Located in census tract 11, the Gabbard Memorial Health Room addresses the tour Weed & Seed identified risk factors including extreme economic deprivation, family management problems/conflict, early academic failure, and early initiation of problem behavior. The Health Room provides clients with access to the basic health care services that help to fill the gap in services, stabilize the client's health situation and allow them the opportunity to focus on the social and financial problems that typically accompany homelessness. Established in 1989, the Gabbard Memorial Health Room is a primary care medical clinic, for the residents of our shelters, other CCMM clients and for individuals living on the street. Ali services are provided at no charge without regard to race, color, ethnic origin, age, sex, religion, sexual preference, political beliefs or disabilities. Staffed by volunteer doctors and nurses from the community, the goal of this vital program is to provide either primary care for acute problems or to supply appropriate referrals for chronic needs. As funding allows, prescriptions are filled at no charge. Specifically, we are requesting funds for a portion of the salary of the Director of Health and Human Services and underwriting for a por~inn of our operating expenses. Terms and Conditions It is understood and agreed by the undersigned that: I. Funds granted as a result of this request are to be expended for the purposes set tbrth herein and in accordance with all State and Federal Regulations and res~-ictions. 2.

In FY2004, the Health Room recorded 728 free patient visits, successfully serving 455 clients seeking assistance. The average value of each patient visit was $159 30; the average cost was $59.57; and the value-added was $99. 72. Weed & Seed"s investment offers the homeless and very low income person who has no insurance coverage access to at least one private visit with a State licensed physician; the support of other appropriate medical staff (such as nurses who take the patient's temperature and blood pressure and assist the physician); access to the cost of medications when not available from donated samples or other sources; appropriate referral and follow-up services; and the office space and equipment necessary for the physician to provide services and to store donated medical supplies and drug samples. Patients normally wait less than an hour (substantially less than required in a hospital emergency room or emergency clinic) and receive a face-to-face visit with the attending physician. The visit usually lasts 10 to 15 minutes. When a donated medical supply or drag sample is available, the doctor may immediately fill an individual's medical needs at the Gabbard Health Room; or the doctor may elect to refer the patient to a pharmacy and~or other medical service provider (including hospitals, emergency clinics, and other health professionals) for appropriate treatment and/or additional services. Often Metro Ministries can pay fur referral appointments with additional funding it receives from other funding sources (i.e. Christus Fund, when available). Specific sections of the budget are justified below. Personnel Costs: Doctors and nurses from our community volunteer all professional labor and hands-on medical activity within the Gabbard Health Room. In fact, Fire & Wheeler, PC reported in our year- ending September 30, 2004 Annual Audit that donated medical services amounted to $40,304. Paid staff also helps with hands-on support within the Gabbard Health Room. Metro Ministries provides up to 3 paid staff in direct support of the clerical duties related to the health room. This ensures continuous and consistent service delivery to all area agencies who refer patients and to the street clients who need the services of the Gabbard Health Room. Paid staff document each client/doctor visit; schedules professionals ~vho work in the Gabbard Health Room, and handle all paperwork associated with foundation expenditures that help pay for referrals and doctor- prescribed non-donated medical needs. Metro Ministries' administrative staff assists with the production of monthly service and programmatic reports that support the medical activities, backs up reimbursement requests, and promotes the positive impact of the Gabbard Health Room on the community. Olaeratin~ Costs and Other Costs: Metro Ministries will use Weed & Seed funds to pay for any insurance costs associated directly with the Gabbard Health Room which is the program's second largest out-of-pocket cost other than personnel. Corpus Christi Metro Ministries CommuniW Needs Assessment The 2002 Homeless Issues Partnership Gap Analysis contained in their annual application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development point in time survey estimated that 1,896 individuals were in need of health care services with a current inventory o£ services of only 948, leaving a gap/unmet need o£ 948. The survey went on to estimate that 1,104 persons in t'amilies with children were in need of health care services with a current inventory of services of only 552, Ieaving a gap/unmet need of 