Depopulating St. Joseph’s shelter to manage the virus meant we were picking winners and losers in a population that is already the most down and out. Due to social distancing requirements, we could only operate this shelter in Hyannis at half capacity. When the country was told to shelter in place, many of the most vulnerable were turned out to the streets. The typical overcrowding and lack of individualized care planning was not going to work during Covid. Even though we were able to pivot and managed to identify temporary space for our clients, this further pointed out our precarious shelter system which is in dire need of community intervention and investment. Now that we have experienced another way to operate, we know we can and must do better. We are advocating for a systemic transformation in this service area. Housing Assistance is taking the lead on the acquisition and rehabilitation of the building for the greater good of the community, they have the expertise and the resources. At completion of the shelter renovations, Housing Assistance will not operate the programs, but act as the property owner/manager. Duffy Health Center will operate the medical respite services, mental health and case management services in the ARC and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River will run the shelter operations including the relocation of clients currently housed at St. Joseph’s House in Hyannis. Type of Organization Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River (CCFR) Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River (CCFR) formally named Catholic Social Services (CSS) is committed to improving the quality of life for those in need by providing comprehensive social and human services including basic and emergency needs, homelessness, immigration issues, housing and residential services, disabilities, adoption, mental health counseling, elder health services, neighborhood rehabilitation, foreclosure help, citizenship services and more. CCFR works with persons of all faiths and cultures in the Spirit of God’s universal love to advance human dignity and promote social justice, truth, and solidarity in our community. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River, Inc. is a multi-service, multi-sited not-for-profit organization serving Southeastern Massachusetts. Our diverse programming model embodies its mission, “to help those in need,” with services designed to reach out to those facing socioeconomic, cultural and racial barriers that preclude their engagement in mainstream services. The mission of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River responds to those who face various forms of oppression and injustice. CCFR employs linguistically proficient, culturally diverse/sensitive staff that demonstrate a unique capacity to strengthen the clients with whom we work. CCFR is currently the largest provider of social and human services to immigrants in the southeast region. CCFR is also the largest provider of food outside of Boston, and the largest provider of beds for the homeless outside of the Greater Boston region. Our programs provide services to individuals and target systemic discrepancies, thereby fulfilling our mission to address immediate and structural problems encountered by the disadvantaged. CCFR formally links and collaborates with local parishes, agencies and systems to create strengthened community services. As the current operator/manager of all client services at the St Joseph’s shelter in Hyannis, we fully support the the Assistance Resource Center (ARC) and request ARPA funding through this RFP to fund the acquisition, rehabilitation and finishing equipment and materials necessary to bring our new modernized expanded shelter to fruition. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River will be responsible for all day-to-day shelter operations at the Assistance Resource Center. Detailed responsibilities of CCFR and Duffy Health Center are detailed in letters of support for the project which were sent to Mass Development. CCFR has proudly served the community since 1924. Originating primarily as an adoption and welfare agency, CCFR’s scope of service has broadened to serve the many needs in our area. CCFR operates within the physical boundaries of the Diocese of Fall River providing over 30 unique programs that promote improving quality of life for the poor and those in need, strengthen individuals, and families and advocating for social justice.

