Home Goods Advocacy Program
IN FY2021 CLNY SERVED 80 YOUTH IN OUR HOME GOODS ADVOCACY (HGA) PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF BOTH OUR YOUTH AND OUR REFERRAL PARTNERS. ALL YOUTH ORIGINALLY ENTER CLNY VIA THE HGA PROGRAM. A CITY LIVING SOCIAL WORKER DOES AN INITIAL CONSULTATION TO DETERMINE THE YOUTH'S HOUSING STATUS AND HOME GOODS NEEDS. DURING THIS INTAKE WE ALSO DISCUSS THE YOUTH'S LONG-TERM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, SUCH AS EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND COUNSELING NEEDS TO ASSESS IF THE YOUTH WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE WORKING ON THESE GOALS IN THE NEXT 3 6 MONTHS. IF THE YOUTH IS NOT INTERESTED IN PURSUING GOALS BEYOND HOUSING STABILITY, HE/SHE REMAINS IN HGA AND RECEIVES HOUSING SUPPORT FROM OUR SOCIAL WORKERS. SPECIFICALLY, CLNY PROVIDES HGA CLIENTS HOUSEHOLD GOODS, CHECKS IN QUARTERLY ON HOUSING STABILITY TO ASSURE ANY CONCERNS ARE DETECTED EARLY, AND INVITES THE YOUTH TO OUR WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS WHERE THEY BENEFIT FROM THE PEER COMMUNITY AND INTERACTIONS THAT OCCUR THERE. OUR HOUSING CHECK-IN IS DESIGNED TO ASSURE ANY ISSUES THAT COULD IMPACT HOUSING STABILITY ARE DETECTED EARLY. IF, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE YOUTH IS INTERESTED IN AND HAS THE WILLINGNESS TO PURSUE EDUCATIONAL OR EMPLOYMENT GOALS, HE/SHE ENTERS OUR COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES PROGRAM (CSP), OUR MORE INTENSIVE HANDS-ON PROGRAM.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$272.8KComprehensive Services Program
IN FY2021 WE SERVED AN ADDITIONAL 61 YOUTH IN OUR MORE INTENSIVE CSP PROGRAM. SOCIAL WORKERS CONTACT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WEEKLY TO CHECK IN AND HELP STRENGTHEN THEIR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL STABILITY. FOR YOUTH WITH AN EMPLOYMENT GOAL, CLNY ASSISTS YOUTH WITH RESUME WRITING AND JOB SEARCHES, CAREER COUNSELING, INTERVIEW READINESS, AND REFERRALS TO VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO FURTHER THEIR EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS. FOR YOUTH WITH AN EDUCATIONAL GOAL, WE ASSIST WITH A VARIETY OF EDUCATION CHALLENGES HELPING COLLEGE YOUTH WITH TUITION ISSUES, INTERNSHIP GUIDANCE, RE-ENROLLMENT CHALLENGES, LAPTOPS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES, SCHOLARSHIP SEARCHES, AND REFERRALS FOR TUTORING AND ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT. FOR OUR NON-COLLEGE ENROLLED YOUTH, WE MAKE REFERRALS TO APPROPRIATE HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY OR VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND HELP THEM PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURE. CLNY PROVIDES YOUTH WITH MENTAL HEALTH REFERRALS, FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING, PARENTING ITEMS AND NUTRITIONAL WORKSHOPS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, SOCIAL WORKERS ASSURE HOUSING STABILITY; OVER 60% OF OUR CSP CLIENTS HAVE NEEDED SOME SORT OF HOUSING INTERVENTION TO LOCATE OR MAINTAIN STABLE HOUSING. WHILE THE OVERALL STATISTICS ON FORMER FOSTER YOUTH RATES OF HOMELESSNESS ARE STAGGERING, AS OF TODAY, 100% OF OUR CLIENTS CURRENTLY REMAIN IN THEIR APARTMENTS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$148.8KEmergency Grant Program