552. The Gabbard Memotdal Health Room, providing 600+ free patient visits annually, is a vital part of the health care system for the homeless population of Corpus Chr/sti. More recently, the 2004 United Way of the Coastal Bend sponsored the Coastal Bend 12 County Needs Assessment and found that: · the 12-county region has an increased incidence of several health problems such as low birth weight babies, diabetes, hypertension and obesity · almost 10% of the households surveyed reported being unable to immunize their children. · residents in the 12 ~:ounty region have far fewer opportunities for access to qualified medical personnel. · the high number of children and adults that do not have adequate healthcare insurance coverage results in many unmet medical needs that worsen without timely care. Corpus Christi Metro Ministries Project Narrative 1. Problem Statement Corpus Christi Metro Ministries (CCMM) is seeking funds in the Weed and Seed Site I North category. Located in census tract 11, the Oabbard Memorial Health Room helps to increase access to social and health programs and provides for the economic development and enhancement of the homeless of our community. Established in 1989, the Gabbard Memorial Health Room is a primary care medical clinic, for the residents of our shelters, other CCMM clients and for individuals living on the street. Staffed by volunteer doctors and nurses l'rom the corrtmunity, the goal of this vital program is to provide either primary care for acute problems or to supply appropriate referrals fl0r chronic needs. As funding allows, prescriptions for our health room patients are filled at no charge. This proposal seeks funds for four specific categories of activities in our Gabbard Memorial Health Room, a primary care medical clinic for residents oI' our shelters, other CCMM clients, area homeless providers, and for those living on the street. Specifically, we are requesting funds for a portion of the salary of the Director and Residential Manager of Health and Hmnan Services; and underwriting for a portion of the operating expenses. CCMM is an active member of the Homeless issues Partnership (HIP). Each year, HIP conducts a point in time needs survcy in our community. The most recent survey indicated a gap in health care services for the homeless population. In their year 2003 submission to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, HiP ranked health care Ibr individuals and persons in families with children as a need in our community. The Gabbard Memorial Health Room helps to fill this gap in services to the homeless of our community. Director of Health and Human Services CCMM is requesting funds to undepa'rite 6.36% of the annual salary of Ann Walters, the Director of Health and Human Services. A nineteen-year employee of CCMM, Ms. Walters has an extraordinao' awareness of the homeless population and their needs. An integral part of the Health Rooms' success, Ms Walters' duties include but are not limited to coordinating the weekly health clinics and monthly eye clinics; working side by side with the volunteer doctors and nurses; matching donated medical supplies with clients needs; coordinating outreach programs such as health lairs and screenings; and she is one of the few employees licensed handle prescription drugs on the premises. Operating CCMM is requesting funds to help underwrite the operating costs of the Gabbard Memorial Health Room. Specifically, insurance costs which include general and liability insurance. 2. Goals of the Project The goal of the proposed project is to help underwrite the ever increasing cost of operating the Gabbard Memorial Health Room. It is estimated that CCMM will provide 600+ free patient visits in 2005. In 2004, the Health Room recorded 728 free patient visits, successfully serving nearly 455 clients seeking assistance. The average value of each patient visit was $159.30; the average cost was $59.57; and the value-added was $99.72. The general goal of the Gabbard Memorial Health Room is to provide either primary care for acute problems, or appropriate referral for chronic needs. As funding and in-kind donations allow, prescriptions for health room patients are filled at no charge. At least 95% of the estimated 400 patients who come to CCMM for medical attention will share their medical history, described their symptoms or health needs, and see a State-licensed doctor of medicine or optometry. Where indicated, patients will leave the Health Room with a physician's advice, instructions, written prescription or with medication provided under a physician's direction at the time of treatment. CCMM estimates that we will provide 600+ tree patient ,,isits in the next year. Over 50% of the patients will require repeat visits to the Health Room. This goal is a first step towards the ultimate goal self-sufficiency and permanent housing. In order to address the other problems that typically accompany homelessness, the clients must first stabilize their health. The majority or' the homeless population does not have access to consistent, reliable health care. Therefore, the hmneless ol:ten suffer ftom