ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF BOTH PROGRAMS ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. AVENUES ALSO WORKED COLLABORATIVELY TO PLAN AND LAUNCH THE SUBURBAN HOST HOME PROGRAM, A NEW COMMUNITY-BASED SHORT-TERM HOUSING PROGRAM FOR HOMELESS YOUTH OF THE SUBURBS.

SHELTER AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM FOR 16 HOMELESS YOUTH AGES 16 - 21 AT AVENUES' HOUSE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS: AVENUES SUPPORTED 158 YOUTH IN ITS NORTH MINNEAPOLIS SHELTER AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM IN 2010-11.

WE DO THIS THROUGH OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, AS WELL AS THROUGH STAFF TRAINING AND PROGRAM EXPANSION. DURING THIS PAST YEAR, WE EXPANDED OUR INTEGRATIVE HEALTH PROGRAMMING, GIVING YOUTH ACCESS TO A PRACTITIONER WHO OFFERS MIND-BODY HEALING WORK, ENERGY WORK, AND SKILL-BUILDING IN SELF-CARE AND COPING WITH STRESS.

ALMOST 70% OF YOUTH TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR "AFTER-CARE" SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, CONTINUING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH AVENUES AFTER MOVING OUT. | Description |

| Description | GLBT HOST HOME PROGRAM FOR 10 GAY, LESBIAN, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER YOUTH AGES 16 - 22 IN SAFE, SUPPORTIVE, VOLUNTEER HOMES WITH ADULT ROLE MODELS: DURING 2010-11, THE GLBT HOST HOME PROGRAM HELD THREE ROUNDS OF HOST APPLICATIONS AND TRAINING, WHICH SECURED A TOTAL OF ELEVEN NEW HOST HOMES. AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THE PROGRAM HAD 24 HOST HOMES SCREENED AND TRAINED TO PROVIDE SHORT-TERM HOUSING FOR GLBT HOMELESS YOUTH. THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR THE HOST HOMES WITH YOUTH ON AN ONGOING CONSULTING BASIS (PHONE CALLS, EMAILS AND MEETINGS, AS NEEDED) AND THROUGH MONTHLY MEETINGS AT THE HOME WITH THE YOUTH, YOUTH'S CASE MANAGER, HOSTS AND PROGRAM MANAGER. THE YOUTH RECEIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FROM THE REFERRING AGENCY OR A VOLUNTEER CASE MANAGER ARRANGED BY AVENUES. FOURTEEN YOUTH PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM IN FY 2011 AND STAYED AN AVERAGE OF 8-9 MONTHS IN THEIR HOST HOMES. DURING THE YEAR, EIGHT YOUTH MOVED OUT OF HOST HOMES INTO OTHER LIVING SITUATIONS. BECAUSE WE WERE CONCERNED TWO OF THOSE YOUTHS' NEW HOUSING SITUATIONS WERE NOT STABLE, WE CONCLUDE THAT 75% OF THE YOUTH MOVED INTO STABLE HOUSING. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE TWO YOUTH EVENTUALLY SECURED HER OWN APARTMENT THROUGH A MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM TWO MONTHS AFTER LEAVING HER HOST HOME. THE GLBT HOST HOME PROGRAM PROVIDES REGULAR CONSULTATION WITH AND SUPPORT OF OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT ARE EXPLORING OR CREATING A HOST HOME PROGRAM, BOTH WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. | Description |
