This document outlines a Regional Housing Pilot Plan, presented at an East West Gateway Board Meeting, in partnership with the Bridge to Home Coalition, with the mission to solve homelessness in the St. Louis region. The plan's purpose is to ensure homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. The initial phase, the Rapid Housing Pilot for Year 1 (2026-2027), focuses on identifying and housing homeless households, providing rental assistance, case management, housing navigation, and flexible funding. The proposed three-year regional pilot plan aims to scale and spread best practices across an 8-county region to decrease the need for ongoing shelter services and achieve sustainable housing solutions.

This document outlines a Proposed Three-Year Regional Pilot Plan aimed at solving homelessness across an 8-county region. The plan focuses on testing and refining scalable models to ensure homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. The initial phase, the Year 1 Rapid Housing Pilot (2026-27), targets rapidly identifying and housing over 30 homeless households in three counties, utilizing components such as coordinated entry, case management, housing navigation, rental assistance, flexible funding, and data tracking. Subsequent years (2027-28 and 2028-29) involve scaling and spreading these best-practice models to additional locations.
