Individuals in the program are offered shelter, assistance with food stamp qualification, case management, housing navigation Services, employment and education Services, mental health and substance abuse support, employment assistance and life skill programs. The winchester house operated as a transitional living center for 5 years before converting into an emergency shelter in 2017. Ephsi delivered emergency shelter Services as a "participating entity" with project vida as a "lead agency" under a tdhca grant from november 1, 2015 through october 31, 2017. As a "sub-grantee", ephsi served a minimum of 15 individuals in the shelter. Ephsi participated in the El Paso homeless management information system (hmis), completed with reporting, documentation and performance measures under the contract requirements. Ephsi has obtained an ongoing award from tdhca to provide emergency shelter since november 1, 2017 to the present. The target population for this grant is homeless male youth, ages 16-24, and included youth aging out of foster care and unaccompanied youth. Ephsi has been offering emergency shelter for the last 7 years to include a range of case management Services, from housing location and placement assistance, employment, and education assistance to substance abuse counseling and now serves up to 80 individuals each year.
Child care center program: provides meals to low income children in daycare centers.
The child and adult care food program (cacfp) was created in 1968 in response to the need to provide good nutrition to the children of working parents. Funded by the u.s. department of agriculture, the program helps daycare providers in homes or centers improve health and eating habits of millions of school age children in our country by offsetting their expenses for food. Daycare providers receive a monthly reimbursement check for the meals and snacks served that meet basic nutritional requirements.