Project Narrative Project Scope and Approach According to the 2022 Cape Cod Healthcare Community Health Needs Assessment Report, "Given the impact that social factors have on health, community survey respondents were asked to identify the social issues most affecting the community. ‘Housing or homelessness’ was identified as the top concern affecting the community by 75% of respondents, followed closely by ‘access to health care services’ (74% of respondents). Like water and food, having a safe, stable place to live is at the very core of basic human needs. Without it, people are simply surviving, all other needs including physical and mental health are not priorities. People experiencing homelessness lack sustainable access to housing and often turn to places not meant for overnight residence such as encampments, in vehicles or unsafe forms of shelter not meant for human habitation. In the Unites States between 2.5 and 3.5 million people experience homelessness over the course of any given year. Housing is an important determinant of health, and those who experience homelessness are at greater risk for health challenges. People with disabilities are disproportionately likely to experience homelessness. Point-in-time counts (i.e., counts of the people in a community experiencing homelessness on a single night) suggest that nearly one quarter of individuals experiencing homelessness have a disability, including physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, as well as mental health and/or substance abuse disorders. (NACCHO, 2019) Being homeless is extremely stressful and made worse by being exposed to communicable diseases (e.g., TB, respiratory illnesses, flu, hepatitis, etc.), violence, malnutrition, and harmful weather exposure. Chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma become worse because there is no safe place to store medications properly. Numerous health conditions among people who are homeless are frequently a complex mix of serious physical, mental health, substance use, and social problems. Poor health, high stress, unhealthy and dangerous environments, and an inability to control food intake often result in frequent visits to emergency rooms and hospitalizations. Stable housing not only provides privacy and safety, it is also a place to rest and recuperate from surgery, illness, and other ailments without worry about where to sleep and find a meal, or how to balance these needs with obtaining health care and social services. (National Health Care for the Homeless Council 2019) Homelessness is closely connected to declines in physical and mental health; homeless persons experience high rates of health problems such as HIV infection, alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness, tuberculosis, and other conditions. Health problems among homeless people result from various factors, such as barriers to care, lack of access to adequate food and protection, and limited resources and social services. ( CDC, Homelessness as a Public Health Law Issue, 2017). Cape Cod is no exception to this finding with a disturbing 53% increase in Housing Assistance's elder homeless clients in 2021 even more alarming is the number of homeless clients with disabilities, a staggering 75% reported a physical or developmental disability. Assistance Resource Center- A Modernized Shelter Model- An Evidence Based Solution In April 2021, with Covid still a pandemic and the Commonwealth still under many restrictions, a sub-committee of Barnstable County’s Regional Network on Homelessness – Homeless Data to Action (HD2A) – was convened to discuss a regional approach to care. HD2A was made up of local police and health & human service organizations from across Cape Cod & the Islands. The committee worked collaboratively with a cross-sector of professionals to gain a regional perspective on homelessness and inform future opportunities. In short, we began to develop a vision of the gold standard of homeless care-a systemic shift in how we treat the most vulnerable. A larger expended shelter with more space for each person- a single point of entry with collaborated and collocated services which include medical respite, food, mental health services and structured day programs. Further, this group realized the most disenfranchised population was having to move from service to service. A need for more collaboration and a single point of entry would provide better outcomes for this group. Homeless client needs are extensive and acute- medical respite, mental health, food programs, supervised day programs, and regional client data and referral coordination could be under one roof. This will save the population from using their own resources to move around from service to service. The need for regional collaboration to better serve the community will have a tremendous impact on helping those in need find shelter and services. This process has reinforced the fact that we all share the same clients and see them in many different facets of their life. As a result of these sessions, a strategic framework was developed and with ARPA funding on the horizon, a regional collaborative program could move forward, thus the Assistance Resource Center (ARC) was conceptualized by Housing Assistance Corporation, Duffy Health Center and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River. We know that having a safe place to live is at the base of building healthy individuals. Homeless individuals are much more likely to have very limited or no access to health care, and therefore are at a greater risk of chronic disease. Our proposal for an expanded modernized shelter -the Assistance Resource Center is an evidence-based housing first model. Housing First ( including low barrier housing) decreases homelessness, increases housing stability and improves the quality of life for people who are homeless. The requirements for entry are limited or minimal. With a focus on “harm reduction,” low-barrier shelters encourage homeless individuals to seek resources by eliminating those obstacles. ARC will provide a safe environment where basic shelter and food needs are met, and other root causes can be addressed through case management, medical respite and mental health services. The ARC will be welcome and open to all regardless of race, gender, and health factors. The current figures from St Joseph’s House in Hyannis support the data from Housing Assistance; the highest percentage of clients (27%) in 2023 who need overnight shelter and services are age 62 plus. Other age groups including 25-34, 35-44,45-54 and 55-61 make up the other categories 13%, 23%,17%, 17% respectively; 3% are between the ages of 18-24. The number of males served at St Joseph’s in 2023 is disproportionately higher than women at 64%. 