This program serves homeless males ages 18-24. We can house 10 males at a time. We continue to exceed all our goals for the program annually. We continue to work and collaborate with many organizations in the community such as PADS, Sharing Connections, Worknet DuPage Serenity House Loaves and Fishes, Catholic Charities, Bridge Communities, WYO, DuPage Probation, DuPage Housing Authority, College of DuPage many of the Police Depts in DuPage County as well as many of the churches in the area. We are working on establishing a Consumer Advisory Council to consist of current residents and alumni. This Council will work on developing activities and opportunities to give back to the community. We are currently scheduled to make valentines cards for all the consumers at Loaves and Fishes. We have started a Graduate Leadership Program that has 2 graduates from the Program who live in the complex and work as peer mentors with youth currently in the program. This program is funded through a private donation. The council is also planning a trip down to Springfield with the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless with the intent to advocate for Homeless Youth Funding. We continue to have success with our new position of Job Coach/GED TUTOR. The youth employed in the program has risen to a steady 90%.

DuPage Daybreak Transitional Housing Project provides 11 homeless families with stable housing and the support services needed to maximize their self-sufficiency. The housing provided by DuPage Daybreak are scattered site units throughout DuPage County and ensures that these families will have better access to other basic need services that are critical for breaking the cycle of homelessness. The Daybreak Transitional Housing Project serves low-income families with children in DuPage County whose lack of housing, inadequate income, and limited life skills leave them vulnerable and homeless for extended periods. Unique to Catholic Charities Transitional Housing program are two service models for Transitional Housing in DuPage. Each model addresses varying strengths and needs of the individuals served enabling Catholic Charities to provide assistance to families in the model that best meets their individual needs. The first model offers case management and volunteer mentoring support; and the second model offers primarily case management support. The two models include essential service linkage but provide greater flexibility, funding sources and resources for meeting a variety of needs that exist with the population served. Additionally, Catholic Charities does not exclude individuals that have criminal backgrounds, lack a valid drivers license, a car, have significant amounts of debt, poor credit history, or a poor/inconsistent work history. Accomplishments: Over the past project year, Catholic Charities DuPage Daybreak Transitional Housing Program had a total of 91% (9/10 families) who exited to permanent housing. This was achieved through intensive case management in the areas of budgeting, employment and life skills training. Catholic Charities has worked hard to increase participants' knowledge in the areas of savings, reducing debt and managing their credit. This is reflecting in our past project years Total Income Measure: a total of 35% of the adults enrolled in the program increase their overall income. This is a -29% difference between the application target and the actual performance measure. Goals: Over this next program year, in regards to housing stability, DuPage Daybreak will continue to meet the target of having 80% of persons exit to permanent housing. In addition, DuPage Daybreak will meet the target of 50% of persons 18 or older who increased their total at the end of the operating year or program exit.

5 Chronically Homeless Families (20 beds) 20 : # of designated chronic beds in this project (All beds designated chronic; no chronic beds designated through turnover) 20 : # of designated chronic beds in this project currently filled with persons with a chronic homelessness status The First Light project provides 5 chronically homeless families with stable housing and the support services needed to maximize their self-sufficiency. This housing is provided through scattered site units within DuPage County. Securing stable housing for this population continues to be a challenge in our community. The housing provided by First Light is essential and ensures that these families will have better access to other basic need services that are critical for breaking the cycle of homelessness. The requirement that these families meet HUD's definition of chronically homeless is another factor that makes the project a critical and a unique part of the DuPage Homeless Continuum. The project uses leasing funds for safe, affordable housing for homeless families with complex social problems such as chronic substance abuse, severe mental illness, physical disabilities, developmental disabilities and domestic violence issues that tend to affect their quality of life. Practicing a housing first service model and applying principles of harm reduction, Catholic Charities provides housing to families without any preconditions. Families also receive intensive support services such as case management, independent living skills training, linkage to mainstream benefits, access to one-on-one employment support and other training such as parenting education, financial literacy, and Out of Poverty classes that help maximize housing stability and prevent returns to homelessness. Accomplishments: During this past program year, the First Light project was successful at having a total of 100% or 21/21 of the participants maintain their housing. Participants were able to achieve this through intensive case management, working on good housekeeping skills and maintaining their units so they can live within the community. In addition, the First Light project had 83% or 5/6 adults in the program who maintained or increased their total income. Participants achieved this goal by working with their case managers on their resume, interviewing skills and on maintaining employment. Goals: Over this next program year, in regards to housing stability, the First Light project will continue to meet the target of having 80% of persons who remained in the permanent housing program at of the end of the operating year or exited to permanent housing during the operating year. In addition, the First Light project will continue to meet the target of 50% of persons age

