DHAS is the only agency in Jefferson County specifically trained to serve current and past victims of trauma including domestic violence (DV),sexual assault (SA),and other types of crime. We are also the only organization in Jefferson County offering a Recovery Café with its unique services. In CalYr 2024, DHAS served 377 clients victimized by domestic violence, sexual assault, or other crimes. 64 individuals/21 families were guests in our Shelter; 4980 bed nights.

Average length of stay was 62 last year to 78 nights this year. Unmeetable requests for emergency shelter were at least 340 in 2024 and 277 thus far in 2025. Of the 52 individuals/26 families who were Shelter guests in FY 2024-2025, 12 moved directly to affordable permanent or transitional housing; 4 returned to shelter or haven't yet exited the shelter; 6 returned to their abusers. 4 found temporary solutions through family/friends.

She filled out applications for apartments for low-income affordable housing and connected with apartment managers. The Dove House Confidential Shelter offered a place for her son to get on regular routine with school and transition into a safe community. Mom was able to connect with local agencies to get ready for the arrival of her newborn.Her and the newborn came back into the shelter and were able to stay until they found permanent housing. Mom and her two kids moved into a beautiful apartment with support from the Dove House staff and the community providing furniture and household necessities. The journey had some bumps in the road, but through perseverance and strength support in her advocacy appointments she succeeded moving forward into safe housing. The Dove House Confidential Shelter played a major role as the first steppingstone for this mom and her family to stay safe and obtain safe,affordable,permanent housing. • Briefly describe how the project aligns with the priorities and objectives of the Five-Year Homeless Housing Plan and the community outreach conducted for the project or program.

When they are not spending most of their energy/time simply meeting basic needs,their stress and anxiety are reduced and they can focus on emotional healing, identifying/addressing barriers toward increased self-sufficiency, and accessing the resources needed to achieve their goals including permanent affordable housing. • We engage every available avenue to assist clients in acquiring skills and resources to avoid remaining/returning to homeless(ness) and to find and keep affordable,permanent housing. This includes teaching housing search strategies; addressing prior evictions; supporting clients in job and childcare searches; identifying all subsidy and low-income housing options and other affordable options;encouraging property owners to work with us;helping clients with applications; tracking applications; providing move- in assistance; and continuing to support clients after they have moved into their dwelling. ■ We dedicate fundraising efforts to maximize clients' success. We place priority on preventing homelessness and keeping families in their existing housing, when safe and feasible and ensuring that guests in our emergency shelter can move directly to permanent affordable housing(if they wish)as soon as it can be obtained,rather than remaining homeless. • Clients in this program meet with their Advocate at least once a week and actively work toward obtaining permanent or transitional housing. While the realities of the severe housing emergency in Jefferson County make it challenging, we prioritize helping all guests to obtain their best next step for housing as quickly as possible in order to make emergency/temporary shelter available for other victims in need. We participate in the HMIS System. C. PROJECT OR PROGRAM BUDGET—A Feasible Financial Plan (5 Points) BUDGET FORMS Funding period begins January 1, 2025, and ends December 31,2025.
