Specific Homeless Prevention Elements *Please also refer to the Homeless Needs Table in the Needs.xls workbook. Sources of Funds-Identify the private and public resources that the jurisdiction expects to receive during the next year to address homeless needs and to prevent homelessness. These include the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act programs, other special federal, state and local and private funds targeted to homeless individuals and families with children, especially the chronically homeless, the HUD formula programs, and any publicly-owned land or property. Please describe, briefly, the jurisdiction's plan for the investment and use of funds directed toward homelessness. 2. Homelessness-In a narrative, describe how the action plan will address the specific objectives of the Strategic Plan and, ultimately, the priority needs identified. Please also identify potential obstacles to completing these action steps. 3. Chronic homelessness-The jurisdiction must describe the specific planned action steps it will take over the next year aimed at eliminating chronic homelessness by 2012. Again, please identify barriers to achieving this. 4. Homelessness Prevention-The jurisdiction must describe its planned action steps over the next year to address the individual and families with children at imminent risk of becoming homeless. 5. Discharge Coordination Policy-Explain planned activities to implement a cohesive, community-wide Discharge Coordination Policy, and how, in the coming year, the community will move toward such a policy. Program Year 5 Action Plan Special Needs response: The County does not administer the Homeless programs and will, therefore, defer to the State of Hawai ~i's Action Plan. The County is a component of the Homeless Interagency Council of Hawai ~i (ICH) - a conglomerate of Government and service providers that seek solutions to address statewide chronic homelessness. The ICH has drafted aten-year plan to end chronic homelessness. The plan includes homeless prevention, and discharge coordination policy and the County will, therefore, defer to the State's Action Plan. The County's Consolidated Plan includes the HUD's "Performance Measures Mode/. The Model sets Objectives, Outcomes, Activities, Indicators, and Output for the next five years. Please see the attached Homeless Performance Measures Model Chart for the County's Homeless objectives. Fifth Program Year Action Plan 11 Version 2.0
