Our special thanks to all our members and guest speakers for making our 25th Annual Meeting a great success!
Our virtual gathering included voting in new members for the SHA Board of Trustees and important updates on SHA's three current projects including the Integrated Community Project, The Housing Navigation Project, and the Affordable Housing Data Project. SHA also started the member renewal cycle and greatly appreciates all members who respond with their dues and details to keep our Association strong.
We greatly appreciated state updates from Amy Scartocci from DDD and Justin Scheid from HUD before moving on to the main topic of the day.
With guests including Michael Callahan, Director Office of Homelessness NJ Department of Community Affairs, Eileen O’Donnell, Executive Director, Coming Home Middlesex, Julia Orlando, Director - Bergen County Housing, Health, & Human Services Center, and Richard Uniacke, President, Bridges Outreach, Inc., members learned about the tools and practices that are helping to streamline the process of addressing homelessness and getting resources to align for maximum effectiveness. Using these strategies, it is possible to create systems supporting many different populations and get numbers down to make homelessness rare and quickly addressed with services.

Biden Administration Helps End Homelessness For More Than 140,000 People Using Housing First Approach | |
|
HUD, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced on January 26 that more than 140,000 people experiencing homelessness have been permanently housed using the Housing First approach, an evidence-based strategy that quickly connects people to homes and helps them access voluntary services, such as substance use treatment, peer support, and employment services.
Through “House America,” a national initiative to address the homelessness crisis, HUD and USICH helped 105 communities permanently house more than 100,000 households experiencing homelessness and add over 40,000 deeply affordable housing units to their development pipelines. Furthermore, the VA helped permanently house more than 40,000 veterans experiencing homelessness in 2022, exceeding by 6.3 percent the department’s goal of housing 38,000 veterans. The Biden administration’s efforts to end homelessness are rooted in the Housing First approach. Housing First is backed by decades of research and has garnered bipartisan support from Republican and Democratic administrations, policymakers, experts, and people with lived expertise.

National Equity Fund (NEF) Announces $2.1B
In Affordable Housing Investments for 2022
| |
|
CHICAGO -- National Equity Fund (NEF) provided near-record levels of financing to support affordable homes across the country, despite the economic headwinds that the affordable housing industry faced in the second half of the year. The nonprofit raised and deployed more than $2.1 billion in affordable housing investments, nearly matching the record production of $2.2 billion from the previous year. The 2022 results included over $1.2 billion in LIHTC investments and nearly $900 million in preservation lending and workforce housing investments to provide housing for the nation's "missing middle". In total, these investments created and preserved 15,500 affordable homes in 2022.
In 2022, NEF took a major step to expand its ability to provide mission-driven capital to affordable housing developments through an ownership stake in the creation of CPC Mortgage Company, the only nonprofit lender with a suite of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) products to provide flexible Agency mortgage capital in communities where it is needed most. Other notable activities for the year included a partnership to provide $250 million in committed lending capital to BRIDGE Housing to help accelerate the delivery of affordable and workforce housing to families and communities, and a strategic technology investment in Esusu Financial, Inc. to help bridge the racial wealth gap for residents of affordable housing.

DDD Updates:
Community Care Program And Supports Program Manuals
| |
 | |
The Division has updated program manuals for its Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers, the Community Care Program and Supports Program. A summary of all changes can be found on page two of each respective manual, with detail in the respective section indicated. The February 23rd DDD Update Webinar will provide a detailed overview of the changes. While all updates are important, the Division wishes to highlight the below change that will be of interest to Support Coordinators and individuals utilizing Self-Directed Employees (SDEs).
Self-Directed Employee (SDE) Wages – To date, the Division’s policy had been that SDE wages were to be Reasonable and Customary - being between the prevailing minimum wage and $25 per hour, with wages above that range being permitted in limited circumstances. Those limited circumstances were not sufficiently detailed so Section 8.3.2.0.1 and 8.3.2.0.2 have been added program manuals to better detail how SDE wages are arrived at. In summary, the new policy still allows the Reasonable and Customary wage range of the prevailing minimum wage to $25 per hour. However, it now details two additional defined Enhanced Reasonable and Customary wage ranges depending on the documented needs of the individual and education of the SDE. Please see the Community Care Program or Supports Program Manual for more detail.
Each manual can be found at (Please hit Refresh on your browser to be sure you are viewing the most recent version):

New Report Examines Housing Outcomes for Older Adults |  | |
A new report from the Alliance’s Homelessness Research Institute examines how factors like race, ethnicity, gender, age, and shelter status impact older adults’ exits from homelessness into housing.
Key findings include:
- Older adults disproportionately find permanent housing solutions outside of homelessness systems, and they may be facing barriers to receiving the help they need.
- Despite their increased needs, older adults are more likely to be connected to Rapid Re-Housing than more intensive permanent supportive housing solutions.
- Whether or not an older adult was sheltered had a clear impact on the type of housing intervention through which they exited homelessness.
- Older Black adults continue to face inequities in housing placements, and receive a disproportionately smaller share of RRH or PSH connections.
- Most older adults experiencing homelessness were men, but women received a disproportionately higher level of permanent supportive housing services.

NJAAW Announces Partnership To Help Age 50+ Residents Find Work With Age-Friendly Employers | |
|
• New Jersey Advocates for Aging Well (NJAAW) sees unique opportunity for NJ employers to address talent shortages through participation in Certified Age-Friendly Employer™ (CAFE) program
• New Jersey older adults who consider age an impediment in their job search will know which employers’ doors to knock on first when it comes to working in “retirement”
• CAFE Program, hailed as “New National Model” by the U.S. Labor Secretary, is now addressing workforce needs across all industries
WALTHAM, MA and HAMILTON, NJ, USA -- January 26, 2023 — NJAAW (New Jersey Advocates for Aging Well) and the Age-Friendly Institute announced a partnership to make it easier for older New Jersey residents to land work with employers that proactively recruit and retain age 50+ employees. Age-Friendly Institute President Tim Driver and NJAAW Executive Director Cathy Rowe said “we’re delighted to join forces to better connect employers and older residents in the great state of New Jersey.”
The Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) Program, developed by a team of analysts and professionals with specializations in compensation, benefits and HR, began establishing best practices for being an age-friendly employer in 2006. There are hundreds of employers in the program across all industries, including both the private and public sectors.
As living and working longer is a phenomenon not limited to the Unites States, in 2022, the Age-Friendly Institute announced the CAFE program’s expansion into Canada and Brazil.

Zara Boss Pledges To Double
Disabled Workforce Within Two Years
| |
|
Zara owner Inditex has committed the Spanish fashion giant to doubling the number of disabled employees across its global workforce within two years. On Jan. 26, Inditex’s CEO, Oscar García Maceiras, signed a group endorsement of the International Labour Organization Global Business and Disability Network at a meeting with the ILO's Director-General, Gilbert F Houngbo, at the institution’s Geneva, Switzerland headquarters. It means Inditex will potentially hire 1,500 more staff worldwide in order to have at least 2% of its local headcount comprising differing abilities.
In the case of the Inditex initative, the company made its commitment to boost “the inclusion of people with differing abilities across its stores, logistics platforms, warehouses and offices worldwide” as part of its aim to “consistently outperform the disabled employee thresholds required in the various jurisdictions in which it operates”, the company said. Moreover, in markets where there are no specific requirements, Inditex pledged to the 2% local headcount.