a lack of preventative health care services and/or often suffer from untreated ckronic illnesses. The Gabbard Health Room helps to alleviate the four risk i'actors identified by the Weed & Seed Grant Program including extreme economic deprivation, family trmnagement problems/conflict, early academic failure, early initiation of problem behavior. The Gabbard Memorial Health Room provides clients with access to the basic health care services that help to fill the gap in services, stabilize the client's health situation and allow them the opportunity to focus on the social and financial problems that typically accompany homelessness. With their health stabilized, the homeless clients are then able to access the other services offered at CCMM. Specifically, clients may then access our Vineyard Employment Program that matches clients with jobs allowing for the economic development and enhancement of the client as well ~ the community. Additionally, clients may also access educational opportunities with other service providers in the local continuum of care. The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured recently reported on the sociological effects of health care and health insurance. Three major findings of the Commission include: 1) that the uninsured receive less preventative care, are diagnosed at more advanced disease stages and once diagnosed, they receive less therapeutic care; 2) having health insurance would reduce the mortality rates of'the uninsured by 10%-15%; and 3) better health would improve annual earnings by about 10%-30% and would also increase educational attainment. 3. Objectives Gabbard Health Room strives to provide the homeless and uninsured poor people with free and accessible health care with counseling for personal wellness and prevention, and with a vision clinic in a setting conveniently co-located with other, familiar human services. These services further an individual's likelihood to find permanent employment, become independent, and maintain stability in the community. 4_ Strategies or Methods to be Used The Gabbard Memorial Health Room provides the homeless and uninsured poor people with free and accessible health care~ with counseling for personal wellness and prevention, in a setting conveniently co-located with other, familiar human services. As the Gabbard Memorial Health Room is an established and successful program of CCMM, we will continue to operate the weekly health clinic, monthly eye clinic, and special screening and educational opportunities as needed. Clients may be referred by other CCMM programs, other area human service providers, or self-referred to the Health Room. In terms of the involvement of clients in the program, CCMM hms a formerly homeless individual currently serving on our board of directors. To the extent that we are able, we encourage clients to participate in various projects of the agency. We also make an effort to utilize the skills of our clients, rather than hiring outside contractors. The clients benefit from the opportunity to earn an income, develop work habits, and be assessed by the employment director, who may then recommend them to prospective employers. 5. Target Population The Gabbard Memorial Health Room is a primary care medical clinic for residents of our shelters, other CCMM clients, area homeless providers, and lbr those living on the street. 6. Continuation and Replication The concept of the Gabbard Health Room could be easily replicated with the appropriate resources. In its fourteen years of operation, the success of the Gabbard Memorial Health Room is due in large part to the generous donation of time from area doctors and nurses and donated medical supplies. Additionally, CCMM actively solicits public and private grants and donations as well as hosting special fundraising events. 7_ Expected Benefits to Individuals and Families and Self-Evaluation Methods The individuals and families served by the CCMM Gabbard Memorial Health Room will benefit in that they are provided with increased access to social and health programs and the opportunity to stabilize their health thereby enhancing their economic development and becoming contributing, self-sufficient members of the community. This year, CCMM estimates that we will provide 600+ free patient visits. CCMM regularly evaluates the success of the Gabbard Memorial Health Room. Our objective is that at least 95% of the estimated 400 patients who come to CCMM tbr medical attention will share their medical history, described their symptoms or health needs, and see a State-licensed doctor of medicine or optometry Where indicated, patients will leave the Health Room with a physician's advice, instructions, written prescription or with medication provided under a physician's direction at the time of treatment. CCMM estimates that we will provide 600+ free patient visits in the next year. Nearly 50% of the patients will require repeat visits to the Health Room. Since 1989, doctors and nurses have voluntarily provided 9,135 patient visits to 2,559 individuals. Corpus Christi Metro Ministries History and Capability Mission Statement