IRS990/Desc0The Department of Housing and Urban Development has established the Housing First model calling for housing clients first and providing wrap around services. The HUD recommended emphasis remains placing homeless individuals in permanent housing and coordinating access to required services. First Step Communities continues to support this model and endeavors to develop solutions that have practical application. Unfortunately, the gap between secured funding for more affordable housing and the increasing numbers of homeless individuals persists. Our targeted populations, chronically homeless adults, prove to be the least likely to locate housing and services. The overall mission of First Step Communities continues to be to provide shelter and services to this vulnerable population. In doing this, FSC and its collaborative partners will help the target group of individuals as they move through the interim services provided. Our desired outcome remains to prepare this population for rapid rehousing programs that align with the Housing First Model and prioritize a successful transition to permanent housing.Accomplishments in 2020 include:Migrated the North A Street Rehousing Services Program into the North A Street Campus, shelter and services (County of Sacramento DHA contract $1.346M annually), and converted the North A Street Shelter Program into a 24-hour x 365 program. Located in the River District, North A Street provides shelter and services to 40 men and 40 women in a dormitory style shelter. Residents in the shelter are offered individualized case management services by our staff of professional case managers. Utilizing collaboration with Elica Health, WellSpace Health, El Hogar and others, we provide primary healthcare and referrals, mental health assessments and referrals, and dental care. Partnerships with Womens Empowerment and WEAVE provide specialized programs for women and victims of domestic violence. In the last few years several hundred residents have been moved indoors to permanent supportive housing, board and care facilities, shared housing and family reconciliations.Opened The Grove, Emergency Bridge Housing and services for transition age youth (18-24) (Contract with SHRA for 2020-2022 of $2.5M). Located in North Sacramento, The Grove provides shelter and services to transitional age youth (18-24 years of age). At The Grove each resident is assigned a sleeping cabin with heat, AC, and electrical and USB connections. The cabins are designed with efficient levels of insulation and aesthetically appealing finishing inside and out. All the youth are offered case management services and connected with supporting collaborative programs. Educational resources are available through Twin Rivers Adult Ed Programs and Los Rios Community College District as required. To date over 40% of the residents have been permanently housed.Created a new youth-based services program based on intensive case management and collaborative partners in mental health, substance abuse, employment and education.Established ongoing relationships with WEAVE, Young People in Recovery (YPR), Northern CA Construction Training (NCCT), Twin Rivers School District and others to help stabilize, train and house clients.Established in administered a Rapid Rehousing Fund to support youth in rental assistance, move in expenses and ongoing case management support after housing. ($370K fund).Received and ESG grant for $124K for enhanced services at North A Street.First Step Housing (FSC) collaborated with the ULI and AIA to propose several types of interim housing and service communities to the City of Sacramento. FSC worked with these experts from the private sector to ensure that the designs reflected what our experience has shown are necessary components of an interim housing community, including private sleeping, workshop, pet, dining, kitchen and recreation areas. Our designs included requirements for sustainability like access control through gated
