Organizations Filed Purposes:
Urban Peak helps youth experiencing homelessness and youth at risk of becoming homeless overcome real life challenges by providing essential services and a supportive community, empowering them to become self-sufficient adults.
Urban Peak ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives.
Overnight Shelter and Day Services: Homeless youth are invited to stay at the shelter as long as they are actively receiving services and making progress on their case plan for achieving self-sufficiency. When youth enter the shelter, they participate in an intake assessment to help determine individual needs and identify personal barriers to exiting the streets. With a case manager, each youth develops a case plan to achieve stability and self-sufficiency by building on existing strengths and accessing community resources. Components of case management may include mental health assessment and intervention; legal advocacy; individual, group, and family counseling referrals; substance abuse counseling and education; independent living program referrals; transportation assistance; assistance obtaining IDs Program service and birth certificates; and peer leadership development. Case managers work to reunite youth with their families when possible. In 2019, 186 unduplicated youth served, and 60% of youth staying at the shelter received case management.
Housing Services: Urban Peak provides support to 72 community housing units. Individual treatment, support groups, and case management are combined in our housing program to provide a stable and safe platform for a life away from the street. Every youth in UP housing works with a case manager to create a case plan that may include education and/or employment programs, recreational opportunities, youth development activities, and access to comprehensive health care. 72 youth experiencing homelessness were housed, case managed, and received additional support services in our housing program in 2019.
Program oversight and evaluation: Program oversight provides supervision of program managers; in-house training on topics such as mental health first-aid, trauma informed care, de-escalation, and others; and direct client support. Program evaluation includes collection, coalition, and interpretation of an extensive amount of client data used for purposes of reporting, outcome measurement, decision-making, and program strategic planning.
