We have moved!

But we haven't gone away!

Effective June 23^rd 2008 our Project Hope Outreach services will be providing their services in a new and exciting way. The last day the office will be open at 249 East 8th Street where folks can come to us is June 17^th 2008. Rather, we will now be out in the community more, meeting folks regularly in shelters and food service locations. We will be on the street more, seeking out the unserved population of homeless folks. We will continue to try to meet as many needs as possible, such as obtaining ID and birth certificates, helping with government service and housing applications, supplying bus tokens, and providing blankets, socks, comfort kits, and personal hygiene items. Office work will be accomplished on a part time basis at the Alliance administrative offices. While this will be a very different way for us to provide our services, we are creatively seeking new ways to minister and be the support and the love that the people living on the streets need.

The staff at outreach would like to thank the support that has been given to this vital part of the ministry. Nicole and her staff are working hard to not only restructure, but continue to meet with clients who are very much in need of our assistance. Your continued support will be a vital part of this process.

If you have questions you can send us a message or give us a call (814) 456-5670.

Project Hope for the Homeless is a collabrative effort among EUMA, the department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), County of Erie Department of Human Services, the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs , and numerous homeless services providers.

The Outreach Office offers a welcoming environment while maintaining up-to-date information on social services available to the homeless. They assist clients in obtaining birth certificates an photo identification cards, which are mandatory for social services, shelter stays, and the apartment application process. Outreach workers maintain informational packets containing applications and forms for:

• Cash Assistance
• Food Stamps
• Medical Assistance
• SSI-pre-application
• Section 8 (Erie City and County)
• Low income housing programs
• SRO programs
• The LIFT Transportation Program for the Disabled
• CCIS subsidized Child Care

Preventing homelessness and helping those currently suffering from homelessness is like operating a machine that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The machine cannot stop even for a moment or someone who needs help may get overlooked during that moment of down time.
