The Mary Isaak Center Emergency Shelter (MIC-ES) is an 80-bed adult emergency shelter serving adults experiencing homelessness; total beds have been reduced to comply with CDC social distancing guidelines. In addition to basic needs, shelter guests receive strengths-based case management, access to medical and mental health care, financial literacy, employment resources, and housing search support. In FY 2019-20, we sheltered 494 homeless adults at MIC-ES. Our Kids First Family Shelter (KFFS) provides emergency shelter for families with children. KFFS consists of 11 bedrooms; capacity may vary depending on CDC social distancing guidelines. The KFFS program provides individual case management and supportive services designed to help homeless families increase resiliency, develop independent living skills, and obtain/maintain income and permanent housing. In FY 2019-20, we sheltered 101 people at KKFS, including 56 children and 30 families. Supportive Housing: COTS Supportive Housing Programs provide permanent, stable housing and case management to individuals and families who need some level of supportive services to remain stably housed. Last year, across all COTS supportive housing programs, 94% of participants remained permanently housed. Our Integrity Housing Program provides affordable shared housing and case management to individuals and families. Our inventory consists of a mix of properties, including master-leased properties, city-owned properties, and two homes owned by COTS. We housed 113 adults & children in this program in FY 2019-20. Our Community Based PSH (HUD PSH) provides housing and supportive case management to adults who have been chronically homeless. This program offers a safe, supportive environment for clients to stabilize their lives while improving life skills and addressing their mental, physical, and emotional needs. The goal of COTS HUD-PSH program is to enable participants to live as independently as possible during their residence. We housed 21 adults in this program in FY 2019-20. Mary Isaak Center Permanent Supportive Housing (MIC-PSH) opened in February 2019 as an 11-room housing wing inside our flagship building in Petaluma. As a partnership with St. Joseph Health, MIC-PSH serves clients with chronic health conditions who have been referred by the healthcare system. With the support of safe, stable housing, effective case management, and on-site services, clients are better able to lead healthier lives and decrease the need for costly hospital stays and municipal services. In FY 2019-20, we housed 16 adults in this program. In addition to Emergency Shelters, Supportive Housing, and Marys Table, COTS programs include the following.Rapid Rehousing: The affordable housing crisis in Sonoma County requires creative housing solutions. COTS Rapid Rehousing (RRH) Program assists individuals and families to become stably housed through short-term financial assistance and supportive services designed to help clients regain financial self-sufficiency. Case Management includes budgeting help, referrals to local resources, employment assistance, credit repair services, and other needed support. In fiscal year 2019-20, 240 adults & children were served in our Rapid Rehousing Program.Outreach: COTS Outreach Program focuses on connecting people living in encampments, streets, and vehicles with much-needed support including shelter and housing resources, meals, legal advocacy, medical care, substance abuse treatment and other services. Our Outreach Specialists work to meet people where they are, both physically and situationally, to build trust and access to the services that meet their needs. In FY 2019-20, 482 unsheltered individuals were assisted through this program. Homelessness Prevention: COTS Homelessness Prevention Program provides targeted short-term case management for people who are at risk of losing their current housing. Services include short-term financial assistance, housing search support, housing stability planning, employment and legal services. In FY 2019-20, 109 individuals were assisted through this program. Recuperative Care: COTS Recuperative Care Program, which opened in January 2020, offers post-acute care for homeless individuals who have been exited from the hospital and who need a space to recover from injury or illness. A partnership between COTS, St. Joseph Health and Kaiser Permanente, COTS Recuperative Care offers short-term residential care that allows homeless individuals the opportunity to rest in a safe environment while accessing COTS supportive services. The goals of this program are to reduce hospital readmissions, ER visits, and hospital length-of-stays while increasing access to primary care. In FY,10 people received recuperative care through this program. Marys Table (Petaluma Kitchen): Our kitchen, Marys Table, provides fresh, healthy, homemade meals 365 days a year to anyone experiencing hunger, in addition to our shelter residents. COTS adheres to strict COVID-19 safety protocols, ensuring all Mary's Table diners are kept safe and nourished. In FY 2019-20, we served 85,441 nutritious meals to our communitys most vulnerable citizens.