Established in 1983, Corpus Christi Metro Ministries, Inc. (CCMM) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides an integrated spectrum of services to the hungry,, homeless and unemployed of our community. CCMM keeps administrative costs to a minimum. Eighty-five cents of each dollar raised go directly to client services. Our mission is to help create a community that is free from hunger and homelessness. All services are provided at no charge without regard to race, color, ethnic origin, age, sex, religion, sexual preference, political beliefs or disabilities. Brief Historv In 1982, acting on the concern of Mayor Luther Jones, local religious leaders both lay and clergy organized to meet a growing city-wide demand for basic humanitarian assistance to the poor of Corpus Cl-u-isti. At this time, the city did offer a broad spectrum of human services funded either with tax dollars or through charitable giving. Unfortunately, a tragic combination of arbitrary rules, the imposition of religious doctrines and narrow specialization coupled with often daunting requirements for documenting one's need excluded many of the poor from accessing these much-needed services. Despite the obvious and urgent demand, entrenched agencies resisted appeals to relax their requirements on clients Corpus Christi was ripe for an innovative, open-door approach to helping its less fortunate neighbors. This dream became a reality when Corpus Christi Metro Ministries (CCMM) was founded in late 1982. Through its varied programs, CCMM evolved over the years to effectively serve the broad range of needs faced by the homeless cornnmnity. Since its founding, CCMM has rapidly become the preeminent service provider to the homeless population of the Coastal Bend. In its wide range of services and facilities, CCMM is unparalleled in its outreach to the least fortunate members of our local communities. Through its compassionate service and effective programs, CCMM is making Corpus Christi a safer, healthier and better place for all who call it home. Sources of Suoport CCMM enjoys broad-based financial and volunteer support from throughout the region. Due to the rapidly increasing demand l:br our services over the last few years, our budget must be supplemented in order to continue to best serve the public. Specifically, we actively pursue private and public grants and donations, participate in area speaker's bureaus, and sponsor an annual fundraising dinner. All funds raised through this program are used to support our projects to feed and shelter the homeless and how-income people in Corpus Christi and the surrounding five-county area. CCMM enjoys broad-based financial support. CCMM actively pursues private and public grants and donations, participates in area speaker's bureaus, and sponsors two major annual fundraisers: a fall dinner and a spring dance. CCMM keeps administrative costs low, investing 85% (84.6¢ of each $1 raised) on direct client services. In the FY2004 audit, the cash revenue received of $1,188,924 came from government grants I3.7%, individual donors 23.9%, special events 20.2%. charitable foundations 23.6%, United Way 8.1%, religious organizations 5.9%, business 4. I%, and civic groups .5%. In FY2004. 18 of the 21 CCMM board members supported the agency mission with financial contributions totaling $56,411. This represents an 1 l% increase in cash support over the previous fiscal year. All 21 board members offered many hours each month in their time and talents. The FY2004 audit reflected total volunteer services valued at $282,355, the equivalent of 21 entry-level full-time employees. Corpus Christi Metro Ministries Program Profiles In Fiscal Year 2004, Corpus Christi Metro Ministries (CCMM) served 3,797 individuals who were either homeless or very low-income. Over 96.8% of CCMM clients are Nueces County residents, 8% are residents of the 4 surrounding counties and 2.4 are from outside the 5-county area. 1. Loaves and Fishes Loaves and Fishes is a full-service free cafeteria, a member of the Texas Restaurant Association and The Coastal Bend Restaurant Association. We serve three hot meals each weekday to homeless individuals. Lunch and dinner are served on Saturdays, and one large meal is served on Sunday afternoon. Goal By satisf~ving peoples basic needs for food, clothing, safety, and work, reduce the incidence of unacceptable social behavior that is driven by people's instinct to satis~ those most basic needs. Objective a minimum of 98% of the estimated 3,200 individuals who approach CCMM asking for food will accept a prepared meal as an alternative to finding their fbod in ways the community does not accept. Based on meals servcd in the past 3 years, CCMM estimates that 142,000-152,000 meals will be served in 2005. Outcome During FY2004, Loaves and Fishes successfully served the 98.8% of the 3,009 new people that approached CCMM for a nutritious meal. Since 1983, nearly 3.1 million meals have been prepared and served by Loaves and Fishes to the hungry of the community. A total of 160,546 plates of food were served. No more than 36 individuals were refused service, all for justified causes. In FY2004, the average value of each meal (i.e. plate of food) was $3.40 and the average value ['or each individual served was $I81.16. The average cost of each meal ,,vas $1.88 and the average cost for each individual served was $ I00.30. The value-added was $1.52 per meal and $80. 