Description of Work - in space below, describe the program to be funded during the 12- <br />month contract period including, services to be provided, program goals, client <br />characteristics, & how grant funds will be utilized. <br />The "Steps to Independence" program is a transitional shelter program whose goal is to <br />empower homeless women to take positive control of their lives and become <br />contributing members of the community. Through the 'Steps to Independence," "Senior <br />Step," "First Step," and "Step Up" programs, WISEPlace provides shelter, food, clothing, <br />counseling, and supportive services for women who are living alone. The women served <br />include the following high -risk populations: victims of domestic violence, former abusers <br />of drug and alcohol, youth emancipating from the foster care system, and senior <br />women. <br />The goal of the "Steps" programs is to take homeless women off the street and <br />rehabilitate them, enabling them to re-establish themselves as fully functioning <br />members of the community. The objective is to provide the women with time to become <br />stabilized emotionally, set goals and begin to accomplish the goals. The "Steps" <br />programs further seek to empower women to find solutions to their own problems, now <br />and in the future. By providing information and assistance to eliminate the issues that <br />led to their homelessness, the cycle of homelessness can ultimately be broken. <br />The short-term goal is to make each program participant self-sufficient so they will not <br />become a statistic in this or any other shelter in the future. Sub -goals include: <br />strengthening each woman's coping skills; developing each woman's sense of integrity <br />and self-worth; enabling each woman to have a choice in determining her future, and <br />empowering her to address her issues directly. <br />The specific goal for the CDBG funds is for the women to have a safe living <br />environment and nutritious meals prepared for them daily. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
