394 Almost Home

In 1993 the Franciscan Sisters of Mary opened the first transitional housing ministry for homeless teenage mothers and their children. The Franciscan Sisters of Mary have traditionally focused on the needs of the poor and powerless in our community. Because of this tradition, they identified the need for services towards teenage mothers between the ages of 12 and 19. Almost Home has provided transitional housing and supportive services to more than 550 teen moms. Through the ministry of transitional housing and education, Almost Home provides a secure environment to develop the emotional, social, economic and family skills necessary for self-sufficiency in teenage mothers and their children who are homeless. Almost Home opened its doors with a capacity for five mothers and their children. The community's need soon outstripped the availability of the accommodations and Almost Home expanded. In April 1999, Almost Home broke ground on a $2 million project that provides 15 bedroom space for teenage moms and their children who are homeless. The facility is accessible for disabilities. The new facility is located in the Terry Park area of St. Louis City. It provides classrooms, office space, playroom, an exercise room, common spaces (a living room, dining room and kitchen, and a storage area.

597 Columbia Housing Authority

The Columbia Housing Authority (CHA) was organized to provide safe, decent and affordable housing for low-income families. The CHA has long been involved with the community at large and its many social services agencies in an effort to meet the needs of its residents and the low income population.

725 Homeward Bound

Upon working with the various focus groups of the homeless service providers’ network, Ms. Boone found that two common complaints emerged frequently. They were:

• Consumers receiving services had a variety of legal issues. There were outstanding warrants, traffic violations, orders of protection, and child custody matters to name a few. Limited resources and unstable addresses limited the consumers’ ability to correct their judicial problems. Many feared the personal self-disclosure for a police report from the local authorities would result in incarceration. For a woman with children this prospect was especially frightening, as the family would become subject to Division of Family Services interventions.
  
  
• Detailed information about ancillary services was not readily available to the consumer of the homeless services. Case managers were unable to about employment, education, and health care matters of interest for each client; and the consumers themselves lacked the resources to explore multiple organizations located in various parts of the city.

The answer was clear. Homeless people and people on the verge of homelessness needed a singular venue that they could attend and receive information, assistance and direction in correcting and/or eliminating the barriers in their lives that hindered their self-sufficiency. As a result, the HOMEWARD BOUND COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FAIR came into being in 1996. Representatives from various social service organizations and agencies, legal and health care organizations, employment programs and educational entities, were invited to join together with the City of St. Louis and its public and private partners to present information, health screening, and legal advise to the homeless and at risk population of this area. This event has been staged each year during the fall since inception in 1996. [Click here for more photos.]

812 Accessible Housing Clearinghouse

The concept for the Accessible Housing Clearinghouse grew out of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing as prepared by the City of St. Louis and by St. Louis County. The Clearinghouse was presented as an action plan to address concerns raised by the St. Louis HUD FHEO Division that there is a serious lack of accessible units within these jurisdictions. The Accessible Housing Clearinghouse is one of the first databases of accessible housing that can be queried over the web, as well as by the staff of Paraquad, a non-profit disability advocacy agency that is responsible for its development. The project has received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding on a multi-year basis from three jurisdictions: The City of St. Louis Missouri, St. Louis County and the City of Florissant. The web site has been operational since February, 2000 and currently list over 30 accessible properties primarily located within the City of St. Louis. The database is being continually updated with new property addresses and is anticipated to be fully operational by August 2001 and will contain all accessible properties reported by St. Louis City and St. Louis County and Florissant. Paraquad inspects and measures all units before entering them into the database to ensure quality control.. When fully implemented, the Accessible Housing Clearinghouse will provide an important vehicle for connecting those with accessible housing demands with those who can meet those demands. The Accessible Housing Clearinghouse is a good example of collaboration between local governments, non-profits and the housing industry in addressing the housing needs of individuals with disabilities.

888 Ranken Community Development Corporation

Ranken Technical College has teamed with the St. Louis Association of Community Organizations to provide homes for low to moderate income families. Ranken utilizes its school program of teaching construction crafts and trades to construct homes for the non-profit corporation. Arrangements are made with the St. Louis City Community Development Agency (CDA) to provide home buyer down payment assistance of $2,000 and the SLACO non-profit agency acts as the realtor. The overall cost of the house is held to a minimum and with the down payment assistance, the houses are sold to low to moderate income families. The houses are constructed in areas that had been on the decline and with the new construction the neighborhood stabilizes.

