IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that Peter Tulipana , Executive Director of Family Service , Incorporated is authorized to execute such documents as are necessary to enter into the aforementioned agreement and execute subsequent grant documents and covenants. I attest that the above is a true and accurate account of the Resolution approved by Family Service , Incorporated, a Nebraska nonprofit corporation on May 27. 1997. DATED this 27th May . 1997. ma' Mark Pr u er, resident Attest: Sara asters, Secretary y�� F xlmbik' C- Section A. Project Narrative 1. The project purpose: Family Service proposes to provide mental health and substance abuse diagnostic assessments and therapeutic treatment for homeless persons who are mentally ill and/or addicted to alcohol or other substances, filling a serious gap in the Omaha Area Continuum of Care for the Homeless (OACCH). Participants would be referred to Family Service by Community Alliance, a continuum agency providing mobile service which identifies the mentally ill and assists them in finding shelter and services. Two full-time licensed clinical social workers would be available for diagnostic assessment and therapeutic treatment at the designated emergency shelters and/or transitional housing facilities, as well as at Family Service locations. The assessment will include a mental health exam, substance abuse/dependency screening and will conclude with a diagnostic impression for treatment. In addition, the clinical social worker will be available to implement therapeutic treatment. Family Service believes in making its services readily accessible to all families in need of them, thus this proposed service would serve the participants without the participants needing to overcome the obstacle of transportation. Community gap to be filled: A large number of homeless persons have alcohol and drug problems coupled with a mental health diagnosis. The Omaha Area Continuum of Care for the Homeless (OACCH) has identified the lack of adequate resources for this sub-population as a service gap. The number of mentally ill/alcohol and drug dependent participants is consistently high, and existing programs have limited resources for proper diagnosis and treatment of such individuals. Family Service proposes to narrow the community gap by providing easily accessible services at existing shelters or transitional housing facilities without diagnostic and treatment services. With increased accessibility to mental health and substance abuse assessment and treatment,the homeless have a greater chance of success when transitioning to more permanent housing. 2. Homeless population to be served: The homeless population targeted by this project live in emergency shelters and transitional living facilities. Within the homeless population of Omaha, estimated to be a sustained population of between 800 to 1000 individuals,there are an estimated 30%to 50% suffering from mental illness and 40%with chemical addictions. This sub- population of the homeless would,then, be estimated at between 240 and 500 individuals at any given time. Their proportion among the homeless is much higher than the general population, yet the timely diagnosis and intervention of those with either mental illness or chronic substance abuse problems is unlikely to be addressed in the custodial environment of the homeless shelter, meal site, or drop in center. The causes of this problem rest in the mental capabilities of those in need of help and in • the absence of on-site personnel capable of identifying and intervening in the area of persons suffering with mental health and substance abuse difficulties. The confused or delusional state of those in serious need make them incapable of negotiating the sometimes complex process of referral and intervention on their own behalf. Since it is not the mission of on site staff to provide these specialized degrees of service, the population most in need remains underserved and without linkage to those most capable of providing intervention. Aside from the personal impact on the individuals in this population,there is a consequent economic impact resulting from the lack of early intervention. The combined social costs of psychiatric and medical hospitalization, criminal activity and incarceration along with the lack of productivity and self-sustaining capability of this population are tremendous. The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty estimates a national cost of$273 billion annually. In addition to factors discussed above, current barriers to delivery of mental health services to the homeless population may include: transportation, eligibility,hours of operation, cost, and awareness of services, all serving to discourage the target population from accessing available intervention and treatment. Scheduled on-site visits by professional mental health staff would overcome many of these barriers. Any person who meets the definition of a homeless individual and has an indication of a mental or substance disorder can be referred to this program. Community Alliance will provide a referral linkage with Family Service to provide professional on-site visits by' clinical social workers at area homeless centers for the purpose of better serving this target population. Emergency shelters and transitional living facilities will also be able to refer participants to this program. 