Bid Description:
The State aims to build upon existing initiatives and infrastructure by developing a community-based Permanent Supportive Housing Assistance program to provide services to the State’s highest acuity housing-insecure and homeless individuals. Currently, services are available through Vermont’s continuums of care CoCs0 and, a combination of public, private, and non-profit service providers who are responsible for service provisions, program delivery, local planning, service coordination, and monitoring outcomes within their catchment area. They receive funding primarily through the Agency through its various departments. Vermont seeks to leverage existing housing infrastructure and wrap-around services and develop a new Permanent Supportive Housing Assistance (PSHA) Medicaid program. This program will ensure housing insecure and homeless Vermonters with disabilities, mental health conditions, or substance use treatment needs have access to necessary supportive housing services that can be aligned with the homeless assistance (e.g., Coc rental assistance). The state intends for the PSHA Program to have a capacity of approximately 100 slots in the first year of operations. The Program will launch in 2-4 Vermont counties with the expectation of expanding service in the future.
