Since 1995, the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness has served as the lead agency for the Pasadena Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care (CoC) is a planning process implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1994. As one of the largest sources of federal funding for programs that address the needs of people who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless, HUD recognized the need for a more coordinated, collaborative, and community-driven approach to allocating resources to communities. The Continuum of Care process is the process by which communities identify local needs, develop strategies, and submit a single application to HUD for funding for programs designed to meet the needs in the community.

The Pasadena Partnership is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from the community. In its role as the lead agency for the CoC, the Pasadena Partnership promotes integrated, community-wide strategies and plans to prevent and end homelessness; provides coordination among the numerous local organizations and initiatives that serve the homeless population, and manage the CoC’s single, comprehensive grant application to HUD for McKinney-Vento funding which includes Continuum of Care funds and State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds.

Rapid Re-Housing Written Standards

In accordance with Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (24 CFR) 91.220(l)(4)(i), 576, and 578, the City of Pasadena (City) and the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness (Pasadena CoC) have developed the following written standards. These standards will apply to all projects that receive Pasadena Continuum of Care (CoC) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) rapid re-housing (RRH) funding and are intended as basic minimum standards to which ESG and CoC grantees can add additions and more stringent standards applicable to their own projects. In addition, all RRH projects must comply with the applicable Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) under which the project was originally awarded.

The goal of these standards is to synthesize key elements of the HUD regulations with the processes and priorities of the Pasadena CoC and ensure that the RRH program is administered fairly and methodically. The City and the Pasadena CoC will continue to build upon and refine this document.

RRH Written Standards

The Rapid Re-Housing Written Standards detail the target population, eligibility criteria, record keeping requirements and program requirements for ESG- and CoC-funded projects.
