ITEM EXPLANATION
On March 6, 1990, Council authorized the formation of a Council subcom
(comprised of Mayor Lewis, Council Member Mamaux, a committee of ministers an
staff) to identify the services for the homeless already available in the City of Ca:

In response to Council direction, staff prepared a report (Exhibit 2 is a summary (
major findings in the report and Exhibit 3 is the entire report) on the demograpk
the homeless population, and the shelters and services available to the home11
Carlsbad and throughout North San Diego County. The report concluded wit1
recommendations regarding additional programs.
Recommendation 1 : A screening agency, or a method by which the homeless in C~I
can be screened, is necessary before a discussion of additional programs is possib:
homeless requires an analysis of the homeless in Carlsbad and their needs. A scre
agency can collect data on the homeless to determine general needs, identify the
of the homeless on a case-by-case basis and the most appropriate program(s) to 7
they should be referred, and maximize existing resources through a netwo
volunteers and social service providers.
Recommendation 2: The Council subcommittee and Carlsbad ministers meet to d
a coordinated effort to develop a liaison with an existing screening agency.
On July 11, 1990, the subcommittee on the homeless held a meeting for the
ministers to discuss the report and to determine if it is consistent with their nec

Request For Proposals (RFP) should be prepared with the intent of taking it to Cc
for authorization to distribute to area screening agencies.
On September 19,1990, the subcommittee on the homeless held a meeting for the
ministers to obtain their input on a draft RFP. Minor amendments to the draft were
in response to suggestions by the ministers and at the conclusion of that meetin,
ministers in attendance unanimously supported the RFP (Exhibit 4).

SUMMARY OF MAJOR FINDINGS
IHOMELESS: PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
STAFF REPORT DATED JUNE 25,1990
The major findings and the recommendation in the staff report are summarized in fol
sections below.
I. Demoaraphics (Der SANDAG):
I There are approximately 5,000 homeless people in the San Diego Regior
with 3,000 located in downtown San Diego;
I The mentally ill account for 25-30% of the homeless, due to the reduce
funding for mental health services:
I Approximately 1/3 have severe alcohol and drug abuse problems;
Approximately 20% work full time or part time at minimum wage jobs
About 1/2 are single males, and of these, at least 40% are veterans;
I A si&jCcant number of homeless women and children are thought to E
escaping from abuse;
I Families are considered to be the largest growing segment of the homeles
population; and
I Homeless individuals may fall into more than one category (e.g.,
homeless individual may be a veteran and a substance abuser) thus, makin
it difficult to accurately quantify and categorize the homeless.
11. Survey of Shelters and Services in North San Dieno County (Attachment):
rn Most of the shelters and services available to the homeless in North Sa
Diego County are located in Oceanside.
m Most of the shelters report that the number of individuals seekin,
(1) the shelter is operating at capacity level; and/or (2) the individual(s
seeking aissistance is not prepared for an environment that includes cas1
managemlent, i.e., requirements for sobriety, curfews, goals, etc.
rn Many social service agencies that provide help for problems associate1
with homelessness work with shelters to address the needs of the homeles5
even through these agencies do not necessarily specifically target th

