Project Outcomes Data measured under the performance standards developed in consultation with the CoC(s) The emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons will be addressed through emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, and case management. The following initiatives provide more detail: 1. The City of Raleigh, Wake County and the Partnership to Prevent and End Homelessness (the Continuum of Care) formed a single entity to release a combined Request for Proposals (RFP) for to fund the following ESG-eligible activities: Homelessness Prevention, Emergency Shelter, Rapid Re-housing, and the computer based Homeless Management Information System. The RFP is for the CoC-wide distribution of City of Raleigh ESG entitlement funds, local Wake County funds for homeless housing services, and the annual application for State ESG funds, which is coordinated by the Partnership. This combined funding process will simplify the application for providers, streamline the contracting and reimbursement process, and enable the CoC to provide consistent services to consumers. The result will be more efficiency in working toward a seamless safety net for households who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless. 2. There is a great need in the Raleigh/Wake Continuum of Care for additional shelter beds for single women.

To address this need, Wake County Human Services has been working with other local agencies to operate more shelter beds. A Request for Qualifications will be issued to locate a developer/operator of increased shelter beds for single women. 3. The South Wilmington Street Center for men will continue to operate 234 beds for emergency shelter and its Progressive Housing Program, In addition, there are eight other agencies in Wake County that provide shelter, five agencies that provide transitional housing (including Wake County owned units at
