HOUSING NAVIGATION PROGRAM OFFERS PERSON-CENTERED SUPPORT TO OUR VENDORS, FROM OBTAINING IDENTIFICATION AND LIFE-LINE PHONES, TO FINDING AND FURNISHING AN APARTMENT, OUR APPROACH IS TESTED ON THE GROUND EVERY SINGLE DAY AND IS ALSO BACKED UP BY ROBUST LONGITUDINAL RESEARCH ACROSS COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE. THE HOUSING FIRST MODE HAS SHOWN PROMISING RESULTS IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND CHANGING THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF UNHOUSED PERSONS. HOWEVER, THE CONTRIBUTOR'S MODEL PROVIDES A CRUCIAL MISSING PIECE: CONSISTENT, REGULAR CONTACT AND SMALL-SCALE AID TO ITS CONSTITUENTS, COMBINED WITH ACTUAL INCOME TO SECURE INTERIM HOUSING AND NECESSITIES. RESEARCH SHOWS OF ALL VENDORS WHO SELL THE CONTRIBUTOR FOR SIX MONTHS OR MORE, OVER SEVENTY PERCENT TRANSITION INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. 101964 59807 WE PRINT A BI-WEEKLY, HYPERLOCAL NEWSPAPER THAT CHALLENGES STEREOTYPES SURROUNDING HOMELESSNESS AND TELLS THE STORIES OF OUR CONTRIBUTOR VENDORS. PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS RECEIVE TRAINING AND CREATE THEIR OWN MICRO-BUSINESS BY PURCHASING COPIES OF THE PAPER AND SELLING THEM TO THE PUBLIC. CONTRIBUTOR VENDORS RECEIVE A STARTER PACK THAT ALLOWS THEM TO BEGIN SAFELY SELLING PAPERS IMMEDIATELY, AND A BUS PASS TO RETURN. NOT ONLY DOES THIS INCOME ENCOURAGE DIGNITY AND SELF-ESTEEM AMONG CONTRIBUTOR VENDORS, IT'S ALSO OFTEN THE CRUCIAL LIFELINE BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN NIGHTS ON THE STREETS AND SIGNING THE LEASE ON A HOME TO CALL ONE'S OWN. UNLIKE PANHANDLING, A VENDOR'S PAPER PURCHASES ARE TRACKED IN OUR DATABASE AND CAN BE USED FOR SUBSIDIZED AND TRADITIONAL HOUSING APPLICATIONS. 1097593 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 20 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false true true false false TN X X CATHY JENNINGS 6154996829 PO BOX 332023 NASHVILLE TN 37203 WILL CONNELLY PART YEAR EX 40.00 X 8308 0 0 CATHY JENNINGS BOARD MBR/FI 40.00 X X 64568 0 7987 TOM WILLS BOARD MEMBER 40.00 X 39032 0 7387 KERRY GRAHAM CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AMBER DUVENTRE CHAIR ELECT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE DOEG SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DEMETRIA KALODIMOS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEROME MOORE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 O WADE NELSON JR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WADDELL WRIGHT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBIN KIMBROUGH-HAYES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM SHULMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DREW MORRIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 111908 15374 false false false 13803 955005 243306 1212114 NEWSPAPER SALES 511110 59807 59807 59807 10769 10769 3732 3732 3732 3732 6975 13803 9082 -2107 -2107 1284315 59807 12394 250 250 153001 153001 127281 123997 1642 1642 503622 490628 6497 6497 17514 17062 226 226 56331 54877 727 727 48541 47289 626 626 1793 401 1392 35443 7925 27518 10723 2398 8325 13093 13093 38214 21050 17164 13175 13175 14973 14587 193 193 4431 3092 1339 1496 1496 5416 5416 NEWSPAPER COSTS 101964 101964 RESOURCE GUIDE 42687 42687 VENDOR PROGRAM GEAR 14247 14247 PAYROLL PROCESSING FEES 1609 1567 21 21 571 571 1206375 1097593 85757 23025 521679 639491 233532 221041 11999 10028 3102 1971 4149 35243 762462 897746 2708 28036 32016 2708 60052 X 759754 837694 759754 837694 762462 897746 77940 X false true X true false X 242051 367268 751914 1189342 1212114 3762689 119012 66141 94986 60141 59807 400087 361063 433409 846900 1249483 1271921 4162776 23898 23898 23898 23898 4138878 14501 14501 14501 14501 361063 433409 846900 1249483 1286422 4177277 0.99080 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10464 8493 1971 1535 1535 1971 LEASE LIABILITIES 32016 32016 1293397 9082 9082 1284315 1284315 1215457 9082 9082 1206375 1206375 SCHEDULE D, PAGE 4, PART XI, LINE 2D FUNDRAISING EVENT EXPENSES NETTED AGAINST REVENUE PER 990 9,082 SCHEDULE D, PAGE 4, PART XII, LINE 2D FUNDRAISING EVENT EXPENSES NETTED AGAINST REVENUE PER 990 9,082 MASQUERADE 15727 8752 6975 6971 1520 CONTRIBUTOR BRE 5051 5051 73 518 20778 13803 6975 73 6971 1520 518 9082 -2107 true HOUSING STABILITY 124 90215 BUS PASSES 311 21040 GEAR & IDENTIFICATION 249 41746 SCHEDULE I, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 2 THE CONTRIBUTOR UTILIZES METRO NASHVILLE'S HMIS (HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS) AND CE (COORDINATED ENTRY) DATABASE MONITORED BY THE OFFICE OF HOMELESS SERVICES AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH HUD GUIDELINES, WITH OVERSIGHT FROM OHS AND MDHA TO SUBSTANTIATE THE AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE AND SELECTION CRITERIA TO MONITOR HOUSING AWARDS.
