team. Such partners can be tapped at different parts of the planning and
implementation processes for input and support.
o The leadership team may consider designating a CoC representative familiar
with the community to project manage the team and the process throughout.
• Resources Inventory Preparation
o This tab is designed to help you prepare to complete the Resources Inventory,
a separate tool, which allows a community to compile a list of the resources that
can be used for Moving On and identify gaps that need to be filled.
o This tab includes pre-filled questions that the leadership team may ask itself and
relevant stakeholders in order to identify what resources are needed for the
initiative, what is already available, and which stakeholders should be engaged in
order to further discussions about resources. All of the prefilled items in the chart
are suggestions, and communities can feel free to use, modify, or delete any of
the items that are not relevant to the community’s Moving On initiative.
o A note about the first two questions – the inquiries about site-based/single-site
and scattered-site PSH units are meant to help the leadership team understand
the landscape. This provides a general sense of the universe of potential clients
(all clients in supportive housing). The question about scattered-site units is
meant to help the leadership team understand what level of demand there may
be for ‘transition in place’ moving on, in which scattered-site tenants who are
ready and want to move on from services are given the option of continuing to
live in their current unit with a different housing subsidy. In all cases, tenants in
scattered-site housing should still have the option to move to a new location, if
that is what they prefer. If a community’s PSH stock is largely scattered-site,
leaders should factor that into consideration when making determinations about
the amount of moving-related resources (e.g. housing navigation, application
fees, movers, etc.) needed for the initiative.
o The leadership team may consider designating the local PHA, or in cases where
there are multiple PHAs or affordable housing providers with a large inventory in
an area, the government agency that oversees housing, as the lead for
completing this tab, because answering most of the questions will require access
to and information from the PHA(s).
• Local Assessment
o This tab provides space to track questions that communities want to answer as
they design the services packages that will be offered to Moving On tenants, as
well as the design of efforts to train and support PSH staff that will be working
with tenants.
o There are several questions for consideration built into the template, based on
the experience of other communities implementing Moving On. These are
suggestions, and communities can choose to use and/or edit any or all of these
questions and associated information, and to insert additional questions/methods
of collecting information as appropriately locally.
o The leadership team may consider designating a PSH provider or other
leadership team member with expertise in services and program design and
access to PSH providers and tenants as the lead for completing work on this tab.
