CITY OF SAINT PAUL DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FACT SHEET: McKlnney Job training program for the homeless WHAT IS THE PROGRAM? 1fie McKinney Job Training Program is a coordinated approach to helping homeless people train for, find,and hold jobs at living wages. It is a one-year demonstration program which could serve as a model for similar programs in other parts of the country. WHO IS IT FOR? It will serve homeless people in Saint Paul who either:.(1)have no regular,fixed overnight shelter;(2) are using emergency overnight shelter;or(3)sleep in places deemed unfit for shelter. WI-IERE WILL TT TAKE PLACE? The program is being coordinated by several agencies(see below) in Saint Paul,so the aczual counseling and training will take place at many sites. These include,but are not limited to,atl seven of Saint Paul's emergency shelters:Union Gospel Mission,Dorothy Day Shelter,Salvation Army Emergency Lodge,Women's Advocates,Case De Esperanza,and the Saint Paul YWCA. VVHAT ARE TTS GOALS? Program organizers aim to enroll 250 people in the program,help them all acquire or maintain stable housing,and place at least 125 of them in stable jobs. WHAT SERVICES WILL IT PROVIDE? People in the program will receive a variety of services based on their individual needs. lfiese include training in basic and occupational skills,work experience,job placement,job coaching,and follow-up. V4'HAT ELSE WILL THE PROGRAM DO? A major intent of the program is to find out what services work best for the homeless. The U.S. � Department of Labor will evaluate it thoroughly as a possible model for other cities to use. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR? The City of Saint Paul has been working closely with all agencies involved to define program services and begin coordinating appropriate referrals. Catholic Charities has advertised job openings for four program staff---one Coordinator/Case Manager and three case managers. These positions should be filled by November 30. The program is scheduled to run through September 30, 1989. WHI'WAS TT STARTED? The City of Saint Paul initiated the program because only five percent of the homeless people in Ramsey County had jobs,even though neazly half of them reported looking for work weekly. Flirthermore,a large majority of the homeless have no income at all. (All figures aze based on surveys by the Saint Paul Overnight Shelter Board.) This program will help some homeless people find the jobs they need to become more self-sufficient. HOW IS TT FUNDED? The program is funded by a 5661,705 grant from the U.S.Department of Labor through the Stewart B.McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. In addition,all agencies participating(see betovt�)will support the program through staff time and expertise. HOW IS TT UNUSUAL? Nationally,this program is one of only 35 job programs for the homeless funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. Of those,it received the second largest grant award. Locally,it is an excellent example of a coordinated effort among many diverse agencies to address a comptex problem. -tnore- 11/1/88 �� � 1400 City Hall Annex, 25 West Fourth Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 � �� . � . . . � . ���/9oD (Fact Sheet, Il/1/88,McKinney job program for the homeles�page 2) WHO I5 RUNI�IING IT?

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS SERVE THE HOMELESS LOCALLY? Since the homeless are a diverse population with diverse needs,many programs must coordinate to help them. In Saint Paul these include seven emergency shelters,the'I�vin Cities More Than Shelter Program,other efforts by the city to provide affordable housing to low-and moderate-income families,and the West Side Health Center's program to provide health care to people in emergency sheiters.
