E. DESCRIPTION OF LOCAL GOVER`;.MENT COOPQIN TION Weld County Department of Social Services has been designated as the Board of County Commissioners as the agency responsible for the coordination of homeless services. The purpose of this coordination measure is two—fold: to develop a process of review for subcontractor applications and to establish criteria as a means of avoiding duplicative efforts as well as evaluating programs. A local selection committee composed of officials from the City of Greeley, United Way, and Weld County has the responsiblity of prioritizing the applications as submitted by the subcontracting agencies. The committee met on April 3rd and prioritized the applications as follows: Weld Information and Referral Service 1 of 4 A Womans Place 2 of 4 Greeley Transitional House 3 of 4 Catholic Community Services 4 of 4 ,.-, Problem/Need Descriptions A most important element of any homeless program is addressing the goal of self-sufficiency of the target population. Components of homelessness include: poverty, mental health related issues and domestic violence. Through a follow up, casemanagement approach which encompasses networking and quality coordination, it is the intent of Weld County to meet the objective of expanding comprehensive services to homeless individuals to provide follow-up and long-term services to enable homeless individuals to make the transition out of poverty. The following chart demonstrates the types of homelessness in the County, as well as the trends which can be anticipated.

Average family size was 3. 1. Average stay per individual was 17 days, and almost 50% received subsidized housing after leaving GTH. 48 individuals located employment while at Transitional House. The average age in 1991 was 29.6 years old with the adults totaling 54 females and 43 males receiving services throughout the year. The Life Skills Support Group has served 181 adults, in 25 sessions held weekly from July 1991 to February 1992. The follow-up program has served 56 families since the beginning in 1988 (see attached statistics) . In 1991, 434 visits were made by the case worker, the total count on progress at year-end follows: -60 individuals were self-sufficient, not on AFDC -23 individuals were self-sufficient but unstable. -100 individuals were on assistance and unstable. -33 were on assistance and unstable. -8 individuals were on assistance and "on the edge: and about to lose housing. -33 individuals enrolled in college while in follow-up. -12 individuals successfully completed GED while in follow-up. -90 individuals secured employment while in follow-up. The Life Skills Support and follow-up programs are provided only for residents and past residents of GTH. There are currently no other life skills support group or follow-up programs available for homeless families in Weld County. CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES SUMMARY NARRATIVE There is a need for on-site casemanagement services for solo males and families who do not qualify for services in other shelter programs. Out of a total homeless population of 800 people seen in the shelter each year, 100 who do not qualify for other casemanagement services will receive service. The purpose is to assist these individuals (75% solo male) in securing stable employment and housing. Individuals will also be referred to other community services to assist them in stabilizing their lives. Of the 100 individuals receiving services, it is projected that 50 will obtain employment and permanent housing. 1. Statistics: During the period 1/1/91 thru 12/31/91 Guadalupe Center provided 3,961 nights of shelter and 7,922 meals to 789 individuals. This included 665 males (80%) and 124 females (20%) . There were 55 families and 87 children. 46% (369) were migrants. The average length of stay was 5 nights with the maximum stay being 30 nights. Hispanics represented 365 (65%) , Anglos 163 (29%) , Blacks 11 (2%) , Native Americans 18 (3.5%) and other minorities 3 (.5%) . 53% of the females and 43% of the males were between the ages of 18 and 29 years. 31% said they spent the previous night on the street and 24% In a vehicle. Others identified hotel/motel, shelter in another town, own home, jail, vacant building, park, church, or hospital. 69% identified employment as a source of income during the past year. Other sources of income were selling personal belongings, savings, welfare, SS/SSI, and unemployment benefits. 52% said they left their last place of residence to seek employment. 19% of the people were permanent residents of Weld County and an additional 28% were permanent residents of Colorado other than Weld. 48% had been unemployed less than one month and an additional 20% had been unemployed one to two months. In 1991 we turned away 298 people due to lack of space. We report monthly statistics to WIRS. If a person arrives on the 30th of one month and stays until the second of the next month, we must submit to WIRS a total new application, profile, report, etc. on that person on the first of the month. For that reason our records are set up on a monthly basis. 2. Agency's target population: Guadalupe Center serves any homeless person who does not have a place to stay for the night. We serve single males, single females, and families. All persons regardless of ethnic background or religious preference are served. All women and families (with the exception of migrant families) are initially referred to WIRS for referral to A Woman's Place or Transitional House. If the woman or family does not meet their criteria or if they are filled, we will house them. Women or families who arrive in the middle of the night are housed and referred to WIRS the next morning. 3. Due to the mission and structure of each of the shelter programs in the area, networking among all service providers, and the referral system in place, duplication does not exist. Each provider has a different population. WIRS tracks people in their system and will know if someone is using duplicate services. 