Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
OVERNIGHT SHELTER AND DAY SERVICES: HOMELESS YOUTH ARE INVITED TO STAY AT THE SHELTER AS LONG AS THEY ARE ACTIVELY RECEIVING SERVICES AND MAKING PROGRESS ON THEIR CASE PLAN FOR ACHIEVING SELF-SUFFICIENCY. WHEN YOUTH ENTER THE SHELTER, THEY PARTICIPATE IN AN INTAKE ASSESSMENT TO HELP DETERMINE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND IDENTIFY PERSONAL BARRIERS TO EXITING THE STREETS. WITH A CASE MANAGER, EACH YOUTH DEVELOPS A CASE PLAN TO ACHIEVE STABILITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY BY BUILDING ON EXISTING STRENGTHS AND ACCESSING COMMUNITY RESOURCES.
HOUSING SERVICES: THE PLACE PROVIDES SUPPORT TO SCATTERED SITE HOUSING UNITS. INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT, SUPPORT GROUPS, AND CASE MANAGEMENT ARE COMBINED IN OUR HOUSING PROGRAM TO PROVIDE A STABLE AND SAFE PLATFORM FOR A LIFE AWAY FROM THE STREET. EVERY YOUTH IN OUR HOUSING PROGRAM WORKS WITH A CASE MANAGER TO CREATE A CASE PLAN THAT MAY INCLUDE EDUCATION AND/ OR EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, AND ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE.
OUTREACH: THE PLACE'S STREET OUTREACH TEAM MEMBERS ARE ON THE STREETS SEEKING OUT RUNAWAY AND HOMELESS YOUNG PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY MAY BE CONGREGATING. STAFF ENGAGE YOUTH IN CONVERSATION AND DISTRIBUTE HYGIENE SUPPLIES, CLOTHING, FOOD, AND ITEMS THAT OFFER PROTECTION ON THE STREET. HEALTH FAIRS IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES ALLOW THE OUTREACH TEAM TO PROVIDE HIV AND HEPATITIS-C TESTING. OUT OUTREACH STAFF IS VERY ADEPT AT ESTABLISHING TRUST WITH THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AS WE PROVIDE REFERRALS FOR SHELTER, EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS, MENTAL HEALTH, AND/ OR DRUG COUNSELING AND HEALTH CARE.
