MEAL PROVIDED ON WALK UP BASIS. SOURCING: PEOPLE ARE REFERRED BY HOSPITALS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, JAILS, COURTS, HOMELESS AND RECOVERY AGENCIES, BUSINESSES AND PUBLIC AGENCIES/FACILITIES REFER INDIVIDUALS TO THE PROGRAM. AHH STAFF, MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN HOMELESS, ARE WELL KNOWN TO THE TARGET POPULATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE URBAN CORE. QUALIFICATION FOR SERVICE: DETERMINATION VARIES BY THE TYPE OF SERVICE. GENERALLY, THE REFERRAL SOURCES HAVE DETERMINED THE INDIVIDUAL IS HOMELESS, A PREREQUISITE FOR SERVICE. GAP SERVICES AND MEALS ARE PROVIDED TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BOTH REFERRED (SHELTERS, POLICE, ETC) AND DIRECTLY REQUESTED SERVICE. IN MOST CASES, INTAKE FORMS ARE NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE QUALIFICATION FOR SERVICES IS APPARENT FROM THE SOURCE, NEED AND/OR PERSON'S APPEARANCE. QUESTIONS RELATED TO BEING HOMELESS ARE USED TO SCREEN PHONE REQUESTS. AN INTAKE FORM IS PREPARED FOR INDIVIDUALS REFERRED FOR DISCHARGE PLANNING AND RESIDENTIAL RECOVERY SERVICES. GENERALLY, REFERRING CASE WORKERS COMMUNICATE WITH AHH STAFF PRIOR TO STAFF CONDUCTING A NEEDS ASSESSMENT BEING DONE, USUALLY AT THE REFERRING AGENCY. AHH IS UNIQUE IN BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH PEOPLE AS THEY PROGRESS FROM AGENCY TO AGENCY. ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND WITHOUT REGARD TO SEX, AGE, RACE, RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION, VETERAN STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC FACTOR. THE PRIMARY REASONS FOR NOT PROVIDING SERVICE ARE (1) THE REQUESTED EXCEEDS AHH CAPACITY/TYPE OF SERVICE/TIME IS ALREADY COMMITTED, (2) THE PERSON IS NOT HOMELESS OR IN THE SERVICE AREA (GREATER KANSAS CITY METROPOLITAN AREA OR DOUGLAS COUNTY), (3) A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE INDIVIDUAL OR AHH STAFF. MONITORING USE OF FUNDS: AHH PROVIDES SERVICES OR GOODS TO THOSE IN NEED. AHH DOES NOT PROVIDE CASH, REFUNDABLE TRANSPORTATION TICKETS OR REPLACE GOODS OR SERVICES PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED BEFORE A REASONABLE TIME OF USE HAS ELAPSED. GAP SERVICES TEND TO INVOLVE ONE OR TWO INTERACTIONS TO ADDRESS A SPECIFIC NEED (A RIDE, FOOD, ETC). DISCHARGE PLANNING AND RESIDENTIAL RECOVERY SERVICES MAY INVOLVE A REFERRAL AND TRANSPORTATION OR COULD RESULT IN HOUSING WITH A WIDE RANGE OF INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED WRAP-AROUND SERVICES TO MEET BROADER INDIVIDUAL OR SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES. AHH'S LONGITUDINAL APPROACH ALLOWS IT TO MONITOR INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS AND OUTCOMES. AHH'S COLLABORATIVE APPROACH INVOLVES REFERRING AND OTHER SERVICES IN DETERMINING NEEDED SERVICES. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 AHH WORKS TOWARDS ITS MISSION BY FINDING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO INDIVIDUAL AND SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES FACING AREA HOMELESS AND AGENCIES THAT SERVE THEM. A UNIQUE LONGITUDINAL APPROACH THAT FOLLOWS PEOPLE AS THEY PROGRESS FROM AGENCY TO AGENCY IMPROVES COMMUNICATION, COORDINATION, AND CLIENT ENGAGEMENT. IT ALSO ALLOWS AHH TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO SERVICE AND TO FILL GAPS THAT MAY ARISE SO PEOPLE DO NOT FALL IN AND OUT OF SERVICE. AS A RESULT, AHH HAS BEEN CALLED "THE SAFETY NET FOR THAT SAFETY NET". AHH SERVICES FALL INTO 3 CATEROGIES 1) GAP SERVICES ARE TYPICALLY 1 OR 2-TIME EVENTS, SUCH AS PROVIDING RIDES TO/FROM A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR FAMILY SHELTER TO A MEDICAL, LEGAL OR HOUSING APPOINTMENT, ASSISTING A STRANDED TRAVELER OR MEETING AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR RENT SUPPORT. 2) DISCHARGE PLANNING ASSISTS HOSPITALS, JAILS, HOMELESS AND RECOVERY AGENCIES AND OTHERS IN CREATING AND EXECUTING PLANS FOR PATIENTS, INMATES AND RESIDENTS BEING RELEASED. AHH IS UNIQUE IN TRANSPORTING PEOPLE TO A NEW PLACEMENT AND ASSURING ADMISSION WITH A WARM HANDOFF. THE LATTER MAY INVOLVE ASSISTANCE WITH IDS, PRESCRIPTIONS, CLOTHING OR RENT. AGENCIES CALL UPON AHH BECAUSE IT WORKS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY AND IS AWARE OF SAFETY NET AGENCIES' CAPACITY, CAPABILITIES, AND REQUIREMENTS. 