Organizations Filed Purposes: CSS OFFERS TEMPORARY SHELTER, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND SKILL BUILDING TO PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. CSS BUILDS MICRO-SHELTERS CALLED CONESTOGA HUTS THAT PROVIDE TEMPORARY SHELTER. CSS'S SAFE SPOT PROGRAM IS A MODEL FOR LEGAL AND SANITARY MICRO-SHELTER ENCAMPMENTS. EACH CLIENT IN THE COMMUNITY IS PAIRED WITH AN ADVISOR TO HELP FIND A PATH TO AN IMPROVED LIVING SITUATION.

SAFE SPOT COMMUNITY PROGRAM: CSS OPERATED THREE SAFE SPOT COMMUNITIES BETWEEN JULY 1, 2019 AND JUNE 30, 2020. DURING THIS TIME 117 INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF SAFE SHELTER WERE SERVED. OF THE 72 PEOPLE WHO LEFT THE SAFE SPOT PROGRAM, A TOTAL OF 46 PEOPLE (64%) WERE ABLE TO MOVE ON TO A BETTER LIVING SITUATION DURING THEIR STAY. OUT OF THE 46 PEOPLE WHO MOVED ON TO AN IMPROVED SITUATION: 25 INDIVIDUALS MOVED TO A FORM OF CONVENTIONAL HOUSING (RENTAL APARTMENT, SECTION 8 HOUSING, SUPPORTED LIVING, OR MOBILE HOME), 11 MOVED IN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, 7 INDIVIDUALS TRANSITIONED TO ANOTHER TRANSITIONAL SHELTER OR HOUSING PROGRAM, 2 CLIENTS TRANSITIONED INTO A TREATMENT PROGRAM, AND 1 CLIENT ENTERED A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.

CONESTOGA HUT MICRO-SHELTERS: A TOTAL OF 37 NEW CONESTOGA HUT MICRO- SHELTERS WERE PLACED DURING THE YEAR IN THE EUGENE/SPRINGFIELD AREA. IN ONE OF THE SAFE SPOT CAMPS, ALL TENT PLATFORMS WERE REPLACED WITH CONESTOGA HUTS TO PROVIDE A MORE STABLE AND SECURE SHELTER FOR ALL CAMP RESIDENTS. SEVEN OF THESE NEW HUTS WERE BUILT TO PROVIDE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING TO UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS WHO GRADUATED FROM THE EUGENE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH RESPONSE TEAM PROGRAM (CORT). THIS INCREASE IN HUT PRODUCTION WAS ENHANCED BY THE REDESIGN OF THE CSS CONSTRUCTION SHOP TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND STAGING FUNCTIONALITY FOR ADDITIONAL WORK CREWS. A DEMONSTRATION HUT WAS BUILT ON A PORTABLE TRAILER FOR TRANSPORTING TO MULTIPLE OUTREACH EVENTS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ATTENDEES TO VIEW THE HUT DESIGN UP CLOSE TO PROMOTE FURTHER HUT PURCHASE/PLACEMENT IN THE EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD COMMUNITY.

OUTREACH: CSS OUTREACH ACTIVITIES PROMOTE, INFORM, AND BUILD AWARENESS OF THE PROGRAMS THAT CSS DEVELOPS AND OPERATES. THE CSS OUTREACH PROGRAM MOSTLY WORKS WITH OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND GIVES PRESENTATIONS AND CONSULTATIONS WHICH HELP AND INFORM THEM IN SERVING THEIR CLIENTS AND IN USING THE SERVICES OF CSS.
