  4. FY2012 Budget – Targeted Homeless Programs • FY2012 Budget Highlights: • Full HEARTH implementation would cost over $4 billion; therefore, HUD requested a reasonable amount to implement most aspects. • Congress scaled back the request further and HUD is making tough decisions about what to implement with limited resources. 11

  5. President’s FY2013 Budget – Targeted Homeless Programs • The President’s Budget proposed $2.23 billion for HUD’s Homeless Assistance Grants • $1.94 billion for the CoC program • $286 million for the ESG program • The President’s Budget proposed $5 million for the Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program AND • $75 million for the HUD-VASH program

  6. President’s FY2013 Budget – Targeted Homeless Programs • The President’s Budget is committed to meeting the goals of Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. In FY 2013, HUD will: • Tailor specific, existing, programs • Implement innovative strategies • Expect that homeless individuals and families will utilize mainstream resources and benefits more often

  7. FY2013 Budget Before Deficit Reduction– Targeted Homeless Programs 12

  8. Deficit Reduction Mandated by Budget Control Act of 2011 • Requires a $1.2 trillion reduction from FY 2013 to FY 2021 ($109 billion reduction each year) • Failure by Congress to make necessary reductions will result in automatic funding cuts as detailed in the Act 13

  10. Committee on Appropriations – FY 2013 - House Report • “The Continuum of Care is supposed to be a competitive grants programs…It is not the committee’s intention to maintain an entitlement program for ailing and inflexible service providers. The Committee reminds providers in the Continuum of Care that these funds are intended to assist and house the homeless as effectively and efficiently as possible.”

  11. Bottom line? Increasing pressure on local homeless service systems combined with constricting resources requires us to retool programs to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness. 18

  12. Federal Strategic Plan Four goals as established in Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness: • Finish the job of ending chronic homelessness by 2015. • Prevent and end homelessness among Veterans by 2015. • Prevent and end homelessness among families, youth, and children by 2020. • Set a path to ending all types of homelessness. 4

  13. Federal Strategic Plan • The goals of Opening Doors: • Guided many of the policies set forth in the ESG, CoC, and RHS programs • Will guide the policies set forth in the CoC and RHS competitions in FY 2012 and beyond 5
