EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
City Homeless Outreach Team
2nd Quarter April through June 2009
- 1159.75 hours of direct service provided to
- 270 (unduplicated) individuals received either assertive outreach, outreach and/or ongoing supportive service
- 1452 hours of service contract including assertive outreach, outreach and ongoing supportive services
- 4 individuals declined services
The number of clients who received outreach services has increased during this quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, a 21% increase in services is the result of an increase number of referrals, an increase in outreach hours and the loss of a community shelter. The numbers of referrals for housing applications, the number of rental payments to prevent evictions, and referrals for emergency assistance have increased during this period. The overall number of homeless served has increased by 19% during this period.
Other Highlights
An inclusion of individuals meeting criteria for Severely Mentally Ill (SMI) in addition to Severely and Persistent Mentally Ill (SPMI) are represented in the increased numbers and hours of those being served through Homeless Outreach efforts. Participation in community efforts which address homeless issues and an ongoing collaboration among agencies has resulted in a reduction of duplicated service.
Budget Report: Increased need has taxed our flex funds to the limit. We continue to coordinate with other agencies in the community to assist our clients housing needs.