1179 Great Plains Area Commitment Corporation

HUD's Center for Community and Interfaith Partnerships, Washington, D.C., spearheaded the development of ten (10) faith based conferences to be held in ten (10) U. S. Cities. Community Builders assigned to the Center for Community and Interfaith Partnerships and Field Offices were selected to develop these conferences in respective cities. The Great Plains Area Conference was designed to provide the faith-based community with: 1) an opportunity to learn about HUD programs; 2) an opportunity to learn about financial resources the Church could used to rebuild neighborhoods surrounding the Church; 3) an opportunity for faith-based groups to network with other faith-based groups; 4) an opportunity to meet HUD, other federal and state officials; and 5) an opportunity for faith-based groups to sign-up for follow-on technical assistance visits with HUD funded technical assistance providers.

1351 North East Community Corporation

The Mutual Self Help Housing Program is a partnership between North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC), USDA Rural Development, HUD, as well as local lending institutions. NECAC provides homeownership counseling, eligibility certification and construction supervision for the families. USDARural Development works with the fanatics to provide low-interest loans to build their self-help homes. The loans are reduced by about $10-l2,000 because of the sweat equity put into the building by the families. In other words, the families immediately have between $10-12,000 in equity before they even move into the homes. HUD provides support through the counseling and single family housing program. The local lending institutions have entered into a partnership with NECAC and Rural Development to help recruit families for the program. In addition, with the HUD EDI, the local lending institutions will work with NECAC and Rural Development to provide guaranteed loans for moderate income families who will now be able to participate in the Self Help Housing Program.

1512 Bristol Place

The Murphy Blair Townhomes, renamed Bristol Place, are located in a St. Louis neighborhood within a mile of the downtown and the convention center. This area of the City of St. Louis has experienced the greatest abandonment resulting in the Land Reutilization Authority, a city agency, owning over 50% of the properties due to tax foreclosure. The median income, as of the 1990 census, was $10,301 with 49% of the households having incomes below $10,000. Since the last census, the city's planning division has seen little change in the demographic information for the area. The Grace Hill Neighborhood Services not-for-profit that provides housing, health and social service services to neighborhood residents built the complex in 1974. Grace Hill built two additional federally funded projects in the neighborhood; both are now managed by Kohner properties. At the time HUD was preparing to foreclose on the property, the City of St. Louis housing officials were in discussion with the Missouri Housing and Development Commission to explore the best reuse of the property. There was some discussion that the buildings should be demolished since they were located in an area that was mainly vacant ground, as well as, having a high crime rate. The resulting vacant ground could then be redeveloped with few impediments. After all parties inspected the buildings, it was decided the buildings provided valuable family housing and should not be deleted from the city's housing inventory. Jon Pyzyk, Kohner Properties purchased the 100-unit complex at a HUD foreclosure sale for $640,000. The apartments were 50% occupied at the time of sale and not all tenants were paying their rent. The buildings were in poor condition as the pictures demonstrate, see attached exhibit. The site conditions were deplorable; the buildings sat in a sea of asphalt with dumpsters acting as entry points for tenants and visitors, the security lights were broken and there was no real playground for a housing complex with many children. The apartments' entry doors were from the courtyard into the kitchens and not close to the parking lot. This configuration increased security problems for the tenants. When Kohner began managing the complex they realized that the criminal activity, that was driving away tenants, was coming from inside the complex. Kohner established a working relationship with the district police that resulted in 10 arrests and 6 evictions for cause. Both the police and Kohner have publicly acknowledged how successful the partnership had been in accomplishing their goal of making the complex a safe place to live. The physical transformation happened in 9 months. Kohner rebuilt the units with new exteriors, roofs, windows, doors and interiors. Kitchens were totally remodeled and equipped with dishwashers and disposals. Changes were made to the floor plans to make the apartments nicer places to live. New front doors were installed to allow tenant access from the parking lot, the bedrooms were made larger with more closet space by reducing the number of rooms. Four bedroom units became three and three bedroom units became two bedroom apartments.

