How The City of Phoenix is Working to Address Homelessnesshttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/human-services/2266Human Services3/11/2022 8:30:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2266/Newsroom_HSD_001.pngHow The City of Phoenix is Working to Address Homelessness<div class="ExternalClass6F88F586D29748A9A3BA2FA1DABCF0EC"><html>The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) released the <a href="https://azmag.gov/Portals/0/Homelessness/PIT-Count/2022/2022-2014_Unsheltered-Street-Count-by-Municipality.pdf?ver=BVaJMWAetqGlbxwUGnDTjw%3d%3d" target="_blank">data</a> today from its 2022 Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count. The PIT Count is an annual street and shelter count to determine the number of people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County during a given point in time, as part of a national effort to identify the extent of homelessness nationwide. The numbers reflect a two-year increase since the 2021 count was not conducted due to the COVID pandemic.<br><br>The pandemic strained economies worldwide. In our community, it resulted in the loss of jobs that hit low-wage earners particularly hard, putting them at greater risk of experiencing homelessness. Rising housing costs in the region also make more people vulnerable to homelessness. According to the PIT Homeless Count, the number of people experiencing homelessness within the City of Phoenix was 3,096. Due to the Covid-19 Crisis and the rise in housing and rental prices, the City of Phoenix anticipated an increase in homelessness and has taken steps to help mitigate the situation.<br><br>This fiscal year, the City dedicated nearly $50 million for homelessness solutions to provide shelters, rapid rehousing, outreach, and mental health services through partnerships with various community organizations and nonprofits.<br><br><strong style="text-decoration:underline;">Homelessness Solutions:</strong><br style="text-decoration:underline;"><br><strong>Shelters:</strong> $27.9 million.<br>A Sprung Structure is currently being constructed on the Human Services Campus (HSC) which will add 100 new beds and additional restrooms in the area. That project is expected to be complete in mid-March 2022. The City of Phoenix also funded 175 new beds at Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS). Additional funding provides an emergency crisis shelter for families at Chicanos Por La Causa, a shelter for veterans with 145 rooms, an emergency shelter for vulnerable seniors as well as COVID-19 emergency shelters.<br><br><strong>Rapid Rehousing:</strong> $4.7 million.<br>The City of Phoenix contracted with community partners CASS, A New Leaf, Inc. & UMOM to provide COVID-19 Rapid Rehousing for families, single women & single men. The City also contracted with Community Bridges, Inc. (CBI) for Rapid Rehousing bridge support and Native American Connections (NAC) for Rapid Rehousing support for youth.<br><br><strong>Outreach Services:</strong> $8.3 million.<br>The City of Phoenix prioritizes leading with services when it comes to those experiencing homelessness and recognizes that there are unique populations that require specialized services to best meet their needs. The City provides outreach and engagement services for persons experiencing homelessness through contracts with various community partners. Services include veteran navigation & coordination services, navigation & wraparound services for justice-involved individuals, COVID-19 support for seniors experiencing homelessness, and COVID-19 related homelessness prevention. Community partners include CBI, HSC, Southwest Behavioral & Health Services (SWBH), Justa Center, U.S. Vets, Homeward Bound, and Phoenix Rescue Mission.<br><br><strong>Mental Health Services: </strong>$9 million.<br>The City of Phoenix has a tentative contract with Mercy Care, set to begin on or about April 2022, to provide mental health services for people experiencing homelessness.<br><br><strong style="text-decoration:underline;">Eviction Prevention:<br></strong><br style="text-decoration:underline;">Preventing the loss of housing through eviction prevention is a priority in the City of Phoenix. The U.S. Treasury has allocated 106 million dollars to the City of Phoenix for Emergency Rental Assistance to prevent residents from losing their homes. $51.1 million was allocated to begin ERA 1.0 on March 8, 2021. All ERA 1.0 program funds were disbursed as of January 2022. The Treasury allocated $55.3 million for ERA 2.0, the City began disbursement of those funds in October 2021. To date, $66,060,002 in rental assistance has been disbursed.<br><br>Additionally, through a partnership with <a href="https://clsaz.org/" target="_blank">Community Legal Services</a>, the city created the <a href="/humanservices/programs/landlord-tenant-counseling" target="_blank">Tenants Eviction Assistance Project (TEAP)</a>. TEAP provides no-cost legal assistance to residents experiencing an eviction crisis, including working cooperatively with local agencies administering COVID-19 related rental and utility assistance programs for the City of Phoenix, Maricopa County, and the state of Arizona.<br><br><strong style="text-decoration:underline;">Affordable Housing Initiatives:​​<br></strong><br>The City of Phoenix operates 1,567 public housing units, administers more than 7,000 Housing Choice Vouchers, and provides 1,200 housing units to seniors. The following are several of the City's major affordable housing initiatives:<br><br><strong>Housing Phoenix Plan: </strong>The Housing Phoenix plan was adopted by the Mayor & City Council in 2020 to continue to explore innovative and effective strategies to continue to provide critical affordable housing for the community.

