Catholic Charities details housing, food and employment supports in Steuben
Summary
Catholic Charities reported a new housing staffer for ESSHI beds, a Youth Intervention Program grant, an OASIS employment program for those in recovery, community kitchens serving over 100 meals, a mobile pantry serving about 80 families monthly, and nutrition outreach to 490 people.
Gina Reagan, representing Catholic Charities, told the board the agency added a housing staff member to manage ESSHI beds at the Dana Lyon apartments and secured a Youth Intervention Program grant to provide case management or counseling with law enforcement in Steuben and Livingston school districts. She said the OASIS employment program helps people in recovery regain employment and the adult peer support program is improving, though managed-care children's services are strained by geography and efficiency.
Reagan said the Community Kitchen sites in Bath and Hornell "offer free hot meals and serve over 100 meals" and that the mobile food pantry serves roughly 80 families each month in the Liberty Street parking lot. Nutrition outreach reached about 490 people in the last six weeks. She said Catholic Charities needs a part-time cook and a supervisor for HBCI intervention, and that there are seven interventionalists with full caseloads.
