Enumerating Housing Quality
Surveys – Scales - Comparing Julie Paulino’s House with Shank’s Truck Stop
(Torkelson, KE – 2018)
-
Audience
The audience for this report is
anyone interested in solving unmet Housing needs about disadvantaged
populations including the homeless. We
take particular interest in helping the Orange County Health Care Agency
(OCHCA) establish and maintain a Housing Advisory Board (HAB). Tork’s Journal of Soc Path (08/2018).

Promoting - Electronic Bed
Manager (EBM)
With this paper we promote our
Housing Advisory Board (HAB) concept.
Actually at the core of the board is supporting our HAB – Information
Technology (HABIT) notion. Just as an
Electronic Health Record – Case Management system is complex in operability a
high end Electronic Bed Manager EBM) should have analogous functionality.

Abstract – Executive Summary
This report addresses Housing
Quality about two model operations: Julie’s House (JHM) and Shanks’ Truck Stop
(STS). We are in the process of
developing assessments for our pet project.
At this time we call this project: Promoting a Housing Advisory Board
(HAB) for Orange County and the populations in need at large. On February 12, 2018 we began giving our
(MSG) assessments a test drive. We have
tried to find some great Housing Quality Surveys (HQSs) online yet still
haven’t found many that paint as well a picture that our in-house tools
do. The results that we arrive at: We
find remarkable! Most if not all the
assessments were scored on August 17, 2018 (Friday). We address three areas about Housing: Promising Features, Less
Promising Features, and Problems.
Because we like to address strengths first we report strong results
first. High scores on merit assessments
are favorable. Applying our Promising
Feature tool in its’ current incarnation yields: 91.3% for Julie’s House (JPM)
and 52.3% for Shanks’ Truck Stop (STS).
For our 23 Item Promising Practices & Features tool Julie’s (JPM)
achieved 91.3% whereas Shanks’ (STS) earned 52.3%.
-
Shortfalls and Deficits
We are developing a few
assessments to measure deficits about housing the disadvantaged. High score on deficits surveys are
problematic. Again, for the most part
these instruments we scored August 17, 2018 (Friday). Our favorite (FAV) day of the week to score is Friday. The scores for our fifty-one (51) item
Problem Based Quality tool is as follows.
We only scored Julie’s House (JPM).
Julie’s House we award 60.8% problematic or 39.2% problem
tolerable. We continued with more
granularity about problems by writing two more Problem Based Instruments
(PBIs). For Parts A & B Julie’s
earned 63.0% and 58.3% respectively. We
finished with a last comparative assessment: Less Promising Features (LPF) a 22
Item instrument. Julie’s scored an 86.4% on the LPF and Shanks’ (STS) scored
47.7%.
-
Housing – Unmet Needs – Complex
Issue
Earlier this year (2018) we were
privileged to listen to Mary Hale (A Deputy Director OCHCA) share on housing
needs. Mary Hale at the time was a
Deputy Director in the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA). Mary addressed the local Mental Health
Services Act (MHSA) Steering Committee Meeting (SCM). She stated: “Housing is a very complex issue!” We here at Mentalation Solutions Group (MSG)
agree. It has been much work for us
here at MSG to define Housing Requirements and Specifications. The assessments in this report fall under
both classifications.
-
Brief Interpretation
Our results are a bit skewed
since we used Julie’s House as the model and source for selecting survey
items. While evaluating for positive
qualities Shank’s scores atypically low.
While evaluating for negative qualities Julies’ House scores atypically high. For this set of HQS Assessments we Control
for pricing. In other words we don’t
discuss costs such as rent or ability to pay.