The site was totally redone. The entire site now has a wrought iron perimeter fence establishing one entrance marked with attractive singe leading to parking lots near the tenants' apartments. Two playgrounds and all new landscaping make the complex an attractive, safe location for family housing. The playgrounds were funded through a HUD grant approved prior to the foreclosure sale. The rents remain affordable at $475 a month for a two-bedroom apartment and $550 for a three-bedroom. The privately financed renovation costs were $1,861,003.91. The only public subsidy is 10-year tax abatement approved by Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority and the St. Louis Board of Alderman. The complex is surrounded by abandoned property much of it is publicly owned lots and vacant buildings in poor condition. The Land Reutilization Authority, the agency that owns the publicly held property, has stepped-up their demolition in the area to reinforce Kohner's investment and Kohner has "adopted" the LRA lots. Kohner cuts the lots and removes dead trees and trash for the LRA. The Bristol Place leasing office opened on January 1,2000, three months from when Kohner Properties took over the complex. The manager has received 186 applications and 29 families have been approved. Of the original 50 tenants, 36 are living in the redeveloped project. The numbers demonstrate both the changes in appearance of the complex but also how it is managed. The changes Kohner Properties has made in Bristol Place and the other two adjoining housing complexes, Murphy Blair Gardens and Murphy Senior Commons, as well as, their maintenance of the LRA owned vacant lots has made this area attractive to other developers. Kohner Properties has totally changed the environment of the eight city blocks they own and/or manage, thereby, opening up the area for redevelopment.

1541 Jvl Housing

The JVL or Jeff Vanderlou properties are a series of scattered site multifamily units in an impoverished neighborhood in north St. Louis. The properties were developed over 30 years ago as low income housing and had fallen into mismanagement and disrepair. Since they were insured by the FHA insurance fund, HUD became concerned as the mortgages defaulted and faced the possibility of foreclosure. The local HUD Office led by the Senior Community Builder, Multifamily Housing, and the Office Counsel convened a large public meeting to explain the nature of the problem and request support for preserving the projects as a source of needed large and affordable units. Meanwhile, two of the projects, JVL 15 and 18 (about 150 units) had been foreclosed upon and owned by HUD. As a result of this process, a new nonprofit, JVL Renaissance INC. was formed for the express purpose of purchasing, renovating, and managing these apartments. The non-profit consisted of leadership from the St. Louis Equity Fund, Beyond Housing, a local nonprofit housing and social services provider, the Grand Rock Church, and the St. Louis School Board. The Mayors Office of the City of St. Louis agreed to support the process and well as the local Alderman. After extensive negotiations, the HUD Property Disposition Center agreed to transfer the properties to the non-profit, JVL Renaissance Inc. for $10 and an upfront grant of $3,000,000. The total development cost of $7,057,852 is also covered by a loan of $1.1 million from Firstar, and $3 million of equity contributed as a result of state 4% tax credits. In addition, the school district announced the development of a new Vashon High School in the JVL neighborhood, and the Danforth Foundation is contributing $5,000.000 in funding for planning of the area. Finally, the city is planning extensive demolition of abandoned properties in the neighborhood.

2109 College Hill Apartments

College Hill Apartments is a 178 unit, Section 221d4 scattered site project located within four city blocks of North St. Louis. The area remains economically and socially depressed with a high crime rate. Seventy-five percent of the units are project based Section 8 with 148 single mothers who have 150 school aged children. The vast majority of these mothers are welfare recipients and lack the necessary skills required to find employment and become socially independent. The original objective of the Center was to concentrate on the women of the neighborhood to provide motivation and self-confidence needed to make the choices in their lives that will lead to greater independence and responsibility. Increased self-confidence and motivation will lead to interest in education, improved parenting skills, work training and experience and neighborhood involvement. The Center is partnering with the Missouri Division of Family Services to provide day-care; Northside Team Ministries, for after school programs for the children; BASIC, a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center to provide counseling, and Let’s Start - a support process for women leaving prison. Word of Mouth has created interest in the center and all residents of the neighborhood are encouraged to attend the Center. The Center has an abundance of educational materials: literacy, pre-GED, GED, educational software and a library of paperback books. Clients have access to a fax machine, e-mail, the Internet, and a copy machine.

