CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
1. CCS/N does an annual audit. There are no audit issues.
2. The effectiveness of the project is measured by comparing the outcomes to the
goals. The primary goals are to provide emergency shelter and meals for homeless
individuals and families and assist them in regaining self-sufficiency. ESG
funding is vital to the continuation of this project. The project will be
continued as it has been operated for the past 5 years under the auspices of
CCS/N. We are continually exploring other sources of funding.
3. The CHAS reports that there are 3,521 homeless or at risk of being homeless
people in Weld. It estimates that in the next 5 years 100 family and 150 solo
units will be needed for emergency housing. all current shelter facilities are
over-crowded. It indicates a need for a holistic approach to emergency housing
and emphasis is on maintenance of current network. / For the county this is a
level 2 priority while for the City emergency housing is a level one priority.
Coordination of funding efforts is a priority. CCS/N will continue to provide
emergency housing for singles and families with a continued emphasis on a
holistic approach. We will continue to work within the network and enforce
involvement of clients in the case management/support system by refusing
continued stay to those unwilling to participate in these programs. CCS/N will
continue to work closely with WIRS, AWP, and GTH as well as the Weld Housing
Authority and Social Services on resource development and cooperation funding
search.
4. The performance contract between Weld DSS and CCS/N states that CCS/N shall
meet overall performance standards as established in the ESG plan. CCS/N will
develop/pursue the possibility of sharing case management services with WIRS,
AWP, GTH. CCS/N will share client profile information with the WELD DSS, AWP,
GTH, WIRS. CCS/N will provide emergency shelter to 625 individuals between
7/1/91 and 6/30/92. CCS/N has complied with performance standards as
established. CCS/N has met about every 2 months with the above agencies for the
purpose to discussing ESG performance. Reports of these meetings have been
submitted to Weld DSS. CCS/N has discussed with the above agencies the
possibility of sharing case management services. Directors of each of these
agencies has stated that they are short staffed and could not even discuss the
possibility of sharing staff time. We routinely refer all clients to WIRS for
homeless case management services. CCS/N has a questionnaire which is completed
by all singles and heads of households in the shelter. This information is
shared with all agencies noted above. CCS/N provided service to 789 individuals
in the period 1/1/91 to 12/31/91. From 7/1/91 through 2/29/92 we provided
service to 415 individuals. There are no unmet goals.

MANAGEMENT CAPACITY TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT
A WOMAN'S PLACE
Our 1990 audit, completed by Anderson & Whitney, identified a material weakness
in internal control, due to the bookkeeper being the only person handling the
money. At the suggestion of our auditors, we have initiated new procedures to
correct these concerns to the best of our ability with limited staff, to provide
a checks and balance system.
The Board of Directors of a Woman's Plan, Inc. , is in the process of recruiting
and hiring a new Executive Director. In the interim period, program
effectiveness will be monitored by staff to ensure that we continue to provide
a safe shelter for homeless victims of family violence. Pauline Jaouen is the
Administrative Assistant and will be responsible for all reporting and financial
issues. Ms. Jaouen has a BS degree in Mathematics from CSU, and MBA degree in
Business, with an emphasis in Accounting from UNC, and has completed all the
course work for a doctorate degree in accounting from CU. She is a Certified
Public Accountant and worked as a CPA for three years. She also taught
accounting courses for 10 years at UNC. Judy Knapp is the Program Supervisor and
will assist with monitoring the grant. She has a BS degree in Business
Administration from Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and has
eleven years of business experience, including five years with non-profit
organizations.
As the only shelter program in Weld County, this project will provide services
to homeless domestic violence victims, according to the objectives of the
City/County Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) .
Based on the Scope of Services contained in the Weld County Department of Social
Services Contract, A Woman's Place, Inc. , has accomplished the objectives of
providing shelter to homeless women and children who are victims of domestic
violence by being funded operations; specifically for maintenance and repairs,
utilities, insurance, and supplies.

MANAGEMENT CAPACITY TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT
GREELEY TRANSITIONAL HOUSE
a) The progression from crisis management to self-sufficiency is accomplished
through an intensive case management program in which residents participate in
setting realistic immediate and long range goals. Residents must be active
participants in finding employment, participating in training programs, and
pursuing affordable housing. Resident progress is monitored by case workers who
encourage and support residents in accomplishing their goals. We have also
initiated a follow-up program to continue to work with families once they have
left our initial 30-45 day program. In 1991, over 84% of the resident families
secured permanent housing and 79% secured employment or training by the time they
left our initial program. In 1992, 5,353 nights of shelter was provided by the
Transitional House. This number grows each year, but as we approach maximum
annual occupancy more people will have to be turned away. In 1991, approximately
175 individuals could not be served either because of full occupancy at GTH or
because of a referral to another more appropriate agency in the county.
The primary goals for 1992 include maintaining the 85% of residents securing
permanent housing, and striving, over the next 2 years, to aim for 95% success
rate in working toward housing placement in the 1991 statistic of 79% for
residents securing employment, educational advancement, or training in 1992.
In 1991, the follow-up program served 50 families with 434 contacts. This
continues to be a very important component of the Transitional House delivery of
service. GTH can do much in 30-45 days to alleviate the immediate crisis, but
that does not allow sufficient time to affect long term change. We feel it is
imperative that families have a supportive and encouraging environment once they
leave our initial program and move into permanent housing. Often families return
to the same environment and fragmented support system which attributed initially
to their homelessness. Without intervention all the factors which led to their
homelessness are still present and the cycle may very well begin again. The
support network of the homeless families needs to be restructured and rebuilt.
The follow-up case management family support system helps to empower the families
to attain their maximum level of self-sufficiency. Needless to say this remains
a priority program at GTH.
The children' s room was completed in 1991 and has proven to be a very positive
asset to Transitional House programs. We are planning for increased programs for
the children through a cooperative effort with the U.N.C. Family Studies
Internship program. They are currently researching an on-going children;s
activity program to address the needs of children in crisis.
As summarized from above, we will be evaluating our program and services at GTH
through a variety of specific short and long range percentage goals regarding the
homeless population served. These goals guide the process daily at Transitional
House.
s
GREELEY TRANSITIONAL HOUSE

b) The long range funding goals for GTH include a specific target for revenues
and support over the next three years. This includes the following analysis of
past percentage funding courses along with a three year goal to stabilize and
further secure the funding of the programs.

