Villages offer tiny house -like living <br />structures, community kitchens, hygiene services and case management to clients that have lived outside <br />for extended periods of time or for whom traditional shelter may not be a good fit. A person successfully <br />exits a village when they leave the village to move to permanent housing. <br />Point -in -Time Counts (PIT): are unduplicated 1 -night estimates of both sheltered and unsheltered <br />homeless populations. The 1 -night counts are conducted by CoCs nationwide and occur during the last <br />week in January of each year <br />Homelessness Prevention (HP) Services: services used to assist people who are currently housed but face <br />an imminent risk of becoming literally homeless. Homelessness Prevention programs help people remain <br />in their homes, with the use of one-time financial assistance and/or time-limited case management. A <br />person or household successfully exits a prevention program when they remain in their current housing or <br />another permanent housing situation, without becoming homeless during the interim. <br />Rapid Rehousing: an intervention, informed by a progressive assistance, Housing First approach that is a <br />critical part of a community's effective homeless crisis response system. Rapid re -housing rapidly <br />connects families and individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing through a tailored <br />package of assistance that may include the use of time-limited financial assistance and targeted <br />supportive services. Rapid rehousing programs help families and individuals living on the streets or in <br />emergency shelters solve the practical and immediate challenges to obtaining permanent housing while <br />reducing the amount of time they experience homelessness, avoiding a near-term return to <br />homelessness, and linking to community resources that enable them to achieve housing stability in the <br />long-term. <br />Sheltered Homelessness: refers to people who are staying in emergency shelters, transitional housing <br />programs, or safe havens <br />Supportive Services for Veteran Families: Veterans Affairs (VA) funded program that provides both <br />rapid re -housing and homelessness prevention, depending on a household's current housing situation <br />and need. SSVF's program regulations prioritize RRH interventions. It is expected that SSVF grantees <br />(501C(3) non -profits) and community partners prioritize resources to meet the needs of all eligible, <br />literally homeless Veteran households, while only offering HP services to the most vulnerable Veteran <br />households. As part of the community plan for ending Veteran homelessness, this may require that HP <br />services be offered only when an SSVF grantee or community is able to meet the needs of all eligible <br />literally homeless Veterans. <br />
