Organizations Filed Purposes: YOUTH FUTURES MISSION IS TO PROVIDE SAFE SHELTER, COLLABORATIVE RESOURCES, RESPECTFUL GUIDANCE AND DIVERSE SUPPORT TO HOMELESS, UNACCOMPANIED, RUNAWAY AND AT-RISK YOUTH IN UTAH.

OGDEN IN 2019, AT THE OGDEN LOCATION ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS WAS OUR STREET OUTREACH PROGRAM. STREET OUTREACH HAS SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHENED RELATIONSHIPS WITH UTAH HARM REDUCTION COALITION, THE HOPE CLINIC, AND WEBER HOUSING AUTHORITY. OUR SPDAT ASSESSMENTS COMPLETED INCREASED TO 18 FULL SPDAT'S IN 2019, 8 OF WHICH WERE YOUTH AGES 18-24. STREET OUTREACH HAS UTILIZED 7 NEW VOLUNTEERS IN 2019 AND 2 WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY INTERNS. WE CONDUCTED 492.38 HOURS OF STREET OUTREACH IN OGDEN CITY AND AN ADDITIONAL 12 HOURS OUTSIDE OF OGDEN CITY. OUR TEAM DISTRIBUTED 80 NARCAN KITS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH 5 REPORTED REVERSALS, THOSE 5 NARCAN KITS WERE SUCCESSFULLY USED TO REVIVE SOMEONE DURING AN OVERDOSE, TWO OF WHICH REPORTED THAT THE PERSON REVIVED WAS EXPERIENCING THEIR FIRST OVERDOSE. WE RECORDED A TOTAL OF 1,636 HOURS OF HOUSING CASE MANAGEMENT AMONG 17 DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. TOTAL, WE ENCOUNTERED 4,283 PEOPLE ON THE STREET, 480 OF WHICH WERE AGES 12-18 YEARS OLD. FOUR OF THE YOUTH WE ENCOUNTERED STARTED TO ENGAGE IN DROP IN SERVICES, ONE OF THOSE FOUR ACCESSED OVERNIGHT SHELTER. AFTERCARE HAS STEADILY INCREASED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. TRACKING AFTERCARE CASE MANAGEMENT ON THE COMPUTER INSTEAD OF ON PAPER HAS PROVIDED AN INCREASE IN SERVICE PROVISION AND MORE EFFECTIVE DOCUMENTATION. CASE MANAGERS CONNECT AFTERCARE YOUTH TO THERAPY, CASE MANAGEMENT, COMMUNITY REFERRALS, EDUCATION AND HOUSING. THE SPREADSHEET HAS REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO TRACK YOUTH ENCOUNTERS AND ALLOWS FOR MULTIPLE CASE MANAGERS TO UPDATE THE PROGRESSION OF EACH YOUTH'S CASE AND PREVENTS OVERLAPPING SERVICES. IN ADDITION, 3 AMERICORP VISTA'S COMPLETED THEIR SERVICE, WE STARTED A YOUTH ACTION BOARD COMPRISED OF YOUTH WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE AS A WAY TO PROVIDE YOUTH VOICE TO OUR PROGRAM PROVISION. AND, WE ADDED A FORMERLY HOMELESS YOUTH WHO RECEIVED SERVICES IN OUR PROGRAMS TO OUR GOVERNING BOARD. IN OGDEN, WE SERVED 84 YOUTH IN SHELTER, FOR 2582 SHELTER NIGHT STAYS, FOR AN AVERAGE OF 30.7 NIGHTS EACH. WE SERVED 6,628 MEALS, PROVIDED ACCESS TO THE RESOURCE ROOM 681 TIMES, PROVIDED 1,633 DROP-IN INCIDENCES AND 777 CASE MANAGEMENT INCIDENCES.

THEY FELT OUR STAFF WERE WELL TRAINED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO, THE KIDS REPORTING FEELING HAPPY AND SAFE LIVING IN OUR PROGRAM, AND WE GOT EXCELLENT MARKS FOR COMPLIANCE. REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR LOCAL SUPPORTING AGENCIES FROM DWS, DCFS, SOUTHWEST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, DIXIE STATE UNIVERSITY, THE CHILDREN'S JUSTICE CENTER, DIXIE LGBT TEEN ALLIANCE, AND BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS CAME OUT AND SHARED THEIR POSITIVE EXPERIENCES OF WORKING WITH US IN A COMMUNITY OUTREACH LUNCHEON. WE STARTED OUR STREET OUTREACH PROGRAM IN ST. GEORGE IN THE SUMMER OF 2018. THROUGH SOME TRIAL AND ERROR, WE BEGAN TO EXPLORE THE TOWN AND FIND PLACES WHERE YOUTH CONGREGATE AND START BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED THIS YEAR AND USING THAT EXPERIENCE TO EXPAND OUR REACH IN 2020. WE CREATED STRONG PARTNERSHIPS IN THE COMMUNITY IN ST. GEORGE.
