(4) NARRATIVE
Collier County is submitting a request for a $150,000 Challenge Grant to implement four (4) activities
in our community. The four agencies requesting funds are:
Activity/Priority #1
Collier County Hunger & Homeless Coalition:
Funding Level: Requesting $60,000 to be fully funded at $150,000 level; or $40,100 at $100,000 level;
or $24,000 funding at $60,000 Award Level
The Coalition is requesting funding to maintain, improve and expand the HUD mandated HMIS
system. The Collier County HMIS is known as the Information Network for the Community of Collier
County (INCCC). The HMIS/INCCC system has been in place since 2003. Funding for this required
resource has come from a number of sources including Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and Continuum ofCare/SHP funds. There are currently 7 participating organizations at
various stages of using and implementing the HMIS software for case management. The local
HMISIINCCC Steering Committee has faced a number of challenges in the past few years including a
nonperforming vendor and the search and selection of a replacement software provider. As a result of
those experiences, the Information Network for the Community of Collier County (INCCC) received
recognition from HUD by receiving the 2006 Breakthrough Year Award at the 2006 National HMIS
Conference. Funding is needed to continue to maintain and expand this homeless initiative.
Full funding of this request would allow for more agencies to participate in HMIS/INCCC. Funding
will be used to provide equipment, software, supplies, personnel, rent and operational costs. Funding
ofHMIS by HUD and the Challenge grant will improve the sharing of data, improve coordination of
case management services, streamline resources and improve the overall Continuum of Care system
within Collier County.
Activity/Priority #2.
Shelter for Abused Women and Children:
Funding Level: Requesting $64,000 to be fully funded at $150,000; $42,600 at $100,000 level; or
reduced to $25,600 at $60,000 A ward Level
The grant request of $64,000 will be used to pay for one full-time Shelter Advocate/Counselor and
55% of the cost of a second Shelter Advocate/Counselor who would serve homeless women and
children victims of domestic violence. These two positions would assist hundreds of women and
children who utilize the services ofthe Shelter for Abused Women and Children annually. Each
Advocate/Counselor will assess residents' short term and long term needs and assist them in accessing
mainstream benefits (i.e food stamps, medications, etc.), job placement, life skills to include budgeting,
nutrition and self care, court and legal assistance, along with any other basic necessities.

$100,000 level; funding at $6,400 at $60,000 Award Level.
A grant request of $16,000 will be used to provide transportation needs for the homeless. St
Matthew's House will provide bus tokens and maintenance on an existing passenger van to transport
clients for medical appointments, job interviews, support meetings and any emergency situations
requiring transportation. The resources would be used in conjunction with funds received from
outside donors.
Activity/Priority #4.
National Alliance on Mental Illness:
Funding Level: Requesting $10,000 to be fully funded at $150,000; to be funded for $6,600 at
$100,000 level; funding at $4,000 at $60,000 Award Level.

individuals suffering from mental illness. Grant funds will be use to provide opportunities for
homeless individuals to participate in group functions, receive financial support, and other assistance
in the form of psychiatric evaluations, medications, eye glasses, and dental work.