2232 Parkview Gardens

The Parkview Gardens Association is a nonprofit 501(c3) community organization founded in 1980 by concerned residents and property owners of the Parkview Gardens neighborhood. Most of the neighborhood is located in University City with a portion located in St. Louis. The Parkview Gardens neighborhood is an historic district of some 260 buildings constructed mostly in the 1920's containing some 1700 rental units. At one time there were 145 owners of the properties causing neighborhood concerns. During the 1980s the area was in a state of rapid decline and the association began a comprehensive strategy to reverse this decline. Since 1989 the Association raised more than $350,000 to fund soft neighborhood services. By 1993 the association realized these programs were not working and began buying problem apartment buildings in order to consolidate ownership and gain control of the neighborhood. As part of the strategy to deal with vacant buildings, the association created a Community Housing Development Organization (DO) and targeted 21 vacant, deteriorated buildings for acquisition and rehabilitation. Completed and fully occupied by the end of 1997, this affordable housing project known as Parkview Gardens Rehab I and II was the second largest scattered site housing project in the St. Louis area in the last decade. This project was complicated and required financing from 12 different sources. The result of the efforts was 114 units of rehabilitated affordable rental housing with a total development cost of over $11 million. The association's successful efforts to deal with both the occupied and vacant problem buildings has created the critical mass so necessary to stabilize and revitalize the neighborhood. Supporting this process were the various soft services and improvement programs begun by the association in earlier years. In 1996 two special business taxing districts were created that generated approximately $55,000 per year to continue funding of these important programs.

2296 Adult Computer Training Lab

The Adult Computer Training Lab (ACTL) is located in the Jefferson Elementary School on the near northside of the City of St. Louis in the Federal Empowerment Zone. The school is nestled in a community of mixed-income housing that includes O'Fallon Place and the George L. Vaughn Residences at Murphy Park, both of which are HUD assisted projects developed by McCormack Baron & Associates (MBA). In 1997, MBA partnered with a community non-profit organization called COVAM Community Development Corporation to revitalize the Jefferson School. Together, they raised over $3.5 million of private funds to provide upgrades to the school and establish it as a model of innovative, urban education. A portion of these funds were used to install a state of the art technology infrastructure in the school that includes networking, computers, and educational software in each classroom and the Adult Computer Training Lab, a computer training classroom for parents and community residents. The ACTL opened in January 1999 and has provided free computer training and access to hundreds of low-income adults in the O'Fallon Place and Murphy Park housing complexes. In June 1999, Vice President Al Gore showcased the ACTL and the Jefferson Elementary School at the 8th annual "Family Re-Union" conference. He praised the revitalization of the school and spoke with community resident Stephanie Booker who told the national audience how she received computer job training at the ACTL and now works at Firststar Bank.

2600 Support Services Provisions Program

Twenty years ago, Beyond Housing became the first nonprofit organization in St. Louis, Missouri to provide low-income families with affordable housing and vital support services. Since 1980, we have assisted nearly 1,000 children and their parents in reaching a brighter tomorrow through our holistic approach to combating poverty. Today, we own and operate 215 homes throughout St. Louis County and serve 875 individuals, including 570 children. Beyond Housing is committed to the prevention of homelessness and promotion of self-sufficiency through our Support Services Provision Program. This program is designed to address the social, health, employment, education and youth development issues of low-income families. Vital support services are provided to assist families in achieving their goals of economic independence—whether that is financial independence, independent rental housing or homeownership. These essential services include: training for homeownership, parenting skills, employment counseling, child care assistance, transportation assistance, money management training, vocational assistance, tuition for post-secondary education, books, GED educational support, job readiness activities, training and education. Special projects include Summer Camp for children, Back-to-School Supplies, Family Picnic, Book Fair, Mama Goose Literacy Program, After-School programming, and "Adopt-a-Family" for the holidays. The key to the success and uniqueness of this program is that these services are provided in addition to and in combination with permanent housing. Through intensive, individualized interaction, case management works collaboratively and respectfully with parents and their children to help them realize and overcome their life obstacles. Once placed in one of our 215 homes, each family creates an Individual Action Plan, which outlines their goals to be achieved on the road to self-sufficiency. Families are encouraged to set personal goals that are designed to help them focus their energies and monitor their progress. Four (4) times a year families are required to fill out personal Goal Sheets that are designed to help them focus on goal attainment. Case management staff assesses the individual needs of each family and determines the level of support necessary to empower them. Each family receives on-going support and motivation along with resources designed to assist their development process. The skill and job training, motivation and educational preparation necessary for families to achieve economic independence are provided. In addition, families receive financial assistance for the tuition, training, childcare and related expenses designed to meet their goals. The objectives of the Support Services Provision Program are achieved through the staff motivating and engaging each of our families in specialized services based on an assessment of individual strengths and needs. Staff supplies regular home visits, along with mail and phone contact, to provide personal attention to each individual family. In order not to duplicate services, staff provides referrals to our families for services not directly offered. The interaction between the families and case management staff provides invaluable assistance with life skills and is critical to help support the development of the entire family. The Support Services Provision Program continues to meet the following objectives each year.