contributions
We are hoping to anticipate the current funding trends over the long term with
the goal of finding a realistic balance to maintain a healthy financial
foundation for the Transitional House.
3. The CHAS strategy recognizes the increasing numbers of the homeless
population in Weld County reflected in the overcrowding and the growing waiting
lists for each agency. However, indicated in the narrative for Weld County "new
construction is not planned for the homeless population." The County does
support a variety of homes facilities and services, this activity is a "level two
priority" for the County with emphasis on the maintenance of the current network
already established. This is where the GTH 92-93 request for ESG funds works to
meet the objectives of CHAS. These funds help to maintain a very strong program,
this operating support is the true foundation of our community based program.
The integrity of our program is always tied very closely to the ability to meet
the operating expenses year-in and year-out, while always striving to provide
effective services.

MANAGEMENT CAPACITY TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT
WIRS
Weld Information and Referral Service will be responsible to provide Weld County

j . provide timely reports to the Community, Funding Sources, and Service
provides as to the condition of the Homeless Issue in Weld County, and to
any significant impacts that services have had on the Homeless Issue
3. Under the Scope of the CHAS, WIRS has supplied information on the needs
and the current available resources in Weld County. Within the WIRS Case
Management Program it strongly emphasizes the goals of the CHAS as stated
on page 11 of the CHAS, "It can stated that there are a number of special
populations needing assistance both in housing and support services
throughout the county. If there are federal. . . . Because of the tight
economy, people are in jobs either part-time or full-time with little, if
any, benefits. These are the people WIRS is seeing. With the ESG monies
WIRS is able to make services available to these populations. As
mentioned on page 60 of CHASE, affordable housing is a big issue in Weld

County. Note that just providing housing will not resolve the entire
issue that a number of homeless families face, i.e. drug abuse,
dysfunctional family, lack of employment, etc. , supportive services must
be a part of the entire housing plan.

ANTICIPATED IMPACT ON NEED
•
WELD INFORMATION AND RESEARCH SERVICE
The impact of the project will be the decrease in homeless families and individuals
in Weld County. In helping a family become self-sufficient not only do you make a difference
for one family but more important you set an example for the children to follow. This will
help them to realize that homelessness is not the norm, but having a safe place to go to
every night and a roof over their head is a normal way of life. Goals for this program are
to alliviate the family from facing not only short term crisis of losing their home but to
help them obtain the services to learn the skills to meet their needs on a long term basis.
A WOMANS PLACE
As with many Shelter Programs, Funding of on-going, day to day operations is a continuing
problem. While the funds from ESG will not be able to help with the current overcrowding
and lack of.space, it will enable A WOMANS PLACE to continue providing emergency crisis
sheltering, food, advocacy support to women and their children who are victims of domestic
violence.
Through ESG Support, it will enable A WOMANS PLACE to provide routine repairs, maintenance
and other costs associated with operating a shelter facility.
GUADALUPE CENTER / CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES
Guadalupe Center provides emergency overnight shelter and meals for single and families
who have no place to stay. Average length of stay is 5 nights. Guadalupe Center is the only
shelter in the county which serves single males, with the exemption of DAV which serves
veterans. It is the only shelter which serves migrants. Moreover, it is the only shelter
which accepts women and families who do not need the specific criteria required by other
shelter programs in the county. Finally, the Guadalupe Center serves as a back-up when other
resources have been exhausted.
To assure that the needs of the residents are addressed as comprehensively as possible all
eligibile individuals are reffered toWIRS case Management Program.
GREELEY TRANSITIONAL HOUSE
The Greeley Transitional House will be providing quality services to homeless families
in need of temporary shelter and case management.
Emergency Shelter Funds will make it possible to maintain the current level of services
by funding the services by funding operation expenses for Greeley Transitional House. This
support is critical to continuing to provide these services.

Dear Bruce:
The United Way of Weld County Board of Directors has approved
the Allocations Committee recommendations for 1992 fund
distribution. 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 .
United Way compliments the Greeley Transitional House on your
strong involved ..Board and staff. We are pleased to see your
awareness of the importance of a good funding mix. We wish
you well in your fund raising endeavors.

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 .
In order to keep United Way's commitment in line with service
delivery, we are purchasing the total number of units
requested at 1991 cost.
The allocation for Greeley Transitional House is:
Program Unit Cost Total
Shelter 5, 000 nights 3 . 00 15, 000
The total allocation for 1992 : $15, 000
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.

A Woman's Place - February 28 , 1992 Page 2
In these difficult economic times with housing dollars
shrinking, the Allocation's Committee would like to suggest it
may be more appropriate for A Woman's Place staff and Board to
concentrate on developing funding options rather than expansion
of programs.United :Way is concerned that A Woman's Place 1992
programmatic budget does not conform to United Way's
requirements. We are still unsure as to how United Way units
were calculated. Therefore, a new 1992 budget, which meets
United Way of Weld bounty 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

Thanks to our community's generous support, United Way is able