Partners in Housing is a unique collaboration of two agencies, Catholic Charities and DuPage PADS. Within this permanent supportive housing project, DuPage PADS combines extensive case management services and a stable residential setting so that 14 single individuals who have been chronically homeless and exhibit a complexity of needs who require a permanent supportive housing setting for an indefinite period of time can become as independent as possible. Catholic Charities provides 13 families with disabilities safe, stabilized housing for an indefinite period of time that allows for linkage and direct access to supportive services as needed for them to become as independent as possible and improve their quality of life. The housing is provided through scattered sight units within DuPage County. This project ensures that these families and individuals will have better access to other basic need services that are critical for breaking the cycle of homelessness. Accomplishments: During the past project year, the Partners In Housing Program had 100% of 8 leavers exit the program with at least one type of cash and non-cash benefit. In addition, out of the total 36 stayers, 34 or 94% have at least one type of cash income and all 36 stayers or 100% have at least one type of non-cash income. Additionally, during the program year, one family of 4 was able to exit to their own apartment with a housing choice voucher and two participants moved in with family as a permanent tenure. These turnovers allowed for two chronic beds to be added. Goals: Over this next program year, in regards to housing stability, the Partners In Housing project will continue to meet the target of having 80% of persons who remained in the permanent housing program at of the end of the operating year or exited to permanent housing during the operating year. In addition, the Partners In Housing project will continue to meet the target of 50% of persons age 18 and older who maintained or increased their total income from all sources as of the end of the operating year or program exit.

This program uses a housing first model that also employs skill training in the areas of psychiatric, activities of daily living, community integration, economic self-sufficiency and self-development. The goal is to assist these consumers with any presenting issues in a way that will promote health, independent living skills, stable housing and integration in the community. This program has locations in Westmont, Wheaton, and Warrenville, Illinois. There are 3 one bedroom units and 12 two bedroom units housing 49 homeless persons. One hundred percent of our current residents either have their last permanent address in DuPage County or report that their prior residential circumstance was homeless in DuPage County. The individuals served by this program receive a comprehensive treatment package including behavioral health services, wellness services and access to physical health and dental resources as well. All of our clients are encouraged to participate in an integrated care model where all aspects of health are assessed and treated with a team approach. This is an innovative treatment for holistic care of individuals with behavioral healthcare needs who benefit from assistance in managing all aspects of their healthcare needs. The program is supported by HUD dollars and matching funds. Treatment begins with a Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment that determines the client's strengths as well as his/her needs. These needs are then included on the client's treatment plan. The treatment plan is reviewed at least every 6 months in order to best meet the needs of the consumer. In addition to this, the Mental Health Assessment is completed annually so that the client's needs are regularly assessed. The goal of treatment in this program is to assist the client in living as successfully and independently as possibly. This is done by working with residents in the areas of psychiatric and substance abuse related issues, management of medical issues, wellness, and activities of daily living, community integration, economic self-sufficiency and self-development. Common goals include independent management of medications, independent management of health issues, development of wellness activities, development of coping skills, sober living skills, independent living skills, grooming, hygiene and independent management of appointments.

