Statement of Program Service Accomplishments
(continued from Form 990, Part III, line 4a)
a. PATRICK HENRY FAMILY SHELTER (PHFS) IS DESIGNATED AS A LARGE FAMILY SHELTER (FIVE OR MORE FAMILY MEMBERS) AND HAS A CAPACITY OF SEVEN FAMILIES. THE AFTER HOURS FAMILY CRISIS CENTER IS ALSO LOCATED AT PHFS, AND IT HAS TWO TEMPORARY APARTMENTS FOR EMERGENCIES. ADULTS CAN BENEFIT FROM PROGRAMS SUCH AS HEALTH EDUCATION CLASSES, ORGANIZATION WORKSHOPS, RESUME WRITING AND INTERVIEW SKILLS WORKSHOPS, HOUSING LOCATION SERVICES, ETC.AT THE SAME TIME, THE CHILDREN CAN BENEFIT FROM PROGRAMS AS WELL. THESE INCLUDE: AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING, BIRTHDAY PARTIES, HOLIDAY PARTIES, KIDS' NIGHT, SCHOOL SHOPPING, ETC. WE SERVED 48 FAMILIES IN FYE JUNE 2013 THROUGH THIS SHELTER. B. KATHERINE HANLEY FAMILY SHELTER (KHFS) HAS NO FAMILY SIZE LIMIT, BUT CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 20 FAMILIES AT A TIME. IT WAS THE FIRST SHELTER IN FAIRFAX COUNTY TO OPERATE ON THE "HOUSING FIRST/RAPID REHOUSING" MODEL, EMPHASIZING MOVING FAMILIES INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH FAMILIES ONCE THEY ARE IN PERMANENT HOUSING. ONCE THE FAMILY ENTERS THE SHELTER, THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY ASSESSED FOR MAJOR HOUSING BARRIERS. THE KHFS STAFF ASSISTS THE FAMILIES IN OVERCOMING THOSE BARRIERS. THE FAMILIES ARE THEN MOVED INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS OFFERED AT KHFS INCLUDE: HOUSING LOCATION SERVICES, EMPLOYMENT COACHING, AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING, ETC. WE SERVED 122 FAMILIES THROUGH THIS SHELTER IN FYE JUNE 2013. C. ARTEMIS HOUSE BECAME A PART OF SHELTER HOUSE IN 2010. THIS PROGRAM IS SPECIFICALLY FOR FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS FLEEING DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING. THESE CLIENTS INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL SURVIVORS, PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED, AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO HAVE WITNESSED AND POSSIBLY EVEN EXPERIENCED ABUSE THEMSELVES. ARTEMIS HOUSE STAFF STRIVES TO PROFICE A SAFE AND STABLE HOME-LIKE ENVIRONMENT WHERE MUTUAL RESPECT AND CONSTRUCTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS ARE MODELED. THREE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES FOR ARTEMIS HOUSE CLIENTS ARE SAFETY, EMPOWERMENT, AND SECURITY. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAM INCLUDE CRISIS INTERVENTION, TEMPORARY HOUSING, SAFETY PLANNING, IMMEDIATE BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE, COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE PLANNING AND CASE MANAGEMENT TO PREPARE FOR A TRANSITION TO MORE PERMANENT, SAFE AND STABLE HOUSING. WE SERVED 115 HOUSEHOLDS IN THIS SHELTER IN FYE JUNE 2013. D. SHELTER HOUSE ALSO SUPPORTS FAMILIES WHO ARE LIVING IN TRANSITIONAL OR PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING THROUGH FOUR DIFFERENT PROGRAMS: 1. OFF-SITE HOUSING: THIS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FOUR APARTMENT UNITS IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, EACH OF WHICH IS OWNED BY SHELTER HOUSE AS WELL AS A THREE YEAR SHARED HOUSE CALLED IVES HOUSE. THIS PROGRAM IS A NON-TIME LIMITED PROGRAM AND SERVES FAMILIES THAT HAVE HIGH BARRIERS TO HOUSING DUE TO LARGE DEBT AND OR POOR CREDIT. FAMILIES CONTINUE TO BE ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER TO HELP THEM DECREASE OR ELIMINATE THESE BARRIERS TO HELP THEM MOVE TO PERMANENT HOUSING. 2. RISE (REACHING INDEPENDENCE THROUGH STABILITY AND EMPOWERMENT) PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING: SOME FAMILIES WHO FACE HOMELESSNESS ALSO FACE SEEMINGLY INSURMOUNTABLE BOUNDARIES. FOR FAMILIES WHOSE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD IS HOMELESS, HAS MULTIPLE BARRIERS, INCLUDING DISABLING OR CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND MAY HAVE HAD CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, THE RISE PROGRAM CAN PROVIDE THEM A STABLE SECOND CHANCE. THE UNIT'S OPERATIONS ARE MANAGED THROUGH AN EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FAIRFAX COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY SERVICES, SHELTER HOUSE, RESTON INTERFAITH AND NEW HOPE HOUSING. THE 20 UNITS AVAILABLE PROVIDE HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS WITH ACCESS TO A FLEXIBLE AND COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF SERVICES. FAMILIES ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THE RISE PROGRAM UNTIL THEIR YOUNGEST CHILD TURNS 18 YEARS OF AGE, GIVING THEM A CONTINUED, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. CASE MANAGES HAVE MORE TIME TO ENGAGE THE FAMILIES AND BREAK TRUST BOUNDARIES THAT CAN LEAD TO A RELAPSE OF HOMELESSNESS. 3. STRIDE (SUCCESS THROUGH RESPONSIBILITY, INITIATIVE, DETERMINATION, AND EMPLOYMENT): IN THIS PROGRAM, WE PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO AN ADDITIONAL SIX FAMILIES IN TRANSITIONAL HOUSING. PARTICIPATING FAMILIES BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM FOCUS ON TRAINING AND EDUCATION DURING THEIR TWO YEARS OF PARTICIPATION. THEY RECEIVE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES THROUGHOUT THAT TIMEFRAME. VARIOUS PROGRAMS ARE ALSO HELD AT THE SHELTER FOR THE CLIENTS TO ATTEND. 4. COMMUNITY CASE MANAGEMENT: AFTER FAMILIES HAVE LEFT SHELTER AND ENTERED PERMANENT HOUSING, THEY CONTINUE TO RECEIVE CASE MANAGEMENT. SINCE THERE ARE OFTEN MULTIPLE BARRIERS TO OVERCOME IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN PERMANENT HOUSING, THE COMMUNITY CASE MANAGER WILL WORK WITH FAMILIES FOR UP TO A YEAR ON THESE ISSUES. THIS IS A CRITICAL PIECE OF THE "HOUSING FIRST/RAPID REHOUSING" MODEL. THIS MODEL IS BASED ON THE THOUGHT THAT FAMILIES RESPOND BETTER TO SERVICES ONCE THEY ARE IN THEIR OWN HOMES, RATHER THAN IN SHELTERS. COMMUNITY CASE MANAGEMENT ALSO HAS A PREVENTION ASPECT. BEFORE FAMILIES ARE REFERRED TO SHELTER, A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT IS DONE TO DETERMINE WHAT HOUSING BARRIERS THE FAMILY HAS. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE FAMILY IS NOT AT IMMINENT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS, THE FAMILY WILL BE REFERRED TO A COMMUNITY CASE MANAGEMENT WHERE THEY WILL RECEIVE SERVICES TO HELP PREVENT THEM FROM BECOMING HOMELESS THROUGH RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND HOUSING LOCATION SERVICES IF NEEDED.