76% of all ages seeking services are white, the remaining 24% are BIPOC. St. Joseph’s has served 179 unduplicated clients to date in 2023. Their annual average over the last six years is 198 clients, the increased need is reflected in the 2023 figure-five months into the year, and they are already at 90% of their annual average. Scope of Services & Project Tasks Task 1: Establish Medical Respite Services for Homeless Persons Establish medical respite services through acute and post-acute medical care in Barnstable County for those who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or injury on the streets but are not ill enough to be in a hospital. The ARC will provide medical respite services as described above; these services will be provided by Duffy Health Center onsite. Task 2: Serve Aging and Medically Fragile Homeless Persons Address the needs of aging and medically fragile homeless persons on Cape Cod by providing shelter and supportive services. The ARC will serve aging and medically fragile homeless persons through medical respite and other health related services provided by Duffy Health Center onsite. Task 3: Upgrade or Relocate the St. Joseph House Shelter To support Tasks 1 and 2 the Shelter may require renovation or relocation. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River is the applicant of these funds and agrees to support the shelter population as outlined above and relocate the clients after the renovation of the ARC is completed. Task 4: Serve All of Regions of Barnstable County Ensure that all homeless persons from all sub- regions of Cape Cod (Upper, Middle, Lower, Outer Cape) have access to Shelter services. The ARC is open to all and will provide services to all homeless persons across Cape Cod; this is a regional shelter, and all partners agree to work with other local agencies who provide services to the homeless to coordinate services for their clients at the ARC. Program Goals for the Assistance Resource Center are: 1.Renovate and rehabilitate the building located at 55 Falmouth Road ( formally WB Mason) in Hyannis. 2.Rehabilitate and renovate the building to accommodate new expended collocated services for a homeless shelter for individuals. 3. Safely shelter the homeless in Barnstable County in a new expanded modernized shelter with 60 beds. 4. Prevent physical harm and possible death from exposure and other threats to the safety of this vulnerable population. 5. Connect shelter clients to multiple vital community resources while staying at the ARC including medical respite, mental health, food, case management, day programs, transitional housing and mainstream benefits. Program Objectives for the Assistance Resource Center are: 1.Provide 60 beds ( with 5 reserved for medical respite) for homeless vulnerable residents in Barnstable County. 2. Provide collaborated services for the homeless with Duffy Health Center and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River in one location into a building which allows for a single point of entry. 3.Identify a safe living situation such as transitional or permanent housing for ARC clients. 4. Enhance collaborations with outside referral agencies for this targeted population. 5. Coordinate interdepartmental services at HAC with the Outreach team and Homeless Services Team. Project Timeline & Progress to Date 1) Established site control through an offer to purchase the property. Housing Assistance Corporation made a formal written offer on the property located at 55 Falmouth Road in Hyannis. The offer has been accepted and they anticipate a signed Purchase & Sales Agreement within 45 days- by July 10, 2023. Closing and full occupancy within 90 days- by August 31, 2023, with construction to begin on September 15, 2023. 2) Reviewed applicable regulatory requirements, such as zoning, required to permit this project. 3) Hired an architect and developed a design concept that achieves the project's objectives. Renderings are included in this proposal. 4) Engaged with a general contractor for construction estimate to complete the required rehab work. The contractor worked closely with the HAC project team and the architect to develop a detailed construction estimate. This estimate outlines the scope of work, materials, labor costs, and a timeline for completing the necessary rehabilitation work. The estimated time from pre-construction to full occupancy is 15 months from the final purchase 5)The estimated date for relocation of services and opening of the Assistance Resource Center is December 2024 if all other timelines are achieved. The construction contract will have contingency timelines with a six-month extension if factors impede the construction including but not limited to supply chain issues, weather conditions, permitting delays and other conditions which effect the ability to complete the project on schedule. The Town of Barnstable's Housing Production Plan has a stated goal of "Assist in stabilizing housing and provide housing assistance programs and services for Barnstable’s most vulnerable residents – especially those living in inadequate housing conditions, homeless, or at risk of homelessness. The Assistance Resource Center is supported by local and state partners/officials, their letters of support are included in this proposal. The letters included in this proposal were sent to Mass Development for additional funds to support the Assistance Resource Center. Also included are letters of support and detailed scope of services from Duffy Health Center and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River. Housing Assistance Corporation submitted a proposal to Cape Cod Healthcare for partial funding for the purchase of the building located at 55 Falmouth Road in Hyannis. The proposal has been accepted and is pending review from the Department of Public Health. Conclusion The ripple effect of homelessness is felt throughout our community. It impacts the availability of healthcare and financial resources, crime and safety, and the workforce. The consequences to individuals are life altering including loss of self-esteem, becoming institutionalized, increased substance misuse, loss of ability and will to care for oneself, increased danger of abuse and violence, increased chance of entering the criminal justice system, and development of behavioral problems. (washington.edu) Further, homelessness impacts the present as well as the future. It benefits all of us to break the cycle of homelessness, one person, one family at a time. This is an opportunity to use ARPA, other public and private funding toward our regional problem of homelessness. Overcrowding in the shelter, an increase in people sleeping outside, services that are scattered across the region and service gaps contribute to poor outcomes for this population and challenging dynamics for our tourist economy. Now is the time to step back and plan with intention a collaborative path forward that contributes to better outcomes for the most vulnerable in our society.