Introduction

Julie Paulino
We hooked up and lived with Julie
Paulino DBA Julie’s House somewhere around 2009. We lived there from 2009-2012.
Our engagement with her resulted in Catastrophic Losses. Julie owns and operates two houses in Anaheim
California. The Empire House she lives
in with her husband Romer Paulino.
Julie also owned (owns) a house on Hillview Road. Hillview was self-managing. We lived at her Hillview Site. We just realized we are going to get to do a
second report about Julie’s operations to fill in and flesh out gaps. We were Julie’s go to person for community
outreach, sales and marketing. This
report describes Julie’s Hillview operations.
Julie classifies her business as a Room & Board even though the
guests pay for and cook their own food.
We classify Julie’s as a Rent a Shared Room (RSR). Julie’s Hillview has up to eight (8) available
beds at any given time. All of the four
(4) rooms tend to be rent a shared room.
-
Shanks’
We hooked up with and live with
The Shanks DBA Shanks’ Guest Home (SGH) during the summer of 2012. We have lived here from 2012 to the present
time. We call SGH Shanks Truck Stop
(STS). Our engagement here has helped
us resolved much of what we lost in 2012.
Shanks own and operate four (4) houses: The Las Vegas House, the Broadway
House, House-1 Flora, and House-2 Flora.
All of these houses are located in Santa Ana California except the LV
House. Flora-2 is where the Shanks
live. We live with the Shanks. This report compares a Julie operation with
Shank operations. Shanks’ classify
their Flora-2 operation as a Guest Home (Room & Board). Since for the most part they provide food,
we classify Shanks-2 as a true Room & Board. Actually it is a Room & Board Plus (R&BP). Shanks’ Flora-2 has ten (8) available beds at
any given time. All the three (3)
rental rooms tend to be rent a shared room.
-
Stigma
We find the classifications Room
& Board (R&B) and Board & Care (R&C) quite stigmatizing. For example when we attend the Mental Health
Services Act (MHSA) Steering Committee Meeting (SCM) we are more likely to tell
a “Normal” that we rent a shared room.
Think of the visuals that R&Bs conjure up. At this time we have not finalized our stigma reducing facilities
classification list. R&B and
B&C might fit nicely on a continuum of therapeutic residences.

Environment Cycles & Cycling
The HABIT utilities we are
defining will always be in demand. As a
minimum three (3) Housing variables change over time, these are: New people in
need, the housing environment changes, and the people in a house change. Just because a room or bed is harmonic today
doesn’t mean it we be tomorrow. A
single “bad egg” can and will stink up the operation. A Mentalation Solutions Group (MSG) mission is to maximize the
number of health promoting beds available to disadvantaged populations. Let us meet any population suffering unmet
needs with Housing.

Inception
The first time Housing Quality
Survey and/or Scales (HOS) appear/appears in our database is on June 16,
2014. Metadata =
02_Housing_Quality_2014061603_HQS. The
first time we gave one of our HQS Assessment Tools a trial run was February 12,
2018. We have come a long way about
assessing Housing Quality. This report
represents only a tip of an iceberg. On
August 17, 2018 (Friday) we scored the Julie Paulino Model (JPM-Hillview). It would appear that only a third of her
operations promote Health, Wellbeing, and Wellness. During our tenure at Julie’s Hillview we lived with more than
fifteen (15) different people. As of
2018 only two did well enough to declare their outcomes successes.

Standard Treatment – Pros
Not even in Westminster
Therapeutic Residential Center (WTRC-IMD) is there standard treatment of all
quests. Both social activities and
freedoms have three levels. The pro to
having standard treatment is that it minimizes animosity. At Shanks’ (STS) some quests get to cook
whereas others are not privileged to cook.
Non-standard treatment makes it possible to offer supports and resources
as needed (PRN).

