Slow start today, but the conversation really ramped up. Here are some of the highlights:
-
Transitional housing: housed or homeless? We discussed how there was a spectrum of different ways that transitional housing could look, but in HIFIS, we have to make the binary decision of "homeless or housed."
See Ali's blog post: www.acreconsulting.ca/blog/77914-making-the-most-of-trans...
Who ultimately gets to decide what the community's prioritization criteria are? The CE gets the funding and is ultimately responsible, but the CAB gets authority to decide on prioritization. There are some conflicting incentives - supportive housing providers would rather prioritize people with lower acuity, and special interest groups want to prioritize their population.
What about people being discharged from correctional facilities (or hospital). Should we endeavour to house them immediately (possibly taking resources away from the priority list) so they aren't discharged into homelessness?
