Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

ESTABLISHED IN 2019, NEXT STEPS (NS) IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN THE COLONY WITH A MISSION TO SERVE RESIDENTS IN IMMEDIATE CRISIS. AFTER WORKING FOR ANOTHER DALLAS-FORT WORTH (DFW) HOMELESS SERVICES ORGANIZATION THAT DISCONTINUED SERVICES IN THE COLONY, NS FOUNDER PAMELA DE SANTIAGO DECIDED THAT THE OFTEN-HIDDEN NEEDS OF ITS RESIDENTS IN CRISIS COULD NOT GO UNMET. PRIOR TO NS, MOST RESIDENTS SEEKING HELP DURING A CRISIS WENT FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH OR ORGANIZATION TO ORGANIZATION; THERE WERE NO ONGOING, CONSISTENT, COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES AVAILABLE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. AT THAT TIME, SEVERAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS FROM LOCAL CHURCHES WERE SERVING AS INFORMAL CASE MANAGERS WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND VERY LIMITED RESOURCES. NOW, NS FILLS THIS GAP IN SERVICES BY HELPING RESIDENTS OF THE COLONY OVERCOME BARRIERS ON THEIR WAY TO FINANCIAL STABILITY AND A SUCCESSFUL LIFE. NS PROVIDES THIS HELP THROUGH FINANCIAL AND EMPLOYMENT COACHING AND FOOD AND HOUSING SUPPORT.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

AS THE PANDEMIC CONTINUED TO GROW IN 2021, NEXT STEPS DEEPENED ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH DENTON COUNTY VIA THE UNITED WAY. WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE, WE HIRED A NEW FULL-TIME CASEWORKER. THIS ALLOWED NEXT STEPS TO PROVIDE 223 FAMILIES WITH RENT AND/OR UTILITY ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE ALSO PARTNERED WITH ANOTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION TO BEGIN PROMOTING A YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAM IN THE COLONY. THE NEED FOR YOUTH MENTORS IN OUR LOCAL K-12 CLASSES IS NEARLY 800 MENTORS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY 76 MENTORS. WE ARE WORKING TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM ALREADY IN PLACE BY RECRUITING NEW MENTORS TO VOLUNTEER. OUR DIRECTOR ALSO RECEIVED A CITY BOARD POSITION WHICH WILL SERVE TO DEEPEN OUR CONNECTION WITH CITY LEADERSHIP.


NS CONTINUES TO HAVE A STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COLONY'S LOCAL GOVERNMENT. NOT ONLY IS THE CITY A FINANCIAL SUPPORTER OF NS, BUT TOGETHER THEY REGULARLY COLLABORATE ON ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE CITY, SUCH AS THE 2021 WINTER STORMS. DURING THAT TIME, NS ENABLED A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND HORIZONS CHURCH TO OPEN A WARMING STATION AND WEATHER SHELTER FOR RESIDENTS WHO LOST POWER. IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN, NS TOOK THE LEAD TO SECURE DONATIONS AND HELP COORDINATE RUNNING THE SHELTER DURING THAT WEEK.