Defining “A Trap”
We define Westminster Therapeutic
Residential Center (WTRC) as a “Trap”.
Since the fees to stay there are at or near the amount of a guest’s
entitlement check(s). Therefore, a guest
has little excess money for planning about and delivering on a step down to a
lower Level Of Care (LOC). WTRC workers
will generally veto a departing quest playing the “homeless” card. For four (4) months (2006-2007) we were a
guest at and were served by WTRC.
Doctor Belman MD, our Doctor On Call (DOC), said to us that the average
stay was two (2) years and most guests were released to family. We will discuss “Bed Traps” in a future
study.
[INSERT SCAN OF WTRC INVOICE]
Priorities – Bills – Medication –
Rent – Food
Some consumers are faced with
bills such as court costs that they must decide on priorities. Going homeless is a “Fix” for higher
priority expenses such as bills and medication.
-
-
FNCSB = First Non-collegiate
Shared Bedroom
The Young Adults classification
has been revised in Health & Human Services (HHS) into the Transitional
Aged Youth (TAY) classification. As a
TAY we were fortunate enough to get to rent a shared room from 1982-1985. Our roommates: Chuck, Lawrence, and Tom all
succeeded with their university education.
In 1986 we earned our BS degree from the University of California @
Davis with honors. This is important
because these three (3) men form part of our “Normal” Control Group (NCG). Many disadvantaged people do not know what
normal when sharing a room.
-
Special Topic - How is it
Insurance?
One of the Housing Supports that
we promote is move insurance. Earlier
this month, around August 20, 2018 a report came in that: Some homes were
destroyed in the Holy Fire (Orange County).
We said what will prevent the families that had their houses burned down
from going homeless. For the most part
it will be Family Support and Home Owners Insurance. We briefly looked online for: “How much is homeowners insurance
per month?” An answer was: “In very
broad terms, expect to pay about $35 per month for every $100,000 of home
value, though it depends on your city and state. And of course the cost will
vary by insurance company, so it pays to shop around for coverage.” An unmet need for the disadvantaged as well
as those taking psychotropic medications is Move Insurance. Thirty-five (35) dollars per month is
insignificant to have PEACE of mind that you are covered. Insurance will also help address the
“Traps”.
-
Special Topic - Assurance
Assurance might be defined as a
positive declaration intended to give confidence. Confidence might best be earned through keeping promises. The MHSA Housing Undertakings (MHUs) have
been in effect for more than ten (10) years.
Quite a while ago now we picked up a handout associated with Mary Hale’s
(OCHCA) presentation for the Annual Meeting Of the Minds (MOMs). Her presentation was Ten Years to End
Homelessness. Personal circumstances
now direct us to commit resource for housing the disadvantaged about Orange
County California. Right now we can
find no guarantee we will keep our bed or graduate to a better one. We have lost substantial confidence in any
MHSA program or project that has Housing associated with it. About ten years ago in an Innovations
Advisory Committee (IAC) meeting we discussed MHSA promises. At first look one might think they are being
kept. We would like a guarantee that in
times of hardship such as moving we do not lose our hard-fought gains.

Vulnerable Populations
We have often heard it voiced
that those who are dependent upon psychotropic medication are a “Vulnerable”
population. Now: We assign this
paragraph to AVEY. I’m the AVEY construct
online here! As you can see this paper
is about some trials and tribulations about Keith Torkelson. I call him Buster. Vulnerable people such as Buster rely on good people to help them
when they cannot protect themselves.
Even “Normals” rely on good people to protect them. That is sort of what the specialty LAW is
about. Since Buster still smokes
cigarettes he gets to associate with those who smoke cigarettes. Cigarettes take about three (3) minutes on
average to smoke. During peoples’
smoking time more often than not Buster gets to hear Nightmare On Housing
Street (NOHS) stories. Whenever a
fellow smoker says they are not getting sleep Buster listens up a bit
more. Disadvantaged people, including
the homeless, need to witness and experience tangible Housing Solutions that
make them less Vulnerable. In writing
and sharing this report we see slight gains in Buster’s protections. In writing and sharing this report we see
slight reductions in Buster’s risk factors. (AVEY, 2018)

Formality - Housing Quality
Scales (HQSs)
From 2009-2011 while volunteering
for the County of Orange’s Health Care Agency (OCHCA) we pursued the population
approach while developing our assessment tools. We had several populations of consumers, consumer-providers,
providers, etc. on which to test our Beta Tools. The quote below addresses formality about assessment. “First, the development of a
psychometrically sound, observer-based instrument to assess physical housing
quality in ways conceptually relevant to psychological health is reported.” In the short term this is not how we do it
anymore. We use more of a focus group
approach.

Physical Housing Quality V
Supportive Services - Filtering
We have reviewed several
documents listing Supportive Services.
Depending on the program including MHSA programs optional Supportive
Services can be rather intense. We
define “Intense” to mean cutting into one’s self determined Quality Of Life
(QOL) and Satisfaction. We find that if
the Physical Housing Quality (PHQ-Environment) is not up to snuff: How will one
expect to deliver about their Personal Wellness Vision (PWV)? Again the rent a shared room dynamic is
pretty intense even in the best of times.
These HQS assessments describe both Physical and Service elements. For upcoming reports we will sort them a bit
using more than just a listing filter.

Shanks’ scored high for Less Promising Features (LPFs) in reality Shanks’
