Jefferson, S/C 010A, Phoenix, AZ 85007  P.O. Box 6123, Phoenix, AZ 85005 Telephone (602) 542-5678  Fax (602) 542-5339  www.azdes.gov ARIZONA 2012 Homeless Lottery Funds Report Governor Janice K. Brewer Director Clarence H. Carter This report has been prepared pursuant to A.R.S. § 5-522 (G). Of the monies remaining in the state lottery fund each fiscal year after appropriations and deposits authorized in subsections A through F of this section, one million dollars or the remaining balance in the fund, whichever is less, is appropriated to the department of economic security for grants to nonprofit organizations, including faith based organizations, for homeless emergency and transitional shelters and related support services. The department of economic security shall submit a report on the amounts, recipients, purposes and results of each grant to the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate on or before December 31 of each year for the prior fiscal year and shall provide a copy of this report to the secretary of state and the director of the Arizona state library, archives and public records. 2 Background State resources made available to support the operations of homeless services consist of limited dollars provided to nonprofit organizations through the Homeless Coordination Office within the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES), Division of Aging and Adult Services. With these funds, each year thousands of homeless men, women, and children are returned to productive, self-sufficient lives as tax paying citizens. Nonprofit service providers assist by making available safe shelter, meals, drug and alcohol dependency treatment, job training and preparation, temporary and permanent job placement, case management, and eventually, more permanent housing assistance. Because present funding levels are insufficient for meeting the growing demands, A.R.S. § 5-522 (G), appropriates up to $1,000,000 for homeless services. It is well documented that effective homeless services result in reduced, long term expenditures for emergency health and public safety costs, resulting in safer communities:  Single adults account for 80 percent of the adult homeless population in Arizona during SFY2012. The single homeless population is much older than homeless family members with 51 percent are 45 or older. Fifty-one percent of the single adult population is living with a physical or mental disability and often with both. Like the chronically homeless who make up a large portion of their ranks, they are frequent users of emergency rooms and hospital services.  Based on data compiled from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), approximately 4,004 families in Arizona experienced homelessness during SFY 2012, representing 4,807 adults and 5,809 children. Twenty-three percent of the adults in families were between the ages of 18 and 24 years old with the mean age range between 25 and 34 years old. In Maricopa County and the Balance of State, 38 percent of homeless children in Arizona are under the age of five.  In 2008, Arizona State University (ASU) Morrison Institute for Public Policy calculated an annual cost of emergency shelter and basic services at $10,340 per person, but estimated total shelter, hospital, emergency response, treatment and justice system costs for chronically homeless individuals could easily reach more than $40,000 per year, in line with estimates from other major U.S. cities. There continues to be substantial unmet need for more permanent supportive housing and affordable housing in order to rapidly re-house individuals and families experiencing homelessness. “Best Practices” within the state and throughout the nation have shown that permanent housing supports the most rapid return to self-sufficiency and independence at the most affordable cost to the community. 3 Allocation of Funds The 2011 Lottery funds were utilized as part of the Coordinated Homeless Program for state fiscal year (SFY) 2012 contracts (July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012). Appendix A is a detailed spreadsheet of the allocations by contract provider, county, and service. Allocation of SFY2012 Lottery funds was made using a combination of Census data, reported number of persons experiencing homelessness and leveling factor of 20% to determine allocations for each of the three regions. This methodology was applied to existing contracts and resulted in an allocation of $521,333 to 12 contractors serving Maricopa County, an allocation of $156,685 to five contractors serving Pima County and an allocation of $321,982 to 15 contractors serving the Balance of State. Purposes and Results The majority of the funding (62 percent) was used to purchase 32,821 additional bed nights of Emergency Shelter. Contractors of Homeless Emergency Shelter provide immediate, shortterm shelter to persons who are without shelter or a fixed place of residence. Emergency shelter may be provided for a period of up to 120 days. This service is intended to protect the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of eligible individuals and families. The basic service includes immediate short-term shelter, case planning and advocacy, and supportive intervention. Some contractors additionally provide enhanced (supportive) services that may include move-in assistance, transportation, childcare, meals, job training, and special needs. Twenty-six percent of the funds were used to purchase 16,166 additional bed nights of Transitional Housing. Contractors of Homeless Transitional Housing provide long-term shelter for a period of up to two years to people experiencing homelessness that are sufficiently stabilized to pursue some level of self-sufficiency, but may require additional supportive services. Ultimately, the goal of transitional housing is to facilitate movement to permanent housing. Types of transitional housing may be individual houses or apartments for independent living, or congregate housing facilities that may be supervised or unsupervised. This service includes shelter and a case management component to assist clients toward self-sufficiency and may include supportive services which can consist of move-in assistance, transportation, childcare, meals, and job training. Twelve percent of the funds were used to purchase 5,948 hours of Case Management/Outreach. Contractors of Case Management/Outreach provide services to people experiencing homelessness and living in a non-residential setting, such as on the streets, in a car, or a structure not meant for human habitation. This service is intended to establish a relationship with an individual or family in order to enhance their functioning and/or integration into the community. When appropriate, the goal of the case management process is to assess the needs of a client and to determine and assist in the incremental steps the client must take to move toward self-sufficiency. Conclusion It is estimated that over 42.5 percent of Arizonans currently experiencing homelessness are doing so for the first time. Many families who have been able to maintain self-sufficiency in the past 4 are no longer able to do so. The continuation of these funds is necessary to maintain the current level of support, which still falls short of meeting current needs. Due to the current economic environment, it is unlikely that homelessness in the state will decrease significantly in the near future. Therefore the services of Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, and Case Management/Outreach will continue to be critical to individuals and families in temporary crisis. 5 Appendix A Arizona Department of Economic Security 2012 Homeless Lottery Funds Allocation Allocation by Service CONTRACTOR COUNTY 2012 Allocation Emergency Shelter Transitional Housing Case Management Total % RURAL CATHOLIC CHARITIES SERVING FLAGSTAFF HORIZON HUMAN SERVICES, INC HORIZON HUMAN SERVICES, INC BISBEE COALITION COMMUNITY ACTION HUMAN RESOURCES AGENCY CATHOLIC CHARITIES COCONINO CATHOLIC CHARITIES YAVAPAI CROSSROADS MISSION GOOD NEIGHBOR ALLIANCE THE SALVATION ARMY-WHITE MTN.