Performance Measures
Performance Measures #1:
The Coalition's HMIS program will continue to provide ongoing training and technical assistance to
the seven (7) agencies utilizing the HMIS system. Challenge funds will be used to support and assist
in the implementation of (2) additional new agencies which will be on track to become fully operative
system users by August 200S. In additional, the funds will be used to identifY and assist two (2) more
agencies in utilizing the HMIS system, bringing the total users to eleven (II). Performance
measurements will include utilizing data collected to prepare reports on the number of services
provided by participating agencies; monthly data quality measures will be performed to determine
User Group training needs; and two new agencies will be identified for participation in HMIS/INCCC.
Performance Measures #2:
The Shelter will measure the successful completion of the proposed activity by the number of
homeless women and children served by the case managers. By the end of the funding term, 50
homeless women and children will be served collectively by these case managers. Shelter staff will
work closely with program participants initially to help assess their needs and then to ensure their
ongoing access to Shelter and community services to help them achieve independence and self-
sufficiency. Every program participant is assessed for eligibility and need for all programs offered by
mainstream providers. We will also measure outcomes by our participant satisfaction surveys, as well
as pre and post tests administered by Shelter Advocate/ Counselor. Once residents leave the shelter,
women and children will be encouraged to continue receiving counseling and attending weekly support
groups. Shelter staff is able to assess their progress at this time.
Performance Measures #3:
St. Matthew's House performance measure will be based on the number of homeless client rides
provided and the types of services received including medical appointments, job interviews, job
placement, support meetings and emergency transportation needs. St. Matthew's House anticipates
that SOO individuals will be assisted with transportation services during the grant period. St.
Matthew's House serves 120 individuals and families with shelter at their main campus and an
additional 54 beds at their transitional and permanent supportive housing site. Providing transportation
needs will ensure that residents have the ability to get outside services and support they need to regain
health and recover from homelessness.
Performance Measures #4:
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) performance measure will be based on the number of
homeless clients served. For the term of this grant, NAMI will be serving 35 clients on a variety of
activities. These activities include participation in group functions at their Sarah Ann Center,
community activities through their social support program (COMPEER), and assistance with medical,
dental, and psychiatric needs.

(8) ABILITY TO COMPLETE ACTIVITIES:
#1 Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition--HMIS/INCCC has successfully completed a
number of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreements and Continuum ofCare/SHP
contracts. Over the past five years, the Coalition and INCCC Steering Committee have gone through
numerous growing pains and have progressed from an initial core group of six agencies to seven
participating organizations with more waiting in the wings. They have successfully overcome
numerous obstacles with the initial software provider and have been honored by HOD as a 2006 HMIS
Breakthrough Year A ward recipient.
In addition, Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition has hired a HMIS administrator, Steve
Perkins, to be responsible for planning, analysis, design, and implementing the HMIS system. Mr.
Perkins has over thirty years of information systems experience. Mr. Perkins will be introducing and
presenting the benefits of the HMIS system to potential participants and inviting them to become a
member agency. By the end of2009, a total of eleven (II) agencies will be actively contributing and
sharing data via HMIS.
#2 Shelter for Abused Women and Children (SA WCC) is highly capable of completing the defined
activities before the end of June 2009. The Shelter has 40 emergency shelter beds and 20 beds
designated for transitional living. Most of the beds in the Shelter are filled every night. The project
could be implemented immediately once a contract is drawn, as case management is a permanent
service at the Shelter.
Furthermore, Shelter staff has a history of demonstrating their ability to handle and oversee complex
projects and to be fiscally responsible for distributing grant funding. The Shelter initially provided
only a few counseling groups per week, but now offers 22 support groups. The English and Spanish
speaking groups also include creative counseling which is offered in Naples and Immokalee for
women and children. Shelter staff also facilitates prevention programs in almost every public school in
Collier County. In addition, the Shelter was the recipient of the prestigious Harvey B. Kapnick Award
for the Community Foundation of Collier County which recognizes high quality programs targeting
underserved populations and sound financial practices, among other distinct characteristics that
improve the quality oflife for those residing in Collier County.
#3. St. Matthews House is also very capable of completing their activity by June 2009. They have an
existing passenger van solely committed for carrying out the activity. Transportation expenses are
only a small percentage of the operational budget. Not only does the St Matthews House receive over
$1 ,OOO,OOO/year from donors, they generate over $1,000,000 in revenue through the thrift store and
other enterprising opportunities. The majority of their clients that will utilize the transportation are
housed within the agency.
#4 National Alliance on Mental Illness has been providing support services to individuals with mental
illness in Collier County since 1987, and has been awarded "most outstanding affiliate of the year" in
2003. The Sarah Ann Center has been in operation for the past five years. The center provides
activities that increase socialization skills, computer skills, and artistic capabilities. One of its
managers has been homeless and can identify with the targeted population in becoming self-sufficient.
The CONSUMER CARE program has been a part ofNAMI since its inception and is a big part ofthe
fundraising efforts during the annual walk.
