“During 2020, oneheart was in the process of completing a remodel of an existing facility. The facility is owned by the city of rapid city and leased to oneheart through a long-term agreement, whereby oneheart will operate a transformation campus. The campus will elevate the human spirit and the spirit of the rapid city community. By providing transitional housing and co-locating a variety of services - from addiction and mental health counseling to life skills and job training - we can more efficiently, effectively and collectively help our neighbors without homes move into permanent housing and a better quality of life. The campus will offer person-centered, trauma-informed, recovery-orientated care; in return, each adult resident will be expected to create an income plan, housing plan and agree to live clean and sober. Our vision is to see all homeless who enter oneheart as thriving citizens of our community within 18 months of entering. Our target market is those individuals and families experiencing poverty, housing insecurity, and homelessness. In addition to transformational housing, we will provide a single homeless management system to minimize duplication of services between nonprofit providers and to decrease the amount of intake time necessary for both service providers and campus guests. Poverty-related nonprofit organizations will co-locate on the campus to provide direct and timely services to program enrollees, creating a single system entry-point for the community. Nonprofit services on campus will include: healthcare, mental health services, case management, childcare, domestic violence assistance, counseling, addiction services, life skills classes, job skills training, and native american cultural development and healing services. Even more services will be involved on a referral-basis, determined by the individual needs of the guest. Through self-directed housing and income plans, guests can receive necessary services and move towards a life of greater stability and self-sufficiency. Oneheart is working towards a common goal with local nonprofits and government services to change the system of opportunity for individuals experiencing poverty and homelessness. Through close collaboration, a significant impact can be made. Our 89 unit facility opened in phases beginning in january 2021, with one tower for men, one tower for women, and one tower for families. Program services in 2020 were focused on developing the specific programmatic aspects in preparation for opening.”
