Acknowledgments

Florida Housing Finance Corporation (Florida Housing) wishes to express its gratitude to the people involved in the three local pilots that were part of this effort. At any successful supportive housing property, many people are involved in coordinating housing and services supports for residents, and coordinating these supports takes constant attention and creativity to meet residents’ needs.

But for this pilot, these three non-profit organizations and their partners not only provided housing and access to services, they also worked with researchers from the start of their projects to design the evaluations, compile cost and resident outcome data and prepare their interim and final evaluation reports.

Florida Housing also appreciates the partnership we have with our sister agencies at the state level, particularly their work in reviewing initial methodologies and helping each pilot resolve service issues as they arose.

Florida Housing received critical assistance and perspective from the Corporation for Supportive Housing to help us manage peer discussions with the pilots and researchers, problem solve with each pilot and interpret the results of the pilots’ evaluations.

Florida Housing also thanks the pilot funders and many other subject matter experts who helped us think about this pilot and its results. This was a labor of love for many participants. It is impossible to mention all of them here by name, but this pilot would not have been possible without their hard work over many years.

A list of key participants and funders involved in each pilot is provided at the end of the report.
