How will the program be accessible to target population (ie., location, transportation, hours of <br /> operation)? <br /> Samaritan Center holds an orientation/screening for those families seeking shelter. This includes drug <br /> testing and background checks for all family members over the age of 18. This must be completed prior <br /> to a family moving into the facility and these are done by appointment. These families are usually able <br /> to transport themselves or secure transportation through a family member, friend, etc. On the rare <br /> occasion that they are unable to reach us on their own, we will provide transportation via the Center Van. <br /> Once a family has moved into the Center, if they do not have their own vehicle, we encourage them to be <br /> resourceful in attempts to find transportation through the community bus, or family/friends. If they are <br /> unsuccessful, we do provide transportation to their case related appointments (ex. Medical, employment, <br /> school, court, off premises educational workshops and Samaritan Center planned Social Activities). We <br /> do not provide transport for personal outings. We are very fortunate to periodically have vehicles donated <br /> to our program. We in tum, donate the vehicle to a resident that is without transportation to their <br /> employment, necessary appointments, groceries, etc. . <br /> 7 <br />