Project Narrative Project Scope and Approach According to the 2022 Cape Cod Healthcare Community Health Needs Assessment Report, "Given the impact that social factors have on health, community survey respondents were asked to identify the social issues most affecting the community. ‘Housing or homelessness’ was identified as the top concern affecting the community by 75% of respondents, followed closely by ‘access to health care services’ (74% of respondents). Like water and food, having a safe, stable place to live is at the very core of basic human needs. Without it, people are simply surviving, all other needs including physical and mental health are not priorities. People experiencing homelessness lack sustainable access to housing and often turn to places not meant for overnight residence such as encampments, in vehicles or unsafe forms of shelter not meant for human habitation. In the Unites States between 2.5 and 3.5 million people experience homelessness over the course of any given year. Housing is an important determinant of health, and those who experience homelessness are at greater risk for health challenges. People with disabilities are disproportionately likely to experience homelessness. Point-in-time counts (i.e., counts of the people in a community experiencing homelessness on a single night) suggest that nearly one quarter of individuals experiencing homelessness have a disability, including physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, as well as mental health and/or substance abuse disorders. (NACCHO, 2019) Being homeless is extremely stressful and made worse by being exposed to communicable diseases (e.g., TB, respiratory illnesses, flu, hepatitis, etc.), violence, malnutrition, and harmful weather exposure. Chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma become worse because there is no safe place to store medications properly. Numerous health conditions among people who are homeless are frequently a complex mix of serious physical, mental health, substance use, and social problems. Poor health, high stress, unhealthy and dangerous environments, and an inability to control food intake often result in frequent visits to emergency rooms and hospitalizations. Stable housing not only provides privacy and safety, it is also a place to rest and recuperate from surgery, illness, and other ailments without worry about where to sleep and find a meal, or how to balance these needs with obtaining health care and social services. (National Health Care for the Homeless Council 2019) Homelessness is closely connected to declines in physical and mental health; homeless persons experience high rates of health problems such as HIV infection, alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness, tuberculosis, and other conditions. Health problems among homeless people result from various factors, such as barriers to care, lack of access to adequate food and protection, and limited resources and social services. ( CDC, Homelessness as a Public Health Law Issue, 2017). Cape Cod is no exception to this finding with a disturbing 53% increase in Housing Assistance's elder homeless clients in 2021 even more alarming is the number of homeless clients with disabilities, a staggering 75% reported a physical or developmental disability. Assistance Resource Center- A Modernized Shelter Model- An Evidence Based Solution In April 2021, with Covid still a pandemic and the Commonwealth still under many restrictions, a sub-committee of Barnstable County’s Regional Network on Homelessness – Homeless Data to Action (HD2A) – was convened to discuss a regional approach to care. HD2A was made up of local police and health & human service organizations from across Cape Cod & the Islands. The committee worked collaboratively with a cross-sector of professionals to gain a regional perspective on homelessness and inform future opportunities. In short, we began to develop a vision of the gold standard of homeless care-a systemic shift in how we treat the most vulnerable. A larger expended shelter with more space for each person- a single point of entry with collaborated and collocated services which include medical respite, food, mental health services and structured day programs. Further, this group realized the most disenfranchised population was having to move from service to service. A need for more collaboration and a single point of entry would provide better outcomes for this group. Homeless client needs are extensive and acute- medical respite, mental health, food programs, supervised day programs, and regional client data and referral coordination could be under one roof. This will save the population from using their own resources to move around from service to service. The need for regional collaboration to better serve the community will have a tremendous impact on helping those in need find shelter and services. This process has reinforced the fact that we all share the same clients and see them in many different facets of their life. As