6  Describe the project/program for which you are applying for funds. Include the following information: service activity plan, intake and referral
procedures, program procedures and evaluation plan, intended accomplishments.
Include the target population, services, housing, partnerships, etc.
The Homeless Prevention Program will be operated through The Salvation Army Family Services. For the past 25 years the Salvation Army Family Services has
provided basic needs, support and case management services to individuals and families in need. The program provides emergency assistance to extremely
low-income families including, but not limited to: food baskets, sheriff cards, health cards, clothing vouchers, rental assistance, prescription assistance, utility
assistance, assistance with obtaining ID and referrals to other mainstream programs and agencies for public benefits and needed services. The goal of The
Salvation Army Family Services is to strengthen and unify families who are in severe financial crisis. Over 25,000 individuals are served annually, approximately 8,000
families of which 146 families received rental assistance for a maximum of one month in the last year. The average cost of rent for these families was $700 per month.
The Homeless Prevention Program will assist extremely low income families who have received eviction notices by providing rental assistance to enable them to stay
in their homes, and continued rental assistance as necessary to help them to retain their housing and avoid homelessness. Rental assistance may be provided for a
period of up to three months while the family works on a plan to overcome their financial crisis and become more self-sufficient. A casemanager dedicated to
Homeless Prevention will develop an Individual Services Plan with each family delineating their goals for self-sufficiency and how we will assist participants who are
facing eviction with rental assistance and will also provide food baskets as needed, utility assistance as needed, as well as work cards to address their needs for
additional supportive services to meet their family's needs, and referral to programs and services that may improve their income and ability to pay their housing costs.
The Homeless Prevention Case Manager will develop a service plan to identify families eligible for the services from the families presenting at the Family Services
office for services. The Homeless Prevention Case Manager will work with the Family Services Case Managers to identify families facing eviction and in need of
service. Intake requires I.D. for all adults, and a current Utility bill (water, gas, or power) OR a current lease with all family members on it and a current rent receipt,
birth certificates or custodial papers for each child, Social Security cards for all family members, and proof of all household income. The case manager will also
review the eviction notice to determine eligibility for the rental assistance. The service activity plan will include rental assistance for the current rental payment, rent in
arrears, and for up to three months rental assistance to bring the family to stabilization and self-sufficiency. An Individual Services Plan is developed with the
participant to outline their goals and objectives for achieving self-sufficiency, define the number of months that rental assistance may be needed, determine if rental in
arrears is needed, identify all their needs to help them to overcome their current financial crisis, and identify the supportive services needed to keep them from
eviction, enable them to maintain their homes for at least three months, and to help them to overcome their current financial crisis, and reach self-sufficiency. The
Case Manager will also review their current income and housing costs and determine if their housing costs are affordable. If not, the case manager will assist them
with locating affordable housing so that they can maintain their rental payments after the Homeless Prevention Services have ended, and assist them with moving to
more affordable housing. Additional supportive services may include referral to other Salvation Army programs including life skills, and vocational training to help
them to improve their income that they may maintain their housing.

9  Briefly describe the need, local situation, or conditions that your project will address. Describe how you meet the priority needs of the local CoC.
Indicate how long has your agency operated this program.
Include local data from the homeless census, HMIS, point in time count, and other relevant data. Include statistics provided by your agency such as the number of
referral calls, number on waiting lists, for how long, etc.
The need is to address the large number of families that are served eviction notices who may become homeless through the loss of their homes because they cannot
pay their rent. Through October, the Las Vegas constable's office served 17,365 evictions, public information officer Lou Tommin reported. They're on pace to fall far
short of the 36,987 evictions in 2011, which was down from a peak of around 40,000 in 2010. Still, Las Vegas leads the nation in evictions, attracting national and
international media attention (Las Vegas Review Journal, Local Evictions Dropping but Las Vegas Still Leads the Nation). With the high number of eviction notices
there is a tremendous need for the rental assistance that ESG funding can provide to help these low-income families to stay in their homes and avoid homelessness.
Family Services has been providing supportive servcies including rental assistance to families facing eviction for over 25 years. The current funding through EFSP
only allows payment of one month's rental assistance though some may need more. The ESG Homeless Prevention Program will expand the prevention activities
allowing rental assistance for up to 3 months to help the family to first avoid eviction and then support their need to stabilize and meet their rental payments for
additional months.
