About
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND TBRA In 2019, Our Neighbors' Place continued to operate a transitional housing program designed to stabilize and rehouse families experiencing homelessness in one of the most expensive and selective rental markets in the state of Wisconsin. Residing in a 4-unit building in a quiet neighborhood in River Falls under the care of a professional case manager, families have the potential to stay for up to 24 months. They contribute 30% of their income toward rent as they work toward their individual goals of securing permanent housing. In April of 2016, ONP signed a memorandum of understanding with WestCAP to provide Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to address the need for affordable rental housing for low-income households with at least one disabled member and who are experiencing homelessness or who are imminently at risk of homelessness. To this end, WestCAP and Our Neighbors' Place agreed to work together to assist these individuals and families in Pierce and St. Croix Counties with Tenant Based Rental Assistance grant funds. This agreement has since been renewed; the purpose is to serve households by providing safe, affordable housing and case management services to program participants. Under this arrangement, Our Neighbors' Place serves as a referral source for the TBRA program, and WestCAP provides program operations functions. ONP screens all applicants, determines eligibility, completes certification of homelessness; secures medical statement of disability; refers program applicants to other community based services including applying for Section 8 housing assistance; completes all program documentation; secures statement of earnings; and completes monthly service reports. WestCAP provides security deposits and the rental assistance funds; pays housing assistance payments to landlords on behalf of program participants; conducts housing inspections; assists in negotiating lease changes and evictions; assists in handling landlord/tenant complaints; and conducts re-certifications. WestCAP and Our Neighbors' Place coordinate and integrate the TBRA program with other mainstream resources, including health, social services, and employment programs for which our clients experiencing homelessness may be eligible. These services are coordinated through formal and informal systems among area service providers. This year (2019), 62 households were placed in housing after direct contact with the case manager. Of these: 8 households were housed via TBRA (Tenant Based Rental Assistance). 5 families were housed via Our Neighbors' Place Transitional Housing for Families. 33 households were housed by diversion through Housing Counseling. 16 households were housed by referral through Coordinated Assessment and Prioritization. An additional 95 households were placed on the prioritization list awaiting housing.
