Crisis Transitional Housing for Homeless LGBTQ+ Youth

Bread and Roses, the first crisis transitional housing in Pima County for homeless LBGTQ+ youth has opened its doors. Homeless youth that identify as LGBTQ+ frequently have difficulty finding crisis transitional housing where they feel protected and respected. Bread and Roses offers a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for LBGTQ+ youth, ages 18 to 24.The program aims to provide these youth the support needed at every step, so they can permanently leave the streets, secure stable housing, and build self-sufficient, fulfilling lives.OPCS ( Old Pueblo Community Services)and SAAF (Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation) are collaborative partners in this project.

LGBTQ+ youth comprise up to 40% of the homeless youth population in our country, despite only being 5 to 8 percent of the total youth population. They are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than non-LGBTQ+ youth and often are refused entry to emergency housing due to their sexual orientation or gender expression. They are also at a heightened risk of violence and abuse compared to their cisgender and heterosexual peers. Transgender youth are particularly at physical risk due to a lack of acceptance and are often turned away from emergency housing sites; in some parts of the U.S.signs have been posted barring their entrance. Homeless LBGTQ+ youth in our community encounter some of these barriers. Data collected by the Pima County Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) indicates that fewer than 5% of homeless youth making use of homeless services report identifying as LGBTQ+. However, research conducted with local youth service agencies show rates of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness ranging from 21% to 46.5% of the overall homeless youth population in our county. This discrepancy suggests that young people are uncomfortable or feel unsafe disclosing sexual orientation and/or true gender identity during Coordinated Entry assessment and intake processes. Many report that they would rather "go it alone on the streets" than face the potential violence of existing systems.

To address these fears of unsafe housing options, OPCS and SAAF have partnered to establish Bread & Roses, the first transitional housing site of its kind in Pima County. The housing site can house up to 8 youth at a time. The goal is to help 24+ participants move into permanent housing each year. In addition to housing, youth will be supported from entry to exit by a case manager, counselor, housing navigator, health specialist, employment coach, and substance abuse therapist. The program will also offer group activities designed to facilitate connection, provide pro-social opportunities, and build skills, community and culture. This is a low-barrier project based on Housing First principles, and as such, welcomes couples and service animals. Youth can apply to this program through TPCH's Coordinated Entry Homeless Assistance Access Points. The program takes its name after "Bread and Roses"- a poem by James Oppenheim inspired by a slogan from a 1912 textile worker's strike. It is now considered an anthem in support of the labor movement and for others seeking justice, dignity, and equality. A verse of the poem, which reads: Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us bread, but give us roses reflects the mission of Bread and Roses in providing more than a transitional housing site for LGBTQ+ youth, but also a place for them to flourish.

For more information on this new program, Bread & Roses, please contact Michael Lopez, Associate Director of LGBTQ Prevention Services, at mlopez@saaf.org or call (520) 547-6109.

To promote health, well-being, and social justice for those living with
HIV, LGBTQ+ individuals, and communities marginalized by society.

Starting Out Right for Homeless Parenting Youth Program

Recognizing that safe and stable homes for homeless or near homeless pregnant and parenting youth and their children are not readily available in Arizona, Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP) designed and established the Starting Out Right for Homeless Parenting Youth Program (SOR HPYP); a community and volunteer-based program utilizing an innovative host home model.
What is a host home?
We're glad you asked. Host home caregivers open their safe and stable homes, and their generous hearts, to a homeless or near homeless pregnant or parenting youth, ages 16-21, and their child. Acting as a host home caregiver is a powerful and unique experience and proves to be gratifying and empowering for all involved.

Each host home has a designated SOR HPYP Case Manager to help support the relationship between the host home family and the pregnant or parenting youth and their child, while providing seamless supportive services to guide the young family towards a successful future. Items such as pack-n-plays, car seats and highchairs are provided by the SOR HPYP Case Manager. Additionally, host home caregivers are provided a monthly stipend of $200 to help offset the costs related to caring for the pregnant or parenting youth and their child. Initially, home caregivers that complete an application and are approved to move through the host home process to become a host home caregiver, are eligible to receive an additional one-time stipend of $500 once the youth is placed in the host home.

Host homes will be established in 6 Arizona counties: Gila, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo, Pima, and Yavapai. Please consider opening your home and your heart to this vulnerable population by completing an application below.

More information about the program model is available here

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Homelessness is one of Tucson's most visible challenges. Yet service needs, outcomes, and access to housing resources vary across different populations, calling for unique and targeted approaches.

After recording small decreases in the number of people experiencing homelessness on a given night from 2017 to 2019, data from Point in Time (PIT) Counts demonstrated a sharp increase from 2019 to 2020 (pre-COVID-19 pandemic). Between 2019 and 2020, unsheltered homelessness increased 60.3%. When considering data reported through the unsheltered Point in Time count, sheltered Point in Time count, and shelter beds not included in the 2020 sheltered Point in Time count, the overall number of people experiencing homelessness on a single given night in Pima County rose by 20.9%, from 1,372 in 2019 to 1,660 in 2020.