The Homeless Prevention Program will meet the needs of the local COC addressing Strategy 2. HOPE- Closing the Front Door to Homelessness - Prevent
homelessness whenever possible; improve the availability of prevention programs; expand the types of prevention strategies; evaluate their effectiveness in preventing
homelessness, improve access to wraparound mainstream services that link participants to services and community support to keep the participant in safe, affordable
housing; and address health and wellness issues. The Salvation Army Homeless Prevention Program will provide the wraparound services to address the need to
provide rental assistance to families at risk of homelessness so that they can avoid eviction and homelessness, and provide supportive services that will help them to
overcome their current financial crisis and achieve self-sufficiency. The program will help them to identify increased or new income sources through referral to job
skills training programs, and assistance with applying for mainstream public benefits. Their entire lifestyle is assessed to determine where services need to be
provided, and where changes need to be made to ensure that they can afford and maintain their housing, preventing them from becoming homeless. The focus of the
program on prevention is the key strategy as identified by the COC to prevent homelessness.
10  Describe the outcomes and accomplishments your project(s) has achieved for the past three years, and the degree to which objectives were met.
If there were difficulties, describe how that will be overcome in the future.
Indicate how long your organization has implemented this program. If project is new, provide the outcomes and accomplishments for a similar project/program(s) your
agency administers.
The Salvation Army Family Services Program provided one month rental assistance to 146 families in the last year helping these families to avoid eviction and
homelessness. The program through EFSP funding met all projected outcomes. These families were also provided with case management to provide supportive
services including rental assistance, utility assistance, work cards, food baskets, clothing vouchers, transportation and referral to other supportive services to help
them to improve their income and support their families. The projected outcomes are that wewillincrease the number extremely low-income families that we can assist
with rental assistance of up to 3 months by 50 families ensuring that they are able to maintain their homes and prevent them from becoming homeless. help them to
find other supportive services such as food, child care, health services, transportation, job training, job search and job placement. Additional supportive services are
provided to ensure that they locate affordable housing if needed, so that they can pay their own rent after program services, that they achieve an income that will enable
them to maintain their homes, that they apply for additional public benefits such as Food Stamps and Medicaid even if they are employed, to help them to find additional
support for their living needs, and that they find the resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency so that they can maintain their homes and support their families.

14  Describe how your agency will carry out case management. Also address how frequently case management will be provided and if it will be provided
by your agency staff or through collaboration with another provider.
Under the Interim Rule, case management is required for projects funded for homeless prevention and rapid re-housing activities.
The Homeless Prevention Program will employ a dedicated case manager to recruit participants from the Family Services Program, conduct intake, assess
participant's needs, develop an Individual Services Plan, provide intensive case management, provide rental assistance and other supportive services as needed,
locate affordable housing options if needed, and assist families with supportive services to retain their housing. Family Services participants are referred by the
Family Services case management staff to the program and connected to the Homeless Prevention casemanager to identify their needs, strengths and weaknesses,
barriers and develop an Individual Services Plan, a specific, comprehensive, individualized treatment and case plan that identifies the participant's needs, their
barriers, provides the plan for rental payments amounts and number of months needed, and develops a plan with the participant for identifying and receiving the
supportive services that will help them to overcome their financial crisis and achieve self-sufficiency. The case manager serves as a participant advocate to intercede
on their behalf and provide the supportive services needed, to provide the program's services and financial assistance to overcome barriers, and assist in stabilizing
them through direct intervention and mobilizing needed support and services.
Participants are monitored throughout their program participation, meeting regularly to monitor their progress, assess any barriers that may be preventing progress
and find the supports to help them overcome the barriers. Individual meetings with participants will assess their participation and satisfaction with the program and
develop the resources to help them to succeed. Upon exit, participants are interviewed to determine their perceptions of the program, assess their progress, and
determine if any other services are needed, including additional rental assistance, other supportive services needed to help them retain their housing, referral to other
service agencies if needed for additional supportive services to help them to reach self-sufficiency.
Follow-up services are provided monthly for a minimum of three months through casemanager contact to determine if the participant needs additional rental
assistance and any additional supportive services to ensure they retain their housing, and offer referral to services they may need to support their housing stability
including access to vocational training, job skills training, food, child care, transportation, health services, and homeless prevention programs including additional
rental assistance such as through The Salvation Army Family Services, and other agencies, and provide continued case management to ensure all their needs are
met to ensure that they can retain their permanent housing. A dedicated case manager employed in The Salvation Army Family Services Program will provide the
rental assistance and supportive services and serve as an advocate for the family to intervene in providing the services needed for them to reach self-sufficiency.
