Safe Harbor Goals and Objectives |
| |
Safe Harbor's objectives focus on rehabilitation, treatment, employment,
financial stability and housing for its residents. Specific outcomes measured
are: employment, savings, entering job training or treatment programs and,
ultimately, moving into stable housing.
Success is achieved when a
resident leaves for a safe housing environment. This could be with family or
friends previously unwilling to accept this person, a supportive housing
institution that provides the help an individual needs, or a private or shared
apartment of their own. Over the past 12 months, Safe Harbor has reached this
level of success with 25% of the people who have been admitted to its shelter.
For the coming year, Safe Harbor will seek to maintain and improve upon
this success rate. We are also striving to better understand those who fail to
sustain the successes they have achieved or have not fully taken advantage of
the opportunities to better themselves. We believe the process of working with
the homeless community, like many social service areas, requires a program that
is dynamic, constantly evaluating itself and making adjustments to better serve
a population with complex needs. |
