(DBA JUST NEIGHBORS INTERFAITH HOMELESS NETWORK) IS A PRIVATE, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. WE BEGAN PROVIDING EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR FAMILIES IN 2000. OUR EMERGENCY SHELTER PROGRAM IS INNOVATIVE, EFFECTIVE, AND COST EFFICIENT. OUR PROGRAM IS UNIQUE BECAUSE: 1) IT IS THE ONLY LOCAL PROGRAM THAT SERVICES ENTIRE FAMILIES IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY HOUSING AND KEEPS THEM TOGETHER AS AN INTACT FAMILY UNIT; AND 2) THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT VOLUNTEER COMPONENT WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES TO VOLUNTEER TO SERVE OTHER FAMILIES WHO ARE HOMELESS. ALL EVENING MEALS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ARE DONATED, PREPARED, AND SERVED BY OUR DEDICATED GROUP OF 26 CHURCHES AND COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS. AS A RESULT, WE OFFER HOME-COOKED, SIT-DOWN, AND NUTRITIOUS EVENING MEALS 365 DAYS A YEAR. THE INTERACTION THAT OCCURS BETWEEN VOLUNTEERS AND GUESTS PROVIDES LASTING IMPRESSIONS AND LIFE CHANGING LESSONS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. POPULATIONS SERVED: AS A GENERAL REALITY, OUR CLIENTS ARE LOW-INCOME OR AT LEAST IN ECONOMIC CRISIS. WE USE AREA MEDIAN INCOME AS OUR MAIN INCOME METRIC WITH 30% OF AMI AS OUR THRESHOLD FOR LOW INCOME. OUR CORE GOAL IS TO BE ON THE FRONT LINES TO PROVIDE SHELTER, COMPASSIONATE ADVOCACY AND OTHER NECESSITIES FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE CAUGHT IN THE CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS. WE ASSIST THEM TO MOVE TOWARD INDEPENDENCE AND SELF-RELIANCE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SERVICES PROVIDED: AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, WE PROVIDE OVERNIGHT SHELTER AND MEALS. OUR STAFF ALSO PROVIDES CASE MANAGEMENT INCLUDING A NEED ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE MEDICAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND EMPLOYMENT NEEDS. WE ASSIST GUESTS WITH APPLYING FOR SERVICES FROM OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY IN OUR PROGRAM IS 39 DAYS. 55 FAMILIES RECEIVED SHELTER AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES IN 2023. 80% OF FAMILIES SERVED IN 2023 SUCCESSFULLY MOVED TO SAFE TRANSITIONAL OR PERMANENT HOUSING (NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 55%). 100% OF SHELTERED CHILDREN STAYED IN SCHOOL, AND 100% OF FAMILIES RECEIVED A DETAILED NEED ASSESSMENT WITH A CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT MOVED THEM ALONG THEIR WAY TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. OUTREACH CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: OUTREACH CASE MANGERS SERVE AS ADVOCATES FOR FAMILIES AND ARE PRESENT WHERE FAMILIES ARE FIRST REQUESTING ASSISTANCE AT OFF-SITE PARTNER LOCATIONS. WE FIND THE RIGHT SERVICE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND COUNSEL THE FAMILY THE ENTIRE WAY DURING THEIR TIME OF CRISIS. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PROVIDES DIGNITY FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY AND IS A DATA- DRIVEN RESPONSE TO ENDING HOMELESSNESS. IN 2023, OUR OFF-SITE OUTREACH CASE MANAGER PROVIDED REFERRAL SERVICES TO 504 INDIVIDUALS. WE BELIEVE WE SHOULD MAKE THE FIRST MOVE IN IDENTIFYING THOSE IN NEED INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THEM TO COME TO US. SAME CITY FOOD TRUCK PROGRAM: WITH THE PANDEMIC, STREET OUTREACH TEAMS HAD TO SWITCH HOW THEY OPERATED AND DISTRIBUTED FOOD. AS A RESULT, SAME CITY FOOD TRUCK WAS LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2021. BY GIVING OUR STREET TEAM PARTNERS A LICENSED, MOBILE KITCHEN IN WHICH TO SERVE, WE ARE PROVIDING TOOLS NEEDED TO CONTINUE THEIR EFFORTS. IN ADDITION, A JUST NEIGHBORS ON-SITE CASE MANAGER GATHERS GUEST INFORMATION. THIS PROVIDES RESOURCE INFORMATION TO CONNECT INDIVIDUALS TO APPROPRIATE PROGRAMS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT BUILDING COMMUNITY CAN BRING BETTER OUTCOMES FOR A TYPICALLY WARY UNSHELTERED POPULATION. BY SERVING MEALS THROUGH LOCAL RESTAURANT PARTNERSHIPS, THE FOOD TRUCK HAS BECOME A HUB OF ACTIVITY FOR THOSE WHOSE MEALS OFTEN MEAN STANDING IN A KITCHEN LINE AND TAKING WHATEVER FOOD IS OFFERED. DURING 2023, WE SERVED 3,642 FREE MEALS TO THE UNSHELTERED. EVICTION INTERVENTION PROGRAM: IN JUNE 2021, A NEW PROGRAM WAS ADDED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THOSE FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF HOMELESSNESS. WE ASSIGN A FULL TIME STAFF MEMBER TO WORK ALONGSIDE INDIANA LEGAL SERVICES DURING HEARINGS TO ASSIST IN REVIEWING CLIENT FILES AND TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT FAMILIES THAT ARE FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF EVICTION. WE ALSO WORK WITH LOCAL PROPERTY OWNERS AND RENT AND UTILITY PROGRAMS TO HELP FAMILIES IN NEED BEFORE EVICTIONS ARE FILED. THIS PROGRAM WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN JUST NEIGHBORS, THE CITY OF FORT WAYNE, INDIANA LEGAL SERVICES, AND THE UNITED WAY OF ALLEN COUNTY. WE HAVE SERVED 4,168 HOUSEHOLDS IN THIS PROGRAM DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS WITH 2,248 OF THOSE EVICTIONS BEING DISMISSED (54%). TOTAL