The goal of a Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (FHSP) is to secure quality housing for people who are experiencing homelessness and leverages private and public funding sources, including philanthropic investments. An FHSP operates with a range of different funding streams to provide individualized rental subsidies, housing search, move-in costs, and intensive case management services provided by local community organizations, using a “whatever it takes” approach. This advanced conversation will draw on lessons from LA’s FHSP and similar efforts around the state of CA as well as focus on key elements of success: innovative thinking, nimble government partners, and streamlined contracting processes.