Through December 2021, 23,090 units have been created or preserved.<br><br><strong>New affordable housing creation:</strong> The City of Phoenix invested approximately $5.8 million to develop 126 new affordable single-family detached homes for low- and moderate-income homebuyers in South Phoenix Village (SPV).<br><br><strong>Landlord Incentive Program:</strong> The City of Phoenix provided $500,000 in incentives to landlords for accepting vouchers, with another $1 million in the pipeline. 570 landlords have received incentive payments for executing 1,297 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contracts.

Phoenix Police Chief Outlines Progress on Council Initiated Improvementshttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/city-manager/3298City Manager12/11/2024 2:00:00 AMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3298/FullSizeRender.jpgPhoenix Police Chief Outlines Progress on Council Initiated Improvements<div class="ExternalClass59029C0FAA81413CAC0B3E7445B8D284"><html> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> </span><span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:14.6667px;">Under the leadership of the </span><a target="_blank" href="/mayorcouncil" style="background-color:window;"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Phoenix City Council</span></a><span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;font-size:14.6667px;">, the Phoenix Police Department has begun making significant improvements to policy, training and procedure. On Wednesday, December 10, 2024, Interim Police Chief Michael Sullivan and Executive Assistant Chief Dennis Orender presented Council with an update on the improvements made thus far, the initiatives in progress, and plans for future enhancements to public safety.</span></p> <p></p> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">“The Council and I appreciate Chief Sullivan's work to help bring about important changes to our police department and to continue fostering additional accountability, transparency and public trust with our community. Today's update shows we are making real progress on the recommendations the Council and I passed in September, and I look forward to seeing more of our initiatives move forward in the coming months," Mayor Kate Gallego said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;">The community will play a significant role in developing the plans for these improvements, with all major policy changes undergoing a period of public comment before finalization. The most recent example of this practice included sending out a draft of the new First Amendment Facilitation and Management Policy in late October. The Police Department received 72 comments from the public over a 30-day timeframe, and City staff are analyzing those suggestions before implementing the policy. The final draft of this policy is set to be completed by March, 2025.</span></span></p> <p></p> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> <span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;">“</span><span style="background-color:window;color:windowtext;">We are committed to enhancing the service we provide to this community, and I hope this presentation shows we are serious about the work," Interim Chief Sullivan said in City Council Chambers.</span></span></p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>Completed Initiatives</strong> </p> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">The first part of the presentation focused on direction from Mayor Kate Gallego and City Council that have been completed in the less than three-months since being approved. These projects include:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Implementation of a policy requiring all public-facing officers, including those in the Special Assignments Unit (SAU) to be outfitted with and use body-worn cameras.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">A new draft First Amendment Facilitation and Management Policy.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Convert temporary positions in the </span><a target="_blank" href="/solutions"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Office of H​omeless Solutions</span></a><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> (OHS) to permanent roles.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Create four additional civilian positions to make up a compliance analyst team.</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> <strong>In-Progress Improvements</strong> </p> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Phoenix City Council was presented with updates on many of the initiatives they approved that are currently in progress. Interim Chief Sullivan and Executive Assistant Chief Orender provided estimates and goals for when these projects will be finalized. The timeline for each in-progress enhancement can be found in the presentation itself, on the City's </span><a target="_blank" href="/police/doj"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">DOJ website.</span></a></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> <strong style="">Technology:</strong> Explore and begin implementing a new technology which helps those calling 9-1-1 get the help they need more quickly. A new voice activated intelligence system has been approved that will answer roughly 30% of non-emergency calls and free up 9-1-1 call takers to answer emergency calls faster.<br style=""></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> <strong style="">Professional Standards Bureau:</strong> The department is focused on several improvements to PSB. Work is underway on updating requirements to provide clear standards on the thoroughness of investigations, improve training for PSB staff, ensure use of force investigations explore whether an officer considered de-escalation strategies and tactics, review all aspects of an incident not just those in the scope of the initial complaint, and provide a written response to any citizen complaint explaining the findings. The Department is also developing a process where if the Chief imposes any employee discipline that is less than what is recommended by the Disciplinary Review Board, it will first have to be approved by the City Manager. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> </span><strong style="font-size:14.6667px;">Oversight:</strong><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> Efforts are underway right now to revise the Memorandum of Understanding between Police and the </span><a target="_blank" href="/accountability"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Office of​ Accountability and Transparency.</span></a><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> The Department is also implementing systems to provide written updates every three months to both the City Council and the Civilian Review Board on public safety reforms. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> <strong style="">Interaction with the Community:</strong> The Phoenix Police Department has several enhancements underway to improve interactions with various segments of the community. This includes a compliance framework for all vehicle and pedestrian stops, creating a clear policy on interactions with youth, developing cultural competency training, and making it easier to report complaints of police misconduct with a new hotline.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"> <strong style="">Vulnerable Populations:</strong> In 2025, the Phoenix Fire Department's Community Assistance Program (CAP) will have 24/7 coverage to assist those needing mental or behavioral health support when calling 911. The Police Department will also adopt policies on unattended property to align with those adopted by the Office of Homeless Solutions (OHS).</span></li> </ul> <p> <strong>Upcoming Improvements</strong> </p> <p><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">Executive Assistant Chief Dennis Orender presented a plan and timelines for improvement initiatives that will be upcoming.
