“Coordination of services weber human services paag works closely with weber human services, providing socialization opportunities, work approximation activities, and housing to spmi clients. We operate a drop-in center (dic) weekdays from 8:00 a.m. To 6:00 p.m. Paag representatives and whs case management staff meet weekly to discuss clients' housing needs and the availability of living arrangements suitable to individuals. Homeless coordinating council paag is actively engaged in ongoing efforts of the local homeless coordinating council to end homelessness for all weber county residents, including those seriously and persistently mentally ill individuals who are homeless by virtue of their odd, erratic, and often destructive behavior. Meeting the housing needs of those tenants requires close cooperation of several helping agencies in the community. A compatible landlord is a critical factor in meeting the need, and paag is the only local agency committed to helping spmi individuals to integrate into housing in the larger community. Mental health court paag is an essential partner with the mental health court, often able to provide housing for tenants who carry the stigma of criminal conviction as well as active mental illness. While the numbers vary according to the numbers involved in the mental health court at any given time, paag generally, counts three or four mental health court participants among our tenants and in our dic. Church welfare/humanitarian efforts paag is grateful for the ongoing support of the ogden regional latter-day saints bishops' storehouse and deseret industries facility, as well as the ogden griffin memorial church of god in christ. Paag's lunch and dinner program at the dic (17,998 meals this year) could not continue without the donations from these agencies, to say nothing of the numbers fed at thanksgiving, christmas, and the june breakfast in the park. Similarly, our trading post where consumers can redeem behavioral tokens for personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, and food are dependent upon humanitarian services of the lds church. Social work field training paag continues to work with the under-graduate social work department at weber state university and brigham young university to provide field experience and training to social work students. While this field training experience is integral to the development of social work skills in the students involved, they in turn help to meet the need for case management and life coaching for our chronically mentally ill consumers. Drop-in center we were forced to shut down the drop-in center to comply with safety regulations set by the health department. In the past year, ninety-two persons have participated in the drop-in center. This number represents a mobile, changing population. Many are "street people- and "couch surfers" who drift from one temporary residence to another, be it the local shelters, "flophouses", "drug houses", or friends- or relatives' houses. Some are in and out of local hospitals or jails. A small number come and go from the prison. Ogden is located on one of the "migratory patterns" for many people. The inflow comes from denver to ogden or salt lake, then to seattle or to san francisco/los angeles. Thus, some of our clientele seem to show up more or less seasonally. On the average, there were 42 people daily at the drop-in center during our first quarter of 2020. Housing occupancy in paag housing in 2020 averaged 82%. While there may be several reasons for that drop, we believe the main reason stems from our very limited resources for maintenance and repair. All of our facilities are old and some are in constant need of repair and/or upgrading, due in part to the rough usage of some of our tenants. The long and the short of it is that we do not have funds to upgrade all the facilities to the extent we would like. Many of the buildings we use are conjointly owned by the olene walker housing loan fund who carry the mortgage”

“The organization has engaged a cpa firm to perform its single audit and this is in-progress. Due to the pandemic, the single audit deadline was extended further than the form 990 extended deadline. Therefore, we were required to file a 990 based on unaudited information in order to meet the 990 deadline. When the single audit is complete, we will amend the 990 to be in agreement with the audit.”
