�iuDAC BACKGROUND AND PROCESS -
. .
Tn a 23 July 1986 letter, Joseph: V. Haggerty, Executive Vice
Fresident o! the United Way of the Saint Paul Area, asked Harlan
G�leveland, Dean of the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public
1�ffairs, for Humphrey Institute assistance
in establishinq and chairing a forum which would help our
' ' community negotiate long-term roles for public and private
institutions [and] reach specific agreements regarding the
' the responsibilities for developing programa, providing
• funding, and delivering services. . . [attacking] the
� causes and [alleviating] the effects of hunger and
homelessness [in] Dakota, Ramsey, and Washington counties.
IDean Cleveland and Associate Dean Royce Hanson forwarded this
� 'request to Arthur T. Himmelman, Humphrey Institute Senior Fellow
and Director of the Institute's Public/Private Initiative Project
� (p�plp) . It appeared from the nature of the United Way's request
that a pro�ect specializing in collaborative problem solving
iwould be the most appropriate Humphrey Institute resource.
�After several preparatory meetings with the P/PIP, on 7 October -
1986, the United Way invited supporters of its Emergency Care
! Fund to a discussion of the Fund's current status and possible
new options for better meeting the needs of hungry and homeless
ipeople in the greater Saint Paul area. As a result of this
meeting, the United Way invited a diverse qroup of
Irepresentatives from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors
to participate in a task force on hunger and homelessness
! facilitated by the Humphrey Institute's P/PIP.
i The P/PZP facilitatinq team included Iiimmelman, Humphrey
Institute Senior Fellow Barbara Lukermann, acting as a P/PIP
i consultant, and P/PIP Research Assistant, Iris Lewis. The P/PIP
was also assisted in its overall process by P/PIP Advisory
j Comraittee member, Alan A. Saltzman, P/PIP Research Assistant,
� Mark Fox, and Iiumphrey Institute Education for Reflective
, � Leadership student, Patricia Wilder.
� The collaborative process began when the task force
. (subsequently called the Human Development Action Coalition -
� HuDAC) met on 12 November 1986, and continued with monthly
meetings through April, 1987. In addition, two special
subcommittees, chaired by HuDAC members Mike Anderson and Lois
� Yellowthunder, met to provide detailed analysis of, and options
i for, the Emergency Care Fund (Anderson) and models for case
' managed service delivery (Yellowthunder) .

� EXECUTIVE SUNIlKARY
, HiTMAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION COALITION
I FINAL REPORT
In October 1986, the United Way of the Saint Paul Area (United
Way) asked over 40 representatives of the public, private, and
nonprofit sectors in the greater Saint Paul area to serve on a
' task force, facilitated by the Public/Private Initiative Project
of the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. The
' ' United Way asked the Hwnphrey Institute "to help forge long-term
solutions which attack the root causes of homelessness and hunger
and negotiate appropriate roles for the public, private, and
' nonprofit sectors. "
I The task force named itself the Human Development Action
' Coalition (HuDAC) to emphasize that people in critical need of
housing and food were not to be -"abstracted" as the "homeless" or
� the "hungry" and thereby distanced from the more fortunate in the
community. Rather, the name of the task force underscores that,
as a human being in community, "each member of the community has
elemental rights to security and autonomy; . . .rights [which�
I include adequate nutrition, shelter, clothin�, and opportunity
� for employment, health care and education. " *
Based on a desire to go beyond "treating symptoms of hunger and
homelessness to solutions. eliminating their underlying causes, "
HuDAC committed itself to:
I (A) Developing a cominunity consensus on the causes and problems
of hunger and homelessness;
(B) Seeking improved responses along a continuum of strategies
and services, i.e. , short-tena, transitional, and long-term;
j (C) Ensuring ongoing public accountability for the effectiveness
I of these strategies and services; and
_ (D) Marshaling support from the public, private, and nonprofit
sectors in a variety of community-wide initiatives for and with
. those in crZtical need of adequate housing, food, and/or better
nutrition.
� I After six monthly full committee meetings, and several
� subcommittee meetings, HuDAC developed 75 recommendations, 22 of
which were designated as priorities. HuDAC members feel these
recommendations begin to define, and provide an ongoing basis
for, relationships and responsibilities among the public,
private, and nonprofit sectors which can produce long-term
solutions to the problems of hunger and homelessness in the
� greater Saint Paul area.