3) RESIDENTIAL RECOVERY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AT THREE RESPITE HOUSES AND TWO TRANSITIONAL LIVING FACILITIES LOCATED IN KANSAS CITY (MO), OVERLAND PARK AND DOUGLAS COUNTY (KS). AHH INTRODUCED THE REPSITE HOUSE LOCALLY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO RETURNING TO THE STREET FOR UNHOUSED MEN THAT HAD COMPLETED DETOX BUT WERE WAITLISTED FOR TREATMENT OR HOUSING. WHILE THEY WAITED AT THE RESPITE HOUSE, THEY MAINTAINED MOMENTUM BY ADDRESSING CO-EXISTING ISSUES. THIS PROVED PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE FOR YOUNG ADULT MALES WHOSE BEHAVIOR HAD ALIENATED THEM FROM FAMILIES AND THE AGENCIES THAT COULD HELP THEM. THE CONCEPT WAS REPLICATED IN DOUGLAS COUNTY (KANSAS) WHERE IT HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE WITH RE-ENTRY POPULATIONS. AHH IS ALSO UNIQUE BY STARTING WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AND DRAWING UPON A WIDE NETWORK OF PROVIDERS TO TAILOR A DIVERSE MENU OF SERVICES TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT LED TO OR RESULTED FROM BEING HOMELESS. THIS COLLABORATIVE APPROACH ALLOWS AHH TO MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE, OFTEN IN FACILITIES OF COLLABORATING AGENCIES. BY REMOVING BARRIERS AND IMPROVING EFFICIIENCY OF THE LOCAL SAFETY NET, AHH HELPS INDIVIDUALS, ONE PERSON AT A TIME; IMPROVES TREATMENT AND REDUCES RECIDIVISM FOR SAFETY NET PROVIDERS. OUR COMMUNITIES BENEFIT WHEN FORMERLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS REALIZE STABLE JOBS, HOUSING AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE VERY SERVICES THEY ONCE RELIED UPON. AHH'S GOAL IS FOR PEOPLE TO THRIVE, NOT MERELY SURVIVE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 IN MARCH 2022, AHH OPENED CONCORD HOUSE, A REPSITE HOUSE TO SERVE MEN THAT RESIDE, WORK OR ATTEND SCHOOL IN JOHNSON COUNTY (KS). CONCORD HOUSE HAS A CAPACTIY OF SEVEN. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 DEAN KATERNDAHL, VICE CHAIR; MARCIA KATERNDAHL, DIRECTOR ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE. KAR WOO, PRESIDENT; RUSS TOWNSLEY, DIRECTOR ARE BUSINESS PARTNERS THAT DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ARTISTS HELPING HOMELESS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE AGENCY ADMINISTRATOR AND INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM PREPARE AND REVIEW THE FORM 990. THE RESULTING FORM WITH ALL REQUIRED SCHEDULES IS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING. ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OF BOARD MEMBERS ARE ADDRESSED WITH ANY NECESSARY CORRECTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS MADE. THE FORM 990 IS THEN REDISTRIBUTED TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND, WITH THEIR APPROVAL, FILED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WHICH APPLIES TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS IS ANNUALLY DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD. THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS, SIGNED BY EACH BOARD MEMBER AND OFFICER, ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD CHAIR AND TREASURER TO DETERMINE IF A CONFLICT OF INTERESTS EXISTS. IF ANY CONFLICTS ARE IDENTIFIED, THE CONFLICTED INDIVIDUAL MUST RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM BOARD MEETINGS DURING THE DISCUSSION OF RELATED TOPICS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRESIDENT/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD AND HIS SALARY IS SET. ADJUSTMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED BASED UPON PERFORMANCE AND LOCAL INDUSTRY SALARY SURVEYS, APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING. IN 2020, THE PRESIDENT/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S SALARY WAS INCREASED, THE FIRST ADJUSTMENT SINCE THE AGENCY WAS FOUNDED (2008). FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