homeless population. These agencies and shelters that operate within
network to help the homeless are located throughout the North County an
receive contributions from North County cities.
111. Services and. Funding - for the Homeless - Carlsbad;
w Project Oz - Serves youths in crisis and their families, and operates
shelter to house runaways. Counseling is provided for residents and the
families, and on an outpatient basis for non-residents. Foster horr
placement is arranged for those youths not returning to their families.
w North. Coastal ROP Center - Registration for ROP classes and jo
counseling.
w Community Churches - As a group, services provided by our local church€
include: canned and dry food, lodging at local motels, gas voucher:
clothing, shelter during inclement weather and referrals to social servic
agencies.
rn Carlsbad Department of Housing and Redevelopment - Providt
applications for Section 8 assistance.
Funding from the City - Community contributions in the 1990-199
budget total $84,058, an increase of 34% over that allocated in tl:
198901990 budget, and with more than $63,000 of those monies earmarke
for agenci.es that target the homeless population, and agencies that serve th
homeless along with other groups. In addition, on May 8, 1990, out of
total of $.266,368 awarded in CDBG money for projects, Council approve
$150,144, or 56% for a property acquisition to build a low//moderat
income housing project within Carlsbad, and $74,044, or 28%, for progran-
that currently, or will, serve the homeless.
N. Recommendation:
A screening agency, or a method by which the homeless in Carlsbad can b
screened, is necessary before a discussion of additional programs is possiblc
An adequ.ate evaluation of the need for, and identification of, addition:
programs for the homeless requires an analysis of the homeless in Carlsba
and their needs. A screening agency can collect data on the homeless tl
determine general needs, identify the needs of the homeless on a case-by-cas
basis and the most appropriate program(s) to which they should be referrec
and maximize existing resources through a network of volunteers and sock
service providers.

SURVEY RESULTS: SH:ELTERS, SERVICES & SCREENING AGENCIES
The charts on the follovving pages contain information gathered in May, 1990, on sheltel
and services available to the homeless. The information was obtained from the Unite
and interviews with program administrators. The list is by no means exhaustive, howeve
because (1) people become homeless for a variety of reasons and therefore have a varie
of needs, some of whiclh can be met by agencies, such as the EDD, that cater to, but a:
not specifically targeting the homeless population; (2) in practice, agencies are govern(
less by geographic area than by capacity; (3) some programs in San Diego are availab
for referral but the distance from North County creates logistical problems; (4) some ha1
way houses with a small number of beds shun publicity and take referrals from selec
screening agencies only; and (5) some professionals, volunteers, and organizations dona1
time, skills, and goods to assist the homeless through a network established by screenir
agencies.

*This is the average nu.mber of individuals each month who must be referred to anothe
agency because the shelter is operating at capacity level, and/or the individual(s) is nc
prepared for a structured environment. The vacancy rates are due to referrals to othe
agencies because the individuals are unable to operate within a structured environment

TO: CITY MANAGER
FROM: Management Analyst, Planning Department
HOMELESS: PROGRAMS AND SERWCES
On March 6,1990, Council authorized the formation of a Council subcommittee (comprise
of Mayor Lewis, Council Member Mama-, a committee of ministers and City staff) to (1
identify the services available to the homeless in Carlsbad and (2) investigate the need fc
and feasibility of additional programs.
In response to Council direction, the following report contains the results of a survey <
services in Carlsbad and North San Diego County that are available to the homeless i
Carlsbad (Attachment) and a recommendation regarding additional programs (the neec
of migrant workers/fannworkers are being addressed by the Council as a separate issue
The report is divided into five sections. Section I is demographic information on tl
homeless; Section 11 is a summary of the results of the survey; Section 111 is a summary c
services in Carlsbad and City funds contributed to programs that serve the homeless i:
Carlsbad and North County; Section IV is a discussion of additional programs for th
homeless; and Section 'ir is staffs recommendation regarding additional programs.
I. DEMOGRAPHICS
The nature of the homeless population precludes the existence of an exact census. Recer
demographic estimates have been made, however, by the San Diego Association c
Governments (SANDAG). In the February, 1990, Regional Housing Needs Statemer
(RHNS), SANDAG provided the following demographic information on the homeless in th San Diego Region:
m There are approximately 5,000 homeless people in the San Diego Region, wit:
3,000 located in downtown San Diego;
w The mentally ill account for 25-30% of the homeless, due to the reduced fundin
for mental healtlh services;
Approximateky 1/3 have severe alcohol and drug abuse problems;
w Approximateky 20% work full time or part time at minimum wage jobs;
w About 1/2 are single males, and of these, at least 40% are veterans;
H A significant number of homeless women and children are thought to be escapin;
from abuse;
w 0
+.
I Fdes are considered to be the largest growing segment of the homele population. According to nationwide statistics, 40% of the homeless are familie
Homeless individuals may fall into more than one category (e.g., a homele individual may 'be a veteran and a substance abuser) thus, making it difficult
accurately quantZy and categorize the homeless.
11. SURVEY RESULTS;
Survey results produced several findings that can be categorized as (1) Location; (:
Placement; (3) Target Group; and (4) Programs.
(1) Location - Most of The shelters and services available to the homeless in North Coun
are located in Oceanside. According to the "Report of the Oceanside Task Force For TI
Homeless 1989-1990", the reasons for this concentration of programs there include:
Center for Social Service Anencies - "Oceanside is a center in North San Diel
County for the mrious County, State and Federal govemment offices that provic
aid to the home'less";
w Transportation Center - "Many of the emigrants that cross our nation in hope (
a better life in C:alifornia meet with misfortune. Oceanside is on the 'route'."
Per caDita in'come - "Oceanside has the. third lowest per capita income in Sa
Diego County. Many in our city are truly 'one paycheck from being homeless"'.
(2) Placement - Most of the shelters report that the number of individuals seekir
assistance is greater than the number the shelter can accommodate because (1) the sheltc
is operating at capacity level; and/or (2) the individual(s) seeking assistance is nc
prepared for an environment that includes case management, i.e., requirements fc
sobriety, curfews, goals, progress toward meeting goals, etc.
(3) Target Group:
H There are moire shelters open to women and children than men.
Domestic viol.ence may be one of the leading causes of homelessness. The tw
shelters with the highest average number of individuals each month who must b
referred to another agency because the shelter is operating at capacity level an
Casa de Amparo (shelter for abused children) and the Escondido Youth Encountt
(shelter for battered women and children).

