Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the Social
Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results
Act (‘‘SIPPRA’’), the U.S. Department of
the Treasury (‘‘Treasury’’) and City and
County of Denver (‘‘Denver’’) have
entered into an agreement for a social
impact partnership project (the ‘‘Project
Grant Agreement’’). The SIPPRA
program makes funding available to
state and local governments for pay-forresults social impact partnership
projects. SIPPRA projects may seek to
improve a variety of social problems,

including increasing employment,
wages, and financial stability for lowincome families; improving family
health and housing; and reducing
recidivism.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Project Grant Agreement contains the
following features:
(1) The outcome goals of the social
impact partnership project:
The Denver Housing to Health
(‘‘H2H’’) Pay for Success Project Denver
proposes the following intermediate
outcomes: Increased housing stability;
decreased police contacts; and increased
access to health services. Denver also
proposes the following long-term
outcomes: Improved health; increased
access to health services (resulting in
decreased visits to detoxification centers
and decreased avoidable emergency
room and hospital visits); and decreased
criminal justice involvement. Overall,
the project objective is to reduce the
Medicaid and Medicare expenditures of
the target population.
(2) A description of each intervention
in the project:
Two service providers, the Colorado
Coalition for the Homeless (‘‘CCH’’) and
the Mental Health Center of Denver
(‘‘MHCD’’) will deliver permanent
supportive housing, modified assertive
community treatment (‘‘ACT’’) and case
management to 125 participants.
• Permanent Supportive Housing is
an evidence-based intervention that
provides housing plus intensive case
management and connects clients with
community services, including primary
health care.
• Modified Assertive Community
Treatment consists of a
multidisciplinary team that strives to
meet behavioral health and other needs
of clients in order to maximize
opportunities for recovery. Among the
primary benefits of ACT is its ability to
have multiple perspectives for treatment
planning and assessment, ongoing
collaboration, and planning and
evaluation, with the client being an
active member of the team.
• Case Management includes
evidence-based motivational
interviewing and trauma-informed care
to assist participants in engaging and
connecting with integrated health
services, as deemed clinically
appropriate and fitting the clients’
67121
needs. This approach is designed to
help improve health outcomes, address
barriers to housing stability, manage
mental illness and reduce interaction
with the criminal justice system.
(3) The target population that will be
served by the project:
H2H will target individuals who are
chronically homeless, have a record of
at least eight arrests over the past three
years in Denver County, and are at high
risk for avoidable and high-cost health
services paid through Medicaid.
(4) The expected social benefits to
participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be
impacted:
H2H is expected to help individuals
improve their health outcomes, break
the cycle of jail and homelessness, and
save taxpayer dollars on the cost of
health care in jail and in the
community.
(5) The detailed roles, responsibilities,
and purposes of each Federal, State, or
local government entity, intermediary,
service provider, independent evaluator,
investor, or other stakeholder:

expenditures and the control group’s
Medicaid and Medicare expenditures
over the project period.

years old, have had at least eight arrests
over the past three years, were
experiencing homelessness at the time
of their last arrest and are at high risk
for avoidable and high-cost health
services paid through Medicaid and
Medicare. Potentially eligible clients
will be referred to H2H through Denver
Health and Denver Police Department
(‘‘DPD’’).
(10) The evaluation design:
H2H’S randomized controlled trial
(‘‘RCT’’) design will compare the
trajectories of homeless, frequent users

of medical services who receive
supportive housing and those who
receive usual care. Because available
supportive housing is not available to
all of the people who need it, the
limited 125 housing slots will be
allocated by lottery, which is a fair way
to allocate the scarce housing resources
and also enables random assignment.
The evaluation will track outcomes for
both groups and attribute any
differences to the H2H program
intervention.
(11) The metrics that will be used in
the evaluation to determine whether the
outcomes have been achieved as a result
of each intervention and how these
metrics will be measured:
The evaluation metrics will include
information on housing stability and
reductions in jail days and net
reductions in federal expenditures for
Medicaid and Medicare claims, to be
paid by SIPPRA funding if successful.
The net reduction in federal
expenditures will be measured as the
average difference in the change over
time (pre and post randomization) in the
amount billed for claims between the
treatment and control groups.
(12) The estimate of the savings to the
Federal, State, and local government, on
a program-by-program basis and in the
aggregate, if the agreement is entered
into and implemented and the outcomes
are achieved as a result of each
intervention:
Federal Savings: $5,512,000
City Savings: $9,235,055
