Mission and programs · 2023

• DAY PROGRAM FOR MEN STRUGGLING WITH HOMELESSNESS THE LARGEST PROGRAM OF THE CENTER IS THE DAY PROGRAM FOR MEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. THE DAY PROGRAM IS A -DROP-IN" PROGRAM THAT WELCOMES GUESTS TO THE CENTER IN ORDER TO MEET THEIR IMMEDIATE PHYSICAL NEEDS AND TO PROVIDE BOTH CASE MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SUPPORT TO ASSIST THEM IN IDENTIFYING THE OBSTACLES THEY FACE IN RECLAIMING THEIR LIVES AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING THOSE OBSTACLES. OPEN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 7:30 AM TO 1:00 PM, WITH SPECIAL PROGRAMS IN THE AFTERNOON, THE DAY PROGRAM PROVIDES A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH MEN WHO STRUGGLE WITH HOMELESSNESS CAN DEVELOP THE PERSONAL STRATEGIES AND SKILLS THEY NEED TO MOVE TOWARD STABILITY, PRODUCTIVITY, AND MEANING IN THEIR LIVES. ONE ADDITIONAL WAY IN WHICH THE CENTER HONORS ITS COMMITMENT TO RESPECT THE DIGNITY OF EACH OF THEIR HOMELESS GUESTS IS BY MAKING SHOWERS AVAILABLE BOTH DURING THE DAY PROGRAM AND IN THE EVENING AS PART OF THE HYPOTHERMIA PROGRAM. THE CENTER ALSO PROVIDES THE MEN WITH A DAILY LAUNDRY SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CENTER MAKES AVAILABLE A "CLOTHING CLOSET" THAT PROVIDES MEN WITH ITEMS OF CLOTHING. THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK OF THE CENTER IS ACHIEVED THROUGH CASE MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS GUIDED BY THE "THE BETTER LIFE PYRAMID." THIS DEVELOPMENTAL PLAN, WHEN FOLLOWED DILIGENTLY AND WITH SUPPORT, HAS PROVEN TO LEAD MEN OUT OF HOMELESSNESS TO A LIFE OF INDEPENDENCE, STABILITY, AND MEANING. THE CASE MANAGEMENT TEAM ("CMT") PROVIDES THIS SUPPORT ALONG WITH REFERRAL SERVICES TO HELP THEIR GUESTS RECOGNIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. THE CASE MANAGERS LISTEN CAREFULLY TO EACH GUEST AND FORMULATE AN INDIVIDUAL PLAN TO GUIDE HIM ON THE JOURNEY TO A BETTER LIFE. FREQUENTLY THIS INCLUDES A REFERRAL TO ONE OF OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES, SUCH AS HOUSING, REHABILITATION FOR ADDICTION, JOB TRAINING, AND MENTAL OR PHYSICAL HEALTH, OR SIMPLY OBTAINING AN ID OR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MEN WHO FACE HOMELESSNESS IS PROVIDED IN DAILY SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS, BI-MONTHLY PEACE BUILDING ASSEMBLIES, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE CIRCLES, AND SPIRITUALITY/FAITH SHARING GROUP, AND WEEKLY PEACE CIRCLE MEETINGS. ON A REGULAR BASIS, THE DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FACILITATES A RECIDIVISM PREVENTION WORKSHOP. THESE PROGRAMS OFFER A SPECIALIZED OPPORTUNITY FOR MEN TO MOVE FORWARD TO STABILITY, PRODUCTIVITY, AND MEANING IN LIFE.

• OTHER PROGRAMS IN ADDITION TO NEIGHBORING GONZAGA STUDENTS, THE CENTER WELCOMES STUDENT GROUPS FROM COLLEGES AND HIGH SCHOOLS (LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY) TO ITS IMMERSION SERVICE/LEARNING PROGRAM FOR A WEEK OF SERVICE LEARNING. STUDENTS VOLUNTEER IN THE CENTER PREPARING MEALS, MEETING THEIR GUESTS, HELPING IN THE FOOD PANTRY, AND SUPPORTING OTHER SERVICES THAT WE OFFER. IN ADDITION, THESE VISITORS ALSO ENGAGE IN REFLECTION ON THEIR EXPERIENCE AND HOW IT HAS INFORMED THEIR VIEWS OF HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY, AND HUNGER. LAUNCHED IN FISCAL YEAR 2022 AS A PILOT PROGRAM, THE MCKENNA ACADEMY (THE "ACADEMY") GRADUATED ITS SECOND COHORT OF MEN IN FISCAL YEAR 2023. CONSISTENT WITH THE BETTER LIFE PYRAMID AND COMPLEMENTING THE CENTER'S DAY PROGRAM, THE ACADEMY PROVIDES TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOWARD MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT AND STABLE HOUSING, INCLUDING LIFE SKILLS, FINANCIAL LITERACY, DIGITAL INSTRUCTION, CAREER COUNSELING, AND OTHER RELATED SERVICES. THE ACADEMY PROGRAM WAS ENHANCED BY PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER AGENCIES THAT SERVE THEIR POPULATION. THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE CENTER. VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE THE HEARTS AND HANDS THAT MAKE THE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AT THE CENTER POSSIBLE. FROM SERVING BREAKFAST OR LUNCH, TO DISTRIBUTING MAIL, VOLUNTEERS TOUCH THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE. BOTH THE FOOD PANTRY AND CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION PROGRAMS ARE STAFFED ALMOST ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.
