Residing in a 4-unit building in a quiet neighborhood in River Falls under the care of a professional case manager, families have the potential to stay for up to 24 months. They contribute 30% of their income toward rent as they work toward their individual goals of securing permanent housing. In April of 2016, ONP signed a memorandum of understanding with WestCAP to provide Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to address the need for affordable rental housing for low-income households with at least one disabled member and who are experiencing homelessness or who are imminently at risk of homelessness. To this end, WestCAP and Our Neighbors' Place agreed to work together to assist these individuals and families in Pierce and St. Croix Counties with Tenant Based Rental Assistance grant funds. This agreement has since been renewed; the purpose is to serve households by providing safe, affordable housing and case management services to program participants. Under this arrangement, Our Neighbors' Place serves as a referral source for the TBRA program, and WestCAP provides program operations functions. ONP screens all applicants, determines eligibility, completes certification of homelessness; secures medical statement of disability; refers program applicants to other community based services including applying for Section 8 housing assistance; completes all program documentation; secures statement of earnings; and completes monthly service reports. WestCAP provides security deposits and the rental assistance funds; pays housing assistance payments to landlords on behalf of program participants; conducts housing inspections; assists in negotiating lease changes and evictions; assists in handling landlord/tenant complaints; and conducts re-certifications. WestCAP and Our Neighbors' Place coordinate and integrate the TBRA program with other mainstream resources, including health, social services, and employment programs for which our clients experiencing homelessness may be eligible. These services are coordinated through formal and informal systems among area service providers. This year (2021), 38 households were placed in housing after direct contact with the case manager. Of these: 5 households were housed via TBRA (Tenant Based Rental Assistance). 6 families were housed via Our Neighbors' Place Transitional Housing for Families. 106 households were assisted through housing counseling appointments with our Case Manager. 40283 0 38234 DAY CENTER Functioning as a drop-in center for those in need, the Day Center is staffed by volunteer Guest Coordinators, a Case Manager, and the Executive Director. This Day Center team functions as advocate "navigators," helping connect applicable internal and external community resources with those who call or come by in person. The Day Center supports all other programming for Our Neighbors' Place (Backpack Program, Transitional Housing, and the Closet) while also providing a meeting space for other organizations such as WestCAP and Pierce County Veterans Office. With this full-time team in place, ONP has improved and streamlined continuity of service in a way that allows for much greater Day Center service utilization. In 2021, we had a high level of usage with 4,085 points of contact. In terms of resources provided, we have witnessed noteworthy increases across several categories. The number of food resources provided remained high in 2021 at 740 points of contact. This can be attributed to several partnerships Our Neighbor's Place has forged with both Panera Bread (Hudson WI location), Pierce County Hunger Prevention Council, the River Falls Community Food Pantry, and YMCA Camp St Croix - all of which donate on a regular basis. In other service categories, the number of referrals to outside agencies was also up. Service categories include Shower (88), Laundry (61), Resource Referrals (754), The Day Center also dispensed 94 gas cards and 30 taxi vouchers to help with transportation to employment and medical visits. Finally, the number of clients utilizing case management services and shelter referrals again increased over 2020 (690). Moreover, as we continue to cater to the needs of children, we offer both hope and a tangible response to the growing problem of childhood poverty in Wisconsin. The Day Center also continued to serve as a pickup location for the Backpack Program in 2021. 12159 0 67696 BACKPACK PROGRAM The Our Neighbor's Place Backpack Program, a durable partnership with the River Falls School District and Ezekiel Lutheran Church, continued to be our most visible community program. The Rotary Club and other community groups and foundations gave substantially to this program over the course of 2020-21 school year. The program also continues to boast the most volunteers of any ONP program. These backpacks deliver enough food for a family of four for one weekend each week during the school year. In 2020-21 school year, the program had over 90 students enrolled. From Sept 2020 - May 2021, we delivered 2,261 backpacks. Those backpacks included 16,544 pounds of non-perishable food and 2,300 vouchers for perishable food (milk, bread, meat, produce, eggs). Additionally, 2021 continued the Summer Backpack Program. Partnering with the River Falls Lions Club (who provided funding and volunteers), the traditional school year program was extended throughout the summer. From June - August 2021, 200 backpacks were distributed. Those backpacks included 1,364 pounds of food and vouchers for perishable food (milk, bread, meat, produce, eggs). 88008 0 87689 COMMUNITY CLOSET Connecting people with free and reduced price clothing is the essential function of the ONP Community Closet. The Closet at 122 W. Johnson St. provides an important complementary service to the core function of the Day Center. Often, clients present themselves at the Day Center without sufficient clothing to meet their daily living needs. The ability to walk down the hallway to the Closet and offer clients high-quality garments they can feel proud to wear helps fulfill the ONP mission. In 2021, the Closet provided 550 free clothing vouchers to clients. 88008 0 87689 216234 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 WI X Clarity Bookkeeping LLC 6512102436 428 Minnesota St Ste 500 Saint Paul MN 55101 Shelly Smith Executive Director 40 0 X 59800 0 0 Jackie Cobian Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Zane Heinselman Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Stacia Johnson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jane Kelley Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Julie Larson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Thomas Pedersen Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mike Pepin Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Veronica Pettigrew Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Shepherd Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Janet Wilson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tanya Franta President 1 X X 0 0 0 Kurt Helmrick Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Brian Manion Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Shari Frisbie Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 59800 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 500 0 0 389372 85022 389872 Transitional Housing rental incom 624200 48396 48396 0 0 The Closet sales 448190 2689 2689 0 0 Tenant Laundry Income 624200 676 676 0 0 0 0 0 0 51761 2253 0 0 2253 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11456 500 2751 8705 0 8705 Kwik Trip Cards fundraiser 624200 5149 0 0 5149 Miscellaneous Invome 624200 175 0 0 175 PPP Loan Forgiveness 624200 22200 22200 0 0 0 0 0 0 27524 480115 73961 0 16282 59796 17940 40665 1191 60067 54281 5786 0 9173 5528 3645 0 10620 740 9880 0 179 32 87 60 5676 2801 1956 919 20141 16794 3347 0 1706 25 1641 40 3242 0 3242 0 16394 8960 7434 0 4675 0 4675 0 Client Assistance 87568 87568 0 0 Supplies and Maintenance 25928 21184 0 4744 Dues and Subscriptions 425 0 425 0 Bank charges and credit card fees 1365 146 1219 0 719 235 484 0 307674 216234 84486 6954 157991 31335 334895 517337 35000 32000 5211 13401 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1719 2537 668452 84333 202124 584119 1275 1336 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 738215 1182065 2567 2599 0 838 1335 0 0 0 292626 22000 0 16173 16365 41578 312925 X 661637 837140 35000 32000 696637 869140 738215 1182065 172441 62 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 203507 273881 265675 452891 388090 1584044 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 203507 273881 265675 452891 388090 1584044 192250 1391794 175 231 581 1104 2253 4344 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3459 2654 1955 6000 14068 1602456 104380 0.86854 0.80481 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Kwik Trip Card Sales, $5149; Transitional Housing Laundry Machines, $676; Miscellaneous income, $175.