uDAC RECOt�IENDS THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE UNITED WAY OF
i E SAINT PAUL AREA ENDORSE THE RECOMMENDATIONS .IN THIS REPORT AT
i`ITS 28 MAY 1987 BOARD MEETING. ONCE. ENDORSED, THE
RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD. BE IMPLEMENTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH
LEADERSHIP AND STAFFING FROM THE UNITED WAY AND ACTIVE
� PARTICIPATION FROM PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
SERVING THE GREATER SAINT PAUL AREA.
AMONG HuDAC'S KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE:
** The primary causes of hunger and homelessness are ongoing and
structural changes in our economy which have resulted in too few
- �obs paying sufficient wages and the lack of affordable housing
for low-income individuals and families.
** The hungry and homeless do not fit within easy categories -
',among them are individuals and families from our communities
� '�from every socio-economic, racial, ethnic, occupational, and
educational background.
** Although some amonq the homeless have had, or continue to
�,have, personal problems which make their self-sufficiency
' difficult or, in some cases impossible, many have had no history
of employment or personal problems which would indicate an
inability to provide food and housing for themselves.
** Increasing numbers of the hungry and the homeless are women
and their children, often newly poverty stricken as a result of
unemployment, the death of a spouse, or from having to leave an
abusive domestic environment.
** Among the guiding principles which should provide ethical
dimensions for specific actions with and for the hungry and the
homeless are:
(A) Each member of the community has elemental rights to security
� and autonomy; these rights include adequate nutrition, shelter,
� clothing, and opportunity for employment, health care, and
� education. Human rights are thus linked to economic rights and
. our vision of the general welfare of the community;
I', (B) The dignity of the human person in community with others is
' the primary standard by which all other social and political acts
- should be measured; and
(C) Justice requires that the poor have the highest claim on the
resources of the community, and that public/community policies be
evaluated by their responsiveness to the needs of the poor.3

� (�-���a�,

. . -
�** Al1 efforts with and for comn►unity members in need of housing,
'food/nutrition, and adequate employment should be sensitive to
� 'cultural differences among individuals, families, and other forms
'of association. This is vital if general programs and services _
;are to respond effectively to the diversity within our
,communities.
� ** In its guiding principles, and its priority and overall
� recommendations, HuDAC reached a consensus on the necessity of
' the public sector to much more fully assume, with the political
' ' support of the private and nonprofit sectors, the primary and
' ongoing responsibility fo4 the well-being of those in critical
� need of food and housing.
' , ** Ultimately, adequate public sector funding should remove
� emergency shelter and food programs from dependency on charitable
� contributions for ongoing service delivery with the exception of
' unusual and temporary crisis, e.g. , natural disasters, accidents
. ' etc.
� ** In the greater Saint Paul area, public sector responsibility
, should be primarily based with Ramsey County which should
- � coordinate the raising and expenditure of public sector funds,
� including federal, state, and city, designated for the hungry and
the homeless in Ramsey County.5
' ** Public sector responsibilities must be emphasized and lobbied
t; �. for at the. federal, state, and city levels to ensure that
; ac�equate overall public resources will be added to the funding
and service contributions of Ramsey County.6
� � ** The Emergency Care Fund should be phased out _by_ 31 December
� 1988 and replaced with new public, private, nonprofit, "community
� caring contracts" which will provide funding, service delivery,
�' ongoing monitoring and assessment, and political support for a
� %'� continuum of programs with and for the hungry and the homeless in
; the greater Saint Paul area.�
- ; ** The United Way of the Saint Paul Area should provide the
� leadership and staffing necessary to facilitate ongoing s of
. � organizational structures which will ensure the effectivenes
' :�� improved collaboration among the public, private,-and nonprofit�_ '� � � �
sectors for the elimination of hunger and homelessness in the
_ ; greater Saint Paul area.8
� ** Periodic public meetings should review ongoing, community-wide
� efforts with and for the hunger and homeless in the greater Saint
� ' Paul area and be used to assist all organizations which have
' undertaken responsibilities for HuDAC recommendations. This is
essential if there is to be connectedness and comprehensiveness
' among efforts including food/adequate nutrition, affordable
' housing, financial assistance, supportive services, and
, employment paying beyond subsistence wages.9

