This is a HUGE difference from the$40,000! As you can see, requesting$«Request» is really a small amount of money in comparison, but has the potential of making such an impact! To date, Stepping Stone Emergency Housing has changed Anoka County homelessness.We encourage residents to change their past actions of"dependency on"to "independency from"the community; making them a contributing member of our community.The ways we do this is by providing services and creating programs that MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Following is a brief summary of our two programs: Emergency Shelter and Emergency Housing. • Emergency Shelter: Emergency Shelter Service is for individuals seeking shelter onl and have no current need or desire to work on overcoming the issues that contributed to their homelessness. The initial stay in Emergency Shelter is for 7 days or less, and up to 28 days within a 365-day timeframe. During this short-term stay, all of the individual's basic needs are met, including three meals per day, laundry, bed, shower, linens, and hygiene products and clothes, if needed. • Programmatic Shelter: The Programmatic Shelter Program is for individuals who have the desire and willingness to work on resolving the issues that have contributed to their homelessness. We only accept individuals into the Programmatic Shelter Program who are actively receiving Emergency Shelter Service from Stepping Stone.The maximum planned stay in Programmatic Shelter is 90 days. We allow residents to extend their stay in Programmatic Shelter in 30-day increments for those residents that can demonstrate progress, documented in their Individual Goal Plan (IGP).The intended outcome of Programmatic Shelter is for residents to develop the skills necessary to acquire and keep their own housing. Residents who are in the Programmatic Shelter Program, like Emergency Shelter, are given their basic needs.They also must meet with a Case Manager twice per month, comply with all published Resident Rules& Responsibilities, complete all assigned work training during assigned times, actively engage in making progress on their IGP, and have a willingness to take the responsibility to find their own housing. Thank you in advance for your consideration of support for Stepping Stone and those who call it "home." With your help and investment,the Centerville community will have a direct impact on positively affecting the course of individual lives.
