FIVE YEAR SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PLAN <br /> FINAL REPORT <br /> (contained in the appendix) had nine distinct models, each with two sets of variations <br /> (master leasing/direct leasing, and wet/damp/dry).13 The planning group pared this list <br /> to three models: <br /> • Safe Haven — a low-demand, services-optional facility that has private or semi- <br /> private rooms and shared bathing and cooking facilities. Safe Havens target the <br /> hardest-to-serve population and have minimal rules. <br /> • Single Room Occupancy (SRO) — private sleeping rooms located within one <br /> building. They may have private or shared bathing and cooking facilities.'a <br /> • Supportive Living Apartments (SLA) — a conventional apartment with one or <br /> more bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living area. <br /> With any of these models, the provision of on-site supportive services is essential. <br /> Multiple studies have demonstrated that chronic homelessness can be ended when I, <br /> supportive services are combined with safe and affordable permanent housing. <br /> After identifying and consolidating the housing models the planning team matched , <br /> housing models with potential residents in order to determine the level of need for <br /> each model. The first attempt to do this looked at disability categories and service <br /> phases to search for relationships between these factors and the type of housing <br /> needed. To accomplish this, the planning team created a matrix with the eight disability <br /> categories on the horizontal axis and the eight service phases on the vertical axis. This <br /> resulted in 64 boxes (for example, there was a box for MISA Quadrant I in the Early <br /> Persuasion stage). Heritage staff then placed the desired housing model(s) within each <br /> box. However, this method proved impractical, as it resulted in Safe Havens being <br /> 73 These distinctions are defined in the Housing Models document, contained in the appendix. <br /> PAGE 'I7 <br />
