As we continue to collect data around the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, we have identified that households are not achieving sustainability like we had hoped. We believe this is attributed to the lack of accountability they were required to have in achieving short-term goals through their housing assessments and the lack of coaching that was available to help them be accountable. As families continue to reach out for housing supports (food, utilities, rent, etc.) we will work toward improving our coaching program as we provide coaching to the family to help in reaching sustainability.
