Detailed description of project (including description of need, scope of work, methodology, who benefits, number
of beneficiaries, other project partners, etc.):
Access to Recovery - Addiction is a disease that impacts every aspect of our community and contributes to some of our
most devastating social problems. It is often a silent partner in domestic violence, child abuse, teen pregnancy, high
school dropout, and crime. It threatens families as well as the very fabric of our society. Drug abuse is a growing
problem that is best addressed by comprehensive programs that combine community resources, professional intervention,
and local financial support. All too often, by the time an alcoholic/addict seeks help he/she has lost employment and the
health insurance benefits that go with employment. The State of Texas provides help for individuals who cannot afford
drug/alcohol treatment. Access to Recovery (ATR) links people to the state-funded treatment. Through ATR, ETCADA
provides a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor at the Paris office (3737 Lamar Ave #200) to administer clinical
screening/assessment and referral for those who are seeking help for their addiction. The counselor is available at the Par-
is office one day per weel<. Because treatment is under-funded in Texas, most often clients must wait for placement. Dur-
ing this interval, the ETCADA counselor offers crisis intervention and brief motivational counseling to individuals to keep
them engaged in the process of accessing treatment or other recommended services. The ATR counselor will detennine
the type aiid intensity of services needed by the client and when appropriate, shall address the family as a unit, provide
referrals for family members, including prevention services for the children. Outreach is used to provide community
aNvareness of the Council's services and resources. ETCADA maintains crisis help 24/7 through its toll free Help Line
(800.441.8639). During 2009, our counselor saw 19 Paris residents and responded to ten (10) hotline calls.
School-I3used Prevention Program: Using research-based curricula with proven outcomes, trained ETCADA staff facili-
tate drug and alcohol prevention programs in Paris and North Lamar ISDs. These programs are designed to reduce the
onset of the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs by youth. ETCADA's prevention program serves youth in grades 3-8.
Students, grade 3-5, go through an 8-week curriculum, Life Skills Training, and one weel< of Tobacco Prevention training.
Students, grade 6-8, go through a 10-week curriculum, Youth Connection, and two one-weel< sessions of Tobacco Preven-
tion. Outcomes are measured through pre-post tests. During 2009, 723 Paris and North Lamar students participated in
school-based prevention programs.
Jztvenile Probation Program: YoLith in Paris Alternative School participate in an intensive iutervention program called
Project Toward No Drug Ab_use. Utilizing an outcome-based curriculum, students work through the 10-week program

RE: Request for City Funding
Dear Mr. Anderson;
First of all we would like to thank you for the opportunity to present our mission,
and cause to the Council on Monday night 3uly 26, 2010.
The money we have received in the past has helped so many by helping pay our
utilities, purchase food, birth certificates, and drivers license for those who come
to us under duress. Supplies to help bring us up to code with the City Fire Marshal.
Attached you will find the original application that was mailed along with a
detailed proposal of our program.
We appreciate the opportunity to request funding for this much needed operation
in our City. In light of the changing economic times we are ready to assist the
disenfranchised, the abandoned, the eiderly and most of all the children. Ensuring
that they have a safe home like environment with clean sheets and hot meals. We
can be proud of our City because we have something like this in place and we
won't end up with like Bioomfield Indiana did most recently with a large homeless
population.
5incerely,
va,/Lo-.

partner with us in filling the needs of homeless women and children of Paris. We
respectfully request $10,000 as the year before. Below you will find a brief table of

Program Description
Models of the Maker is a faith-based, non-profit organization, with a strong
volunteer base and governed by a dedicated board of directors. We serves as a
emergency shelter as well as a long-term program for the homeless women and
children.
Phase I- Entry level of the shelter provides food, clothes, shelter, educational
classes as well as spiritual training. We have added a Chapel to our facility. That
includes Sunday and Wednesday Services as well as a Biblical based Substance Abuse
Recovery class weekly. This is offered to our clients at absolutely no cost to them.
Phase I time frame is handled individually according to the mental state and severity of
the problems of each client. Also during this phase we have a mandatory work program
96
thru the KEYS class at the YWCA located in Paris. Another strengthening tool we give
our lades is an incentive program at which time the ladies earn incentive dollars for
additional clothing, or personal needs or by practicing the "Golden Rule".
Phase II -Client should have a full time job or attending College / GED Classes
with a part time job. At this time the clients have a certain level of accountability for their
residency. They pay a$156.00 monthly room rent and are still involved in all the
resources Model's of the Maker offers. This prepares them for the accountability of
independent living.
Phase III - This involves the client moving into the upper level of our facility.
Where they will rent a furnished apartment with all bills paid for $425.00 monthly. Where
we continue to monitor their behavior for 6 months.
The overall goal is to empower women to break the cycle of homelessness by teaching
positive life skills and by decreasing negative behaviors which are the major factors in
their being homeless. Specific program objectives include:
• Increase the number of women and their children who are able to maintain a
stable living environment after receiving shelter and assistance to find housing.
■ Increase number of women and their children who obtain and continue
employment as a result of agency involvement.
■ Increase the number of women and their children who are provided financial
counseling and training and who are maintaining a stable balance and no longer
accessing community resources.
■ tncrease the number of women and their children who obtain Education
Assistance and obtain a GED, Associates Degree, level of training as a result of
agency involvement.
Ryan's Heart is a project of Models of the Maker and once we are open for
occupancy each young man will have to follow the following level plan to accelerate in
our program.
Residents may move at their own pace through four levels of increasing
responsibility and privileges, within each level there will also be advances as the resident

Budget Explanation
Yet we have not balanced our need for salaries in our budget. Supervision is essential
in dealing with the homeless population. As well as having committed staff to coordinate a
structured educational program. These needs are being sought after in various areas, the
need for unrestricted funds to support our operational budget is essential for our long term
success.
Other Support
Current financial support comes from the local community including churches,
organizations, businesses and individuals. Local industry in-kind support includes Campbell
Soup which provided 3,000 cases food, Kimberly Clark Corporation has donated over 6,080
cases of diapers and pull ups feminine products. Which has enabled us to serve many more
non-residential clients in our community.
City funding add's to the financial support base. Currently we are awaiting to be approved by
United Way for 2010-2011 previously we were funded $8257.00. Funds from the rental fees
from the transitional housing project are documented in the budget and all bills paid.