HOUSEHOLDS SERVED IN 2023: 1,960 (APPROXIMATELY 6,200 PEOPLE). PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: JUST NEIGHBORS CONTINUES TO BE A FRONT-LINE ORGANIZATION WITH A RECORD OF INNOVATIVE, COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE OUR CITY. WE WORK EXCLUSIVELY IN AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN HISTORICAL CHALLENGES SUCH AS RISING EVICTION RATES AND GROWING NUMBERS OF HOMELESS FAMILIES. WE TACKLE THIS BY PLANNING PROJECTS THAT MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS WITH EXISTING SERVICE PROVIDERS, PRODUCING PROGRAMS THAT EFFICIENTLY ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. WE BELIEVE THAT ADVOCACY IS THE KEY TO WELLBEING. WORKING GENERATIONALLY PERSON-TO PERSON IS THE KEY TO ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS. WE BELIEVE OUR MODEL, THROUGH ORGANIC CONNECTIONS, PROVIDES SPACE FOR OUR CLIENTS TO GROW SPIRITUALLY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY. AS FORT WAYNE'S ONLY EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTER FOR FAMILIES, WE HAVE A HUGE TASK BEFORE US IN CARING FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS. WE ARE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN OUR AREA WITH COMPREHENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT FOR FAMILIES INTEGRATED WITH AN EMERGENCY SHELTER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF 2,800 HOMELESS CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN OUR REGION IN ANY GIVEN YEAR. WE WORK ALONGSIDE OVER 900 DEDICATED COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS FROM LOCAL CONGREGATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND VARIOUS CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE A TRULY INNOVATIVE AND INTENTIONALLY COLLABORATIVE MODEL THAT NOT ONLY WORKS, BUT IT ALSO RECOGNIZES THE DIGNITY OF ALL PEOPLE. POVERTY IS ISOLATING. IT LIMITS OPPORTUNITIES, TAKES A SPIRITUAL TOLL IN ITS PROPENSITY TO DEEPEN DESPAIR, CREATES MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AS PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE, AND ATTACKS PHYSICAL HEALTH. BUT WE HAVE SEEN THAT PEOPLE CAN DO ABOUT ANYTHING WHEN THEY NO LONGER FEEL ALONE. THEREFORE, OUR MODEL IS INTENTIONALLY BUILT AROUND UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA WHILE ALMOST IGNORING THE USUAL MODEL OF 100% RESOURCE-BASED CARE. TO BE SURE, PEOPLE NEED FOOD, SHELTER, AND ACCESS TO RESOURCES, BUT THEY ALSO NEED TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTS, THEIR OBLIGATIONS, THEIR DEEPER ISSUES, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THAT, TOGETHER, WE HAVE THIS MANAGED. THIS IS WHERE WE EXCEL- OUR CASE MANAGERS WILL WALK ALONGSIDE YOU. AS A RESULT, WE SEE OUR WHOLE- PERSON, WRAP-AROUND SERVICE MODEL HELPING PEOPLE AT THE LOWEST POINT IN THEIR LIVES. 795383 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 18 0 true 20 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X SHEILA BROWN 2604589772 2925 EAST STATE BLVD FORT WAYNE IN 46805 REV JOSHUA GALE EXECUTIVE DI 50.00 X X 90000 0 6905 SUSAN BOYD PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ALYSSA BOYD FORMER SECRE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TRACEY SELIG TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MEAGAN HAYES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER MINK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHERRY MYERS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VERONICA SIERRA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDRA VILLAJOS-VIDAL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAITLIN WIEKART DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERICA WOODWARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 90000 6905 false false false 1020 242402 577606 115124 821028 1342 1342 3215 1020 2949 266 266 822636 1608 204265 204265 97152 48576 34003 14573 468742 365418 90732 12592 50075 31229 16268 2578 41660 31463 8145 2052 7905 7905 8423 3425 4998 5830 2668 2410 752 6477 5829 324 324 73313 57394 15919 5832 5832 41621 27739 13882 16085 1130 14955 OTHER EXPENSES 13455 6625 579 6251 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 7215 7215 1048050 795383 208547 44120 106286 30463 105206 93182 207594 161709 67274 14556 4638 5866 977307 369956 642694 607351 1133692 913127 16495 21344 16495 21344 X 851734 701558 265463 190225 1117197 891783 1133692 913127 -225414 X false true X true false X 659882 708842 1235651 1352231 821028 4777634 659882 708842 1235651 1352231 821028 4777634 517760 4259874 215 223 55 52 1342 1887 239 874 862 1975 4781496 6076 0.89090 0.90360 X true false PART II, LINE 10 OTHER INCOME 1,975 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 121405 121405 649238 235283 413955 206664 134673 71991 607351 822636 822636 822636 1048050 1048050 1048050 true UTILITY ASSISTANCE 5 233 COST TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE 925 2618 COST RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT 135 79401 COST MEDICAL ASSIST./DAY CARE 5 132 COST FOOD 1950 121582 COST DONATED MEALS DAYCENTER 55 299 COST SCHEDULE I, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 2 A CASEWORKER DOES A FINANCIAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
