LAHSA launched Regional System Implementation Meetings in November 2021. Our goal with this new meeting series is to build and establish regular connection points with provider management and line staff to understand how things are or are not working, gather input, and communicate system changes to ensure consistent understanding and ground-up solutions. We also want to share data to understand where bottlenecks are in our system and how to address them together.
The primary focus of these meetings is how we are orienting as a system toward our System Goals for this year:
- Expand problem solving to decrease inflow and facilitate quick exits to safe and stable housing.
- Drive throughput from Interim Housing to Permanent Housing
- Simplify pathways to permanent housing by implementing progressive engagement and CES Transfer Policy.
- Lease up Emergency Housing Vouchers through the rapid improvement and streamlining of unit location and utilization efforts.
- Center equity in resource allocation and prioritization
- Decrease direct service position vacancy rate
Every other month, we will focus on changes that will impact All Populations in the system. For the months between the ‘All-Pops’ meetings, we will focus on changes happening at the Adult, Youth and Family System level with meetings dedicated to each population.
Upcoming Meetings:
May All Pops Meeting
Starting in May of 2022, we’ll transition our All-Population Meetings to be one large meeting, where all SPAs hear from LAHSA at the same time, and then we will transition to SPA Specific Breakout Rooms. This is the same meeting format we use in our Population Specific Meetings.
