DECLARATION OF ERIC S. TARS

I, Eric S. Tars, declare as follows:

1. I am the legal director at the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty

(NLCHP), where I have worked since 2006. The statements in this declaration are based on my

personal knowledge.

2. NLCHP is a national nonprofit dedicated to ending and preventing homelessness.

Established in 1989, it works to expand access to affordable housing, meet the needs of those who

are homeless or at risk of being so, and strengthen the social safety-net through policy advocacy,

public education, advocacy training, and other mechanisms.

3. NLCHP has long sought to combat the “criminalization of homelessness”:

measures that punish people for behaviors such as eating, sleeping, and sheltering oneself in public,

despite the lack of alternatives.

4. For many years, as part of NLCHP’s work in this area, I led an effort to convince

the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to add a question about entities’

efforts to end and prevent the criminalization of homelessness to the Continuum of Care (CoC)

Case 1:18-cv-00998-APM Document 19-1 Filed 01/11/19 of 17

2

application that HUD uses in its annual CoC program competition. My colleagues and I viewed

this measure as an important part of NLCHP’s campaign against the criminalization of

homelessness because, as I learned through my work, the questions that HUD places on its CoC

application and its related scoring criteria can encourage CoCs and their partners to adopt certain

strategies, in order to increase their scores and their chances of receiving CoC program funding.

5. In its Notice of Funding Availability for the 2015 CoC program competition, HUD

addressed the criminalization of homelessness in the agency’s CoC scoring criteria for the first

time. The next year, HUD’s Notice of Funding Availability for the CoC program competition again

addressed the topic.

6. My colleagues and I sought to build on these developments to further NLCHP’s

campaign against the criminalization of homelessness. Through a Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA) request that NLCHP mailed to HUD on or about May 8, 2017, NLCHP sought records that

would show how CoCs responded to HUD’s mention of the criminalization of homelessness in the

2015 and 2016 CoC Notices of Funding Availability, and how HUD scored CoCs’ related

responses on their applications. A true and correct copy of NLCHP’s May 8, 2017 FOIA request

is attached to this declaration as Exhibit A.

7. With the requested records, NLCHP hoped to assess the impact of HUD’s new

attention to the topic of criminalization. For instance, the records would enable NLCHP to learn

how HUD had applied the addition to the Notice of Funding Availability and evaluate whether it

had persuaded local communities to take additional steps against the criminalization of

homelessness and to otherwise address the needs of homeless families and individuals.

Additionally, NLCHP planned to share the information it learned with CoCs. NLCHP hoped that

by helping CoCs learn about others’ strategies and the points that HUD had awarded them for their


3

work, NLCHP could show more about how HUD had valued such efforts and inspire CoCs to take

even more action to combat the criminalization of homelessness.

8. On June 22, 2017, when NLCHP had not received a response to its May 2017 FOIA

request, I sent an email to a representative of HUD’s FOIA Branch, attaching a copy of the request

and seeking information on its status. I did not receive a response to this email.

9. On or about September 13, 2017, when NLCHP still had not received a response to

its FOIA request, I mailed a letter to HUD’s FOIA office. The letter included the request as an

attachment and sought a response to it. This September 13, 2017, letter was not a new FOIA

request.

10. On September 22, 2017, I received an email from a representative of HUD’s FOIA

Branch that acknowledged NLCHP’s FOIA request.

11. By letter dated September 26, 2017, HUD again acknowledged NLCHP’s FOIA

request, but erroneously stated that it was dated September 13, 2017.

12. By letter dated October 2, 2017, HUD denied NLCHP’s fee waiver request.

13. On October 31, 2017, NLCHP appealed HUD’s denial of its fee waiver request.

14. By letter dated December 5, 2017, HUD affirmed its denial of NLCHP’s fee waiver

request.

15. When NLCHP filed suit against HUD on April 27, 2018, NLCHP still had not

received a substantive response to its May 2017 FOIA request.

16. On June 27, 2018, I received an email from HUD with three attachments: a cover

letter and two PDF documents containing charts. The charts included material responsive to the

first two parts of NLCHP’s FOIA request, regarding responses to portions of the 2015 and 2016

CoC Notices of Funding Availability. The document title of the first chart is “2015 CoC


4

Responses.” From that title and the column labels, I understand that this chart contains CoCs’

responses to question 3A-7 on the 2015 CoC application. The chart also includes a column titled

“Score” whose content is redacted. From the document format, I understand each redacted “score”

to correspond to the CoC and the CoC response that are listed in the same row. Attached as Exhibit

B to this declaration is a true and correct copy of the first page of that document. The remaining

pages in the document use the same format (including redactions) as this first page, except that the

other pages do not repeat the column headings.

17. The document title of the second chart that I received on June 27, 2018 is “2016

CoC Responses.” From its content, I understand that this chart contains CoCs’ multi-part responses

to one question on the 2016 CoC application. The chart also includes a column titled “Score”

whose content is redacted. From the document format, I understand each redacted “score” to

correspond to the CoC and the CoC response that are listed in the same row. Attached as Exhibit

C to this declaration is a true and correct copy of the first page of that document, rotated to be a

vertical document. The remaining pages in the document use the same format (including

redactions) as this first page, except that the other pages do not repeat the column headings.

