Weld Information and Referral Service
Weld Information and Referral Service is requesting ESG funds for Essential Services
and Homeless Prevention.
The Homeless Case Management Program will provide case management services
which will include landlord mediation to 19 clients.
Limited emergency financial assistance to 28 clients and/or clients needing a one time
assistance with rent or foreclosure in order to avert homelessness .
Catholic Community Services/Northern
Catholic Community Services is requesting ESG funds for Operation Costs associated
with the Guadalupe Center and for Essential Services.
Guadalupe Center is a forty bed shelter providing short term, emergency overnight
services for homeless families, single males and single females. Clients are provided
with a place to sleep, evening and morning meals, hygiene supplies, shower and
laundry facilities, information and referral and family casemanagement services.
Essential services funds were received for the first time in the 1995-1996 fiscal year for case
management services. During the period July, 1995 to March 20, 1996 nineteen families
received case management services. This represented 29 adults and 49 children, the$2,142
request would provide case management services for 6 families or approximately one-third of
those served in caase management services and client follow up transition into the community
have proven successful in moving families out of the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
Greeley Transitional House
Greeley Transitional House is requesting ESG funds for Operation Costs, Essential
Services and Homeless Prevention.
Essential Services
The Greeley Transitional House is applying for two support needs within the
area of essential services. Those are food and resient emergency needs and
transportation for client families to and from work.
In the area of food, Greeley Transitional House is requesting $150 to purchase
food for their clients at the Weld Food Bank for a mere 14 cents per pound.
The majority of food for clients is provided by local contributions. Many
families upon arrival are in need of food that moment and many times these
are times when the Food Bank is•closed. This expands Greeley Transitional
House's ability to serve the immediate needs of clients and provide a food
pantry on-site for emergency and supplemental needs. Many families come in
the evening and are in need of immediate nourishment.
In the area of resident emergency, many families are in need of help on a
one-time basis for prescriptions, health care, gas, car repairs, personal
products, fees for obtaining documents to complete forms for government
assistance and or educational fee. This fund would meet those emergency
needs and expedite their process in attaining a base line level of self-
sufficiency.
In the area of transportation, Greeley Transitional House has always been able
to obtain free bus passes from the City of Greeley for their residents to utilize
for their transportation needs, especially to and from work. However, with the
passage.of Amendment One, the City of Greeley is no longer able to fund this
project. Alternative funding has not been located. The absence of
transportation is many times a stumbling block in one being able to attain a
base line level of self-sufficiency. Funding for this project would eliminate a
barrier to self-sufficiency for our client families.
Homeless Prevention
The Greeley Transitional House can do much in 30 -45 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 GTH and move into permanent housing. Often
these families return to the same environment and fragmented support system
which attributed initially 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. Research supports the view that
social supports enhance the health and well-being of children and women, and
the lack of social supports contributes to many problems including family
homelessness (Bassuk et al., 1990).
The goal of this project is to empower families to attain their maximum level of
self-sufficiency as they move from the Greeley Transitional House into
permanent housing and prevent them from falling into the same cycle of
homelessness again and again. This goal will be accomplished in the
following manner
1. Facilitate a minimum of 35 adult head of household in life skills
group issues of self esteem, self awareness, stability,
responsibility, budget counseling and other educational topics
related to self-sufficiency;
2. Provide follow-up case management for a minimum of 42 families
completing the initial 30-45 day emergency program. Case
management will involve the establishment of a trusting,
collaborative relationship, information and referral, psychosocial
support and encouragement, assessment of needs, goal setting
and advocacy. Utilize all community agencies and resources to
aid in support of the enrolled family.
Operations funds will be utilized to pay 37% of Greeley Transitional House's total
cost for utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, rehabilitation, supplies,
telephone, and equipment. This request is a significant decrease due to the
severe cut (40%) in 1996-97 ESG funds.
A Woman's Place. Inc.
A Woman's Place provides emergency safe housing, food and support services to women and
their children who are homeless as a result of being a victim of domestic violence. A Woman's
Place is the only shelter in Weld County that provides these services to abused women and their
children who are homeless because of domestic violence. ESG funding will enhance their ability
to provide effective domestic violence related services to the people of Weld County
A Woman's Place is requesting funds for Operation Costs and Essential Services.

