The U.S. reports that there is a national average of nearly
600,000 individuals experiencing homelessness each night. Homelessness is disproportionately high among
those identifying as Black or African American; American Indian, Alaska Native,
Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian; or Hispanic/Latino. People with
disabilities are also more likely to experience homelessness. Since 2016,
homelessness has been increasing, and the COVID-19 pandemic made finding and
retaining stable housing more difficult.
Bay Aging’s housing partnerships and programs have been on the ground combatting the issue of homelessness. They have recently released an eight-page case study entitled “Bay Aging Partnerships Bring Help and Hope to People Experiencing Homelessness. The case study was produced in conjunction with the USAging/ACL webinar, ACL’s Housing and Services Resource Center, with support from Hunter LeClair, Bay Aging Assistant Director, Multifamily Housing Management.
Starting with a general overview of homelessness and the need for partnerships in housing and services, this case study describes Bay Aging’s housing partnerships and programs that helped the AAA address homelessness and promote housing stability. Bay Aging has also had an impact in the greater community as a founding member and leader of the Northern Neck Middle Peninsula Housing Coalition. This case study features the award-winning results of these collaborations as well as suggestions that organizations can use to form housing and supportive services partnerships of their own.