920 11 WIRS SUMMARY NARRATIVE In 1991, 2,999 unduplicated individuals were either homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless in Weld County. Of that figure, 2,369 individuals representing 1,321 households were at-risk of becoming homeless or were confronting acute housing issues. Client characteristics were as follows: 78% were families 22% were single 33.7 was average age 3.5 was the average Family size 741 were female head of households 1,065 were male head of households 14,590 total nights of shelter were provided 9.3 average stay in a Weld County Shelter WIRS CASE MANAGEMENT DEMOGRAPHICS 156 Households participated 82% were families 18% were single 32.2 was the average age 3.7 was the average family size 67% success rate Of the 33% that were not necessarily successful in case management 20% did find housing and all were referred to at lease two additional service providers and one being Employment Services of Weld County. The WIRS target population services to the homeless include: Homeless individuals or families that are not in a shelter (except Guadalupe) that are at risk of or actually homeless. These people must be willing to change their situation. We can not make anybody do what they do not want to, but we also cannot create a dependency on our agency by a client who wants rather than needs services. Funding is so limited that although we may not give a client what they want, we do try our best to provide them with what they need as our society dictates needs. In Weld County there are a number of agencies that provide services to the homeless population. However, each agency serves a specific group of the homeless i.e. A Women' Place -Battered Women, Transitional House - Families (that are able to work) , DAV - Veterans, Guadalupe Migrants and Emergency Shelter, WIRS - Homeless at risk and those not in a shelter. WIRS will continue to work with other agencies to meet individual client needs without duplication what another agency has already done. Ca , .nq� A WOMAN'S PLACE SUMMARY NARRATIVE A Woman's Place, Inc. , provides emergency crisis intervention shelter and support services to abused women and their children. The facility has five bedrooms and can house up to 20 individuals per night. We are wheelchair accessible and have a TDD machine for usage by deaf clients. WIRS Statistics On The Homeless for 1991 reflect the increase of services that were provided to homeless women and their children who are victims of family violence. In 1991, we provided shelter services to 265 women and children, for a total of 4091 nights of shelter. Crisis counselors also responded to 3284 crisis, information and referral calls. Families can stay at the shelter for up to 30 days; however, this length of time is often extended because of the lack of safe and affordable housing in the community at the end of the 30 day period. A Woman's Place, Inc. , serves only women and children who are in special need because of incidents of family violence. Because of the potentially dangerous living conditions these people face, we provide emergency crisis shelter when these situations occur. There is no other shelter in Weld County for victims of domestic violence, so there is no duplication in the service that we are able to provide. clij. cOn4 PROJECT IMPACT Greeley Transitional House Through our experience it is evident that the support network of the homeless family must be modified. Through the follow-up case management family support system and the Life Skills Support Group, the Greeley Transitional House helps to restructure and rebuild the family support system, thereby empowering the family to attain their maximum level of self-sufficiency. The Greeley Transitional House can do much in 30-40 days to alleviate the immediate crisis, but can do much in 30-40 days to alleviate the immediate crisis, but that does not allow sufficient time to affect long term change. It is imperative that families have a supportive and encouraging environment when they leave the Transitional House and move into permanent housing. Often the families return to the same environment and fragmented support system which attributed to their homelessness; without intervention in this environment, all the factors which led to their homelessness are still present and the cycle may very well begin again. A secondary benefit of the creation of the case management family support system is the positive benefits to the children in the families. When parents feel better about themselves, the children also benefit. The homeless family lacks that "safety net" provided by a social support system and also lacks coping skills, assertion skills, and self esteem that is also provided by a good social support system. Without a support system self- sufficiency is difficult to obtain. The Life Skills Support Group helps to encourage and empower the homeless families to strive for self-sufficiency. Both of these programs provide the social support systems that can prevent a crisis and can therefore allow one to maintain and retain self-sufficiency. Catholic Community Services There is a need for on-site case management services for solo males and females who do not qualify for services in any other shelter program. Out of a total homeless population of 800 people seen in the shelter each year, 100 do not qualify for other case management services, will receive service. The purpose of case management activity through Catholic Community Services and subsequent impact, is to assist these individuals (75% solo males) in securing stable employment and housing. Individuals will also be referred to other community services to assist them in stabilizing their lives. Of the 100 individuals receiving services, it is projected that 50 will obtain employment