Factors related to one's age, race, or any number of lived experiences such as behavioral health or domestic violence history put populations at increased risk of experiencing homelessness as well as the most dangerous harms related to homelessness, up to and including death.

History in the Criminal Justice System

Populations with a history of involvement in the criminal justice system and mental illnesses or substance abuse are particularly at-risk to experience homelessness. Between 10% and 25% of people exiting correctional institutions experience homelessness, and many experienced homelessness prior to incarceration. Research shows that formerly-incarcerated individuals reentering the community who suffer from mental health and/or substance abuse disorder face significant barriers in securing stable housing and necessary treatment, resulting in higher rates of recidivism, homelessness, and poor health outcomes. Also, formerly-incarcerated sex-offenders experience several barriers to stable housing. There are currently 122 registered sex-offenders in Tucson that are experiencing homelessness.

Individuals with Mental Illness

The rate of unsheltered homelessness among adults with serious mental illness has increased faster than the rate of any other population. The Point in Time count revealed the percentage of adults with serious mental illness who are unsheltered has risen dramatically from 28.2% in 2017 to 53.2% in 2020.

Domestic Violence Survivors

Survivors of domestic violence and people living with HIV/AIDS experiencing homelessness are significantly more likely to be sheltered than unsheltered. Adult survivors of domestic violence experiencing homelessness were 2.5 times more likely to be sheltered than unsheltered in the 2020 Point in Time count. Adults living with HIV/AIDS experiencing homelessness were 7.8 times more likely to be sheltered than unsheltered in the 2020 Point in Time count.

Veterans

Veterans experiencing homelessness comprised 8% of the emergency shelter beds in the 2020 Point in Time count. About a third (61 individuals) of the homeless veteran population (185 individuals) were reported unsheltered. Moreover, of those unsheltered veterans experiencing homelessness, 23 individuals were reported to be chronically homeless.

Race and Ethnicity

Black/African American and Native American/American Indian communities are dramatically over-represented in the homeless population relative to their representation in the broader community.

Youth

In Pima County in 2020, there are an estimated 1,515 total unaccompanied youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness, 352 parenting/pregnant youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness, 669 youth at risk of experiencing homelessness, and 1,198 youth experiencing homelessness. There is a significant shortage of short-term crisis housing designated for unaccompanied youth, presenting obstacles to reducing youth homelessness. Several specific youth populations experiencing homelessness encounter unique challenges, including LGBTQ+, youth of color, unaccompanied minors and youth involved in justice or child welfare, and pregnant and parenting minors.

Evidence demonstrates it is critical to implement intervention as urgently as possible. Fifty percent (50%) of chronically homeless adults reported being homeless between 18 and 24 years old. Moreover, every additional day of waiting between assessment and housing placement is associated with a 2% increase in a youth's likelihood of returning to homelessness after entering a housing program.

The number of people experiencing chronic homelessness has steadily increased since 2017. On the night of the 2020 Point in Time count, a total of 383 persons experiencing chronic homelessness were identified, up from 225 in 2017. People experiencing chronic homelessness are especially vulnerable to death on the streets.

Point in Time count data point to a growing population of unsheltered persons experiencing chronic homelessness and a relatively small proportion of persons experiencing chronic homelessness residing in longer-term supportive housing. This data indicates a critical need to improve the region's Coordinated Entry system through which persons are prioritized for housing based on vulnerability.

The goal of an effective homeless response system is to quickly identify persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness and provide housing and services through which they can achieve housing stability. The Mayor and Tucson City Council have emphasized the need for a Housing First approach as this model is proven to be a best practice in reducing homelessness. However, there is a need for shared definitions, community wide planning, and clear expectations among funding providers with respect to the Housing First model and "low-barrier/low-demand" shelters. Without a clearly articulated definition or consistent expectations, projects operate along a continuum of approaches with limited oversight or monitoring.

An August 2020 HCD staff review of ongoing challenges and targeted solutions related to the effectiveness and efficiency of Tucson's homeless response system revealed the following takeaways:

A shortage of and lack of formal coordination among outreach and housing navigator services contributes to long periods of time spent homeless before making contact with the homeless response system. On average, persons served through local homeless assistance programs spent 13.8 months in unsheltered or temporarily sheltered environments before moving into permanent housing.

Underutilization of existing temporary shelter and supportive housing beds illustrates the need to maximize existing resources. On the night of the 2020 Point in Time count, the 581 unused temporary shelter and supportive housing beds in Tucson/Pima County outnumbered those experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

Lack of real-time bed availability, direct referral pathways, and dynamic prioritization through the Coordinated Entry system leaves persons seeking shelter often unable to find an available opening.

Unsheltered persons and those in temporary shelters on the night of the 2020 Point in Time count (1,324) outnumbered unoccupied longer-term supportive housing beds (240) by more than 5 to 1.

A lack of affordable housing for extremely low-income renters in Tucson and rising housing costs as described below also contributes to homelessness in Tucson. A high rate of return to homelessness after receiving services indicates a need for more intensive supportive service interventions.
