  2. IN - HPRP Individuals and Families at eminent risk of homelessness Individuals and Families living on street, shelter/ transitional or places not fit for human habitation

  3. IN - HPRP

  4. IN - HPRP HPRP is Launched! • I-HOPE is up and operating • HMIS users are active • Needy Hoosiers are applying • There are no riots (yet)

  5. IN - HPRP Topics • Rent Calculations • Utility Assistance • Appeals • Getting the I-HOPE to Shelters

  6. IN - HPRP Rent Calculations: The spreadsheet will calculate the applicant’s share of the rent once the information is completely entered.

  7. IN - HPRP Utility Allowance:

  8. IN - HPRP Appeals: • Each Central Access Agency and C of C must have an appeal process. • Appeals are based on a determination made after a full in person assessment that an applicant is not eligible and must be in writing. • IHCDA will receive and handle written appeals only! Telephone calls from applicants will be referred back to the Central Access Agency.

  9. IN - HPRP Appeals: • A written form has been developed and will be distributed. It need not replace an existing form or process that has the expected components for an appeal. • Appeals must be related to a substantive issue, e.g. incorrect calculation of income or lack of documentation of imminent eviction. • Appeals should be handled in an expedited process – no longer than 5 working days.

  10. IN - HPRP I-HOPE: • Presently, only the HPRP portion of the I-HOPE is available. This limits its suitability as a widespread prescreening tool. • Persons who complete the I-HOPE remotely do not receive feedback on why they may be ineligible for HPRP support. • The criteria for exclusion from HPRP benefits are “hard wired” into the I-HOPE and can be arbitrary, especially for persons who may have been sheltered for some time, e.g. families.

  11. IN - HPRP I-Hope: • We will be temporarily making the I-Hope accessible to authorized users only. All persons completing the tool will be assigned a number (so that reasons for rejection may be seen.) • The public visiting the web site will see a list of the Central Access agency for their region/ county. • Once the full I-Hope tool is complete, with all homeless services included, we may make it publically available again. • In the meantime, we will strongly encourage shelters to have their case managers become I-HOPE users.

  12. IN - HPRP Intake Assessment: The assessment, as designed by Andrea White, is under revision and will be distributed early next week. It is presently a paper form but will also be available as a “form” within the HMIS. IHCDA is still considering whether this assessment will be fully embedded into the AWARDS software. The assessment is not primarily a qualification instrument for the HPRP; it is designed to assist in developing active, goal directed housing case plans.
