At the end of each fiscal year we look back at what Union Station Homeless Services and our clients have accomplished. It is my pleasure to share this update with you.
This is our 2008-2009 Record of Success.
Passageways intake center, which serves as the sole entry point to Pasadena’s homeless services network, provided 1,594 homeless adults and children with intake, assessment, medical and mental health services, and referrals to shelter, housing and substance recovery programs. This is a 32% increase over last fiscal year.
The Adult Center, our 56-bed shelter for single adults, provided shelter, meals and supportive services for 169 homeless adults, including 113 men and 56 women. 59% of exiting adults moved on to stable housing.
The Family Center, our 50-bed shelter for homeless families, provided shelter, meals and supportive services for 126 people, including 70 children, 44 mothers, and 12 fathers. 94% of exiting families moved on to stable housing.
Euclid Villa, our transitional housing apartments, provided safe residence for 53 people, including 33 children, 17 mothers and 3 fathers. 100% of exciting families moved on to permanent housing.
Sources, our career development program, provided more than 7,500 hours of career counseling and job search assistance for 110 homeless and very low-income adults. Despite the tough economic climate, 53% of program graduates secured employment within 90 days.
