What it reported doing in 2024

St. Vincent de paul's emergency services program helps people meet their basic need by providing food, clothing, household items, and help with rent, utilities, and prescription medication. Major programs within this category include the social service office (providing emergency assistance to households in need), eugene service station (day shelter for homeless singles), egan warming center (an overnight shelter that opens during extreme cold weather), first place family center (day shelter for homeless families), first place night shelter (an overnight shelter for families). We have a diverse group of shelter programs that have seen a surge of success throughout the year. 310 safe sleep site is our rv and vehicle parking program, offering space and sanctuary for 45 rvs and 10 smaller vehicle spaces. 410 safe sleep site has had an evolving client base that is focused on employment opportunity through partnership with the chamber of commerce and the job training programs that are available. Dawn to dawn has been operating again at 24/7 capacity for the year and is our lowest barrier shelter. The schlies resource center was launched april 2025 and has seen consistent engagement from clients and a growing roster of providers that utilize it. The schlies resource center is a hub for community partners to come together and provide holistic wrap around services to our most vulnerable community members and is located one block from dawn to dawn and across the parking lot from eugene service center. The supported work experience program provides training and job placement for people receiving temporary assistance for needy families. The work readiness assessment program helps youth set and achieve career goals. Second chance renter's education provides an 8-week course covering topics including landlord/tenant law, how to be the best tenant, financial education and life skills education. Upon completion of class, clients are provided a certificate to present to prospective landlord. Because of covid restrictions we were unable to meet in person. Staff rewrote the course workbook and now all classes are available online via zoom. First place family center is our day access location at 4060 w. Amazon drive, where unhoused families can utilize services such as laundry, showers, mail, and also our newly relaunched preschool. The first place annex night shelter is at the same location and hosts 28 families experiencing homelessness. These families have access to the same services as the day access, as well as food storage, and provided meals during their stay. There is 3rd party case management available and provided by willamette valley behavioral health. The overnight parking program (opp) in eugene is our longest running shelter program, and we have begun offering a place for families to park at 1995 w. Amazon parkway. We have 3 families at this site at a time. They can use a small portion of the building for food storage, cooking, and using the restroom and showering.
