Introduction

The purpose of the State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) is to assist low-income

individuals who are eligible to receive supportive services and require affordable housing to live safely and independently in

the community.

Program GoalsProvide rental subsidies to program participants

who require, and have access to continuing home- and community-based services

Establish partnerships with state agencies and community service providers

Move individuals out of state-run long-term care facilities and into home- and community-based care programs

Transition program participants to financial self-sufficiency or to other affordable housing resources

Populations Served

Clients exiting state-supported and privately run long-term care facilities

Youth aging out of foster care

Families for whom the lack of affordable housing is a barrier to reunification

Individuals at-risk of requiring services from or being admitted to a state-supported institution

DSAMH clients identified as target populations in the USDOJ Settlement with the State of Delaware

DPC Settlement Agreement

SRAP is a key tool in the State’s effort to implement the DOJ Settlement on the Delaware Psychiatric Center (DPC)

DSAMH has transferred additional funding to the SRAP program to ensure Settlement housing goals are met

July 2012 goal was to provide 100 additional new housing vouchers (SRAP provided 75)

July 2013 goal is to provide 200 additional new housing vouchers (SRAP target is 150)

Settlement housing target for FY14 is 550.

DPC Settlement Agreement

SRAP is starting to show a cost avoidance benefit – especially with people covered by the Settlement Agreement

135* SRAP vouchers issued to DSAMH clients exiting DPC or at-risk of admission to DPC.

Average length of stay at DPC for these clients is 60-days at a cost of $36,180 per client or $4,848,120 for all 135 clients.

The cost to provide SRAP rental housing assistance to the same cohort of 135 is $974,565**.

Cost avoidance for this one sub-population of SRAP in the first of their participation in the SRAP program is $3,873,555.

*Including SRAP vouchers funded by DSAMH**Actual cost of rents ($7219) for DSAMH clients used

$3,000,000To continue the program and continue to provide housing to

350 current and new SRAP program participants.