86 per individual served 2. Rainbow House Rainbow House initially provides emergency shelter to homeless women and children. After demonstrating serious desire to break free from homelessness, the women are then eligible to participate in our transitional housing program. Spouse-abuse and abandonment are prevalent among the women seeking shelter. Through various programs of CCMM women have access to job matching and referrals, meals and clothing, pre-school child care, primary health care and other services. When ready to transition back into the community, women are assisted with locating affordable permanent housing, money management and budgeting strategies, parenting classes, and other appropriate referrals. Goal Formerly homeless women and children will live as normal people do in the community of their choice. Low-income people with permanent limitations on their ability to live independently will live in monitored, supervised or semi-independent housing arrangements. Objective CCMM estimates that 225 homeless women and children will seek emergency shelter in 2005. Of these women and children, 60% will sign a transitional housing program contract. Of those signing the contract, 60% will become self-sufficient and enter into independent or cooperative living arrangements. Of the 225 women, 40% will remain in the emergency shelter progratn, of which 50% will take a minimum of two significant actions to increase the likelihood of independent or interdependent living, or to gain better control of their mental illness or substance abuse. Outcome Since 1985, 6,805 women and children have found an opportunity to begin rebuilding their lives while living at Rainbow House. In FY2004, Rainbow House provided shelter to 130 women and 83 children (6,491 nights of shelter), while turning away 97 women and 58 children for a variety of reasons including lack of bed space, male children over the age of 14, program ineligibility and prior non-compliance. The average value of each night of shelter was $35.76; the average cost was $32.50; and the value-added was $3.26. 3. Rustic House Rustic House is an emergency shelter for mentally and physically disabled homeless men and homeless men over 60 years of age with an optimum capacity of i6 beds, and a peak of 28. These sub-groups of the homeless population are as vulnerable on the streets as are women and children. In Rustic House, men are provided with all the services available throughout CCMM and the conmmnity. No other shelter in the city readily accepts the mentally-impaired homeless. Additionally, via co-case management between agencies, CCMM offers Rustic House's transitional support services both in-house or through the continuum of care. Goal Formerly homeless physically /mentally disabled men and men over the age of 60 will live as normal people do in the community of their choice. Low-income people with permanent limitations on their ability to live independently will live in monitored, supervised or semi-independent housing arrangements Objective CCMM estimates that 170 homeless men will seek emergency shelter in 2005. Of these men, 60% will sign a transitional housing program contract. Of those who sign the contract, 60% will enter self-sufficient, independent or cooperative living arrangements upon completing their program. Of the 170 men, 40% will remain in emergency shelter, of which 75% will take a minimum of two significant actions to increase the likelihood of independent or interdependent living, or to gain control of their mental illness or substance abuse. Outcome In FY2004, Rustic House was home to 125 mentally ill, physically disabled or aged homeless men (4,341 person nights). Since 1988, Rustic House has sheltered 3,395 men, providing meals and clothing, hot showers, employment referrals, primary health and dental care, and professional case management to meet both the emergency shelter needs and work individually with each man to transition him into permanent housing and independence. In FY2004, CCMM, for a variety of reasons were unable to serve 35 men. They either did not meet the shelter criteria, had mental or physical disabilities beyond the scope of services offered at CCMM, or had prior noncompliance issues. The average value of each night of shelter was $78 55; the average cost was $70.38; and the value-added was $8. 