Access is via 170' along SW 26th Terrace on the eastern r r {` property boundary. h r 45 pfa t ✓ � :i i d Ci i 2 j . v SITE DISCUSSION (CONTINUED) Reportedly this nearby area is defined as a deferral area because Ravenswood Road is considered inadequate north of Griffin Road. Properties in a deferral area, which are subject to concurrency will need to mitigate the inadequacy of the roadway in question prior to development or redevelopment. It is impossible to know or get information from anyone with regard to exactly what would have to be done to solve the problem and in turn allow for these sites to be developed or redeveloped. It is, therefore, also impossible to quantify the cure into a dollar estimate. Discussions with Marty Berger at the Broward County Planning Department revealed that possible solutions could range from merely adding a turning lane on Ravenswood, or possible f: widening or adding lanes to Ravenswood, to adding turn lanes as well as widening Ravenswood. It is further impossible to ascertain what portion would be chargeable to a specific property. He further indicated that for a specific development the property owner may be able to prove that no additional traffic flow will be created, and therefore no ! ` mitigation would be required. J i ., ? Since it is too early to predict what impact, if any, concurrency will have in the market, no estimate was made. We have further been advised by Gary Donaldson of the Broward County Planning Department that sites not specifically in deferral areas, but adjoining a nearby "( z` deferral area, will in all likelihood, be made part of a deferral area when application is made for platting. )1 AN MMUON• r , The City of Dania has annexed this property and all Y; y industrially zoned properties surrounding this property in (a the subject neighborhood. Reportedly, because the plat map erroneously labels the adjacent property to the north R-1-C, ' single family residential, it was not annexed. The enabling legislation allows for it to be annexed in the future, because State Law does not allow a property to be unannexed when surrounded completely by annexed properties. + SUMMARY• The site is 35,156± s. f. , unplatted, zoned M-1, in an area in transition from residential to industrial.

In analyzing the highest and best use of the appraised property, consideration has been given to: (a) the LEGAL IISE, or that use or uses which are legally F` ) permissible under the existing zoning regulations and „ F deed restrictions. a, (b) the POSSIBLE—USE, or that use or uses which are ' physically possible under the size and shape limitations. - � c) the FEASIBLE USE, or that use or uses which are legally( permissible and physically possible which yields the highest net return to the owner during the existing and r' projected future market conditions. d the PROBABLE IISE, or that use or uses which is most if ( ) likely for the property, given the alternate possible } uses as well as the variation in investor types. ` (e) the ,,2 EST AND BEST USE, under investment analysis, is y " the use which will result in a level of income, which O when capitalized into value, will result in the highest net present value from among the assortment of F. = alternate uses. This property is zoned M-1, Light Industrial by Broward m. County, Florida. This classification provides for industrial use and is in conformity with trends of the area. However, it's present use as apartments is a legal non-conforming use because construction predated the current zoning. Previously, this area was primarily residential. In 1976, a land use plan was adopted by governing - authorities, requiring this area to conform to industrial uses. A one year grace period was given to allow owners to develop land under the old residential zoning in order to avoid the change to industrial. Obviously, industrial uses are legal also. a, 50 r x �ar (Y o r � , •. HIGHEST AND BEST USE (CONTINUED) 0 Although we have noted the Growth Management Act, we are not qualified to render an opinion of possible effects on this property. This site is located just outside a deferral area as indicated on the Comprehensive Plan Map dated 9/3/91. Please consider Assumption #12 under the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Section in this report. POSSIBLE USE: " The size, shape, access and exposure of the property would permit industrial uses. Many of the surrounding sites are improved with industrial structures. This is proof that f such a use is possible. The fact that the property is presently improved with apartments, is proof that this type _ development is also possible. !` FEASIBLE USE: The feasible use is that use which would provide the highest ` return to the owner. This area of Broward County, west of y'. the airport has undergone industrial development. Overall } 4.; occupancy levels are high, reflecting a strong market � . acceptance of this area. A continued demand for these types E of industrial products is expected over the foreseeable future. It is apparent from the high occupancy levels and }i rental rates that industrial/warehouse type of development { is feasible. t r Yr. ' The existing use, however, currently provides the highest return to the owner. As demonstrated in the Direct Sales Comparison Approach section of this report, the estimated land value "as if vacant" is $313,000. Refer to the Highest and Best Use "As If Vacant" on the following page. This ' ��91 `. estimate would be further reduced by the cost of demolition. 1, - " That further refinement is not necessary, as the value indicated as vacant land, even without demolition, is less 1^ <. than the value of the property as improved. The final value r' estimate of the property "as is" is $475,000, including the contribution of the billboard, less the cost to "cure" the physical deterioration. Thus, the use as apartments is the feasible use for the interim period until the apartments do not contribute sufficient value to justify their existence. This will then require their demolition to allow for a more profitable industrial use. 1 , 51 = 1 . 1.�`Y y h •/ Ti]�NWu 1 _ss .•i i y4 Y. 1 � r f 1 ;'1 • •• V. 4 i I I IHIGHEST AND BEST IISE (CONTINIIED) FEASIBLE IISE (CONTINIIED) : The cost to "cure" the physical deterioration resulting from deferred maintenance is less than the value enhancement to the property, which demonstrates the feasibility of spending �. the capital. ^-e- e The probable use would also be the interim use as apartments i I and land lease for a billboard, until such time as the apartments no longer contribute sufficient value to justify their existence.

He further indicated that for a specific development the property owner may be able to prove that no additional traffic flow will be created, and therefore no mitigation ' would be required. since it is too early to predict what impact, if any, ; '; concurrency will have in the market, no estimate was made. We have further been advised by Gary Donaldson of the Broward County Planning Department that sites not specifically in deferral areas, but adjoining a nearby deferral area, will in all likelihood, be made part of a deferral area when application is made for platting.
