Service ModelsâProject-Based
Project-based service models are more common in urban areas, where multifamily housing is typical at all income levels, and where public and private grant and loan funds often are combined to finance affordable housing for general and specific populations.
Project-based with on-site services. Women Aware, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, offers a permanent housing program, opened in 2013, but it is extremely smallâjust three units. Women Aware rehabilitated an existing building and maintains the building; the local public housing authority collects residentsâ rents. Women Aware differs from some other housing providers in that it directs its services at households that it deems to be particularly needy in terms of services and financial support, rather than those that are high-functioning and thus likely to achieve outcomes desired by funders. All of the participants in this program were prior residents of the organizationâs emergency shelter, and were identified by program leaders as their âhighest riskâ families, who needed intensive case management and would have trouble achieving stability without extra support. The program uses case managers from its emergency shelter to provide flexible supports to survivors as they become more stable. Because its staff also provides services at the shelter, the program can afford to provide a range of services despite its small size. Services include support groups, trauma art therapy, legal advocacy, batterer intervention, and immigration advocacy.
The model developed by Women Aware is based heavily in on-site, trauma-informed services provided directly by Women Aware staff. The programâs services are funded in part with federal Shelter+ Care funding, which is targeted to homeless people with disabilities. Women Aware uses the trauma experienced by children in these households in order to meet the disability criteria for the funding. The organization attaches the disability to the children rather than the adults because providers did not want a mental health diagnosis to cause custody problems for a parent down the road. The Prudence Crandall Center in Connecticut developed and now operates Rose Hill, another project-based permanent supportive housing program using funds designated for individuals for disabilities. In contrast to Women Aware, at Rose Hill the women are the ones identified as having disabilities. We discuss Rose Hill, one of our case studies, in more depth in the following two chapters.
