You never realize how much you need your car until it doesn’t start one morning. That sense of isolation and helplessness, the question of how all the tasks of the day will get done – it paralyzes one’s reality until transportation is again available and “normalcy” is restored. This is the same situation that many of the families at Helping Hand House face all too often – with the additional challenge of very little spare room in the budget to make the necessary fixes when the car does not work.

Helping Hand House serves families in rural eastern Pierce County – some of the areas hardest hit by ongoing cuts to Sound Transit’s bus lines and increasing gas prices. Without a car, a single mom has no options apart from walking miles at a time with 2 children in tow, to the grocery, laundromat, or daycare center – unsustainable and impossible when seeking family-wage employment and escape from poverty. National statistics from the Alliance for Children & Families indicate a 41% increase in

income for wage earners after acquiring a reliable vehicle. Outcomes also include better

school attendance for children, fewer missed days of work, and an

80% success rate in ending

dependence on government cash assistance. The case is well made that reliable transportation – which in our part of the state means a private vehicle – is one of the key leverage points to escaping homelessness and establishing a healthy family household. From this standpoint, the transportation issue is a significant priority in accomplishing our mission of preventing and ending family homelessness in Pierce County.

With this in mind, our staff and board of directors set out to identify a creative solution to the transportation problem many of our families face. A team began working to identify an auto shop partner that would be willing to donate the time of their mechanics, while our grantwriter sought out funding to pay for spare parts. Little did we know that this “community garage” process would allow us to reconnect in a deeper way with those at the birthplace of Helping Hand House – the fine friends at Our Savior Lutheran Church (OSLC).

Pastor Brian Banke’s eyes lit up as Nola Renz (HHH’s Executive Director) and Jamie Anderson (HHH’s Development Director) talked about the Community Garage as a part of Helping Hand House’s goals for the next 3 years. “I think that’s something we can

help you with!” He took them out in back of the church and pointed to a 3 bay garage

sitting on the property, and began to tell them about the vision of several church members to

use the space to fix the vehicles of needy families in the community.

It was a perfect match – another little miracle for the families in our

programs.

The Difference a

car can Make

Dear Friends,Just like many of you we are tightening our belt. This is the first time since I have been at Helping Hand House that we are combining the Annual Report with our quarterly newsletter. Although our mailing is donated by TEKS Services, even the reduced cost of printing still costs us money. Every way we can, we are trying to cut expenses and do even more with less.

Because of the support you provided, we had a good year in 2010 and we continue to move forward strongly in this difficult time. 2010 was a year of incredible new partnerships – deepened relationship with the Puyallup FISH food bank, a new donated home from the Dennis family, coordinated supply drives through the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce and students from Curtis Junior High School who created adorable build-a-bears for our children so they have a special new friend when they enter their new home. These are just a few of the incredible changes in 2010!

Here we are in 2011. We are continuing to create new partnerships that bless our families. Our newest partnership is with Our Savior Lutheran Church (where HHH was birthed). After meeting with Pastor Brian Banke and sharing about HHH and some of our needs, we discussed the trouble our families have getting their cars repaired, and keeping stable transportation in areas where bus lines are being cut. Pastor Brian’s eyes lit up and he said, “I think we can help you with that.” It has been several months of the church working to build a team of mechanics, and writing and receiving a significant grant for parts, tires, windshields, fluids and other items - and we are up and running! What an answer to our prayers. Although we are just beginning, we know our families will reap a huge benefit from this partnership.

We have also added a strong employment component to our programs. Our Employment Specialist Yvonne Seyler is doing an fantastic job with our adult household members. In July alone, five of her clients secured living wage employment! What a difference this is making for our families. As she works with each adult she nurtures them in a way that begins rebuilding their self-worth. We are very excited to be able to offer this support to our families.

Today, as I watch Lisa, our Director of Volunteer Services, accept school backpacks filled with school and grade specific supplies for our children, I am reminded of how each of you creatively and lovingly support the work of Helping Hand House.

Remember that simple truth: “To the world you are one - but to one, YOU are the world”.

Thank You and Best Wishes,

Nola RenzExecutive Director

Helping Hand House

Vis ionHelping Hand House is dedicated to ending family homelessness by providing caring support, education, and innovative programs designed to empower families to achieve self-sufficiency. Helping Hand House develops and implements model programs in partnership with community resources to strengthen families with children while contributing to healthier communities.

MissionHelping Hand House is dedicated to preventing and ending family homelessness.

ValuesHelping Hand House provides an environment based on integrity, compassion, honesty, respect, integrity, good stewardship, and professionalism through positive and caring relationships.

“Picnics are fun,” she said. The 6 year-old little lady ate her hot dog and took in the scene. It was a beautiful sunny summer day and the children and families of Helping Hand House came to a park in Puyallup to take part in our annual Summer Family Picnic. This is a tradition that has been carried on for many years and it’s something that the families look forward to each year!

