Catholic Charities of The Diocese of Palm Beach <br /> Samaritan Center <br /> 6. How will the program be accessible to target population (i.e., location, transportation, <br /> hours of operation)? <br /> Samaritan Center holds an orientation/screening for those families seeking shelter. This includes <br /> drug testing and background checks for all family members over the age of 18 . This must be <br /> completed prior to a family moving into the facility and these are done by appointment. These <br /> families are usually able to transport themselves or secure transportation through a family <br /> member, friend, etc . On the rare occasion that they are unable to reach us on their own, we will <br /> 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 <br /> them to be resourceful in attempts to find transportation through the community bus, or <br /> family/friends. If they are unsuccessful, we do provide transportation to their case related <br /> appointments (ex . Medical, employment, school, court, off premises educational workshops and <br /> Samaritan Center planned Social Activities). We do not provide transport for personal outings . <br /> We are very fortunate to periodically have vehicles donated to our program. We in turn, donate <br /> the vehicle to a resident that is without transportation to their employment, necessary <br /> appointments, groceries, etc. . <br /> 8 <br />
