Currently, we do administer the Reaching Home funding. Throughout the pandemic, there have been some allocations to be really heightening our response specifically during the pandemic.
One asterisk or caveat I would put on that report is that at the time we were celebrating a 45% reduction in our homeless numbers in our community. We've had a very confident and robust housing first program. Since the pandemic has started, we have been housing at a pace of about 120 to 140 people a month, but we've also had more inflow into homelessness than we've had housing. Our numbers are now going up. We are back up from 1,500 at the time to now almost 2,000 people on our buy names list.
To speculate on the total number on funding, based on that $230 million, would take some additional work, but from a federal perspective, the Reaching Home dollars play a very critical role. Also, I think, in various parts of this committee's work, as well as things we've learned in the pandemic, there is the importance of other areas. This is a public health crisis. We are working really hard with different areas of government to bring to bear additionally on the Reaching Home dollars other program dollars. Really, it's been through that Reaching Home priority-setting and the national housing strategy that all of those bars need to be set.
I don't have an easy answer to say what other areas of government could complement or make this all work, but I do think that it all needs to come together through a coordinated effort.