For many of us we love to sit and gather and eat all of our favorite summertime foods off the BBQ grill, and that is no exception to the families that we serve. Organized games set up for the kids, face painting, great food, and time to relax and enjoy time as a family. During the festivities we also celebrated the success of the children who participated in our month-long summer reading program by awarding them with special certificates

and prizes. Prizes included attending a Tacoma Rainiers baseball game as well as passes for Northwest Trek and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. The little girl who won the contest read an astonishing 3,840 minutes in a one-month time period!

We are appreciative of the volunteers who came early to help set up and take part in all of the activities throughout the day as well as the Puyallup FISH Food Bank who helped in donating some of the food for the picnic!

Summer Family Picnic

Thank you to everyone who supports the mission and work of Helping Hand House. Your generosity is a steady reminder that the whole community is invested in the success of our families – a reality that makes a meal in the park a picnic, and not a daily dinner table, for the formerly homeless families in our programs.

Yes they are, little lady. Picnics are fun.

Housewarming ToursHomelessness is a lot closer to home than many ever expected. It is shocking how often people tell us that a family member or close friend is on the brink of homelessness, due to a lost job, family crisis, or other factors. In that situation, what do you do? What do you know about family homelessness and the solutions out there? How can you make a difference in the lives of your neighbors in these tough times? We invite you to join us for one of our monthly House Warming Tours. These 1 hour behind-the-scenes times are packed with information and a great venue to ask questions of people who are on the frontlines with families, and a part of the policy-making discussion on a local and state level. We want to hear from you! Tours are on the 3rd Saturday of the month (Upcoming dates are: September 17th and October 15th) from 9:30-10:30am at our office on South Hill.

If you would like to join us please RSVP on our website or call us at (253) 848-6096 Ext. 15 and speak to Jamie Anderson.

Ed and Sarah came into Emergency Housing in April. Ed had been the sole breadwinner for the family, and lost his job due to an illness. With no income, it was not long before the family had lost their home and were desperate for help.

During their time in the program, they took hold of every resource that was available, including budgeting, employment assistance, and options available through partners of Helping Hand House. They enrolled their 5 year old daughter in school for the first time. Ed is taking parenting classes through the Sumner Family Support Center. Both Ed and Sarah now have 2 jobs, and their household income went from $1,600 per month upon program entry to over $2,500 per month at graduation. Ed is working as an employment counselor for people with developmental disabilities, and part-time at Target. Sarah was hired as a customer service representative at Virgin Airlines, and has part-time work through a temp agency.

They saved $750 during their 3 months in the program. These funds, along with a cleaning bonus provided by HHH to assist families upon move-out, allowed them to move into an apartment of their own. They are completely self-sufficient, and are no longer receiving housing assistance of any kind.

Continued from page 1

Since this time, Helping Hand House received $27,500 from the Presbyterian Women in the Presbyterian Church (USA) to purchase replacement parts, tires, windshields and a lift for the shop. Staffed by volunteers overseen by certified mechanics, the Community Garage made their first repairs on a Saturday in early August. While the partnership is in its early stages, the skill level is high and the excitement is tangible! We anticipate 1-2 Saturdays per month, with the possibility for increase depending on the capacity and volunteers available.

“Transportation is key in ending family homelessness,” says Nola Renz. “Our Savior Lutheran Church is creatively taking on one of the greatest needs our families face, and they can sleep well at night knowing they made a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable families and children.”

We are grateful for partners like OSLC and so many others in our service to homeless families in Pierce County! These dynamic individuals, organizations, and companies are pivotal players in equipping families to help themselves, and in doing so preventing and ending homelessness, one family at a time. So next time you turn the key in the ignition, think about the difference a car makes, and say a little prayer for more miracles like this one…

“I think that’s something we can help you with!” He took them out in back of the church and pointed to a 3 bay garage sitting on the property...”

EMERGENCY HOUSING

TIS THE SEASON!!!It’s that time of year when we start thinking about the holidays. It is an incredible time of the year – and it takes preparation, particularly if you have a large family! The Helping Hand House family is large indeed – and we need your help!

At any given time, Helping Hand House is serving 72 families with 150 children. We need to make sure that every family and child has the opportunity to enjoy the holidays just like we do. With your help, we can achieve this goal!

Please consider adopting a family for either (or both) Thanksgiving and Christmas; a process which includes providing groceries and a turkey or ham to complete the meal, purchasing gifts for the entire family to unwrap and enjoy, or by purchasing grocery store gift cards for perishable foods for the families to use to help assist them while their children are home on school breaks.