18. Based on my knowledge of the CoC application, I concluded that the documents

that HUD sent me in June 2018 included only some of the CoC responses that the first part of

NLCHP’s FOIA request sought. Through counsel, NLCHP expressed its concern to HUD, and

HUD agreed to search for and produce additional responsive documents.

19. On September 26, 2018, HUD sent me an email with two attachments: a cover letter

and an Excel spreadsheet of additional material responsive to the first part of NLCHP’s FOIA

request. Later that day, HUD sent me another email with the same two attachments, plus a PDF

document. The second email explained that HUD provided the Excel spreadsheet as a courtesy

Re: Freedom of Information Act Request

May 8, 2017

Dear Ms. Edwards:

We hereby request, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC § 552, as amended (FOIA), a copy of or all documents in the possession of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as set forth below:

1. All responses by funding applicants to Community Planning andDevelopment’s Notice of Funding Availability for the 2015 Continuum ofCare program Competition (FR-5900-N-25) in response to Section VII.A.1.j.Outreach, found on page 45 of the NOFA, which reads as follows:

Outreach. Up to 2 points to CoCs that demonstrate recipients have implemented specific strategies that prevent criminalization of homelessness, affirmatively further fair housing as detailed in 24 CFR 578.93(c), and ensure that outreach is conducted to homeless individuals and families who are least likely to request housing or services in the absence of special outreach. Maximum points will be awarded to CoCs that provide information that demonstrates that 100 percent of the geographic area is covered by the strategies and that describes the specific outreach procedures in place that are used by the homeless service organizations to identify and engage homeless individuals and families, including their efforts to provide meaningful outreach to persons with disabilities and persons with limited English proficiency. Applicants must describe how they are reducing criminalization of homelessness and the procedures they will use to market their housing and supportive services to eligible persons regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, familial status, or disability who are least likely to apply in the absence of special outreach.

2. All responses by funding applicants to Community Planning andDevelopment’s Notice of Funding Availability for the 2016 Continuum of Careprogram Competition (FR-6000-N-25) in response to Section VII.A.1.i.Criminalization, found on page 35 of the NOFA, which reads as follows:

Criminalization. Up to 2 points to CoCs that implemented specific strategies to prevent criminalization of homelessness within the CoC’s geographic area. Maximum points will be awarded to CoCs that indicate specific strategies to ensure homelessness in not criminalized such as engaging or educating local policy makers, engaging or educating law enforcement, implementing community plans, or engaging or educating businesses.

3. The points awarded by HUD to each applicant’s corresponding responses toeach of the above questions (Section VII.A.1.j. Outreach of the 2015 NOFAand Section VII.A.1.i. Criminalization of the 2016 NOFA).

NLCHP seeks a fee waiver under 5 U.S.C. § 522(a)(4)(A)(iii) and 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h). NLCHP is a nonprofit with a mission to use the power of the law to advocate for the legal rights of homeless and economically vulnerable Americans. The organization advocates for families and individuals that need access to housing, ensure homeless children have access to school, and protect the human and civil rights and dignity of all. See 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(2) (fee waiver appropriate when information is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester). NLCHP is an “other use requester”. Under HUD’s FOIA regulations, all “other” requesters are eligible for fee waivers if the disclosure is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the Federal Government. 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h). As such, HUD should not charge NLCHP for professional search time or programming services. In addition, NLCHP is willing to receive all documents electronically so as to avoid any estimated copy charges.

Disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and not for commercial use. See 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(1)(i)-(ii). The information will be used to contribute to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government. See 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(1)(i)(A), (C). By incentivizing communities to take steps to end criminalization, HUD has responded to the growing pressure against the criminalization of homelessness. The requested information will reveal those strategies that HUD finds worthwhile and deserving of federal funding in responding to this critical crisis. See 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(1)(i)(D) (the information provided will provide the public with a significant understanding); 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(1)(i)(B) (the informative value of the information is consequential). We will analyze the data presented in the released documents to discover trends, valuable strategies, and possible areas of concern. See 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(1)(i)(C). This knowledge will inform the work of advocates, educators, and litigators in championing the rights of homeless and ending criminalization, in line with broader federal policy. See 24 C.F.R. § 15.110(h)(1)(i)(C) (the public’s understanding will be enhanced by the disclosure).

If any portion of this request is denied, we request a detailed statement of the reasons for the withholding or an index or similar statement of the nature of the documents withheld. As to those documents that may be exempt under FOIA Section 552(b), we request that HUD exercise its discretion in favor of disclosing this material. Relatedly, if HUD denies the fee waiver request, please provide the basis for the denial with an explanation of why the fee waiver request does not meet the fee waiver criteria.

If you have any questions about this request, you may contact me by telephone at (202) 638-2535 x. 120 or by email at [email protected].


mailto:[email protected]

I look forward to your reply within 20 workdays (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays), as the statute requires.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

Eric S. Tars

Senior Attorney