Carol's Place is a permanent supportive housing project for the chronically homeless. In 2014 it was combined with the Crossroads project. It provides 42 chronically homeless units with 50 chronically homeless beds. The project is 100% chronic beds. There are 38 chronically homeless individuals (men and women) with disabilities in 38 scattered site one bedroom units. Four of these beds are designated for chronic veterans. The project also rents 4 two bedroom units for chronically homeless families with an average of 12 beds. Monitoring and coordination of case management support services enables participants to successfully remain in their permanent setting. A housing first and harm reduction approach is used. Linkage and follow-up with appropriate mental health and substance abuse services enhances stable functioning. Enrolling the participants in appropriate mainstream resources builds up the income support base necessary for them to remain in permanent housing successfully. Each participant works toward achieving the maximum income possible based on their level of disability. Some clients are not able to work but all are engaged to participate in employment activities. Employment opportunities are accessed for all participants based on their individual abilities. DuPage PADS offers comprehensive employment services at their Career Solutions Center. This includes individual assessments, employment readiness services, job seeking and job retention strategies, and a computer lab for job searches. The project partners with Jane Addams Resource Center to provide vocational training in manufacturing. The goals of the project are to assist chronically homeless persons to obtain and remain in housing; improve self-sufficiency with the ability to live independently in an apartment in regards to housekeeping, cooking, grocery shopping, and personal hygiene; obtain eligible mainstream benefits and/or obtain earned income; and learn how to structure their day and develop prosocial activities. All participants are assisted in obtaining treatment for disability (mental health, substance abuse, physical). Through the provision of on-going mental health and substance abuse services, case management, and enrollment in mainstream resources; participants improve their ability to function well in the community.

Foundations provides permanent supportive housing to 4 chronically homeless households: both single adult and couples without children with disabilities in four one bedroom apartment units. These persons require ongoing support to maintain stable housing. Each household is in a separate unit. This meets the needs of chronically homeless individuals with disabilities for space, privacy, and community access. Monitoring and coordination of case management support services enables participants to successfully remain in their permanent setting. A housing first and harm reduction approach is used. Linkage and follow-up with appropriate mental health and substance abuse services enhances stable functioning. Enrolling the participants in appropriate mainstream resources builds up the income support base necessary for them to remain in permanent housing successfully. The project serves those that are often not sober, not medication compliant, and those that have been turned away or discharged from other social service agencies. Residents are not required to have income or pay rent unless financially able and this allows the project to serve those that are the hardest to engage and comply with both financial and treatment requirements. Intensive case management is offered to residents and crisis assistance is available twenty four hours a day. All clinical services are evidence based and delivered on a contingency management program. Case management is offered in the client's home and is delivered to all members of the household. In addition to case management social and recreational outings, as well as linkage to mental health and self-esteem groups are offered. Employment / education services are based on individual goal plans and assessments. DuPage PADS offers a comprehensive Employment Services program at their daytime Career Solutions Center. This includes individual assessments, employment readiness services, job seeking and job retention strategies, computer lab for job searches, vocational/career development, etc. All participants are assisted in obtaining and enhancing their level of employment to the best of their abilities. Funds will be used to lease housing units, provide case management and subsidize a portion of operating costs.

Pathways PSH provides permanent supportive housing to 36 chronically homeless single households over a 3 year period. Twelve one bedroom apartment units will be leased each year totaling 36 units. The project will prioritize candidates in accordance with Notice CPD-14-012 through the CoC Coordinated Entry process. The tool that will be used to make this determination will be the CoC standardized assessment tool which is the Vulnerability Index-Service Prioritization and Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT). Those with the highest scores combining length of homelessness, severity of service needs and the VISPDAT score will be candidates. Each household is in a separate apartment to meet the needs for privacy, and community access. The project serves those that are often not sober, not medication compliant, and those that have been turned away or discharged from other housing. All eligible participants will be enrolled in Medicaid. Medicaid resources will be leveraged to pay for the physical health and behavioral health elements without which people often fail to remain in housing. Non Medicaid eligible participants will leverage other mainstream resources. DuPage PADS has established community partnerships with Medicaid providers that assure access to needed healthcare and support services for people experiencing chronic homelessness. Currently 86% of housing clients at DuPage PADS are enrolled in Medicaid. Medicaid providers of services to our clients include: HAS for substance abuse services and the DuPage County Health Dept. for outpatient primary health services and mental and behavioral health services. The other 14% of clients have private insurance, VA, or Medicare benefits. There are 3 Federally Qualified Health Centers located in the county to provide services. In addition to coordinating medical and behavioral health services, case management services are assisting participants in enrolling in appropriate cash income sources and noncash mainstream resources to build up the income support base necessary for them to remain in housing. DuPage PADS offers a comprehensive Employment Services program at their daytime Career Solutions Center. Pathways is a housing first program that operates with a harm reduction philosophy and low barriers. Intensive case management is offered to residents and crisis assistance is available twenty four hours a day. Goals are to maintain housing stability. Cleanliness checks help clients maintain the units.

