Program accomplishments

• The Organization operates the following programs: The Access Center serves as the Coordinated Entry System (CES) for all clients in the Glendale Continuum of Care by providing standardized assessment of all clients that prioritizes the most vulnerable for housing placement. Services include street outreach, comprehensive screening and assessment of client needs, and case management with specializations in mental health, substance use disorders, housing location, employment, financial literacy, occupational therapy, tele-psychiatry, psychotherapy, art therapy for children, and veterans services. Services based at the Access Center are client-centered and use a trauma-informed approach to support client use of services. The Organizations Outreach Teams canvas streets to offer services to people experiencing homelessness, respond to calls from the community to help people experiencing homelessness, and provide essential transportation to connect clients to needed services. The Access Center case management staff conducts a thorough review of each persons social, economic and health needs and tailors a plan for continuing services at the Organization or makes a responsible referral to an appropriate provider. Case Managers assist clients by helping them clarify priorities, identify resources, and facilitate short and long-term planning. The on-site mobile medical unit and trauma therapists give clients access to essential mental health services, and volunteers provide additional services including blood pressure screening and haircuts. Ascencia leads the Glendale CES, and supports the CES in the east San Fernando Valley, Northeast Los Angeles, Hollywood, and West Hollywood. Emergency Housing for 60-90 days for single adults and 120 days for families with minor children to help people address an immediate crisis. Entering adult clients must pass a Megans Law check, are encouraged to save money, and participate in case management services, which are provided through the Access Center. The 45-bed program can accommodate families of any size and configuration; children of any age are permitted. Volunteers provide substantial enrichment to the program; for example, school age children receive tutoring from School on Wheels, and volunteers and Guest Chefs purchase, prepare and serve meals for the residents each night by utilizing hundreds of volunteers a year from religious organizations, businesses, and service clubs. Scattered Site Permanent Supportive Housing for chronically homeless families and single adults provides a permanent home with social services support to ensure housing stability. The program focuses on helping families and individuals with disabilities and histories of extended or repeated homelessness overcome the physical and emotional setbacks of homelessness. This program, which converted from a family transitional housing program, in 2014, encountered difficulties finding families that met the HUD criteria for chronic homelessness. As a result, some of the units have been converted to single person households. The program is currently serving twelve households including 16 adults and 5 children. Next Step Permanent Supportive Housing provides a critical housing opportunity for single chronically homeless adults in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. Clients in this program have completed residential rehabilitation but need more time to establish their sobriety and repair the substantial damage done to their credit, employability and personal relationships following long-term alcohol and/or drug abuse and homelessness. As a permanent housing program, clients have the opportunity to work at their own pace to rebuild their lives, and the Organization staff provide the support and guidance to help them. Services include financial literacy training, recovery support groups, small grants for education, guidance on credit repair, and referrals for legal services.
