OF THE DOWN HOME CLIENTS SERVED, 78% OF DH CLIENTS MARKED "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE" AS A PAST TRAUMA/CATALYST FOR HOMELESSNESS, 41% MARKED "SUBSTANCE ABUSE" IN THE HOME AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. 11% OF CLIENTS HAD LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE, 45% HAD A GED OR HS DIPLOMA, 26% HAD SOME COLLEGE, 7% HAD AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE AND 11% HAD A BACHELORS DEGREE. 40% OF CLIENTS IDENTIFIED AS WHITE; 34 % IDENTIFIED AS BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN; 23% IDENTIFIED AS NATIVE AMERICAN; AND 3% IDENTIFIED AS ASIAN. 81% OF OUR FAMILIES REPORTED THEY WOULD GO FOR AN EXTENDED TIME WITHOUT MATTRESSES TO SLEEP ON IN ORDER TO PAY FOR RENT AND FOOD, 44% REPORTED THEY WOULD ALSO GO WITHOUT A DINING TABLE AND CHAIRS AND 48% STATED THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A YEAR OR MORE TO FULLY FURNISH THEIR HOMES ON THEIR OWN. OF THE 27 REFERRALS, 37% CAME FROM YWCA CASS CLAY, 11% CAME FROM CHURCHES UNITED FOR THE HOMELESS, AND THE OTHER 52% CAME FROM NUMEROUS PARTNERING AGENCIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH A SELF-REPORT SURVEY, 100% OF THE CLIENTS SERVED REPORTED STRONGLY AGREE OR AGREE THAT DOWN HOME PROVIDED THEIR FAMILY WITH SECURITY (NECESSARY FURNISHINGS), COMFORT (BLANKETS, PILLOWS, ETC.) AND RELIEF FROM FINANCIAL STRESSORS OF FURNISHING A HOME. ADDITIONALLY, 100% REPORTED STRONGLY AGREE OR AGREE THAT DOWN HOME HAS EMPOWERED THEM TO WORK HARD TO PROVIDE STABILITY FOR THEIR FAMILY AND MAKE FURTHER CONNECTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY BY GENERATING AND COMPLETING A REQUIRED PAY IT FORWARD PLAN.