7 Families (24 beds total) 24 : # of designated chronic beds in this project (0 designated through turnover) 24 : # of designated chronic beds in this project currently filled with persons with a chronic homelessness status The DuPage PADS Stepping Stones Permanent Housing project provides permanent housing in five 2 bedroom apartments and two 3 bedroom apartments to 7 chronically homeless families. The project is 100% chronic with 24 chronically homeless beds. The program offers housing, case management and support services. Monitoring and coordination of case management support services enables participants to successfully remain in their permanent setting. A housing first and harm reduction approach is used. Linkage and follow-up with appropriate mental health and substance abuse services enhances stable functioning. Enrolling the participants in appropriate mainstream resources builds up the income support base necessary for them to remain in permanent housing successfully. The program offers 24 hour crisis intervention, on call case management, community referrals for mental health and basic needs, and on site substance abuse and recovery counseling. Stability ranges among each tenant, but all are able to live independently and without 24 hour medical support. Each family receives their own furnished apartment. The families targeted for this program are those that are difficult to serve or have been asked to leave other housing programs due to non-compliance. The goal is self sufficiency and stable housing. Self-sufficiency is defined as the ability to live independently in an apartment in regard to housekeeping, cooking, grocery shopping, and personal hygiene. The second part of self-sufficiency is employment / education based on individual goal plans and assessments. DuPage PADS offers a comprehensive Employment Services program at their daytime Career Solutions Center. This includes individual assessments, employment readiness services, job seeking and job retention strategies, computer lab for job searches, vocational/career development, etc. All participants are assisted in obtaining and enhancing their level of employment to the best of their abilities. Other program components and linkages include: interpersonal skill development, budget/debt management, creative leisure, household management skills, alcohol/drug treatment linkage, mental health treatment linkage and independent living skills. DuPage PADS identifies veterans at intake to obtain any specialized services available. HUD funds are used to lease housing units, provide support services and subsidize some operating costs.

Freedom Harbour provides housing and support services to 4 chronically homeless single veterans in 4 scattered site one bedroom apartments in DuPage County. This project targets veterans with the highest needs and greatest barriers to obtaining and maintaining housing. Freedom Harbour uses a Housing First, Low Demand model of service with a Harm Reduction component. We do not require sobriety or participation in support service activities. We actively engage participants, meeting them were they are at, encouraging positive behaviors, but do not require participation in services as a condition for housing. Once housing stability is attained, participants are encouraged to take advantage of available case management and support services, if desired, to help increase their level of independence and life skills. Case Management services offer comprehensive assessment of client needs and the development of a mutually agreed upon strengths based plans focused on maximizing financial resources via employment as well as connection to mainstream and veteran specific benefits. Employment services offer comprehensive job-readiness assessment, tailor made action plans to address barriers to employment, as well as job search and job retention assistance. Freedom Harbour uses the CoC Coordinated Entry process as a means for prioritizing those homeless veterans most in need. All project milestones as outlined in our Technical Submission were executed according to schedule, if not well in advance of anticipated timelines. This project was 75% occupied (3/4 units) within 21 days of grant agreement and 100% occupied and operational (4/4 units) within 72 days of grant agreement. All 4 veterans places have maintained stable housing in this project since enrollment. All 4 veterans are connected to VA health care. Future goals will focus on increasing household income through employment, as well as other cash and non-cash benefits.

The project will carry out the collaborative process for the CoC application; will evaluate the outcomes of projects for the CoC and ESG; and assist with preparation of the consolidated plan for the DuPage County Consortium. This project will allow for payment of staff costs and/or costs of professional services to tie together all the processes that now take place into a cohesive unit of processes and information. This will allow for better communication between stakeholders and better needs analysis. This is particularly important given the requirements of 24 CFR 578.7 for consultation with the ESG recipient, evaluation of outcomes, consultation to establish perfomance targets, ongoing implrementation of written standards for assistance, and the coordianted assessement process. 24 CFR 578.39 also requires a community wide process involving coordiantion of stakeholders. Many of these stakeholders do not report into HMIS. This grant will provide the reousrces to engage in such a community wide process.