RACTtGROUND ON HUNGER AND HOMELES3NE3S
FROM A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
In their preface to �e aces � Homelessness, currently one of
the best books on the sub�ect in the United States, authors
Mar�orie Hope and James Young write:
In almost every ma�or city, and in some small towns as
well, men, women, and children are sleeping in public
- parks, bus and train stations, caves, railyards, subways,
alleyways, loading docks, and on rooftops and heating
grates. Every winter dozens of Americans literally freeze
to death. Some have perished within sight of the White
House.
� Even more invisible are the evicted families who huddle
together in an armory or other shelter, or the battered
wives carefully protected from vengeful husbands in
concealed shelters, or the "throwaway kids, " most� of them
abused youngsters, who stake out a home (without heat,
electricity, or running water) in an abandoned building. . . .
At no time since the Great Depression has the number of
Americans without homes been so large or represented such
�- a wide cross-section of our society as it does today. �
The homeless are not only roofless, they are hungry. To
be sure, hunger is more widespread than homelessness and
has been growing at a startling rate. The Physician Task
Force on Hunger reported in 1985 that "Hunger is epidemic
in the United States. " The task force found that despite
economic recovery, "hunger is getting worse, not better. "
As evidence it cited growing lines at soup kitchens and
• food pantries, increases in infant mortality, and wide-
� spread malnutrition among the elderly, infants, and the
unemployed. , Hunger and homelessness are twin phenomena.
. The family one sees standing in a soupline may have had
to choose between eating at home or paying the rent. They
are one step away from the street. 12

HUNGRY AND HOMELESS IN MINNESOTA AND IN THE SAINT PAUL ARE1� .
', Numerous studies and reports by Minnesota researchers have
�I confirmed that the assertions of Hope and Young are also true for
Minnesota in general, and in the greater Saint Paul area in
particular. Neal Cuthbert's December, 1986, Metropolitan Council
�, report, "Homelessness, " details the increasing numbers and
'� growing diversity of homeless people in the metropolitan area.l3
' ' Using infonaation from the Saint Paul Shelter Board, Cuthbert
states that approximately 10,000 different people in Saint Paul
used shelters in 1986.14
In a comprehensive report for the Saint Paul YWCA, "A Report on
the Homeless in the Twin Cities, " Arla Budd states that, on a
given day in January, 1986, 2,000 people in the Twin Cities were
on the streets - 30� of whom were in Saint Paul.15 Of particular
� concern for the YWCA are the increasing numbers of women and
children without homes - estimated at 20� of the total homeless
population. According to Budd, "many of these female homeless
are displaced homemakers, newly poor through death, ii16 a
breakdown in the family structure (divorce, abuse) .
', Hunger in Minnesota was recently examined in a •study of people
Iwho use emergency food shelves by the Minnesota Food Education
and Resource Center (MFERC) , a project of the Urban Coalition of
Minneapolis. The study, Homegrown Hunger, documents a steady
I increase in the number of people using food shelves in �every part
�' of Minnesota.l� According to the study, food shelf use grew from
183,000 visits in 1983 to 850, 000 visits in 1985.18 Data from a
1986 MFERC report indicate that 1,061,261 visits were made to
food shelves by Minnesota residents needing to supplement their
food budgets with donated items - a 19$ increase from 1985. The
overall increase from 1982 to 1986 was 481 . The Homegrow Hunger
study also noted that 34� of Minnesotans in poverty must rely on
food shelves each month and, even with this help, many go hungry.
- Food shelf use in the East Saint Paul metro areas has followed
this statewide �attern according to MFERC: in 1985, 106, 029
individuals were served; in 1986, 124, 155 individuals were
served, a 17� east metro area increase in one year. In addition,
the Homegrown Hunger report stated that 60� of adults in its
Saint Paul area survey stated that household members had "missed
� one meal or more in the previous month because they had no food
� or money to buy food. . . [and] 20� of households which had children
�! reported that children had skipped one meal or more in the
' previous month. i19
In reviewing these statistics, it is important to note that there
' has been an increase in the number of food shelves created and
utilized as well as improved efficiency in food distribution.