a result of these sessions, a strategic framework was developed and with ARPA funding on the horizon, a regional collaborative program could move forward, thus the Assistance Resource Center (ARC) was conceptualized by Housing Assistance Corporation, Duffy Health Center and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River. We know that having a safe place to live is at the base of building healthy individuals. Homeless individuals are much more likely to have very limited or no access to health care, and therefore are at a greater risk of chronic disease. Our proposal for an expanded modernized shelter -the Assistance Resource Center is an evidence-based housing first model. Housing First ( including low barrier housing) decreases homelessness, increases housing stability and improves the quality of life for people who are homeless. The requirements for entry are limited or minimal. With a focus on “harm reduction,” low-barrier shelters encourage homeless individuals to seek resources by eliminating those obstacles. ARC will provide a safe environment where basic shelter and food needs are met, and other root causes can be addressed through case management, medical respite and mental health services. The ARC will be welcome and open to all regardless of race, gender, and health factors. The current figures from St Joseph’s House in Hyannis support the data from Housing Assistance; the highest percentage of clients (27%) in 2023 who need overnight shelter and services are age 62 plus. Other age groups including 25-34, 35-44,45-54 and 55-61 make up the other categories 13%, 23%,17%, 17% respectively; 3% are between the ages of 18-24. The number of males served at St Joseph’s in 2023 is disproportionately higher than women at 64%. 76% of all ages seeking services are white, the remaining 24% are BIPOC. St. Joseph’s has served 179 unduplicated clients to date in 2023. Their annual average over the last six years is 198 clients, the increased need is reflected in the 2023 figure-five months into the year, and they are already at 90% of their annual average. Scope of Services & Project Tasks Task 1: Establish Medical Respite Services for Homeless Persons Establish medical respite services through acute and post-acute medical care in Barnstable County for those who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or injury on the streets but are not ill enough to be in a hospital. The ARC will provide medical respite services as described above; these services will be provided by Duffy Health Center onsite. Task 2: Serve Aging and Medically Fragile Homeless Persons Address the needs of aging and medically fragile homeless persons on Cape Cod by providing shelter and supportive services. The ARC will serve aging and medically fragile homeless persons through medical respite and other health related services provided by Duffy Health Center onsite. Task 3: Upgrade or Relocate the St. Joseph House Shelter To support Tasks 1 and 2 the Shelter may require renovation or relocation. Housing Assistance is the applicant of these funds and agrees to support the shelter population as outlined above and relocate the clients after the renovation of the ARC is completed. Task 4: Serve All of Regions of Barnstable County Ensure that all homeless persons from all sub- regions of Cape Cod (Upper, Middle, Lower, Outer Cape) have access to Shelter services. The ARC is open to all and will provide services to all homeless persons across Cape Cod; this is a regional shelter, and all partners agree to work with other local agencies who provide services to the homeless to coordinate services for their clients at the ARC. Program Goals for the Assistance Resource Center are: 1.Renovate and rehabilitate the building located at 460 West Main Street in Hyannis. 2.Rehabilitate and renovate the building to accommodate new expended collocated services for a homeless shelter for individuals. 3. Safely shelter the homeless in Barnstable County in a new expanded modernized shelter with 60 beds. 4. Prevent physical harm and possible death from exposure and other threats to the safety of this vulnerable population. 5. Connect shelter clients to multiple vital community resources while staying at the ARC including medical respite, mental health, food, case management, day programs, transitional housing and mainstream benefits. Program Objectives for the Assistance Resource Center are: 1.Provide 60 beds ( with 5 reserved for medical respite) for homeless vulnerable residents in Barnstable County. 2. Provide collaborated services for the homeless with Duffy Health Center and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River in one location into a building which allows for a single point of entry. 3.Identify a safe living situation such as transitional or permanent housing for ARC clients. 4. Enhance collaborations with outside referral agencies for this targeted population. 