While each agency is structured differently, aim to include team members in various roles, such as development and grant writing, intensive case management, reception and placement, and job placement or financial capabilities.  \nKey Learning Objectives:  \nAfter completing this exercise, participants should be able to:  \n• Describe and use budgeting techniques and considerations in funding allocation.  \n• Develop prioritization criteria for housing projects.  \n• Engage and collaborate with stakeholders.  \n• Understand local housing practices to implement risk assessment and mitigation strategies in project management.  \nDuration:  \nApproximately 2-3 hours, depending on group size and depth of discussion.  \n• 30 minutes to review instructions  \n• 1.5 hours Newcomer Housing Funding Allocation Simulation (Template Sheet Print-out)  \nMaterials Needed:  \n• Sample project proposals for newcomer housing initiative  \n• Budget allocation sheets  \nInstructions:  \n1. Scenario Introduction: Provide background on the community. Detail demographics, housing, funding, stakeholders.  \nEstimated Time: 10 minutes  \n2. Project Proposals: Divide participants into groups, with each group representing a housing organization or agency. Provide each group with project proposals for different newcomer housing initiatives. These proposals should vary in scope, cost, target population, and expected outcomes.  \n1  \nAssign each group a hypothetical need based on real-life examples from your respective resettlement agency.  \n• Example: \"You are assigned to HIAS, which is experiencing a high number of single mothers with children.\"  \n• Identified need: \"Housing solutions for single mothers with children.\"  \n• Task: Create a housing solution tailored to this specific need.  \nEstimated Time: 15 minutes  \n3. Needs Assessment: Based on the group’s hypothetical scenario, conduct a needs assessment to identify the gaps to be bridged to effectively and efficiently address the issue at hand.  \nEstimated Time: 20 minutes  \n4. Budget Allocation: Assign each group a hypothetical budget for funding allocation. The budget should be sufficient to support some, but not all, of the proposed projects. Encourage groups to consider budgeting techniques such as cost estimation, resource allocation, and contingency planning.  \nEstimated Time: 30 minutes  \n5. Prioritization Criteria: Develop criteria as an entire team before dividing into groups for evaluating housing focused proposals, considering urgency, impact, scalability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.  \nEstimated Time: 20 minutes  \n6. Stakeholder Engagement: Emphasize the importance of stakeholder involvement in the decision-making process. Encourage groups to identify relevant stakeholders (e.g., government agencies, community organizations, residents, newcomers) and consider their perspectives and preferences when allocating funds. Prompt groups to consider the following methods of community and stakeholder engagement:  \na. Internal Collaboration: Involve internal departments like grants, procurement, finance, and legal in decision-making.  \nb. Regular Meetings: Hold regular cross-departmental meetings to discuss goals and stakeholder feedback before, during, and after the project.  \nc. Integrated Planning: Include multiple departments in planning from the start.  \nd. Clear Communication: Establish communication channels for sharing updates and information.  \ne. Training: Provide training on stakeholder engagement for internal teams.  \nf. Feedback: Implement mechanisms to gather and incorporate feedback from various departments.  \nEstimated Time: 20 minutes  \n2  \n7.