Follow-up is provided after initial rental assistance is provided at least monthly to determine if additional rental assistance is needed after the first month's rent and
engaging the family to re-apply for assistance. Other supportive services are provided through The Salvation Army services or referrals to other agency prevention
programs to assist them with income attainment, job skills training, food,child care, health services, transportation and other services that will help them to achieve
self-sufficiency.
15  How will your agency connect clients to mainstream programs and other supportive services: mainstream housing, health, social service,
employment, education, and youth programs?
Efforts to coordinate with these programs and link clients to these services to the maximum extent possible are required in the ESG Interim Rule.
The Homeless Prevention case manager will assist participants with applying for mainstream programs public benefits including TANF, Food Stamps, Medicaid,
SSI, SSD and Veterans benefits. The Salvation Army has strong relationships with the Department of Social Services, Social Security Administration, the Veterans
Administration, and SNAP program that have provided training to our staff in filling out applications and are very accepting of the participants that we refer to them.
All of the Salvation Army programs assist participants and families with applying for public benefits. Other supportive services will be provided through Salvation
Army programs or other agencies to ensure that they can retain their housing and self sufficiency.
16  Describe opportunities that clients have to provide input in program evaluation of services and/or everyday delivery of services.
Participants complete an Exit Evaluation after services are completed to provide their input on the program services, and the progress they have made in achieving
self-sufficiency. Satisfaction surveys are completed by participants to share their feelings on the program's services and support.
17  Describe the process the project uses to terminate assistance to participants, if applicable. Include any public postings of rules. notification
process, and any appeals procedures in place.
Terination of services will occur if the family cannot provide the required ID, birth certificates, income verification, and housing verification. However, if needed, we
will assist the family with obtaining the necessary ID to enable them to enroll in the program. Once the family receives the first month's rental assistance they must
re-apply for additional month's rental assistance. Termination will occur if they do not follow through with the appropriate re-application procedures. This will only
happen after the participant has been contacted a number of times to encourage their participation.
18  Are there any fees or payments required from your clients? If yes, please explain.
No

Homeless families w/ children Low income individuals at imminent risk of homelessness Low income families at imminent risk of homelessness Other:   N/A 5  Choose the homeless or low-income population that best describes the clients served by your program. If you are emphasizing resources on a specific group please explain in the project description. Some of these groups overlap, you may check off more than one but the project description and project history should cover populations of emphasis. Veterans Victims of Domestic Violence Elderly People diagnosed with HIV/ AIDS Chronically Homeless Severly Mentally Ill Chronic Substance Abusers Other Disabled Medically fragile Transgendered Other:   6  Describe the project/program for which you are applying for funds. Include the following information: service activity plan, intake and referral procedures, program procedures and evaluation plan, intended accomplishments. Include the target population, services, housing, partnerships, etc. The Homeless Prevention Program will be operated through The Salvation Army Family Services. For the past 25 years the Salvation Army Family Services has provided basic needs, support and case management services to individuals and families in need. The program provides emergency assistance to extremely low-income families including, but not limited to: food baskets, sheriff cards, health cards, clothing vouchers, rental assistance, prescription assistance, utility assistance, assistance with obtaining ID and referrals to other mainstream programs and agencies for public benefits and needed services. The goal of The Salvation Army Family Services is to strengthen and unify families who are in severe financial crisis. Over 25,000 individuals are served annually, approximately 8,000 families of which 146 families received rental assistance for a maximum of one month in the last year. The average cost of rent for these families was $700 per month. The Homeless Prevention Program will assist extremely low income families who have received eviction notices by providing rental assistance to enable them to stay in their homes, and continued rental assistance as necessary to help them to retain their housing and avoid homelessness. Rental assistance may be provided for a period of up to three months while the family works on a plan to overcome their financial crisis and become more self-sufficient. A casemanager dedicated to Homeless Prevention will develop an Individual Services Plan with each family delineating their goals for self-sufficiency and how we will assist participants who are facing eviction with rental assistance and will also provide food baskets as needed, utility assistance as needed, as well as work cards to address their needs for additional supportive services to meet their family's needs, and referral to programs and services that may improve their income and ability to pay their housing costs. The Homeless Prevention Case Manager will develop a service plan to identify families eligible for the services from the families presenting at the Family Services office for services. The Homeless Prevention Case Manager will work with the Family Services Case Managers to identify families facing eviction and in need of service. Intake requires I.D. for all adults, and a current Utility bill (water, gas, or power) OR a current lease with all family members on it and a current rent receipt, birth certificates or custodial papers for each child, Social Security cards for all family members, and proof of all household income. The case manager will also review the eviction notice to determine eligibility for the rental assistance. The service activity plan will include rental assistance for the