Tumbleweed provides a comprehensive continuum of services, which offers vulnerable youth a direct path from homelessness to self-sufficiency. As youth first enter Tumbleweeds care, they are usually seeking immediate relief from the streets through any of Tumbleweed’s Emergency Support Programs, including one of two Youth Resources Centers (located in Phoenix and Tempe), the Emergency Housing Program, or Street Outreach. As outlined below in greater detail, each of these entry points enables homeless youth to get off the street and obtain interaction with a case worker who can direct the participant to appropriate Tumbleweed and community services. Tumbleweed is kindly requesting $10,000 in order to better serve Arizona youth through its Emergency Support Programs. This grant will address the Tohono O’odham Nation’s priority funding of Health Care Services and Public Safety and is being requested through Maricopa County. The totality of Emergency Services is supported by other grants and contracts, and this request is a contribution to that funding. About Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development Tumbleweed is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to ending youth homelessness in Maricopa County. Through the provision of shelter and social services Tumbleweed seeks to empower vulnerable young people to acquire the skills and resources they need to escape homelessness and achieve self-sufficient adulthood. For over 40 years, Tumbleweed’s programs have been driven by the vision that every young person is valued, needs a safe place to live, and is entitled to the support necessary to grow and thrive. To accomplish this vision, Tumbleweed provides a comprehensive continuum of services which offers vulnerable youth a direct path from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Services provided include 24 hour crisis intervention, street outreach, day resource centers, emergency shelter, transitional housing, specialized housing resources for non-citizen and LGBT youth, accredited high school and GED preparation classes, workforce development services, and opportunities for paid employment and employability skills development. Explain the Perceived Need and Explain How the Proposal Will Address that Need Every night, approximately 650 Maricopa County youth sleep on the streets. They hide alongside canals, under bushes, and behind dumpsters, and return to the same secluded places night after night. These are youth like Dion. At 16, Dion slept in a laundromat and found meals in the trash outside fast food restaurants. He was scared, alone, and needed help. Today, he lives at Tumbleweed, has graduated from High School, and works part time while attending community college. Dion is one of the lucky few. Homeless youth outnumber supported housing availability 15 to 1 in Maricopa County. Tumbleweed’s Emergency Support Programs are their front door, and often only chance, to escape homelessness. Tumbleweed’s Emergency Support Programs - Youth Resource Centers, Street Outreach, and Emergency Housing – offer a safety net for vulnerable young people. As the first point of contact with Tumbleweed’s family of programs and countless community resources, Emergency Support Programs offer engagement, survival assistance, resource linkage, and housing which empower youth to permanently escape homelessness. The Emergency Support Programs operate in the following three areas: 1 • Street Outreach Teams visit areas frequented by homeless youth providing food, basic first aid and health items, hygiene supplies, clothing, and assistance accessing shelter and community resources. Outreach Teams establish trusting relationships with street-dependent youth encouraging them to escape homelessness with support. Ultimately they engage the local youth and offer survival aid. • Youth Resource Centers provide drop-in resources, case management, and service linkage 5 days/week. Tumbleweed’s two Youth Resource Centers offer meals, showers, educational and social groups, and intake to Tumbleweed’s emergency shelters. Through community partnerships, youth are directly linked to housing, government entitlements, legal assistance, medical care, employment assistance, counseling and mental health services, and substance abuse treatment based on individual needs. Youth Resource Centers are meant to provide extended survival aid to youth as well as assistance connecting with necessary resources. • The 28 bed Emergency Housing Program provides 90 day shelter for young adults as they obtain supported or independent housing, prepare for and enter the workforce, or mend relationships to reunite with family. Shelter services offer safe escape from the streets for the most vulnerable Central Arizona youth including those with medical and emotional health needs, and survivors of sexual exploitation and domestic violence. Together, these programs offer around-the-clock safety for vulnerable youth, unlocking the promise of Tumbleweed’s mission: opportunities to grow and thrive. Describe the Population Who Will Benefit from the Proposal if Approved Tumbleweed provides shelter and services for homeless youth up to the age of 25. Utilizing a nationally recognized best practice model of blended drop-in center services and street-based outreach, Tumbleweed’s Youth Resource Centers provide survival assistance, case management, and support for nearly 1,000 youth annually through two locations in Central Phoenix and downtown Tempe. In 2013, Tumbleweed served nearly 3,000 youth in all its programs, 77% of whom were between the ages of 18 and 25. When compared to the prior year, Tumbleweed experienced a 20% increase in unduplicated youth served. Demographics for our participants in 2013 are as follows: Thirty-six percent of participants identified as White/Caucasian, 26% as Hispanic/Latino, 23% as African-American/Black, 11% as Native American, 3% as Multi-Racial, 1% as Asian/Pacific Islander, and 2% as Other/Unwilling to Provide. Include a Budget of the Requested Funds with the Total Amount Requested Clearly Notated Tumbleweed’s Emergency Support Program is supported by a number of other grants and contracts.