• Develop/Uphold Individual Action Plan for each family and monitor progress toward their short and long term goals;
• Provide educational training, including information and enrollment in educational/vocational courses and financial assistance for tuition;
• Provide life skills training, including resume writing, computer literacy, assertiveness training, parenting skills and money management training · Provide employment preparation through job training, career exploration workshops, and group meetings, including financial assistance to pursue employment opportunities; ·
• Offer programs and information to participating families when the attainment of their goals, such as job retention and household stability, are threatened;
• Provide opportunities for participants to gain experience and leadership skills through the Tenant Newsletter and monthly group meetings;
• Provide youth with group education, support, tutoring, mentoring, and exposure to post high school possibilities; and · Ensure staff is provided with on-going professional training in relevant areas to teach the skills necessary to support and empower families.

As the future expectations of parents increase from welfare dependency to work, their desire for their children to have a better life remains a constant priority. Therefore, Beyond Housing targets specific individualized support services to the youth of our families; with a primary focus to encourage youth to stay in school and help them make informed decisions about their future. This program for the youth of Beyond Housing is designed to provide education, support, tutoring, mentoring, and exposure to post high school possibilities, serving youth in Grades 9-12. In addition, this program is designed to challenge, motivate and assist Beyond Housing’s high school students to establish individual goals beyond secondary education. Youth are referred to classes in life skills and leadership development, including adolescent health care and proper nutrition. In order to help the youth graduate from high school, computer training, computer access and school supplies are provided. Providing the necessary level of support to meet the needs of each individual family is essential, yet Beyond Housing recognizes the importance of group support. Group activities can provide extra motivation and encouragement to our families by meeting peers who are challenging similar life obstacles. Therefore, all Beyond Housing families are encouraged to participate in the services provided through group components of the Support Services Provision Program and planned family activities, ensuring that no family "slips through the cracks". The overall goal of Support Services Provision is to provide a comprehensive range of services and programs, in order to empower families to achieve their greatest level of economic independence. Goals of the Support Services Provision Program for 2000 include: ·

• Expand intensive, comprehensive services to include 15 new heads of household;
• Expand current Individual Development Account (money/asset savings program) to an additional 20 heads of household;
• Provide support and encouragement to help participants actively deal with lifestyle transitions;
• Continue to focus on motivation through setting and achieving goals with families;
• Focus on assisting heads of household to obtain and retain "living wage" employment, sufficient to provide for a family

2746 Etzel Place Apartments and Make a Difference

The St. Louis Association of Community Organizations (SLACO), with the assistance of its development partner (C.F.Vatterott & Co.) and the Missouri Department of Economic Development, has developed after-school and summer educational programming in the community center building of SLACO's Etzel Place Apartments on the north side of the City of St. Louis. This project focuses on assistance to low income, school-age children and family support to the residents of low-income tax credit housing and adjacent public housing. In addition to the tutoring and homework help, the program includes a computer lab with 24 computers, a summer peace camp, a cooking and nutrition program supported by the St. Louis Area Foodbank, arts education and activities, and a community garden. The Etzel Place Make A Difference Center was built in 1996 as part of the 42-unit phase two addition to the existing 63 family apartments. Construction financing for the apartments and the center were provided by the Missouri Housing Development Commission and NationsBank (now Bank of America). The 6,000 square foot community building also houses the management office for the 105-unit Etzel Place Apartments and a police sub-station for officers from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department's 7th district. Support services are offered to the 105 families in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit apartments, some of whom receive public assistance, as well as to the 70 families residing in the public housing complex across the street from the community building. Crucial features of SLACO's "Make A Difference Center" include three main components: a computer lab, a homework room where the children can work with and receive tutoring from education majors from area colleges, and a library. Other support services include periodic parenting seminars and job-readiness fairs. One of the key strengths of this project is that it addresses two very critical needs with one program. The children living in the Etzel Place Apartments and the adjacent public housing, most of whom attend poorly performing public schools, greatly benefit from the tutoring and access to computers and books that are provided through the Make A Difference Center. At the same time, many of the parents of these children have difficulty in finding structured and positive activities for their children after school and during summer months. Many studies have indicated that child care, especially for school age children, is one of the most troublesome barriers to overcome for welfare recipients trying to make the transition to full-time, family-sustaining employment. Another strength of this project, unlike most other after-school or academic enrichment programs, is that it is integrated with existing relationships between the apartment anagement and the residents of these developments. Consequently, mechanisms for letting the target population know about the program already are in place and the tenants of these developments are already familiar with and comfortable at the community building.