and permanent housing. o k*'9y” i A Woman's Place The impact of this project will be the provision of the necessary services and assistance to increase the self-sufficiency of the women we serve. This will be done by coordinating our services and referrals with other agencies, monitoring the clients long term progress, and compiling comprehensive information on the issues and barriers that our clients encounter. Volunteer advocates will continue to be recruited, trained, and retained to provide assistance to the homeless women we serve as they progress through the stages from dependence to independence. The Volunteer Coordinator will assess and provide guidance to these volunteers. The Program Supervisor will provide the supervision of the staff, specifically the Case Manager and the Volunteer Coordinator, to ensure that clients are receiving the services needed, as well as be responsible for initiating changes in the program as barriers are encountered. The goal through this project will be to assist 100 families who are sheltered during the year. Through the project it is anticipated that 60 can be targeted for self-sufficiency. Weld Information and Referral Service The Homeless Case Management Program would provide a holistic structured program that works with families at the risk of becoming homeless. The program provides assessments, plans of action, support and a comprehensive case management system that enables a family to identify and resolve issues affecting their housing needs. The program will provide financial assistance to families and individuals participating and enrolled in the case management program in the areas of rental assistance, utility assistance and support areas as needed. Types of services include a single entry case management for social, health, and employment service linkages to at risk and homeless individuals and families. Prepare and provide client tracking and the monitoring of participation, program goals, and program outcomes. The overall goal and objective of this project is to prevent homelessness through the case management approach in meeting not only the immediate crisis of facing the lack of housing but to meet the long term goal of maintaining housing and the responsibilities that go along with it; i.e. parenting, budgeting, working, etc. The impact of the project will be the decrease in homeless families or individuals in Weld County. In helping a family become self-sufficient, not only do you make a difference for the one family but more importantly, you set an example for the children to follow. This will help them to realize that homelessness and crisis is not the norm, but having a safe place to go every night and a roof over their head is a normal way of life in American society. Goals for this project are to alleviate the family from facing not only the short term crisis of losing their home but to help them obtain the services to learn skills to meet their needs on a long term basis. 91:1 Uni^:d Way of Weld County, L� Y814 - 9th Street P.O.

The United Way of Weld County Board and Allocations Committee have spent countless hours struggling with the difficult task of meeting growing community need with limited resources. To increase the dollars available for the allocation process, the United Way Board has had to reduce funding in some line items and has held the United Way of Weld County operating budget at the 1991 level . Funded participant funding through the allocation process is the only line-item receiving an increase in 1992 . A total of $991, 778 . 00 will be allocated to meet community need in 1992 ; $921, 123 . 00 of which will go to funded participants. To maximize United Way's ability to • provide resources to critical community need, funding to most programs remains at 1991 levels while funding to several programs has been reduced. United Way was able to increase support of target programs and food and shelter programs. We at United Way are very proud of the work of our allocations volunteers in weighing needs and making the difficult decisions that faced our panels this year. Although this year' s available allocation dollars are very limited, United Way recognizes housing as an important area of current need. Along with food, shelter is the only need area beyond targets we are able to increase funding to in 1992 .

We are still unsure as to how United Way units were calculated. Therefore, a new 1992 budget, which meets United Way of Weld County programmatic requirements must be submitted with your 1992 contract before 1992 funds can be released. United Way is again concerned about overlap and therefore potential duplication of services among housing and crisis intervention programs, we therefore will be convening a meeting to further explore this issue during the 2nd Quarter of 1992 . United Way continues to allocate agency support to specific programs through units of service. A Woman's Place allocation for 1992 is as follows: Program Unit Cost Total Shelter 3553 nights 11. 24 39,936 Outreach 1300 contacts 7 . 69 9,997 Total allocation for 1992 : $49 , 933 Where appropriate, funding adjustments will begin with your April check. A contract for 1992 is enclosed. This contract must be approved by your Board of Directors, signed by the Board President and Executive Director and returned to United Way by March 23 , 1992 . Failure to return the contract will result in a hold on further monthly allocations. Thanks to our community's generous support, United Way is able to continue to help meet the important work you do. In these difficult economic times it is critical that we continue the partnership. We must work even harder to coordinate service delivery, be cost effective and support each other. We must also work to strengthen our joint campaign not only to maintain its steady growth but protect its place in the increasing competition for charitable donations.
