  Winter Shelter Plan (WSP) ‐ The Winter Shelter Plan typically operates from Nov. 1st to April 15th each winter.   Delaware County does not formally declare a “Code Blue”.  The five shelter programs listed below are very experienced and well‐practiced in sheltering persons during severe weather situations. If they cannot provide shelter directly, they will refer folks to other programs for the evening to keep them warm and safe.   The “silent alert” happens when the temperatures reach 40 degrees or below and programs implement their extended services hours, expanded outreach and overflow beds practices.  Shelter programs have an established referral process in place to ensure that all homeless persons are sheltered and transported to the shelter locations.  Transportation assistance is provided by the shelter programs either via van ride or SEPTA tokens    Shelters & Over Flow Beds ‐ The following shelter programs offer overflow beds bed during the winter.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE SHELTERS The Life Center of Eastern Delaware County is wheelchair accessible with a shared accessible

bathroom. There are three beds for single men and three beds for single females with physical disabilities.

Wesley House Community Corp. has one family room that is wheelchair accessible with a private

bath. VULNERABLE ADULTS A vulnerable adult is a person who may be medically fragile, physically disabled, and elderly and/or a

high-risk pregnant woman, who for some valid reason, cannot access one of the existing shelter programs. These individuals will be evaluated at Community Action Agency and served/referred appropriately based upon their individual needs. All determinations are made on a case-by-case basis. To be considered a vulnerable adult, current documentation verifying the condition(s) that prohibit a shelter stay must be provided in order for CAA to make a determination. In the event a placement needs to be made during the evening or weekend, vulnerable adults will be placed until the next business day.

Domestic Abuse Project may have short-term placement for physically challenged victims of

Domestic Violence. COUPLES: SHELTER POLICIES Shelter programs have varying policies regarding placement accommodations for “couples”. Most programs require that “couples” work together on a Family Service Plan. Below is a brief description of the policies at each shelter. Warming Center - Couples are accepted, but must sleep separately.

Connect-by-Night - Couples are accepted, but must sleep separately.

Life Center - Couples are accepted, but must sleep separately.

When families are referred for Emergency Shelter Services at CAADC, the assessment staff are required to verify the emergency/crisis situation. CAADC has established “priority” situations for serving families. In addition, CAADC intake staff will evaluate ALL other housing options available to the family to be sure that all resources are exhausted before approving placement. All clients must provide three phone numbers for alternative housing possibilities. PRIORITY EMERGENCY PLACEMENT – The following priorities require verification of need documentation.

Family problems, household break-ups, and/or overcrowding in a home ARE NOT considered “EMERGENCY” situations.

16

Emergency housing through CAADC is only available after all other housing resources are exhausted. Priority for placement in CAADC Emergency Housing is limited to families or vulnerable adults who are homeless for the following reasons: Fire – Following an emergency hotel stay by the Red Cross, you are to bring a Red Cross referral letter

to a CAADC Intake Office stating the date and address of the fire. The Intake Coordinator will verify that the landlord or the insurance policy will not provide emergency housing. Single non-vulnerable adults may be referred to other shelter programs.

Building Condemnation – You are to bring a letter from the appropriate City or Township authorities

(Health Department, License and Inspections) stating that the unit is not fit for habitation and the date by which you must leave the unit.

Eviction – You are to bring the “Intent to Possess” letter and the Sheriff’s notification letter with the

actual eviction date. Evictions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine cause of eviction. Non-Payment of rent, unless accompanied by documented inability to pay, does not meet the CAADC emergency placement criteria.

Domestic Abuse – Families fleeing a domestic abuse situation must first seek assistance through the

Domestic Abuse Project (DAP) 610-565-4590. DAP will verify the domestic abuse issue and make a written referral to CAADC if there is no space available in the DAP shelter.

Unsheltered - Living on the streets or places not meant for habitation.

Families or vulnerable adults experiencing overcrowding and/or family problems or break-ups will not be eligible for emergency housing. CAADC will encourage families experiencing family problems and overcrowding to remain in their current housing. CAADC can assist these families in obtaining employment and permanent housing through housing counseling, rental assistance and other programs. TO REFER A HOMELESS FAMILY FOR SHELTER AT CAADC: Complete and send the referral form (page 18) along with any other documentation of the client’s homeless situation to CAADC. At the Intake Interview, the client’s program eligibility will be determined. Once eligibility is determined AND DIVERSION STRATEIGES ARE EXHAUTED, CAADC will place eligible households according to shelter unit availability. If the referral is not approved, or is pending, CAADC will notify the family indicating the reasons emergency shelter is not being provided, and/or will state what is needed to verify the homeless situation. CAADC cannot provide shelter to a family unless their emergency situation is confirmed and documented. CAADC must also try all means possible to divert families from entering shelter programs. However, if eligibility cannot be determined before 3:00 PM (Monday through Friday), CAADC may place the family in the TES program for one night, until the eligibility can be determined the following business day. In this situation, the family must be at the CAADC Intake Office by 9 AM the following business morning. To Referring Agencies: As the referral source, you may be asked to continue to provide relevant services to the family while they are temporarily sheltered. CAADC’s initial responsibility is to assess the homeless/housing situation and determine the level of intervention needed. If it is determined that the family will need shelter placement, referring agencies are expected to have regular contact CAADC the CAADC intake worker and participate in service planning activities. All homeless families must actively participate with case management. To inquire about the status of a referral: Call the intake worker. If the family that you refer returns to your agency and states the CAADC “will not help” them, it is critical you call the CAADC Intake worker to inquire about the status of the referral.
