Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Aspire Health Partners Homelessness Partnership Agreement in the amount of $152,420 to continue providing services for Seminole County’s chronically homeless population. Countywide (Carrie Longsworth, Division Manager)

Through participation in the local Continuum of Care (CoC) and based on the community need identified by the Seminole Action Board, Seminole County Community Services and Aspire Health Partners have partnered to increase the number of chronically homeless individuals served in Seminole County.  The funding for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 will continue housing stabilization case management services for the chronically homeless through permanent supportive housing for clients who have been housed and seeking housing.

The two Case Management positions will continue to leverage housing resources for up to 30 chronically homeless Seminole County residents by accessing rental subsidies from the Continuum of Care (CoC) funding managed by Homeless Service Network (HSN).  In addition, the funding will maintain safety protocols and expansion of outreach services in Seminole County.

Staff recommends the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Aspire Health Partners Homelessness Partnership Agreement in the amount of $152,420 to continue providing services for Seminole County’s chronically homeless population.
