In 2022, over 2,500 volunteers gave their time in support of our mission across our five locations.We measure our success in direct relation to our mission statement of providing Safe Shelter, Stable Housing, Nutritious Food, and a Path Toward Healing for our neighbors in need. In terms of safe shelter and stable housing, we track the number of guests who stay at our two shelters and tenants at our permanent supportive housing apartment according to their demographic information (age, gender, race, chronic health conditions, where they have stayed previously, and other HMIS information), as well as the number of guests who return to our shelter after being placed in stable housing. We keep a cumulative count of the number of nights guests sleep in a safe bed at our shelters over the course of a year. Being able to shelter more guests shows our success in helping the community. As it relates to nutritious food, we record the total number of households served, the number of unique visitors to our pantries, the number of pounds of food distributed, and demographic information about our pantry visitors. Providing more meals to our guests and community is a measure of our success. As regards a path toward healing, we record the number of client appointments with our shelter nurses. Qualitatively, every guest at our shelters receives comprehensive case management. We document all the meetings, keeping detailed case notes about each household, their goals, and the steps they are taking to reach these goals. Additionally, we measure our community support by recording the number of volunteers, the number of hours served, and the number of organizations and faith communities who support our work. Bringing health care to those who need it is an additional measure of our success.We excel at providing comprehensive care for community members who are experiencing housing insecurity in all stages of their transition from homelessness into permanent stable housing.
