“Umom has 54 years of experience serving the homeless population in the phoenix metropolitan area including 27 years of experience operating a full-service emergency shelter. As the largest provider of homeless services for families in arizona, umom effectively leverages its 15 programs spanning coordinated entry, shelter, housing, and supportive services to holistically serve the most vulnerable individuals and families in a coordinated and efficient manner. Umom believes in providing the complete services needed to address the barriers of each client we serve. We know that employment, medical, and childcare needs top the list of critical support services necessary to promoting self-sufficiency and long-term well-being. Umom operates a nationally accredited childcare center co-located within our shelter that served over 400 children in the last two years. Umom's workforce development team assists clients with meeting their employment goals by conducting job training and job placement activities geared toward gaining and retaining employment. Umom has assisted over 700 in shelter clients obtain employment over the last two years. Umom's clients have often operated in "survival mode" for weeks or longer before entering our programs; thus, their stress levels are high, resulting negatively on their overall health and wellbeing. Umom operates a wellness clinic at our shelter to provide direct medical, mental health and substance abuse services on-site. Umom is committed to continuous improvement through innovation in our program designs. One example of this is homegrown training which is a food service training program that delivers 6 weeks of hands-on kitchen and barista training in umom's own social enterprise caf and residential dining facilities under the guidance of chef instructors, expert staff members, and homegrown program graduates. The ultimate goal of our homegrown training program is to avoid future homelessness. Umom provides several services targeted at serving youth experiencing homelessness including street outreach, crisis shelter, and a transitional living program. Street outreach is one of the main ways that umom makes initial contact with homeless youth, making them aware of the services that are available and assisting them with leaving the streets. Umom's crisis shelter, open hands, offers brief residential services for homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth ages 12-17 in a structured and home-like atmosphere. The primary aim of this program is to provide a safe and stable environment for children with case plan goals of reunifying, restoring, and building healthier family/social relationships. Umom operates two sites of transitional living programs that offers safe and stable housing solutions in a positive and healthy community for clients who have often experienced neglect, abuse, and other traumatic events. The semi-independent structure of this program allows clients to develop and practice independent living skills in an apartment setting with the support of 24-hour staff. Umom is also the safe place partner for maricopa county which is a national youth outreach program that educates young people every year about the dangers of running away or trying to resolve difficult, threatening situations on their own. Safe place is an outreach and prevention program for young people ages 12-17 in need of immediate help and safety.”