3. The housing where participants will reside: Omaha area emergency shelters and transitional living facilities already in operation will provide housing for participants. (a.) Initially,the following facilities will be targeted for receiving the mental health and substance abuse services of this project: St. Vincent's Shelter, Lydia House, The Open Door Mission, and Safe Haven. Each facility varies in the style of construction, capacity and organization. Some structures house 80 to 150 individuals in large, dormitory-style rooms while other smaller structures house 7 units, with each unit occupied by a separate family. (b.)The facilities provide the participants with their most basic needs, which may include but are not limited to food,shelter,safety, and clothing. (c&d.) The various locations of the shelters will increase the accessibility of services to the community, including those persons with disabilities. All emergency shelters are accessible to persons with disabilities,and all but two are located within walking distance of public transportation and/or community amenities. (The two shelters located at some distance from public transportation,Open Door Mission and Lydia House, run their own bus service back and forth daily to the downtown Omaha area.). 411, v -t /04 • (e.) Resident safety at these shelters is provided by a range of precautions, from 24 hour staff at the men's shelters (Open Door Mission) to intercom-controlled, limited access structures with locks for each of the individual units (the women's shelters) to facilities whose location is kept confidential (the domestic violence shelters). (f.) As members of OACCH, all shelters are expected to attend monthly meetings where the opportunity to network with housing and support service providers aids them in their ongoing effort both to promote self-sufficiency and to secure permanent housing for participants. Family Service proposes to strengthen self-sufficiency by providing ongoing mental health and substance abuse treatment as part of the individualized plan to address housing needs for program participants. Participants will be helped to learn skills to manage their mental illness and/or substance abuse in order to be successful in accessing and maintaining permanent housing. 4. The supportive services the project participants will receive: Needs Assessment and Tracking: As noted, referrals for this program will come from Community Alliance, emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities in the community. All referral sources currently identify and track the service and housing needs of participants through the ANCHoR system within OACCH. Family Service will coordinate and implement ANCHoR for participants involved in this program. The supportive services Family Service proposes to provide will extend the outreach, referral, and case management of Community Alliance to include diagnostic assessment and therapeutic treatment of mental and substance disorders. Clinical Assessment: The need for mental health and substance abuse services for the homeless is well documented and viewed as a key component to maintaining stability and self-sufficiency. The proposed services will reach a segment of the homeless population that is currently underserved.With the staffing of two full-time licensed clinical social workers, Family Service will be able to conduct a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, including chemical dependency screening, and provide a diagnostic impression for therapeutic treatment for at least 200 participants each year. Although this will not meet the total need for mental health and substance abuse services, it will begin to fill the gap. Since clinicians will be able to serve participants at their current place of housing, whether an emergency shelter or transitional living facility,these services will be more accessible to the homeless. Clinical Treatment: Two licensed clinical social workers will each carry a caseload of twenty-five participants at any given time, providing therapeutic treatment for 200 clients each year. The clinicians would be available to provide individual,couples, group and family therapy. The mental health and substance abuse services provided by Family Service would adhere to the agency's philosophy of clinical delivery, which is defined as a systems approach integrated with a bio/psycho/social model. The combination of these two models of treatment and intervention assists Family Service in being practical about how to help people, and it allows for a client focus, using existing resources (family, friends, and community), and building on the constructive exceptions to problems. 7/,, Ib5 The professional staff hired for this program would be required to be credentialed, masters level, licensed clinical social workers cross-trained in mental health and addictions treatment. As a member of the professional counseling staff at Family Service, the clinical social workers for this program would have regular supervision which includes individual, group, and peer review, as well as monthly training. Linkage to Mental Health Services in the Community: A vital function of this program will be to maintain a treatment-focused linkage to mental health services in the community, such as addiction recovery groups. The clinical social worker will be able to coordinate the treatment plan with a psychiatrist, as well as coordinate chemical dependency services. The clinician will be vital to assuring a total continuity of care that is committed to increased stability and self-sufficiency of the participants. Accessibility to Services: The two full-time clinical social workers will be mobile and able to provide assessment and treatment on-site or in the Family service office locations. The accessibility of these services to the participants' housing is ideal, in that the clinical social worker will be able to serve the participants at their current place of housing, whether that be an emergency shelter or transitional living facility. 