17 4. Vineyard Employment Since 1983, Vineyard Employment, a job matching service, connects homeless people with employers, day labor jobs, long term temporary jobs and permanent jobs. At Vineyard Employment, individuals regain self- respect through renewed confidence in the market value of their skills and earn wages to restore their independence in the community. Goal By satisfying peoples' basic needs for food, clothing, safety, and work, we reduce the incidence of unacceptable social behavior that is driven by peoples' instincts to satisfy those most basic needs. Objective A minimum of 65% of the estimated 525 people who approach CCMM looking for help finding work will accept the offer ora paying job at or above minimum wage, subject to reasonable conditions set forth by CCMM. In 2004, CCMM estimates that 1,900+ clients will be matched with temporary positions, including 10 that will result in permanent jobs. Outcome In FY2004, CCMM successfully served 497 individuals 98% who were actively seeking work, matching them with 1,867 temporary placements and 10 permanent jobs. CCMM successfully served 52% of the individuals who requested employment matching services. The annual projected economic impact of these full-time positions plus the temporary positions amounted to an infusion of about $195,520 into the community. The average value of each job match was $51.3l; the average cost was $45.05; and the value-added was $6.26. 5. Vineyard Services Vineyard Services serves as the primary screening and intake point t'or persons needing assistance beyond meals and employment. All CCMM programs refer individuals to this program, as do other agencies throughout our five county service area Through Vineyard Services clients receive clean donated clothing, hygiene products, and household items so that they may begin solving many of the problems that accompany homelessness, in addition, Vineyard Services connects clients to other CCMM and community programs based upon the individual needs of the clients. Goal By satisfying peoples basic needs for food, clothing, safety, and work, reduce the incidence of unacceptable social behavior that is driven by people's instinct to satisfy those most basic needs. Objective In 2005, 98% of the estimated 1,000 families and individuals who approach CCMM asking for clothing, blankets, or other basic personal articles will be provided with 2,100+ service units and accept these items at no cost, as an alternative to acquiring them in ways that the community does not accept. 98% who ask for information or referral will leave with knowledge of at least one reasonable step they can take toward solving their problem. Outcome In operation since 1983, Vineyard Services has reached out 59,800 times in response to requests for help Over 15,030 clients have used Vineyard Services to secure benefits, referred clients for medical, dental, and opthomological services and connect with volunteer legal guidance and other help available through the continuum of care. Additionally, Vineyard Services provided a fixed address for mail delivery, assisted in obtaining person identification, helped clients complete paperwork required to access other services, and distributed clothing, shoes, coats, blankets and basic hygiene items to those who need them. In FY2004, CCMM providing 2,130 units of service to 903 individuals and families. The average value of each service contact is $93.60; the average cost was $36.99; and the value-added was $56 61. 6. Gabbard Memorial Health Room The Gabbard Memorial Health Room is a primary care medical clinic for residents of our shelters, other CCMM clients, area homeless providers, and for those living on the street. Since 1989, the Health Room has been staffed by volunteer doctors and nurses from the community. Under the continuum of care system, other non- profit social service agencies with no access to medical assistance arrange referrals through the Health Room's program director. Goal Provide the homeless and uninsured poor people with free and accessible health care, with counseling for personal wellness and prevention, and with a vision clinic in a setting conveniently co-located with other, familiar human services. These services further an individual's likelihood to find permanent employment, become independent, and stability in the community. Objective In 2005 at least 95% of the estimated 400 patients who come to CCMM for medical or vision attention will share their medical history, described their symptoms or health needs, and see a State-licensed doctor of medicine or optometry. Where indicated, patients will leave the Health Room with a physician's advice, instructions, written prescription or with medication provided under a physician's direction at the time of treatment. CCMM estimates that 600+ tree patient visits will be provided. About 50% of the patients will require repeat visits to the Health Room. Outcome Since 1989, doctors and mtrses have voluntarily provided 9,135 patient visits to 2,559 individuals. Ox, er the years, physicians have also provided generous in-kind donations of pharmaceutical drags and medical equipment. The goal of the program is to offer either primary care for acute problems or appropriate referral for chronic needs. As funding and in-kind donations allow, prescriptions for health room patients and for vision prescriptions are filled at no charge. In FY2004, the Health Room recorded 728 free patient visits, successfully serving nearly 455 clients seeking assistance. The average value of each patient visit was $159.30; the average cost was $59.57; and the value-added was $99. 72.
