How does this program relate to the Consolidated Plan priority? Does this program serve a targeted area? Who is the target population? Where wm11 the program take place? How will this program benefit the Low -Mod income community? Are you working with other organizations in a cooperative effort on the program? LUMT 3 pages Pye 4 D. ,Protect Summary 1. Through the Emergency Assistance Program of The Salvation Army, vouchers to a local pharmacy are provided to homeless persons living in shelters, on the streets, and in group homes to purchase prescriptions. In addition, funds are included in this program to augment salaries for caseworkers working with those clients who need assistance with job searches, residences, counseling, etc. Our mission statement reads, in part, that we are "to meet human needs in His name without discrimination " The Salvation Army's Lubbock Corps Family Services Office Emergency Assistance program helped to meet the needs of clients with shelter, hot meals, laundry and showers, clothing, household items, rental/mortgage and utility chers assistance, food vouchers, medical prescriptions Mlor a efgency won. A new service was instituted in 2005 to provide the homeless population with the ability. to receive personal and business mail and telephone voice messages for employment appointments and messages from their families. The Salvation Army has been serving the City of Lubbock for mote than 83 years. We currently operate an Emergency Shelter and Family Services office at 1614 Avenue J; Administrative Offices at 1111 1 e Street; and a Thrift Store at 1420 Avenue J. The Salvation Army's near downtown locations are ideally located to serve a significant portion of the homeless population. The Salvation Army is one of the largest non-profit organizations in the United States. Services provided by The Salvation Army in Lubbock are primarily targeted at low, very low and extremely low-income persons, and at -risk youth within the city, particularly those in crisis situations and those who are victims of disaster. The strength of The Salvation Army's ability is to generate fixxeased revenues to meet the growing needs of local citizens. The Salvation Army excels in developing private support, through mail appeals, Thrift Store operations and other income -enhancing projects to help fund its services. The strong support that The Salvation Army receives from the people of the City of Lubbock is due, in large part, to the public's perception that the Army is meeting some of the community's most pressing needs in an effective and cost-efficient manner. PW3 Solicitations for medical prescription assistance has shown a dramatic rise in requests. Marginally homeless and single parent households are the largest group of first-time applicants, and their numbers have risen appreciably. The continued breakdown of the traditional family unit contributes enormously to the escalating number of homeless and marginally homeless. The Salvation Army Family Services is a leader in providing assistance and free counseling services for the needy in the Lubbock community. The Salvation Army maintains strong cooperative relationships with many local human service organizations, churches, civic groups and public agencies. The Amory also actively participates in many coordinating bodies, including the Lubbock Homeless Consortium, in an effort to reduce duplication of service and to maximize the collective efforts of all service agencies in the Lubbock area. The Salvation Army is also a charter member agency of the Lubbock Area United Way, which provides less tbanlQ'/o of the Army's annual operating revenues. 2. Goals and Objectives: > To assure that no person is denied medical assistance due to lack of assets by providing homeless persons and families with funds for prescriptions. > Accommodate a growing need for counseling to the homeless who have suffered job loss, or other circumstances that temporarily prevent self-sufficiency. > Assist in establishing healthy ties between clients and community -based services and organizations, which can form a support system for the individual or family in crisis. Pale 6 3. List of Activity Measures/Steps required to reach our Goals and Objectives: Measurement Tools Tinxeline 1. Client survey satisfaction form. Upon completion of case. 2. Discharge evaluation form to be completed Upon completion of case. jointly by client and caseworker. 3. Follow-up contact with community resource Weekly organizations by caseworker. 4. Telephone survey of major referral sources to determine if any eligible clients have applied for assistance. Quarterly S. Review all transitional family cases to determine current status of conditions. 6. Compare the number of clients served with statistics. from previous years to determine if increased numbers can be verified. Quarterly 7. Follow contacts with community resources to which clients were referred for support services to see what percentage of participants are self-supporting and not homeless. Quarterly 4. Evaluation: The evaluation methods The Salvation Army will use to assess the Emergency Assistance Program, in addition to the measurements listed, will include the following: > Annual review by The United Way. > Annual review by The Salvation Army's Divisional Headquarters (Dallas) using established national standards and practices manual and guidelines. > Requested annual reviews by the local Homeless Coalition - These reviews will cover program quality, intake procedures, effectiveness in meeting the needs of individuals, and cost efficiency. Page 7 E. Program Income Anticipated Income Our programs are targeted to the homeless, low and very low income families in order to provide fiords for counseling and prescriptions. The Budget of Specific Assistance to Individuals is reviewed semi-annually, and appropriations are designated to meet the current needs. The amount spend during fiscal year 2004 by The Salvation Army in Lubbock for specific assistance included grants from the City of Lubbock Homeless Prevention, Essential Services, FEMA and other grants. ' _L O-3- 1 7,Y1.17 Homelessness, troubled and recidivism razes among these targeted areas are community issues that are costly to both local government and to residents and businesses. The results are easily measured in terms of local jail costs, hospital emergency room charitable cases, poor school performance, etc. Homeless individuals and families who are safely housed and provided support services are far less likely to be a burden on local taxpayers —and are much more likely to become self-sufficient.