I The number of shelters and services targeting the mentally 1 i:
disproportionatety low compared to the significant percentage of homeless peoplc
that are estimated to be suffering from mental illness.
(4) Promams - The shelters and service providers are predominantly non-profi
organizations that rely on grants and contributions.
III. SERWCES AND FUINDJNG FOR THE HOMELESS - CARLSBAD
There are many different reasons people become homeless. In the 1990 RHNS, SANDA(
reports that homelessness can be attributed to such things as unemployment, low income
mental illness, disabilities, substance abuse, domestic violence, and combinations of thes
problems. As a result, many social service agencies that provide help for problem
associated with homelessness work along with shelters to address the needs of th
homeless, even though these agencies do not necessarily specifically target the homeles
population. These agencies and shelters that operate within a network to help th
homeless are located throughout the North County and receive contributions from Nort
County cities.
There are social service agencies/programs available to the homeless in Carlsbad and Nort
County in the City of Ca:rlsbad, and the City is a significant funding source for many servic
providers.
Services and Programs
The following services and programs are available to the homeless:
Project Oz - Serves youths in crisis and their families, and operates a temporal
shelter to house runaways. Counseling is provided for residents and their familie;
and on an outpatient basis for non-residents. Foster home placement is arrange
for those youths not returning to their families.
H North Coastal ROP Center - Registration for ROP classes and job counseling.
Community Churches - As a group, services provided by our local church(
include: canned and dry food, lodging at local motels, gas vouchers, clothing, sheltc during inclement weather, and referrals to social service agencies.
w Carlsbad Department of Housing and Redevelopment - Provides applications fc
Section 8 assistance.

Funding from the City
many years, with budget allocations increasing each year. Community contributions in thr
The City of Carlsbad has contributed funds to providers of services to the homeless fo
1990-91 budget total $$4,058, an increase of 34% over that allocated in the 1989-9(
budget, and with more than $63,000 of those monies earmarked for agencies that targe
the homeless population, and agencies that serve the homeless along with other groups
In addition, on May 8, 1990, out of a total of $266,368 awarded in CDBG money fo
projects, Council apprawed $150,144, or 56% for a property acquisition to build
low/moderate income housing project within Carlsbad, and $74,044, or 28%, for program
that currently, or will, serve the homeless. Community contributions from the 1990-9
Budget and 1990-91 CDlBG program allocations for programs that serve the homeless ar
shown in the chart below.

