How will the target population be made aware of the program ? The target group is made aware of the program through a wide variety of opportunities as follows: • Presentations to community civic and church groups • Participation/networking with other social service organizations • Presentations and bulletin announcements to Churches • Law Enforcement agencies • Current and former residents word of mouth • Annual mailings to Churches and service providers regarding services provided Media opportunities including newspaper articles, quarterly Samaritan Center Newsletter, distribution of brochures, fundraising activities , radio & TV talk shows . 6 . How will the program be accessible to target population (i. e. , location , transportation , hours of operation ) ? Samaritan Center holds an orientation/screening for those families seeking shelter. This must be completed prior to a family moving into the facility and these are done by appointment. These families are usually able to transport themselves or secure transportation through a family member, friend etc . On the rare occasion that they are unable to reach Cls on their own , we will provide transportation via the Center Van . Once a family has moved into the Center, if they do not have their own vehicle, we encourage them to be resourceful in attempts to find transportation through the community bus, or family/friends . If they are unsuccessful , we do provide transportation to their case related appointments (ex . Medical , employment, school , court, off premises educational workshops and Samaritan Center planned Social Activities) . We do not provide transport for personal outings . We are very fortunate to periodically have vehicles donated to our program . We in turn, donate the vehicle to a resident that is without transportation . This is an assurance that when they graduate from our program they will continue to have transportation to their employment, necessary appointments, .groceries, etc . 7