For many years, The Salvation Army has been named "America's Favorite Charity." One of the major strengths of The Salvation Army is its ability to generate private support to help fiord its services and to meet growing needs. In all of its various programs, The Salvation Army strives to achieve the maximum possible results in an effective and cost-efficient manner. The Salvation Army maintains strong cooperative relationships with many local human service organizations, churches, civic organizations and public agencies. The Salvation Army also actively participates with several agencies in an effort to reduce duplication of services and to maximize the collective efforts of all service agencies in the Lubbock area. Many organizations depend on The Salvation Army to provide emergency assistance and shelter services to clients that come to them for help —and who are then referred to The Salvation Army. The client profile clearly shows that The Salvation Army is serving a racially and religiously diverse population with a strong desire to become financially self-sufficient, but who are limited by low educational levels and few marketable skills. The Salvation Army is able W help these individuals achieve self-sufficiency through timely and effective services, and with the generous support of the public, which has strong confidence in the organization's ability and its mission. At the same time, The Salvation Army has recognized the challenge of a growing and changing need for its services in the years ahead With the requested support of the City of Lubbock and the generosity of local citizens and businesses, The Salvation Army will be able to serve additional clients with basic human needs. The Salvation Army is also a charter member agency of United Way of Lubbock, which provides less than 10% of the Army's annual operating revenues.

Fade 13 PROJECT SUMMARY: This project would fund specific components of the Family Services Program by assisting homeless individuals who are in need of prescriptions and counseling assistance. Statistics indicate a greater number of elderly (55 years and older), disabled, homeless, and marginally homeless are applying for first-time *assistance. The most important objective in any homeless situation, in any community, is to prevent homelessness from occurring. The primary objective is to provide prescriptions and counseling assistance to those persons who lack permanent addresses and to assist in obtaining necessary job skills to seek employment. Counselors are also available to make referrals to other agencies for assistance with food stamps, housing, medical care, Social Security, etc. Lack of job skills, mental illness, alcohol and drug abuse are some of the underlying causes of homelessness. Living on the streets causes illness and increases requests for prescription assistance. Illnesses such as chronic lung diseases, diabetes, heart problems and HIV are among the major requests for this service. The goal of The Salvation Army is to assist people in becoming independent. This objective reduces the cost to the taxpayer and helps to increase the probability of keeping a family unit intact. The fiords from this program will be used to increase the number of households that will be assisted with fiords to continue to maintain a suitable standard of living.