IBEYOND THE NUMBERS: WHO ARE THE HUNGRY AND THE HOMELESS?
I
iThere is a general consensus among those who have examined the
backgrounds of the hungry and homeless population that "every
walk of life, with every conceivable problem, all agea, sexes,
Iraces, [and] educational levels" are represented. Many have had
long work records and stable lives; others have histories of
personal problems. In the "Final Report of the Committee on
• � Street People, " a committee chaired by Saint Paul City Council
member James Scheibel in 1982, those most severely in need were
idescribed as:
. . .having no permanent address or housing, lacking
marketable skills, having limited or no monetary resources,
having emotional, mental, health, or hygiene problems,
� having no familial ties, having language barriers, in
� flight from the law, parent or domestic abuse, having
been evicted from housing or released from hospital or
! or treatment centers, or an alien or refugee19
; Recently, substantial increases in the number of homeless women
and children have been reported. Arla Budd's Saint Paul YWCA
study describes the conditions of homeless women in three
i categories: (1) the young mother with children, in poverty, ,
divorced or battered, witY� low �ob skills; (2) the middle-aged
, woman, unemployed and many times mentally or emotionally
unstable; and (3) the elderly woman, poverty-stricken and many
times mentally i11.20

' BEYOND THE NUMBERS: WHY ARE PEOPLE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS?
� --
' According to Arla Budd, the causea o! the increase in homeless
women fall into three categories: (1) breakdown of the family
! structure involving divorce, separation or abandonment
which. . .create poverty, foreclosure of mortgages, eviction; (2)
� domestic abuse and violence causing the victims to flee; and (3)
a reduction of welfare benefits.21 It should be kept in mind
� � that these "personal" causes also fall within a larger societal
context of low-paying employment opportunities for women and the
i lack of affordable housing, or any housing, for women with
' children who must rent.
I Federal Housing and Urban Development classifications, cited by
i Hope and Young, suggest that chronic and episodic homelessness
and hunger generally result from: (1) chronic disabilities
i (alcoholism, drug abuse, mental illness) ; (2) personal crisis
(battered women, runaway youth) ; and (3) economic conditions
; (unemployed, welfare recipients) .22
�, A summary of major societal conditions/trends, both nationally
and locally, which contribute to hunger and homelessness
; includes: (1) long-term structural unemployment, particularly for
youth and older, displaced workers; (2) substantial increases in
; single-parent households;• (3) the encouragement of people to flee
abusive situations.; (4) increased substance abuse; (5) migration
� from farm areas to urban areas, and from urban area to urban
area, without success in finding employment; (6) federal
� reallocations of funds from human service to military programs;
(7) tightened eligibility for public assistance; (8) continuing
loss of single room occupancy and other affordable housing for
low-income people; (9) continuing deinstitutionalization" of the
mentally ill, mentally retarded, or other dysfunctional persons
� without adequate community programs to assist them; and (10)
increased reliance on voluntary and philanthropic resources to
I respond to emergencies when such resources are far too limited
" � and should be primarily provided by the public sector.
- These observations on the causes of hunger and homelessness, and
' the diversity of the individuals who find themselves without
housing, food, and/or adequate nutrition, are meant to emphasize
. � that responses seeking to eliminate these problems must be
sensitive to specific conditions and circumstances. Such
� sensitivity requires that stereotyped thinking about hunger
and/or homelessness must be eliminated, and that efforts to
' fundamentally alter such conditions must always support both
il
individual development and social change.

HuDAC MISSION STATEMENT
IHuDAC formulated the following mission statement in order to
create a common basis for the development of ita reconimendations,
a guide for their implementation, and a basis for evaluating
their effectiveness.
i
I
. � The Iiuman Development Action Coalition (HuDAC) of the greater
Saint Paul metropolitan area understands that hungry people "are
chronically unable to purchase an adequate diet, [or]
periodically run out of food altogether, " and homeless people
"are those with no personal claim on adequate living space for
the purpose of overnight habitation or those at risk of having no
personal living space due to lack of money and/or personal
', problems. " Based on this understanding, and agreement that
. community responses must go beyond treating symptoms of hunger
and homelessness to solutions eliminating their underlying
causes, the HuDAC defines its mission as negotiating commitments

'I WILL: .
* Develop a community consensus on the causes and problems of
hunger and homelessness;
* Identify a continuum of 'strategies for services and funding,

