Don't
Spend A Dime!
      
Saving your small change can mean
BIG change in the lives of the homeless!
Help us change lives by
collecting your dimes and small change at home, in your
classroom or at the office! Placing a collection jar where
people will see it is an easy way to help the homeless with your
family, students or co-workers!
Bring your dime collection to CP - 1149 Railroad Avenue
or give us a call and we'll pick it up! |

Program Spotlight . . .
Permanent Supportive Housing for the Chronically Homeless
PROGRAM:
The Permanent Supportive Housing program provides housing for adults who
have struggled in the past with maintaining housing and are in need of a
supportive living arrangement. The program is designed to keep
individuals in housing while working on their life-recovery goals.
TARGET POPULATION:
(12) Adults who meet the HUD
definition of chronically homeless: homeless for one-year continuously
or have had four episodes of homelessness in the past three years, not
have custody of dependent children, and have a disability. Disabilities
include mental, physical, developmental, and addictions.
LENGTH OF STAY:
The length of stay is unlimited
and restricted only by a participant’s compliance with program
guidelines.

CASE MANAGEMENT
SERVICES INCLUDE: The guidance
and support of a case manager, accountability, community networking,
life-skills development, career guidance, employment services, substance
abuse counseling, medical and mental health referrals, transportation,
transitional housing, permanent housing assistance, and linkages to
government and community agencies. Personal growth is encouraged
and supported in all areas of life including: physical, mental,
emotional, financial, educational, social and spiritual.
STAFF: One case manager is assigned to the Permanent Supportive
Housing program participants. She maintains regular contact with
participants, monitors their progress, adjusts their Life Recovery Plans
as needed, and coordinates the community support services needed to
achieve their goals. A registered nurse, certified drug and alcohol
counselor, mental health worker and Global Career Development
facilitator on staff at Carpenter’s Place are also available to assist
program participants. To learn more about this and other programs, please feel free to contact