The Salvation Army has been serving the City of Lubbock for over 82 years. We are one of the areas largest not -for -profit organizations. Services provided by The Salvation Army are primarily targeted at low, very low income persons in need of rent and/or utility assistance. The central Lubbock locations in use by The Salvation Army are ideally situated to serve the greater portion of the population of low income families and at -risk youth within the city. However, families from the entire City of Lubbock will benefit from rent and/or utility subsidies. We currently operate an Emergency Shelter and Family Services office at 1614 Avenue J, Administrative Offices at 1111 16'k Street, and a'Thrift Store at 1420 Avenue J. Through the Emergency Assistance s ski gram of w- iteh�vation Army, fiords are provided for rent and utility subsidies, foWprescnptions and transportation. Clothing and miscellaneous household items are also available to those families within Lubbock County. A new service was instituted in 2005 to provide the homeless population with the ability to receive personal and business mail and telephone voice messages for employment opportunities messages from their families. Our mission statement reads, in part, that we are "to meet human needs in His name without discrhnhz ion. " One of the major strengths of The Salvation Army is the ability to generate increased revenues to meet growing needs. The Salvation Army excels in developing private support, through holiday appeals, Thrift Store operations and other income -enhancing projects to help fund its services. The Salvation Army receives more contributions than any other non-profit organization in the United States. The strong support that The Salvation Army receives from the people of the City of Lubbock is due, in large part, to the public's perception that the Army is meeting some of the community's most pressing needs in an effective and cost-efficient manner. Paws In addition, the revisions to the welfare system made over the past few years continue to contribute to the rise in the solicitations for rent, clothing, food and medical prescription assistance. The largest increase of first-time applicants are 55 years and older. Marginally homeless and single parent households are still a substantial number of applicants. Of the factors contributing to need, problems with finding suitable employment, affordable housing, child care and transportation take priority. The continued breakdown of the traditional family unit contributes enormously to the escalating number of marginally homeless and single parent households. The Salvation Army Family Services is a leader in providing assistance and free counseling services. The Family Services center works diligently to meet the increased requests for assistance. The Salvation Army maintains strong collaorative relationships with many local human service organizations, churches, civic groups and public agencies. The Army also actively participates in many coordinating bodies, including the Lubbock Homeless consortium, in an effort to reduce duplication of service and to maximize the collective efforts of all service agencies in the Lubbock area. Tlm Salvation Army is also a charter member agency of the United Way of Lubbock, which provides less than 10% of the Army's annual operating revenues. 2. Goals and Objectives: > To assist in providing safe shelter for individuals and families, counseling, job referrals and other support services; > Develop case plans for all clients which are designed to help in securing permanent housing and to prevent the repetition of conditions leading to homelessness; > Help clients establish links and relationships with other community -based organizations, which will help promote self-sufficiency and increased self-respect and form a support system for the individual/family; > A major goal is to assure that no person is denied safe shelter due to lack of assets by providing families with shelter and utilities to establish safe living conditions. This program will assist up to 100 Lubbock households that might otherwise be at risk. In addition to rent and /or utility subsidies, these clients may be assisted with food and/or medical prescriptions. !ne 6 3.

Program Income Anticipated Income Our programs are targeted to low income individuals/families in order to subsidize rent/utility payments that are in arrears,, and do not include funding for down payments or deposits. The Budget of Specific Assistance to Individuals for fiscal year October 1, 2004 - September 30, 2005 is $165,866. The amount spent during fiscal year 2004 by The Salvation Army in Lubbock for specific assistance included grants from the City Of Lubbock Homeless Prevention, Essential Services, FEMA and other grants. Return On Investment Homelessness, troubled and recidivism rates among these targeted areas are community issues that are costly to both local government and to residents and businesses. The results are easily measured in terms of local jail costs, hospital emergency mom charitable cases, poor school performance, etc. Homeless individuals and families who are safely housed and provided support services are far less likely to be a burden on local taxpayers —and are much more likely to become self-sufficient F.

For a number of years, The Salvation Army was named "America's Favorite Charity" by an independent survey of Americans —an indication of the high regard in which the organization is held by the general public. One of the major strengths of The Salvation Army is its ability to generate increased revenues to meet growing needs.

