6.3.A. - Page 62 <br />NA -45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) <br />Introduction: <br />In addition to the homeless, there are other groups of persons who require supportive housing, <br />including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons <br />with alcohol or other drug addictions, victims of domestic violence, and persons diagnosed with AIDS <br />and related diseases. <br />Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community: <br />Special needs groups, as defined by State law, include seniors, persons with disabilities, large <br />households, female -headed families, farm workers, and the homeless. In addition, Veterans of the U.S. <br />armed forces, while not a distinct special needs class per State law, often share many of the same <br />characteristics with these groups. <br />What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these <br />needs determined? <br />Individuals with special needs often have difficulty obtaining decent, affordable housing due to their <br />special circumstances. A central goal of the ConPlan is to assist persons with special needs in meeting <br />their housing needs. <br />Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within <br />the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area: <br />See elsewhere in this document. <br />Discussion: <br />These needs have been previously discussed. <br />Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 59 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) <br />
