A Holistic Work Program for long-term unhoused residents of East Austin. Chase Wright Executive Director chase@springdaleparkneighbors.org 512-621-1510 New Website: https://springdaleparkneighbors.com (note – it is .com not .org) Mission/Vision We support East Austin residents on their re-entry journey from unhoused to self-sufficient citizens through a holistic multi-tiered work/apprenticeship program. We seek to establish SPN as a new and more effective model for addressing long-term homelessness that can be replicated within our city, our state, and eventually our country. It is hard work putting people to work. But no one is beyond help and everyone can be productive if given the right opportunities and support. Hidden Barriers keep people homeless The unhoused population we work with have many barriers to participating in normal society exasperated by mental health problems and substance abuse. The City funds a multitude of services but makes little progress, year-over-year, in actually helping people find a way out of the poverty trap they are stuck in. To many social workers, it feels that they are throwing a life vest to a drowning man who tells them they would rather keep swimming. Our peers think the problem is lack of coordination between services. We have a different opinion. The current system doesn’t have a way to establish a relationship that motivates change because help comes from outside the community. SPN’s Relationship-First Holistic Solution SPN has taken a holistic approach to rehabilitating each homeless individual - mind, body, and soul. What works for one homeless individual will not work for all. Because we have an ongoing employment relationship with our clients, we can help them address the barriers that the long-term unhoused face when seeking regular employment: appearance and hygiene, lack of ID/address/phone/bank account, inability to focus due to hunger, work habits, and mental issues / substance abuse. Ultimately, this enables our clients to find their way back into society. We show them by example that hard work is rewarded and that they are capable of working hard. Program Progression Community Services Watershed Cleanup s l a i t n e s s E • Breakfast and Lunch for anyone who shows up to at our work site. • Dinner will be added when funding permits. • Free clothing – durable outfits purchase from Goodwill in bulk. • Laundry – Washing performed while people work. • Showers – Manned and monitored safe space to take a shower. We encourage change …
