Organizations Filed Purposes: WE IMPROVE LIVES BY MOBILIZING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD.

COMMUNITY IMPACT - COMMUNITY IMPACT IS THE EFFORT TO ALIGN RESOURCES AROUND COMMON STRATEGIES TO ACCOMPLISH BOLD GOALS. UNITED WAY OF SUMMIT COUNTY BRINGS TOGETHER NON-PROFIT AGENCIES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, TOPICAL EXPERTS, VOLUNTEERS AND FUNDERS TO PLAN AND WORK COLLABORATIVELY TOWARD ACHIEVING COMMUNITY-WIDE OBJECTIVES. AS PART OF THAT EFFORT, WE INVEST RESOURCES IN NONPROFIT AGENCIES, INTERNAL PROGRAMMING AND VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF IMPROVING EDUCATION, INCOME AND HEALTH IN SUMMIT COUNTY. NOTE THAT THE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER AND THE COLLEGE & CAREER ACADEMY ARE BOTH NEW PROGRAMS TO UWSC. NOTE THAT THE BRIDGES PROGRAM HAS BEEN COMBINED WITH OTHER PROGRAMMING UNDER OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION (DE&I) SECTION OF SCHEDULE O.

HOUSING SERVICES - OUR HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT SERVES AS THE COMMUNITY'S FRONT DOOR AND CENTRAL INTAKE FOR HUD-FUNDED SHELTERS AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAMS IN SUMMIT COUNTY AS WELL AS THE LOCAL CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS IN THE COMMUNITY. OUR HOUSING SERVICES PROGRAM ADMINISTERS THE COMMUNITY'S HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AND OVERSEES DATA COLLECTION FOR HOMELESSNESS IN THE COMMUNITY WHILE ALSO OFFERING OUR OWN SUITE OF SERVICES TO RAPIDLY REHOUSE HOMELESS RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND TO PREVENT HOMELESSNESS FOR THOSE THREATENED BY IT. THIS YEAR, THE PROGRAM PROVIDED 1,216 INSTANCES OF RENTAL/SECURITY DEPOSIT ASSISTANCE ACROSS 260 HOUSEHOLDS (INCLUDING 279 ADULTS AND 144 CHILDREN). 186 OF THESE HOUSEHOLDS WERE HOUSED DURING THE YEAR, INCLUDING 197 ADULTS AND 85 CHILDREN. AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, QUALIFYING CRITERIA WAS EXPANDED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. IN THE EARLY WEEKS OF THE PANDEMIC, OUR HOUSING SERVICES TEAM SCHEDULED 173 INTAKES AND ASSISTED 71 HOUSEHOLDS, A VOLUME THAT IS APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES THE NORMAL PACE FOR A SIMILAR TIME PERIOD PRIOR TO THE CRISIS.