Detailed descrlpflons of project (inclading description of aeed, scope of wrork, methodolog,y, who benefita,
number of bene5ciaries, other projeet psrtners, etc.): SAFUT was founded in Titus County in 1995 to assi_st
victims of domestic violence and sexual assanlt. The 6rst shelber opsw¢ in August 1996 with funding from Texas
Heahh and Human Services Commission, and later funds from the Office of flie Attarney General for a Sexual Assauk
Program. Since that time._SAFE-T staff and budget has grown fiom 2 volunteers ta ovar 24 employees with a sYartintt
budget of $21,0(}0 to over $850.000/vear. In the gast 15 xears many things have been ac+eomFlished including:
renovating a day care cetrter into a shelter, openi.ng Thrift stores (3) and btulding a 7.200 square foot Admnusuation
/Education Non-resideirtial services center in 2005. The shelter and Mt. Pleasant Thri.ft s#ore are debt free and owned
by SAFE-T. The Admin offiee has a remain,ing balance of 5190.000 wluch is reduced from profit made from the ML
Pleasant Thrift Store. Emergencv reserve funds remain af $100,000.
imat* three years ago, a group of citims from Lamar County visited the SAFE-T Board and Staff in Mt
Aonax
Pleasant in order to ask for assistance in vroviding services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in
Lamar County. The result of the two hour discussion resulted in the opening, af an office in Peris witb volunteer
assistanca. This group of service providers and concerned citizens included: Child Protective Service, CASA, business
members, victims of abuse, and the Dishict Attorney's office. At this time Family Haven was providinp~minimal
services to victirm but out of respect for this agency, SAFE-T did not advertise and remained in the bac ound
accepting refeirais from the service aeencies that brought it to Paris. The inteution originally was to provide limited
assistance to victims on a temporary basis, limiting the costs of serviees. As the referrals increased, SAFE-T reaiized
the need for a more,permanent office thst could provide longer hours of service. The dilemma was fundiny, as Federal
and S#ate funds hd bcen reduced for all shelters making it more difficult ta maintain cutrent programs. In spite of the
cut backs. SAFE-T maintaineri programs and actually inereased outreach services. In November 2008, a Thrift Store
was opened in Paris which included two offices, one which was used far providing client services and the other as an
office for the store. When the store moved to gnother location, the office again moved and is currently located within
the Paris Housing Authority complezc at 615 Ninth SW. Couoseling is provided weekly to approximately 45 cIients by
Dr. Ctaire Haslam. SAFE-T Thrift Stores not only,provide an income to assist with non-grant Menses, but also assist
clients who are in need of clothing and furnishin{r,s for hoasing which are aceessed by voucher.
Victims of domestic violenee are still not aware that there is an agency available for assistance. SAFE-T pmvides
shelter to victims from Lamax County by tirranspor#ation to Mt Pleasant. This maX not be the best scenario for each
client bu# it is the best that we can o$'er at the.present tia. WepU the cost of a motel fa these clients that we cannot
transnort that night. We must educate the community re raud'uig the services that are in place right now. We are in
need
of funds to help pay for an Outreach Advocate that would be hired from the Paris area to devalop a plau to advertise
these services through media. PSA (Public Service Announcements), prWnWions to civic and chtuch gaoups. and
or ag n~g programs such as already in place in Mt. Pleasant For example: Anger Management Pro umms far men,
women and teens, housing assistance programs, and leg,al advocacy.
SAFE-T was awatded a large housing grant last September for two vears of $538,000 which pays hausing assistance
costs of dgposits, rent and ufilities for families. We have two staff hired under this grag that provides these services
and we have bcen seeing~over 25 families each month who are in the housing rnogaam and an additionat 40 who are
receiving~other services. We also were awarded a Crisis Response Team grant that allows us to ga to a victim's house
when law enforcement have been cal(ed for a domestic violence eall= We provide advocacv on srte.
These funds from the City of Paris would be used w~I far Qart of a salar,y for the Advocate, program sagplies
(prin~ materials, files, etcj and mileage Q) .40/mile to travel to Mx. Pleasant Yo transport clients to shelter, and bring
them back to Paris fnr court Wearances and other needed In 2009, SAFE-T provided serviees to a,pt>roxirr►ately 73
clients from Lamar County. We estimate that in 2010 tiiat number will increase to over 6001. We cUrrently have two
Paris residents in the shelber which can hold 30 people. There are six bedrooms with bunk beds in each mom. We can
add cn'bs or pallets for children when nasded= Lastyear we added one bedroom to accammQdate the number of
.102
raferraLs from Paris We hsve full time staff 24/7. I have attached pictures of our shelter and offices since travel to visit
these in Mt Pleasant might be a hardsWp Lor some City Council Members.
The Cit,y of Paris citizena have been very supportiva of help„ing victims af domestic violence and sexual assauit. We
are forhtnate to be able to work with such dedicated people. Any financial assistance that the City of Paris can provide
to SAF&T will be reinvestad in #his community by nmviding sup2ort sMicas to victims of abuse with the goal of
kee,ping victim We while reducing the trauma of abuse.