5. Whether the project is innovative: Not Applicable 6. The performance measures: The overall goal of this program is to improve the quality of life for the homeless suffering from mental and substance disorders in order to obtain and remain in permanent housing. The performance measures for this program are: • Eighty percent of clients will be able to demonstrate an increased awareness of the factors that contribute to the mental or substance disorder after four sessions of treatment; measured by the administration of a symptom checklist(pre, during,and post). • Eighty percent of clients will experience a decrease in problematic symptoms within the first 45 days of intervention;measured by the administration of a symptom checklist(pre, during, and post). • • Sixty percent of clients will demonstrate integrated awareness and problem solving skills after six months of treatment; measured by client self-report. "">>711 10l0 • The success of this program will require that information regarding service provision be organized and easily accessible so that clinical and management decisions, including continuous quality improvement and client outcome measures can be tracked and evaluated. Family Service has implemented a software package (ECHO)to manage information related to service delivery, clinical treatment planning, outcomes,and accounting. The clinical social workers in this program will have full access and the support of this software, and will be able to collect data to track the performance measures. Reports will be generated to the Clinical Director and District Regional Manager on a monthly basis, and quarterly reports will be submitted to the board of directors. This will be coordinated with the ANCHoR system. Section B. Experience Narrative Family Service is a nonprofit, nonsectarian social work agency founded in 1875,and accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children,Inc. (COA). The mission of the agency is to strengthen the well-being of families in the community through education, counseling and support. The comprehensive programs at Family Service consider not only the individual,but also his or her relationship with the family, school, job, and community. Family Service helps individuals and families through the following major programs: • Professional Counseling • Child Care Provider Services • Addictions Treatment for Alcoholism,Drug Abuse and Compulsive Gambling • Emergency Services for the Low-Income • Parenting Classes and Seminars,Family Issue Presentations • Divorce and Remarriage Seminars, including a unique family divorce workshop • Corporate Benefits for Working Parents/Lunch`n Learn Seminars • Domestic Abuse Information,Intervention and Support/Safe Haven Shelter • Senior Center • Youth Crime Intervention • Child Welfare Services • Family Service serves all ages, from babies in child care to seniors in the senior center. Programs include emergency services, counseling and enrichment services to families of all income levels in the Omaha metro area. Eleven office/service locations are available to make it for convenient for clients to receive the help they need. { 1b7 Last year, Family Service provided services to nearly 19,000 persons in the Omaha metro • area. The leadership and support Family Service provides to the families,professionals and businesses of the metro area is woven into the fabric of the community. The future depends on strong families--and families grow stronger at Family Service. With the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill,increased substance abuse, increased family violence, and a tightening economic market for the unskilled,more and more families are facing the threat of homelessness. As this need has been identified in the Omaha metro area, Family Service has responded by providing services and programs that meet the needs of homeless or near homeless individuals and families. In 1997 emergency services were provided to 1,322 individuals in the three county continuum of care area. These services included securing utilities, food, clothing, housing, health care, and emergency transportation. In the same year Family Service received 4,875 crisis calls in the domestic abuse program. In addition to assisting clients with intervention services, such as protection orders and medical emergencies,the Safe Haven Domestic Abuse program provides safe and secure housing for domestic abuse clients in the three county area. In response to the mental health and substance abuse needs of the community,Family Service provided professional counseling at five locations, serving 2,027 individuals,and 1,716 families. In addition to counseling, Family Service provided specialized treatment for chemical dependency to 961 individuals, and facilitated 550 groups related to chemical dependency.Family Service is very experienced in managing treatment of , clients with mental health and substance abuse issues. All professional staff are credentialed, masters level, licensed mental health professionals and/or certified alcohol and drug addiction counselors(CADAC). Family Service has a demonstrated ability to provide highly professional clinical services, community-based services, and to partner with other organizations to meet a community need. Family Service has also demonstrated a clear history of providing services to the homeless or near homeless populations. Family Service also has a proven track record of designing and delivering professional services and programs under contractual arrangements with various government and other public-supported agencies. 0 Y • to be served and the housing and services to be provided. HUD recognizes that goal attainment may be limited; therefore, it will not necessarily consider low levels of achievement as indications of poor • performance. The following are examples of performance measures as they relate to the three SHP goals: • - • 70% of participants will remain in permanent housing for at least one year. • 50% of project participants will be successful in obtaining employment within 18 months. • • 20% of the severely mentally ill participants in the Safe Haven will start to receive mental health treatment voluntarily within six months.