If you are interested in adopting a family for the holidays- please call Lisa at (253) 848-6096 ext. 17. We can match individuals, groups, clubs, businesses and churches up with one of our families. With your generous donations we can all celebrate the holidays with love and spirit!

Your loving kindness will make a Happy Holidays possible for families in need!

I must say this past year has been a year of dynamic change for us at Helping Hand House. We have endured staffing changes, funding changes, program changes, and we continue to face a whole host of other changes. All of these changes have come in the midst of an economic climate that is unprecedented. We should just call it the year of changes.

Our staffing changes include the departure of our long time grant writer

Marion Hogan, who we are going to miss greatly. She has tirelessly and quietly worked closely with our grant providers. Marion’s work has been invaluable to the organization and I wish her all the best in her new adventure. Thank you, Marion, for all of the work that you have done for Helping Hand House.

Helping Hand House is now seeing a dramatic increase in the number of families who are requesting our services and we feel it reflects much of what has been going on in the economy.

We continue to be at full capacity in all of our housing, stretching dollars to serve as many families as we can. Our office space is now also at capacity with many staff doubled up in small spaces with not much room to move around. Despite all of the changes among us, Helping Hand House still stands strong and is continuing to provide its essential services to the community. Currently we are only able to meet a small portion of these needed services as we continue to strive to increase our ability to help more families in need. This is a hugely significant and difficult task as non-profits struggle with reduced or eliminated funding sources, reductions in budget, and loss of high-quality staff. Our ability to continue without significant disruption to our core services reflects the dedication and commitment that our staff, funders, and community partners have towards making sure Helping Hand House continues to do its important work. I cannot say enough about how touching it is to see such dedication and effort in the midst of such adversity.

Helping Hand House still has a need to increase its services as we are unable to serve literally hundreds of families per month who are requesting services. The demand is greater than ever for Helping Hand House to continue to make an effort to meet the needs of the community and to help in making an effort in ending homelessness. During these unprecedented times, it is now the time for us to show our greatest support, dedication, and care to our agency mission and to the families we serve. Helping Hand House would not be able continue to do the important work we do without the continued support of our staff, funders, community partners and our volunteers.

We are extremely grateful to be an organization that is well respected, appreciated, and, most importantly, supported by so many individuals and partners in the community. Thank you for your continued support of Helping Hand House. We look forward to many more years of providing essential services to homeless families in our communities.

Homelessness PreventionWe help families who have an eviction or utility shut-off notice by paying their rent or utilities. As soon as adults in the family complete a budgeting class at our office, payment is sent directly to the utility company or the landlord.

Results: In 2010, we helped to prevent 213 families (1,100 people) from becoming homeless. Follow-up indicates that most families are in the same homes 3 months later. We assisted 139 families with rent and 74 families with utility assistance.

emergency HousingWe provide emergency shelter for up to 90 days in seven fully-furnished single family homes and apartments in Puyallup and Sumner. Homeless families work closely with a case manager to develop goals and strategies to gain housing stability. Adults in the program work and develop budgets and savings plans. When their stay in Emergency Housing is over, families have the savings they need for their move to an apartment or home.

Results: In 2010, we assisted 31 families (117 people) through our Emergency Housing program.

Transitional HousingWe provide housing for up to 24 months in 23 fully-furnished single-family homes in Bonney Lake, Buckley, Eatonville, Orting, Puyallup, and Sumner. Families work closely with their case manager to address the causes of their homelessness and make long-term changes to rebuild their lives and become self-sufficient. Families are connected with community resources, attend monthly life-skill classes, finish their education, and learn new trades.

Results: In 2010, we assisted 32 families (112 people) through our Transitional Housing programs.

Permanent HousingWe provide long-term rental subsidies and supportive case management for 25 families in Sumner and Tacoma. Families are referred to our program through the homeless liaison in two elementary schools. We collaborate with the schools to chart the effect of long-term stability on children’s attendance, behavior, and academic performance. For the adults, the focus is on improving family financial resources through education, training, and employment progression support. Working with numerous community partners such as Washington Women’s Education and Employment, Bates Technical College, Tacoma Housing Authority, and both Sumner and Tacoma Public Schools, these families find the support they need.

Results: In 2010, we assisted 25 families (93 people) through our Permanent Supportive Housing program.

rapid re-HousingWe provide families with children temporary, tailored financial and housing stabilization services that will enable families to quickly locate and become self-sufficient in their own housing. This program is for families who will quickly be able to get a job, but need a short period of assistance to bridge the gap while the housing lease is in their name. Rapid Re-housing Program families can receive support for moving costs, security deposits, rental and utility assistance, and case management. As with all our other programs, payments are made directly to landlords, utility companies or other vendors, not to the participants.

Results: In 2010, we assisted 24 families (65 people) through our Rapid Re-Housing Housing program.
