Effort
How?
Accelerate the pace and integrate our efforts towards ending
Veteran and chronic homelessness in 25 cities with the largest
concentration of homeless Veterans
1.
Build and strengthen elements of Coordinated
Assessment and Housing Placement
2.
Strengthen and integrate data systems
3.
Integrate VA efforts on homelessness more seamlessly
into broader community efforts
San Diego’s First 100 Day Project
San Diego will focus on building a complete (front and back end) Coordinated
Assessment and Housing Placement (CAHP) System in Downtown San Diego.

Clearing the
Path
• San Diego will build a Community Team to design and
implement a CAHP System during the first 100 Day Project
that launches on June 4th and 5th.
• San Diego chose to use the VI-SPDAT for the first 100 Day
Pilot and will evaluate performance to determine future use.
• San Diego will build a system focused on Veterans and chronic
homeless first. Both individuals and families will be served in
the CAHP system.
• During the 100 Days, the San Diego Leadership Team will work
with the Community Design Team to target resources to the
CAHP and break down barriers to it’s use.

Mission & Goal
OVERALL GOAL: By September 17th, 2014, we, the San Diego
Community Design Team, will design and test a system that
assesses all downtown homeless and effectively matches,
houses, and retains 150 veterans and 100 chronic homeless
individuals …
• 100-day goal is to build a sustainable, ongoing system that
will END veteran and chronic homelessness in downtown
• 250 housing placements intended to demonstrate system
is working – not the ultimate goal
Sub-Goal #1: Assess all Downtown Homeless
• Estimated 800 unsheltered downtown homeless
• Week of June 23-26
– HOT Team, Alpha, other providers and 145 Volunteers
– Assessed homeless on downtown streets using VI-SPDAT
• Now assessed over 1200 unsheltered homeless on
downtown streets using VI-SPDAT
• Will continue our outreach to newly homeless and
people we missed
Sub-Goal #2: Housing Navigation
• Housing Navigators prepare clients for housing
• Approximately 20 FTE’s Housing Navigators
– Volunteered by their agencies!!!
– Prepare clients for housing through CAHP system
• Approximately 100 clients already assigned to Housing
Navigators
– Most vulnerable clients assigned to Navigators first
– Based upon their VI-SPDAT assessments
Sub-Goal #3: Matching & Placement
• Identify and gather housing resources
• Likely resources for downtown 100-day pilot:
–
–
–
–
40 Permanent Supportive Housing beds
50 VASH vouchers for veterans
100 Rapid Rehousing Beds
100 SSVF beds for veterans
• Match clients to housing
– Using community agreed priority rules
– Most vulnerable clients matched first
• Client always has choice of housing
Five Key Tactics
1. Use Data to Drive Results: Use data to measure system
and program performance and inform resource
allocation decisions
2. Leverage Mainstream Resources: Engage mainstream
systems and integrate those resources— housing, job
training, child care, health care, etc …
3. Be Frugal – Target Wisely: Provide the right intervention
at the right time to the right individual or family through
a coordinated assessment system

Five Key Tactics
4. Be Smart – Use Evidence: Adopt Housing First practices
to offer individuals and families experiencing
homelessness immediate access to permanent
affordable or supportive housing, without clinical
prerequisites or other barriers
5. Expand the Pie Strategically: Use existing resources in
smarter ways to help make clear case for new
investments of Federal, State, local, and private sector
resources to scale the practices and innovations that
work
