GUIDING PRINCIPLES: WE SERVE WOMEN, CHILDREN AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING POVERTY OR HOMELESSNESS. WE BELIEVE IN HOPE AS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE AGENT AND HOLD THAT HOPE FOR EVERYONE. WE BELIEVE DEEPLY IN THE POWER OF COMMUNITY AND CONTINUE WORKING DEVELOP IT. OUR KEY VALUES INCLUDE RECOGNIZING INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS, BUILDING RESPECT AND TRUST, AND OFFERING ACCEPTANCE UNCONDITIONALLY. INSTEAD OF CLIENT, TGP USES THE TERM MEMBER TO REFER TO THE PEOPLE WHO SEEK OUT AND BENEFIT FROM OUT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. FORM 990, PART III 4A: MEET BASIC NEEDS: RESOURCE ADVOCATES ON THE COMMUNITY ACCESS TEAM (CAT) RESPOND TO MEMBERS' IMMEDIATE NEEDS WITH SERVICES THAT INCLUDE SHOWERS, LAUNDRY, NAPS, MAIL SERVICE, LOCKER STORAGE, TELEPHONE ACCESS, AND AN EXTENSIVE ARRAY OF RESOURCES AND REFERRALS. SIMILAR TO THE CAT RESPONSE, TGP'S FAMILY PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPPORT TO FAMILIES IN A SAFE, NURTURING, AND DEVELOPMENTALLY RICH ENVIRONMENT AND THE TEAM IS AVAILABLE TO CARE FOR CHILDREN WHILE MOTHERS/GUARDIANS UTILIZE OR PARTICIPATE IN OTHER TGP SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. IN OUR COMMUNITY DINING ROOM, THE FOOD SERVICES PROGRAM SERVES FRESHLY PREPARED MEALS (BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND EARLY DINNER) THAT INCLUDE HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS OPTIONS, WHICH ACCOMMODATE MOST DIETARY NEEDS AND PREFERENCES. FOR EXAMPLE, VEGETARIAN OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR MEALS. OUR FOOD PANTRIES (BETSY'S CUPBOARD AND FAMILY PROGRAM) PROVIDE HEALTHY GROCERIES, BABY FOOD/FORMULA, TOILETRIES, AND DIAPERS. BRIDGET'S BOUTIQUE, TGP'S CLOTHING BANK, DISTRIBUTES CLOTHING TO MEMBERS WHO HAVE AN EMERGENCY NEED FOR REPLACEMENT CLOTHES OR NEED CLOTHES FOR EMPLOYMENT REASONS. TGP WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER AND OTHER SHELTER- PROVIDING AGENCIES TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE A NEW, 24/7 AUXILIARY SHELTER FOR WOMEN AND TRANSGENDER ADULTS AT THE DENVER COLISEUM, WHICH OPENED APRIL 20, 2020. ON AUGUST 4, 2020, GUESTS WERE MOVED FROM THIS SHELTER TO A FORMER MOTEL PROPERTY OWNED BY DENVER HOUSING AUTHORITY. TGP IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OPERATING DAYTIME SERVICES AT THE MOTEL SHELTER LOCATION, AND CONTINUED TO PROVIDE DAYTIME STAFFING AND SERVICES AT THIS FACILITY THROUGH THE END OF 2022. 4B: SUPPORTING STABILITY: TGP'S EDUCATION AND JOB READINESS PROGRAM HELPS MEMBERS REACH THEIR GOALS, ADVANCE THEIR EDUCATION, IMPROVE THEIR EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL, AND INCREASE THEIR INCOME. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADULT MEMBERS AT TGP INCLUDE HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY PROGRAM, SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CLASSES, AND WRITERS GROUP. IN AUGUST 2020, THE HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY PROGRAM PROVIDED IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF DENVER'S FOUNDATION SKILLS INSTITUTE ENDED. JOB READINESS OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE JOB SEARCH ASSISTANCE, ONSITE JOB FAIRS, AND PRIVATE APPOINTMENTS. JOB SEARCH ASSISTANCE SESSIONS, HELD TWICE PER WEEK, INCLUDE DEDICATED TIME IN THE COMPUTER LAB TO COMPLETE ONLINE JOB APPLICATIONS, HELP FROM VOLUNTEERS ON RESUME AND COVER LETTER BUILDING, AND ASSISTANCE WITH CONDUCTING ONLINE JOB SEARCHES. AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, A JOB FAIR IS HOSTED ONSITE AND CAN EITHER BE A PRACTICE EVENT WITH HUMAN RESOURCE VOLUNTEERS OR AN ACTUAL HIRING FAIR WITH AN EMPLOYER. PRIVATE APPOINTMENTS WITH THE JOB READINESS PROGRAM MANAGER ALSO PROVIDE MEMBERS A CHANCE TO DISCUSS THEIR JOB OR EDUCATION RELATED NEEDS AND GET REFERRALS, ASSISTANCE, AND ADVICE. TGP'S COMPUTER LAB PROVIDES ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING INTERNET ACCESS, WHICH IS INCREASINGLY VITAL FOR SOCIAL CONNECTION AND OPPORTUNITY IN MODERN SOCIETY. VOLUNTEERS RUN THE LAB AND ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP MEMBERS LEARN COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND PROGRAMS, SUPPORTING INCREASED COMPUTER LITERACY. THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM PROMOTES WELLNESS AND GROWTH BY INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE INFORMATION, SERVICES, AND REFERRALS. BRINGING PARTNER AGENCIES AND PRO BONO HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ONSITE TO SERVE MEMBERS RELIEVES VARIOUS BARRIERS TO CARE (E.G., TRANSPORTATION) FOR MEMBERS WHO ARE ALREADY AT TGP FOR OTHER REASONS. ADDITIONALLY, BY BUILDING TRUSTING AND COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOTH MEMBERS AND PARTNER AGENCIES, TGP IS ABLE TO PROVIDE "WARM HAND-OFF" REFERRALS WHERE MEMBERS ARE INTRODUCED PERSONALLY TO OUTSIDE PARTNER AGENCIES, IMPROVING THE SUCCESS RATE OF SUCH REFERRALS. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO PAY FOR PRESCRIPTIONS OR PHARMACY GIFT CARDS FOR MINOR MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS. TGP'S CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM SUPPORTS MEMBERS IN OBTAINING HOUSING AND OVERCOMING OTHER BARRIERS TO EXITING HOMELESSNESS AND ACHIEVING LONG-TERM STABILITY IN HOUSING. CASE MANAGERS WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO DEVELOP INDIVIDUALIZED PLANS AND GOALS ADDRESSING THEIR UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES AND NEEDS, AND THEN PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO MEMBERS IN ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS, INCLUDING OBTAINING TRANSITIONAL OR LONG-TERM HOUSING. CASE MANAGERS ALSO SUPPORT MEMBERS IN INCREASING INCOME THROUGH EMPLOYMENT AND BENEFITS, GAINING RELIABLE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION, OBTAINING EDUCATION OR TRAINING, AND CONNECTING WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS AS NEEDED TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM STABILITY.