IV DISCUSSION: ADDIlTIONAL PROGRAMS
A screening agency, or a method by which the homeless in Carlsbad can be screened,
necessary before a discussion of additional programs is possible. An adequate evaluatic
of the need for, and identification of, additional programs for the homeless requires a
analysis of the homeless in Carlsbad and their needs. The information available on tl
homeless as a group highlights the necessity for such an analysis. According to SANDA(
the homeless include children, youths, adults, males and females, married and sing
individuals, and single parent and two parent families, all of whom are homeless for
variety of reasons. Furthermore, as noted earlier, SANDAG reports that homelessness c;
be attributed to a variety of things, such as unemployment, low income, mental illnes
disabilities, substance abuse, domestic violence and combinations of these problems. 1
a result, the diversity of people in this group, and the varied and overlapping problen
4

associated with homelessness, make it difficult to accurately quantify ad categorize tl
homeless. This, in turn, clearly makes it difficult to assess their needs; therefore, tl
homeless people in Carlsbad and their needs must be identified before the most appropria
programs to meet those needs can be identified.
Some of the questions that should be answered to adequately evaluate the homeless
Carlsbad are:
Are there homeless individuals in Carlsbad who are currently employed and simply ne€
access to affordable housing?
m Do they need mental health counseling, job training, legal advice and/or medical can
.'.-Do estimates of the number of homeless people who seek assistance from the church(
in Carlsbad represent individual and unique cases of homelessness? Or, does each estima
overlap the others with the same homeless persons asking for help at each of the churche:
How many of the homeless are transients? And, is their primary goal to obta
transportation assistance?
How many are residents of Carlsbad? Would these people benefit from a homele:
prevention program?
How many of the homeless are youths? Are they run-aways or "throw-awaystt?
m Do they need employment assistance? Or, 'are they unemployable? (According to tk
report by the 1989 Sa13 Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless, only about 50% (
the homeless can hold a job)
These questions and more can be addressed by screening agencies with the expertise t evaluate and respond to the answers. 'A screening agency can collect data on the homeles
to determine general needs, identify the needs of the homeless on a case-by-case basis an
the most appropriate p~ogram(s) to which they should be referred, and maximize existin
resources through a network of volunteers and social service providers.
V. REXO"F.NDATIOlV
Staff recommends that the members of the Council subcommittee and the Carlsba
ministers meet to discuss a coordinated effort to develop a liaison with an existin
screening agency that can identify the needs of the homeless in Carlsbad, and poc
resources already here in Carlsbad and North County. This effort should focus on
(1) referring homeless individuals seeking assistance from churches to one screenin:
agency; and (2) addressing the need for transportation assistance to the agency.

SURVEY RESULTS: SHELTERS, SERVICES & SCREENING AGENCIES
The charts on the following pages contain information gathered in May, 1990, on shelte:
and services available to the homeless. The information was obtained from the Unitc
Way's listing of non-pro'fit social services that include Carlsbad in their target service are
and interviews with program administrators. The list is by no means exhaustive, howeve
because (1) people become homeless for a variety of reasons and therefore have a varie
of needs, some of whic:h can be met by agencies, such as the EDD, that cater to, but a:
not specifically targeting the homeless population; (2) in practice, agencies are govern<
less by geographic area than by capacity; (3) some programs in San Diego are availab
for referral but the distance from North County creates logistical problems; (4) some ha1
way houses with a small number of beds shun publicity and take referrals from selec
screening agencies only; and (5) some professionals, volunteers, and organizations dona1
time, skills, and goods to assist the homeless through a network established by screenin
agencies.

prepared for a structured environment. The vacancy rates are due to referrals to othe
agencies because the individuals are unable to operate within a structured environment
