A Regional Perspective
2017 Point and Time Count
•
68% of our homeless are from OC
•
4792 Total Unsheltered and Sheltered Homeless
•
•
North SPA:1848 Unsheltered and Unsheltered Homeless
•
•
South SPA: 674 Unsheltered & Sheltered Homeless
Central SPA: 2099 Unsheltered and Sheltered Homeless
$125 MIL Spent by Cities in 2015
UCI/United Way Cost Study
• $299 MIL FY 15 – 16
• Unsheltered Homelessness has Increased 53% since 2013
• Investing in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) can save OC
Cities $42 MIL per year
• ACC-OC'S 2700 PSH Unit Plan Shelters the Region’s Chronically
Homeless
Cost Study
Recommendations PSH
• PSH (Permanent Supportive Housing) is a national recognized, proven
and cost effective solution to the needs of vulnerable people with
disabilities who are homeless, institutionalized, or at greatest risk of these
conditions.
• PSH integrates permanent, affordable rental housing with the best
practice community-based supportive services geared toward helping
those who are homeless and/or have serious long term disabilities:
• Mental illnesses and / or Physical disabilities
• Developmental disabilities
• Substance use disorders
• Chronic health conditions
Cost Study
Recommendations PSH
• Taking a regional approach to PSH development places our county in
a better position for leveraging internal and external resources and
funding
• Utilizing the Department of Finance numbers, ACCOC staff calculated
what percentage of the Orange County population each city had.
• With that, the staff populated out the 2700 PSH units based on
individual city population.
PSH Needed
• Total Unsheltered in OC: 2584
• Total Sheltered in OC: 2208
• Some of these individuals and families are being
housed in Emergency Shelters or Transitional
Housing, and can only be temporarily housed due
to residency requirements. Without PSH, residents
often find themselves back on the streets.
• Doubles the overstock of PSH currently in OC