HuDAC GUIDING PRINCIPLES
HuDAC's guiding principles resulted from discussions of various �
social �ustice viewpoints offered by HuDAC members and guest
�Ispeakers. HuDAC's guiding pr�nciplea reflect ethical dimensions
! within which specific actions for and with hungry and homeless
people can be assessed from individual, organizational and/or
general community perspectives.
1. EACH MEMBER OF THE CONIIrIiJNITY HAS ELEMENTAL RIGHTS TO
� SECURITY AND AUTONOMY; THESE RIGHTS INCLUDE ADEQUATE
j NUTRITION, SHELTER, CLOTHING, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EMPLOYMENT,
HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE THUS LINKED TO
• ECONOMIC RIGHTS AND OUR VISION OF THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE
COMMUNITY.
� I 2. THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHERS IS
' THE PRIMARY STANDARD BY WHICH ALL OTHER SOCIAL AND POLITICAL
ACTS SHOULD BE MEASURED.
3. JUSTICE REQUIRES THAT THE POOR HAVE THE HIGHEST CLAIM ON THE
� RESOURCES. OF THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT PUBLIC/COMMUNITY
POLICIES BE EVALUATED BY THEIR RESPONSIVENESS TO THE NEEDS
OF THE POOR.
' 4. THE PUBLIC SECTOR HAS THE PRIMARY AND ONGOING RESPONSIBILITY
� FOR PROVIDING FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THOSE IN NEED. TO
ENSURE THAT HUMAN NEEDS ARE MET MOST EFFECTIVELY, THE PUBLIC
SECTOR SHOULD COOPERATE WITH THE PRIVATE, NONPROFIT, AND
RELIGIOUS SECTORS TO COORDINATE RESOURCES AND INCREASE
EXPERTISE.
�
_ I
- 5. SOCIAL INJUSTICE OFTEN RESTJLTS IN MULTI-GENERATIONAL LOSSES
AND IS FAR MORE COSTLY THAN PROVIDING ACCESS TO RESOURCES TO
THOSE IN NEED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
6. IT MUST BE ASSUMED THAT THE HUNGRY AND THE HOMELESS CAN
CHANGE THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR LIVES. THUS EACH MEMBER OF
THE COMMUNITY SEEKING ASSISTANCE SHOULD BE EMPOWERED, TO THE
FULLEST DEGREE POSSIBLE, TO "NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT" WITH
SERVICE PROVIDERS STATING THE RESPONSIBILITIES EXPECTED OF
', EACH WITHIN A MUTUALLY DETERMINED RANGE OF OPTIONS.

,7. THE GOAL OF COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE FOR THE FNNGRY AND THE
HOMELESS WHO ARE ABLE TO WORK SHOULD BE EMPLOYMENT WHICH CAN .
' PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE NUTRITION AND PERMANENT HOUSING.
,
18. ALL COMMLJNITY EFFORTS, FOR AND WITH THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS,
� SHOULD ENHANCE THEIR SECURITY AND AUTONOMY THROUGH A
COMBINATION OF SELF-HELP ACTIONS AND COORDINATED ASSISTANCE
' FROM THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, NONPROFIT, AND RELIGIOUS SECTORS.

9. ADVOCACY, INCLUDING ORGANIZING THE HUNGRY AND THE H ,
� i AND SUPPORTING FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL LEGISLATIVE
ACTION, SHOULD BE AN ESSENTZAL PART OF COMMi7NITY EFFORTS
' SEERING LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS OF HUNGER AND
, HOMELESSNESS.
� 10. WHILE EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS A MEASURE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR LIVES, HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS, AS
I COMMUNITY PROBLEMS, ARE CAUSED BY ATTITUDES, PRACTICES AND
� VALUES, EXPRESSED IN BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE POLICIES, WHICH
CREATED AN IMBALANCE BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL ACCUMULATION OF
' WEALTH, GOODS, AND SERVICES AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION WITHIN
THE COMMUNITY TO ALL' ITS MEMBERS.