The Salvation Army maintains strong collaborative relationships with many local human service organizations, churches, civic organizations and public agencies.

Many of these groups depend on The Salvation Army to provide emergency assistance and shebw services to clients that come to them for help —and who are then referred to The Salvation Army. This strong support for The Salvation Army in Lubbock is due, in large part, to the public's perception that The Salvation Army is meeting some of the community's most pressing needs in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

The Salvation Army is able to assist these individuals achieve self-sufficiency through timely and effective services and with the generous support of the public.

The Salvation Army has been operating an Emergency Shelter for the homeless in Lubbock over 82 years. Our mission statement reads, in part, that we are "to meet human needs in His name without discrimination." The Salvation Army Emergency Shelter provides lodging, showers, hygiene products, laundry facilities and counseling to homeless men, women and children. They also serve two meals to clients demonstrating an inability to provide for themselves or in emergency situations. A new service was instituted in 2005 to provide the homeless population with the ability to receive personal and business mail and telephone voice messages for employment opportunities and messages from their families. The Salvation Army is one of the areas largest not -for -profit organizations. The services that we provide are primarily targeted at low, very low and extremely low income persons, particularly those in crisis situations and those who are victims of disaster. A majority of our Emergency Shelter clients are Lubbock County residents. The lack of affordable housing, increased utility costs, transportation, child care, medical care, food costs, etc. are some of the underlying causes for seeking shelter. The central Lubbock locations in use by The Salvation Army are ideally situated to serve the greater portion of the population of low income families and at -risk youth within the city. Our Emergency Shelter and Family Services office, located at 1614 Avenue J, are conveniently located for access to transportation, medical facilities, educational facilities and other agencies and churches that also assist with human services. Our Administrative offices are located at 1111 16' Street, and we operate a Thrift Store at 1420 Avenue J. Our caseload statistics establish that by far the largest percentage of our shelter clients show Lubbock as their last permanent address, had lived in Lubbock for at least two months, and was either unemployed, underemployed or disabled. In 2004, the traditional "transient, traveling through and only staying in Lubbock for a day or two, totaled 2,636 and 16,306 had local addresses. Also, our clients represent the spectrum of racial makeup, with the largest group being Caucasian, followed closely by African Americans and Hispanics, similar to the ethnic makeup of the City of Lubbock. Paws The Salvation Army excels in developing private support, through holiday appeals, Thrift store operations and other income -enhancing projects to help fiord its services. The Salvation Army receives more contributions than any other non-profit organization in the United States. The strong support that The Salvation Army receives from the people of the City of Lubbock is due, in large part, to the public's perception that the Army is meeting some of the community's most pressing needs in an effective and cost-efficient manner. The Salvation Army operates the only shelter in the City of Lubbock that is open to married couples, families with children, and single men and women All services are free to the clients. The Salvation Army Family Services provides assistance and counseling services to the Lubbock community. The Salvation Army maintains strong collaborative relationships with many local human service organizations, churches, civic groups and public agencies. The Army also actively participates in many coordinating bodies, including the Lubbock Homeless Consortium, in an effort to reduce duplication of service and to maximize the collective efforts of all service agencies in the Lubbock area. The Salvation Army is also a charter member agency of the United Way of Lubbock, which provides less than 1 d% of the Army's annual operating revenues. 2.

Program Income A grant from United Way, contributions from the general public, and other grants and contributions will be the primary source of funding for this program. Return On Investment Homelessness, troubled and recidivism rates among this targeted population are community issues that are costly to both local government and to residents and businesses. The results are easily measured in terms of local jail .costs, hospital emergency room charitable cases, poor school performance, etc. Homeless individuals and families who are safely housed and provided food and shelter services are far less likely to be a burden on local taxpayers --and are much more likely to become self- sufficient and a self-reliant member of the community.
