Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

SOUTH OAKLAND SHELTER'S EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM PROVIDES LODGING, MEALS, TRANSPORTATION AND CASE MANAGEMENT TO MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN. IN 2021/2022, WE PROVIDED 412 INDIVIDUALS WITH 38,202 NIGHTS OF LODGING. THOUGH THE CERA PROGRAM WE WERE ABLE TO RESOLVE IMMEDIATE CRISES BY PROVIDING A VARIETY OF SERVICES INCLUDING EVICTION PREVENTION & EMERGENCY UTILITY ASSISTANCE TO PREVENT SHUT-OFFS OVER THE PAST YEAR, LIGHTHOUSE HAS PROVIDED EVICTION PREVENTION SERVICES TO 4,357 INDIVIDUALS IN 1,912 HOUSEHOLDS. 235 OTHER INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED PREVENTION SERVICES. SOUTH OAKLAND SHELTER PROVIDED FOOD TO 23,839 INDIVIDUALS.


SOUTH OAKLAND SHELTER IMPLEMENTS HOUSING-FIRST PROGRAMMING THAT MOVES PEOPLE FROM HOMELESSNESS TO LONG-TERM STABILITY. HOUSING PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR WHICH INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES CAN ACCESS THE SERVICES AND SUPPORTS NEEDED TO SUCCEED. SOUTH OAKLAND SHELTER'S HOUSING PROGRAMS PROVIDE A COMBINATION OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND INTENSIVE IN-HOME CASE MANAGEMENT. DURING 2021/2022, SOUTH OAKLAND SHELTER HAD 76 INDIVIDUALS IN TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND PROVIDED 152 INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS WITH PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. ALL CLIENTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY SECURE HOUSING MAY PARTICIPATE IN SOUTH OAKLAND SHELTER'S FOLLOW-UP CARE PROGRAM. FOLLOW-UP CARE CASE MANAGERS PROVIDE IN-HOME CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR ONE FULL YEAR TO ASSIST CLIENTS IN MAINTAINING THEIR HOUSING. OVER 331 INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVED THOUGH FOLLOW UP CARE IN 2021/2022 AND 97% OF THOSE WHO COMPLETED THE PROGRAM MAINTAINED THEIR HOUSING.


WHILE IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE MEET THE EMERGENCY NEEDS OF THOSE EXPERIENCING POVERTY, TO TRULY ADDRESS MULTIGENERATIONAL SYSTEMIC POVERTY WE MUST GO BEYOND RESOLVING HOUSEHOLD LEVEL CRISES. WE MUST ALSO PROVIDE LONG-TERM AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS THAT PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH THE FOUNDATION NEEDED TO FOCUS ON LONG-TERM GOALS, ACHIEVE STABILITY, AND END INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OAKLAND COUNTY HOUSEHOLDS ARE RENT BURDENED PAYING MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR PRETAX INCOME ON RENT. OAKLAND COUNTY NEEDS MORE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTY. LIGHTHOUSE ADDRESSES THIS NEED THROUGH A MULTIFACETED STRATEGY THAT CURRENTLY INCLUDES BUILDING AND DEVELOPING NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ACQUIRING AND RENOVATING EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
