Ending Homelessness 2017 Pasadena Homeless Count
INCREASE HOUSING SUPPLY By developing new permanent supportive housing units and strengthening landlord relationships.
CONTINUED OUTREACH
Build trust through continued outreach

LIMITED HOUSING High rents & low vacancy rates mean very few units accept permanent supportive housing (PSH) vouchers. As a result there is a need for more PSH units.
SERVICE RESISTANCE Individuals with highest needs continue to be the most service resistant.
MEASURE H Will provide additional funding for homeless services
INCREASED NEED FOR SERVICES The current chronically homeless population has significant service needs
