S3 Connect Update Karen Kennedy with S3 Housing Connect provided an update on the progress of their homelessness initiative over the past year. Jeffrey Rawlings as Chair of S3 Housing Connect provided information on what the organization has been doing. There has been a lot of support across organizations and county staff. In addition, S3 has drawn support from the faith-based community. Local shelters have also provided support including Haven, Family Promise, and the new shelter, Bread of Life, along with Outreach Mission. They have adopted the low barrier approach. Low barrier means "live through the night and we'll deal with whatever tomorrow." That has not previously been the case. There are three rules: 1. Respect yourself, 2. Respect each other and 3. Respect the house. S3 Connect has partnered with Kendra Martin with United Way to increase their tier on 211 to provide better access to available resources for those in need. In 2018, Outreach Mission served 249 people, 62 were transient, 162 participated in the transformative program, 38 veterans were served, 86 persons who didn't have an identification received one, 152 medical referrals were made, 141 persons left with employment, 144 left with housing, 19,320 meals were served, 6,441 nights of shelter were offered and provided to persons who did not have it. Terry Alebaugh, Community Impact Coordinator with NC Coalition on Homelessness, stated that Outreach Mission has stepped up the effort to create a low barrier shelter. The Bread of Life stepped forward to open an extreme weather shelter. A project on Linden Avenue will produce five units to help move people past homelessness.
