Timeline
When do you start serving planning?– You’ve already started! We did it first with
the project concept, continue planning for services throughout the dev process
– Service planning could have impact on different budgets, building design, partnerships, funding applications…
![Page 12: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Key Factors
Great deal of variation in the how, what, where, why and how of services provision from project to project
Factors that drive decisions about service planning:– Target Population– Size of Project– Housing Model– Proximity to other services utilized by tenants– Organizational infrastructure and capacity– Funder requirements– Budget– Organizational mission

Essential Questions

guiding beliefs? Guiding Values? What’s our approach to service delivery?
What are the conditions for occupancy? What services are critical for clients to achieve
stability and maximum independence? What can we provide onsite? What will we
provide through linkages/partnerships?

Budgeting for Supportive
Services
![Page 22: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Budgeting Overview
No set formula for design and funding – depends on details of the service plan
What is part of a service budget?
What will impact your services budget?
![Page 23: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Budgeting Basics
The service plan will inform the service budget Plan reflects goals of housing and includes your
budget assumptions:– What % of tenants will access services over time?– What type of services will clients want? – What services will clients use? Will needs change
over time? Can the plan meet those changes? Can the budget?
– What’s our tenant to staff ratio? Is it reasonable in terms of service provision? In terms of cost?
– What services will be onsite vs. in the community?– What client service costs do we include –
transportation?
![Page 24: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
The Services Budget
Service Budget separate from housing operations budget for the project– Some funding sources will require clear
separation of these budgets Projected expenses should match
projected revenues
![Page 25: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Budget Components
2 major budget components– Staffing and Service activities
Personnel – Majority of Budget– Direct staff including program directors,
case managers, nurses, and supervisory staff
– Employee benefits and salaries should be included in budget
![Page 26: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Budget Components (cont)
Other expenses– Consultant/contractual services– Social/client services– Transportation– Staff training– Supplies & materials for services– General office supplies and support

27
Things that Don’t Belong
What is a service cost vs. an operations cost?– Only include costs related to the provision
of supportive services in service budget– Operating/prop mgt should be in the
operating budget (front desk staff, utilities, maintenance, etc)
![Page 28: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
The Reality Check…
How does our proposed service plan impact other budgets?– Need more office space or recreational space?
Outdoor gathering spot? Computer center with networks? Etc.
Is it still feasible?– What are the priorities/essential elements in the
service plan? – What might be possible through partnerships or
unrestricted dollars?
![Page 29: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

33
I’ve Got a Plan…
Plan to services – check Budget for services – check But where’s the money?
– Federal– State– Local– Private
![Page 34: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
How Services Resources Flow
Funding generally for:– Delivery of particular services– Utilization of particular service strategy– Addressing needs of particular population
![Page 35: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Federal Service Funding
Significant portion of funding for services Some funding directly apply to feds
– Continuum of Care (through local process)– Special request for proposals
Majority of funding flow to local level– Alphabet Soup - TANF, Medicaid, SAMHSA, ED,
VA, DOL, SSA– Departments of Health & Human Services, Social

36
Federal Sources to Consider
HUD - McKinney Vento Programs– Through Continuum of Care– Typically limited % and part of larger request – Flexible funding
HUD - HOPWA Program– National: Part of housing request– Local: Depends on local criteria – may be good
source for HIV impacted client services
![Page 37: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Federal Sources to Consider
HUD - CDBG Funding– Block grant to local jurisdictions– Check Con Plan to see what area spends its $ on– Flexible dollars for services
HHS – Health Related Funding– Ryan White service dollars go through local
planning council – services for HIV+– Advocacy for line item to fund services in
supportive housing– Dollars distributed to local/state agencies
![Page 38: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Federal Sources to Consider
Special RFPs– Programs through Dept of Agriculture, Education,
Labor, Justice, Veterans Affairs, Social Security Admin. and Youth Related Programs
– Not frequent; often narrow population focus
![Page 39: Service Planning and Service Budgets in MHSA Housing Projects Corporation for Supportive Housing March 11, 2008](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e395503460f94b29c8a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
State Resources