{IMPLEMENTING AND MONITORING HuDAC RECOMMENDATIONS
. Throughout the HuDAC process, there was a clear consensus that
some type of ongoing implementation effort must be linked to any
recommendations made by HuDAC for policy changes. There was
�little, if any, interest in simply makinq policy reconunendations
,and offering yet another study to the community without
�commitments, and specific mechanisms, to make things happen.
��In addition to the implementation of policy, funding, and program
changes, HuDAC members want to see these new efforts monitored,
. �assessed, and improved through ongoing public forums. To ensure
�that direction is provided within HuDAC's recommendations, there
'are specific suggestions for the the United Way of the Saint Paul
Area on how to bring together all those who should and can assist
�in solving the problems of hunger and homelessness.
�iuDAC members understand that their specific ideas for the
structure and process of ongoing ccmmittees may or may not be
�,adopted by the United Way. Having recognized this, however,
�iuDAC has reached a strong consensus that the United Way should
'take responsibility for creating an effective structure and
�rocess of some kind as soon as possible - be it as xuDAC
�recommends or in other forms.
Central to any ongoing efforts, from the perspective of HuDAC's
3aission statement and guiding principles, should be the inclusion
'of representatives from among hungry and homeless people in the
�implementation, monitoring, assessing and, whenever necessary, in
�the replacing of HuDAC or other community policy, funding, and
�rogram priorities.
More specifically, as stated in HuDAC's sixth guiding principle,
iwhich assumes "that the hungry and the homeless can change the
conditions of their lives, " it is the view of the Public/Private
'Iriitiative Project, and some HuDAC members, that organizers
-- should be funded to support the legitmate and necessary desires
of the hungry and the homeless to speak and act on their own
behalf. Assistance in this type of organizing is available from:

� PUBLIC/PRIVATE INITIATIVE PROJECT CONCLUDING COMMENTARY
,
It is our view; as facilitators of HuDAC's efforts, that the
� recommendations offered to the community recognize that hunger
� and homelessness have become ongoing, structural characteristics
� of our society. The ongoing and structural nature of these
�, problems are primarilv caused by the lack of employment
� , opportunities providing adequate wages, and the lack of
, affordable housing for low-income individuals and families.
, Solutions to the problems of hunger and homelessness - as opposed
• , to temporary and inadequate remedies - require fundamental
, changes in current societal priorities in producing and
, allocating public and private wealth.
� It is clear that hungry and homeless individuals and families
� , include those from every socio-economic, racial, ethnic,
�occupational, and educational background. Many have had no
�history of employment or personal problems which would suggest
� such calamity in their lives. Others have had, and continue to
�have, problems which make their self-sufficiency difficult or, in
� some cases, impossible. No matter which conditions have brought
them to their immediate emergency, however, it is vital to
�emphasize, to the fullest degree possible, that personal change
� is as much encouraged and .expected as is caring and assistance
� from public, private, and nonprofit organizations and the .
individuals associated with them.
'We must not ignore those among us who find life at its most
'desperate. If not out of humanity for others - which common
'decency requires - then for our own sake. For hunger and
'homelessness know no boundaries beyond which they cannot reach
'and care not about the circumstances of any child, woman, or man
'whom they terrorize. It is for us to care - for their sake and
�our own.

SUMMARY OF FINOINGS
This repo�t descrtbes the amount of revenue for shelter. food, and
emergency assistance programs in Ramsey. Dakota. and Washington Counties; and
it�'' indicates the sources from whlch the funds were received or will be
requested. The tables show 1986 actual total revenue figures and 1987
pro�ected revenue figures. The information was gathered directly from the
agencies and organizations providing the services. (The agencies,
� organizations, and programs included 1n this report are listed in Tables 3, 4,
ar�d 6.)
' In 1986. the largest amount of total revenues came from foundations and
corporations, amounting to more than 2.4 million dollars or about one-third of
the total amount of 7.07 million dollars. Shelter programs (emergency
� sl�elters. transitional housing. single room occupancies. and rental
assistance) recelved about two-thirds of the total revenues in 1986. The
development of single room occupancy housing accounted for nearly half (47X)
of the 1986 total revenues. �
, In 1987, fees for service are pro�ected to produce the largest amount of
rlevenues, about 1 .35 million dollars, or about a quarter of the total amount
of 5.55 million dolla�s. Individual and religious group contributions are
pro�etted to generate about 1 .26 million dollars (23 percent of the total
amount) . Food and emergency assistance programs (on-site meals, food shelves.
F�lare Share) are pro�ected to receive more than half (53X) of the total
revenues in 1987.
From 1986 to 1987, the total amount of revenues is pro3ected to decline
from 7.07 million dollars to 5.55 million dollars, a decrease of 22 percent.
Agencies expect to seek increased amounts of revenues from individual and
� tteligious group contributlons. fees for service, the United Way. and the
- Emergency Care Fund. Decreased amounts of revenue a�e pro�ected to come from
foundations, corporations, and government. The biggest percentage increase in
. revenues is expected from fees for services (75X) . Government funding is
ro�ected to decrease by 73 percent. Fare Share, emergency rental assistance
rograms. and transitional housing programs pro�ect receiving the biggest
increases in the amount of revenues for 1987.
