s_m EVERETT <br /> MEM WASHINGTON <br /> City of Everett Human Needs Grant <br /> January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 <br /> Exhibit A <br /> Program Summary <br /> Organization&Program: Volunteers of America: Maud's House Emergency Shelter& Development <br /> VOAWW provides shelter,intensive case management and wraparound support services to Everett homeless <br /> mothers and their children. The Maud's House Program Manager places clients in our emergency shelter. As their <br /> Case Manager,she helps them develop housing stability plans and become self-sufficient. She also serves as the <br /> focal point for the Maud's House Collaborative,which is designed to help the women plan for their family's future <br /> and develop a family value around child and adult education and employment readiness. The program also utilizes <br /> motel vouchers to house families temporarily,when necessary in support of program objectivies. <br /> -Our overarching objective is to help families get into permanent housing,in which they can be stable. This might <br /> involve Rapid Rehousing,voucher based programs,and other housing resources that have supports designed to <br /> support housing stability and self-sufficiency. We also see great potential for a program that addressees the root <br /> causes of parents'challenges(lack of education,poor employment readiness,and inability to plan for the future), <br /> with the objective of empowering them to succeed in permanent housing without extensive wraparound services. <br /> -We also have the objective that all young children will be enrolled in Early Head Start or Early Childhood <br /> Education and Assistance Program(ECEAP). We also want to see mothers have their school-age children attend <br /> school. <br /> -Our third objective is that mothers will understand how childhood trauma impacts their lives daily,including their <br /> ability to plan for the future. Included in this awareness is the goal that each mother understand the impact of <br /> current trauma on their children's lives(today and in the future),as well as how to lessen the impacts of trauma. <br /> 2019 Human Needs Contracts 7 <br />
