http://www.bazelon.org/issues/housing/resources/SeparateandUnequal.pdf2. Priced Out in 2000: The crisis Continues - Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) -
www.tacinc.org - good data, some of it state specific, on housing problems for PWD - http://www.tacinc.org/housingframe.html Slightly more recent data, but not as disability specific, is at http://www.nlihc.org/oor2002/index.htm. (Out of Reach 2002 study from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, with state and local specific info)3. Olmstead & Housing - The Olmstead Decision and Housing: Opportunity Knocks is an extensive report on housing opportunities for people with disabilities in the wake of the Olmstead Supreme Court decision, produced by TAC and the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force. (I can't find this on line - but it is probably in the Opening Doors binder in my bookshelf)
4. Olmstead and Supportive Housing: A Vision for the Future (December 2001) - excellent -
http://www.tacinc.org/housingframe.html - go to publications then housing (I can't get the exact url to copy)5. State consolidated plan (on line, esp. pp. 44-54, 86, 151)(Ii think there are some other pages but I'll have to look) and Impediments Analysis (I'll find in my office) -
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/hrc/rep/fed/cplan0-05.pdf6. Three main state agencies fund houinsg programs. Here is the info on Current inadequate on-line inventories for state funded housing programs:
**Dept. of Housing & Community Development (HCD) - None (2d biggest source of state housing funding - rental programs, supportive housing, farmworker housing, etc.)
**California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) -
http://www.calhfa.ca.gov/rental/apartment-info/index.htm - fairly comprehensive, searchable by county but no accessibility or supports info (homeownership and rental) or eligiblity/waiting list/contact info**Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC - part of State Treasury Dept.) - State and federal tax credits - - fairly comprehensive lists of previous housing funded by year, but not easily searchable, no accessibility or supports info (rental), no eligibility, waiting list infor.
http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/prior/1999AwardList.pdfThey also have a single list you can look at but it has less information -
http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/projects.pdf7. Other state plans and reports detailing housing data &issues:
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/hrc/rep/fed/8. Corporation for supportive housing has a number of excellent "how-to" pubs and studies on their web site:
www.csh.org9. Another, less critical publication on the
www.tacinc.org/resourcesframe.html site is "Strategies to Help People with Disabilities Be Successful in the Housing Choice Voucher Program: Guidance for PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCIES Administering Housing Choice VouchersTargeted to People with Disabilities through the Mainstream, Certain Developments, or Designated Housing Programs", which sets out techniques that the state could be pushing locals to do as part of the Olmstead Plan.
10. See also "Going It Alone: The Struggle to Expand Housing Opportunities for People with Disabilities (2000)" (tcac site again) - another good piece. In fact, there are at least 3 or 4 more pieces they put out about how to develop programs that are excellent and are listed on their site.
11. For another list of federal housing programs, on the tcac site, see their Federal Housing Resource Guide, which gives good short descriptions of key programs. Another guide to federal programs is at
http://www.nlihc.org/advocates/index.htm - 2002 Advocates Guide to Housing and Community Development Policy - It describes all the main federal programs and has a section on "Disability Housing" with data and federal policy proposals.12.
http://www.housingadvocates.org/default.asp?ID=145 - the California Housing Advocates site has a good description of the state Supported Housing Initiative Program. Also on that site - a quick statistical summary: http://www.housingadvocates.org/default.asp?ID=192 and a list of housing data resources: http://www.housingadvocates.org/default.asp?ID=71013.Particularly good on current state specific data are "Locked Out" and the supplement "Still Locked Out" with lots of California specific data from the california budget project:
http://www.cbp.org/housing.htm14. I know there is a document surveying state public housing waiting lists, but I can't find it on line - I'll look this weekend.
