Proaosed Housinq Strateqy <br /> Five Year Housinct Production <br /> Over the next five years, a total of 95 units of permanent supportive housing for the <br /> chronically homeless will be created in Decatur and Macon County, Illinois. This <br /> strategy focuses on the development of specific projects (utilizing one of the three <br /> housing models previously identified) for distinct subgroups within the target market. <br /> The proposed housing production plan addresses the overwhelming demand for <br /> affordable housing by significantly increasing the number of residential units available to <br /> more than 50% of the current chronically homeless population in the city and county. <br /> Table 4 illustrates targeted goals for housing production over the next five years. Critical <br /> factors that impact these numbers include the following: prospective resident <br /> characteristics and unique need for support services, ability to secure suitable sites, <br /> current and future funding availability, and the capacity of local housing developers. <br /> Each of these factors is described below. <br /> Table 4: Five Year Target Goals for Each Housing Model <br /> Safe No. of Units <br /> Housing Model Haven SRO SLA Per Phase <br /> First Phase (12-18 months) 8 14 8 30 <br /> Second Phase (19-36 months) 12 12 10 38 <br /> Third Phase (37-60 months) 10 14 7 27 <br /> Total Number of Units by Type 30 40 25 95 <br /> Percentage 32°� 42% 26% 100% <br /> Description of Tvaical Resident Profiles <br /> Creating a housing strategy that is appropriate and responsive to a specific population <br /> requires an essential understanding of the attributes and characteristics of the <br /> PAGE Z6 <br />