current rental payment, rent in arrears, and for up to three months rental assistance to bring the family to stabilization and self-sufficiency. An Individual Services Plan is developed with the participant to outline their goals and objectives for achieving self-sufficiency, define the number of months that rental assistance may be needed, determine if rental in arrears is needed, identify all their needs to help them to overcome their current financial crisis, and identify the supportive services needed to keep them from eviction, enable them to maintain their homes for at least three months, and to help them to overcome their current financial crisis, and reach self-sufficiency. The Case Manager will also review their current income and housing costs and determine if their housing costs are affordable. If not, the case manager will assist them with locating affordable housing so that they can maintain their rental payments after the Homeless Prevention Services have ended, and assist them with moving to more affordable housing. Additional supportive services may include referral to other Salvation Army programs including life skills, and vocational training to help them to improve their income that they may maintain their housing. 7  Select the HUD funding priority and/or Continuum of Care identfied regional population of emphasis that your project addresses.

Describe how you meet the priority needs of the local CoC. Indicate how long has your agency operated this program. Include local data from the homeless census, HMIS, point in time count, and other relevant data. Include statistics provided by your agency such as the number of referral calls, number on waiting lists, for how long, etc. The need is to address the large number of families that are served eviction notices who may become homeless through the loss of their homes because they cannot pay their rent. Through October, the Las Vegas constable's office served 17,365 evictions, public information officer Lou Tommin reported. They're on pace to fall far short of the 36,987 evictions in 2011, which was down from a peak of around 40,000 in 2010. Still, Las Vegas leads the nation in evictions, attracting national and international media attention (Las Vegas Review Journal, Local Evictions Dropping but Las Vegas Still Leads the Nation). With the high number of eviction notices there is a tremendous need for the rental assistance that ESG funding can provide to help these low-income families to stay in their homes and avoid homelessness. Family Services has been providing supportive servcies including rental assistance to families facing eviction for over 25 years. The current funding through EFSP only allows payment of one month's rental assistance though some may need more. The ESG Homeless Prevention Program will expand the prevention activities allowing rental assistance for up to 3 months to help the family to first avoid eviction and then support their need to stabilize and meet their rental payments for additional months. The Homeless Prevention Program will meet the needs of the local COC addressing Strategy 2. HOPE- Closing the Front Door to Homelessness - Prevent homelessness whenever possible; improve the availability of prevention programs; expand the types of prevention strategies; evaluate their effectiveness in preventing homelessness, improve access to wraparound mainstream services that link participants to services and community support to keep the participant in safe, affordable housing; and address health and wellness issues. The Salvation Army Homeless Prevention Program will provide the wraparound services to address the need to provide rental assistance to families at risk of homelessness so that they can avoid eviction and homelessness, and provide supportive services that will help them to overcome their current financial crisis and achieve self-sufficiency. The program will help them to identify increased or new income sources through referral to job skills training programs, and assistance with applying for mainstream public benefits. Their entire lifestyle is assessed to determine where services need to be provided, and where changes need to be made to ensure that they can afford and maintain their housing, preventing them from becoming homeless. The focus of the program on prevention is the key strategy as identified by the COC to prevent homelessness. 10  Describe the outcomes and accomplishments your project(s) has achieved for the past three years, and the degree to which objectives were met. If there were difficulties, describe how that will be overcome in the future. Indicate how long your organization has implemented this program. If project is new, provide the outcomes and accomplishments for a similar project/program(s) your agency administers. The Salvation Army Family Services Program provided one month rental assistance to 146 families in the last year helping these families to avoid eviction and homelessness. The program through EFSP funding met all projected outcomes. These families were also provided with case management to provide supportive services including rental assistance, utility assistance, work cards, food baskets, clothing vouchers, transportation and referral to other supportive services to help them to improve their income and support their families. The projected outcomes are that wewillincrease the number extremely low-income families that we can assist with rental assistance of up to 3 months by 50 families ensuring that they are able to maintain their homes and prevent them from becoming homeless. help them to find other supportive services such as food, child care, health services, transportation, job training, job search and job placement. Additional supportive services are
  • 4. provided to ensure that they locate affordable housing if needed, so that they can pay their own rent after program services, that they achieve an income that will enable them to maintain their homes, that they apply for additional public benefits such as Food Stamps and Medicaid even if they are employed, to help them to find additional support for their living needs, and that they find the resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency so that they can maintain their homes and support their families. 11  Provide the number of unduplicated individuals/ households assisted by your program(s) in the last fiscal year (July 1, 2012- June 30, 2013) 146 Homeless prevention (rent/utility) households Homeless prevention (rent/utility) individuals 200 Rapid Re-Housing HH (rent/utility/sec deposit/first month) Rapid Re-Housing Indiv.