5. Coordinate interdepartmental services at Housing Assistance with the Outreach team and Homeless Services Team. Project Timeline & Progress to Date 1) Established site control through an offer to purchase the property. Housing Assistance Corporation is finalizing negotiations on the property located at 460 West main Street in Hyannis. All parties are engaged in active negotiation and finalized purchase agreement with the intent to close by June 30, 2024. Closing and full occupancy within 90 days- by October 31, 2024, with construction to begin on November 1, 2024. 2) Reviewed applicable regulatory requirements, such as zoning, required to permit this project. The Dover Amendment applies to the Assistance Resource Center. Explanation of The Dover Amendment is attached to this proposal. 3) Hired an architect and developed a design concept that achieves the project's objectives. Renderings are included in this proposal. 4) Engaged with a general contractor for construction estimate to complete the required rehab work. The contractor worked closely with the Housing Assistance project team and the architect to develop a detailed construction estimate. This estimate outlines the scope of work, materials, labor costs, and a timeline for completing the necessary rehabilitation work. The estimated time from pre-construction to full occupancy is 15 months from the final purchase 5)The estimated date for relocation of services and opening of the Assistance Resource Center is June 2025, if all other timelines are achieved. The construction contract will have contingency timelines with a six-month extension if factors impede the construction including but not limited to supply chain issues, weather conditions, permitting delays and other conditions which effect the ability to complete the project on schedule. The Town of Barnstable's Housing Production Plan has a stated goal of "Assist in stabilizing housing and provide housing assistance programs and services for Barnstable’s most vulnerable residents – especially those living in inadequate housing conditions, homeless, or at risk of homelessness. The Assistance Resource Center is supported by local and state partners/officials, their letters of support are included in this proposal. The letters included in this proposal were sent to Mass Development for additional funds to support the Assistance Resource Center. Also included are letters of support and detailed scope of services from Duffy Health Center and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River. Housing Assistance Corporation submitted a proposal to Cape Cod Healthcare for partial funding for the purchase of the building located at 460 West Main Street in Hyannis. The proposal has been accepted and is pending review from the Department of Public Health. Conclusion The ripple effect of homelessness is felt throughout our community. It impacts the availability of healthcare and financial resources, crime and safety, and the workforce. The consequences to individuals are life altering including loss of self-esteem, becoming institutionalized, increased substance misuse, loss of ability and will to care for oneself, increased danger of abuse and violence, increased chance of entering the criminal justice system, and development of behavioral problems. (washington.edu) Further, homelessness impacts the present as well as the future. It benefits all of us to break the cycle of homelessness, one person, one family at a time. This is an opportunity to use ARPA, other public and private funding toward our regional problem of homelessness. Overcrowding in the shelter, an increase in people sleeping outside, services that are scattered across the region and service gaps contribute to poor outcomes for this population and challenging dynamics for our tourist economy. Now is the time to step back and plan with intention a collaborative path forward that contributes to better outcomes for the most vulnerable in our society.

DESCRIPTION DATE The Dover Amendment Exemption Housing Assistance is purchasing the building located at 460 West Main Street in Hyannis to house our new shelter for 60 individuals, the Assistance Resource Center. The building is currently utilized as office space for Housing Assistance, Cape Cod Healthcare and South Coast Legal Services. The Assistance Resource Center will also include educational services and the center use will fall under The Dover Amendment described below which will exempt the property from zoning restrictions. The Dover Amendment, formally delineated under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40A, Section 3, provides exemptions for religious and educational entities from certain local zoning ordinances and regulations. These exemptions encompass restrictions pertaining to land use, density, setbacks, and other zoning constraints that would typically apply to construction or expansion projects. The overarching intent of the Dover Amendment is to safeguard the autonomy of religious and educational institutions in the pursuit of their respective missions without undue impediment from municipal zoning statutes.
