HUD cont’d from pg 3 they can understand.” Trueb added, “The great thing about this funding in Multnomah County that we’ve just been awarded is that there is not another funding apparatus that takes into account the specific and unique needs of our commu- nity members. Because a lot of the permanent supportive housing, or the longer-term housing available, is wonderful- ly and understandably set aside for chronically homeless (populations) and people with disabil- ities, there are some cat- egories there that don’t always reflect our com- munity members that also need that long-term support. For example, (we often serve) people who have zero social safety net around here, they don’t have family, they don’t know how to navigate the systems, they don’t even know what systems exist. This is someone who needs intensive, long-term case management, in addi- tion to housing. So the wonderful thing is that this enables us to give longer-term housing support while we work through the other things they’re facing.” In previous years, IRCO received the Con- tinuum of Care award for survivor services in Clackamas County. This will mark the first year such funding will enable the culturally specific services in Multnomah County, and the orga- nization clarified that while its client base is largely immigrant and refugee, their services are open to everyone. Trueb said the fund- ing would allow IRCO to support at least 25 Port- land-area participants each year through place- ment and advocacy. IRCO is part of the Re- source Coordination Team, a collaboration of service providers who individually use a stan- dard screening assess- ment tool for domestic violence survivors, then bring cases to RCT meet- ings to determine which organization or organi- zations are best suited to serve each individual. “The RCT and the con- tinua of care is actually a really strong process that helps all the commu- nity service providers come together to vote on these things,” Trueb said. “So for example, if an- other agency has a spot available, and we present someone from our com- munity for that spot and it makes the most sense, that person actually joins that other organi- zation, so that organiza- tion takes over the advo- cacy, the housing, etc. In some cases we do co-en- rollment, particularly if they handle the housing, and then we handle the rest of the advocacy and resource navigation and financial support.” Continuum of Care el- igibility requirements include those fleeing domestic abuse and inti- mate partner violence. HUD also granted the county $78,000 to fund the salary of a domestic violence coordinated ac- cess coordinator and $1.3 million for supportive housing for victims of domestic violence. Trueb praised HUD’s support of survivor ser- vices, noting how isolat- ed IRCO clients are, and how precarious their classification can be: Sur- vivors are often not tech- nically homeless, but need emergency housing services nonetheless. “Because this is a hous- ing program, that means that we’re helping them identify housing, we’re making sure that there’s no lead-based paint, we’re making sure it stays habitable,” Trueb said. “There’s a lot that goes into finding the ap- propriate place. Some of our clients have pretty high barriers to housing or employment, some of the folks who have been in America longer might have some debts related to their trauma, they might have used their credit cards to (flee abuse). Sometimes there is a criminal history, es- pecially for people who have been trafficked. There’s a lot of work that goes into making them renting-proficient. So even if we’re paying EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST REQUESTED Expressions of interest must be requested on or before March 28th for three separate Mini-CMGC (MCMGCs) scopes of work for the Hamilton/Sundt JV on the I5 Rose Quarter Project. for their rent, they still have to be able to pass the background checks that property managers do.