Also address how frequently case management will be provided and if it will be provided by your agency staff or through collaboration with another provider. Under the Interim Rule, case management is required for projects funded for homeless prevention and rapid re-housing activities. The Homeless Prevention Program will employ a dedicated case manager to recruit participants from the Family Services Program, conduct intake, assess participant's needs, develop an Individual Services Plan, provide intensive case management, provide rental assistance and other supportive services as needed, locate affordable housing options if needed, and assist families with supportive services to retain their housing. Family Services participants are referred by the Family Services case management staff to the program and connected to the Homeless Prevention casemanager to identify their needs, strengths and weaknesses, barriers and develop an Individual Services Plan, a specific, comprehensive, individualized treatment and case plan that identifies the participant's needs, their barriers, provides the plan for rental payments amounts and number of months needed, and develops a plan with the participant for identifying and receiving the supportive services that will help them to overcome their financial crisis and achieve self-sufficiency. The case manager serves as a participant advocate to intercede on their behalf and provide the supportive services needed, to provide the program's services and financial assistance to overcome barriers, and assist in stabilizing them through direct intervention and mobilizing needed support and services. Participants are monitored throughout their program participation, meeting regularly to monitor their progress, assess any barriers that may be preventing progress and find the supports to help them overcome the barriers. Individual meetings with participants will assess their participation and satisfaction with the program and develop the resources to help them to succeed. Upon exit, participants are interviewed to determine their perceptions of the program, assess their progress, and determine if any other services are needed, including additional rental assistance, other supportive services needed to help them retain their housing, referral to other service agencies if needed for additional supportive services to help them to reach self-sufficiency. Follow-up services are provided monthly for a minimum of three months through casemanager contact to determine if the participant needs additional rental assistance and any additional supportive services to ensure they retain their housing, and offer referral to services they may need to support their housing stability including access to vocational training, job skills training, food, child care, transportation, health services, and homeless prevention programs including additional rental assistance such as through The Salvation Army Family Services, and other agencies, and provide continued case management to ensure all their needs are met to ensure that they can retain their permanent housing. A dedicated case manager employed in The Salvation Army Family Services Program will provide the rental assistance and supportive services and serve as an advocate for the family to intervene in providing the services needed for them to reach self-sufficiency. Follow-up is provided after initial rental assistance is provided at least monthly to determine if additional rental assistance is needed after the first month's rent and engaging the family to re-apply for assistance. Other supportive services are provided through The Salvation Army services or referrals to other agency prevention programs to assist them with income attainment, job skills training, food,child care, health services, transportation and other services that will help them to achieve self-sufficiency.
  • 5. 15  How will your agency connect clients to mainstream programs and other supportive services: mainstream housing, health, social service, employment, education, and youth programs?

The Homeless Prevention case manager will assist participants with applying for mainstream programs public benefits including TANF, Food Stamps, Medicaid, SSI, SSD and Veterans benefits. The Salvation Army has strong relationships with the Department of Social Services, Social Security Administration, the Veterans Administration, and SNAP program that have provided training to our staff in filling out applications and are very accepting of the participants that we refer to them. All of the Salvation Army programs assist participants and families with applying for public benefits.

Once the family receives the first month's rental assistance they must re-apply for additional month's rental assistance. Termination will occur if they do not follow through with the appropriate re-application procedures.