Greeley Transitional House
The Greeley Transitional House program has been very successful in providing services to
homeless families assisting them in achieving and maintaining stable, long-term housing;
increasing their skill levels and income; and gaining empowerment in their own lives. In 1995,
91% of our client families secured affordable permanent housing. 100% of our families secured
permanent employment and 60% are currently working towards their GED, higher educational
degrees and/or are enrolled in a vocational education program. 90% of our families are enrolled
in the follow-up program and have maintain both stability and self-sufficiency.
During eight years of its existence, The Greeley Transitional House has developed and
implemented many successful projects and received support and recognition locally, statewide
and nationally. In fact, The Greeley Transitional House was selected to be a national
demonstration project for providing emergency shelter and supportive services to homeless
families. Our recidivism rate is 0%.
Key staff include the Executive Director. Currently this position is open and will be filled within
the next two weeks. The former executive director from 1992 till 12/31/95 was (Linda S.

Extent and Urgency of Need
Weld Information and Referral Service
The geographic area to served consists of Region A which includes all of Weld County. Through
the Case management Program as well as Information and Referral Program, assessments can be
made on a case basis. This method has provided WIRS with the foundation to identify those
families and individuals who are homeless and meet the performance criteria.
In 1995, the WIRS Case Management Program, through ESG funds to date has assisted 26
applicants who either were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless with rental assistance for
the month of October, November and December. During the 1995 ESG Essential Services
program 19 clients were assisted.
WIRS is requesting $4,300 to provide short term/rental/mortgage assistance to 28 clients. WIRS
estimates the average assistance will be $150.00. WIRS is also requesting $4941.00 to provide
essential case management.
Greeley Transitional House
The Greeley Transitional has observed a significant increase in the number of homeless families
turned way due to lack of space. In 1995, sixty-three families were turn away because of this
factor. Although the number of families served has decreased slightly, this is not an indicator
that the need has decreased. Currently, families are staying longer in the shelters due to the
severe shortage of affordable housing. This factor hinders our ability to serve the current need.
We have currently been awarded a Federal Supportive Housing grant. With these monies we are
anticipating a decrease in the average length of stay thus increasing our ability to serve the
increasing need and decrease the number of turn-aways.

Project Impact (Continued)
3.Refer all clients to Consumer Counselling Services of Northern Colorado
4. Provide other referrals to client based on individual needs.
5. Provide all clients with low income housing lists which includes the local housing
authorities.
Additional 1996 ESG Goals
1. Develop and maintain a quality and timely referral network by monitoring all participating in
the case management program.
2. Identify clients receiving services within 30 days.
3. Identify bathers incurred in obtaining services
4. Meet with housing providers on a monthly basis to coordinate services.
5. Monitor self sufficiency achievement goals.
6. Provide as needed advocacy to clients participating in the program.
Greeley Transitional House
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. GTH has also •
implemented a follow-up case management program to continue to work with these families
once they have left the initial 30-45 day program. In 1995, 91% of the resident families secured
affordable housing and 100% secured employment or training by the time they left the initial
program. In 1995, 6883 nights of shelter was provided the Greeley Transitional House. This
number represents 55 families totaling 186 individuals. Of those 186 individuals, 69 were adults
and 118 were children. This number grows each year and we anticipate a 10% increase in the
number of nights of shelter provided for in 1996. In 1995, 63 families were turned away due to
lack of space.
The primary goals for 1996 include obtaining that 91% of residents will be able to secure
affordable housing, and striving, over the next three years, to aim for a 95% success rate in
working toward affordable housing placement for residents. In addition, we definitely want to
maintain the 100% success rate of our residents families securing employment and/or training by
the time they complete the initial 30-45 day program.
The follow-up case management program has served 161 families since its inception October
1990.. The following statistics represent the success of the program:
° 88% of the families were self-sufficient, stable and not on any assistance
programs.
° 12% of the families were on some type of assistance program but stable and
working towards being self-sufficient and removing self from assistance
programs.
This continues to be a very important component of The Greeley 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. It is imperative that families have a supportive
and encouraging environment once they leave the 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 and prevention 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 and maintain
their maximum level of self-sufficiency. Needless to say this remains a priority program at GTH
aimed at prevention.
The children's room was completed in 1991 and has proven to be a very positive asset to The
Greeley transitional House programs. As of August 16, 1993, GTH secured funding from the
Hasbro Children's Foundation as well as several local contributions and was able to develop and
implement a children's program. Funding was secured through state monies and the program
has expanded to a full-time children/adolescent program. The goal of this program is to
provided the much needed support in the short term and help the children and youth coping skills
to affect the long term change and stop the cycle that causes dependency in the future.
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 GTH.
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 sources along
with a three year goal to stabilize and further secure the funding of the programs.
