Questions for Applicants 5. Applicant: OlyCAP, Project: Caswell-Brown What is capacity of Community Build to provide 20 new tiny shelters in 2025? Do you have their agreement to provide these if you secure funding? How will you serve the needs of people in RVs that will be replaced by tiny shelters? What is the percentage of marginalized people living in RVs? Are Consolidated Grant funds used for Caswell-Brown? Community Build built the first 20 tiny shelters at the CBV site and in a meeting in early October offered to replace the RVs on site with an additional 20, but larger units, similar to those they have built at Bayside Housing sites. Shelters would be brought in as RVs are phased out. The agreement is the same that was in place for the previous build, if necessary, we can obtain a new written agreement. All participants in RVs at Caswell Brown are marginalized due to their socio-economic status as homeless in addition to any disability or comorbidity present. All residents of CBV are prioritized through the Coordinated Entry process to identify those of highest need with the most barriers. OlyCAP will serve residents of RVs that will be replaced by shelters in the same manner they are currently served however in units that are not as susceptible to mold, carbon monoxide toxicity, and a fire risk as occurs in aging RVs. Each shelter has and will be equipped with heaters built with fire resistant materials. As the FY 2024 HFB grant did not fully cover the salaries needed to staff CBV 24/7, the remaining salaries have been covered through Emergency Housing Fund which is part of the Consolidated Homeless Grant. Staff training was also covered by the Consolidated Homeless Grant including, but not limited to, De-escalation and First Aid / CPR. 6. Applicant: OlyCAP, Project: Haines Street Are Consolidated Grant funds used for Caswell-Brown? Are monies from other sources provided for units for individuals involved in Jefferson County Therapeutic Courts? Consolidated Homeless Grant Funds are not used for Haines Street Cottages in any form. If a participant is eligible for move-in funds to move out of a Haines Street Shelter, these funds will then assist them in moving to permanent housing. No other monies support the operations of the Haines Street Cottages. Partner agencies and the HUD Crossroads grant can provide case management supports for those participants residing in these units, but these are attached to the participant and not the unit. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
