OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Child Welfare Services- Keeping Families Together (KFT), San Francisco Family Treatment Court (FTC) and Families Moving Forward (FMF) constitute HPP's Child Welfare Services.- KFT is a program through which San Francisco's Child Protective Services (CPS) and HPP work with families to keep them unified and prevent children from entering into the CPS system because of substance abuse issues in the family. The Peer Mentor Program is a part of KFT, wherein HPP staff members (who previously have had involvement with CPS) work closely with clients as they satisfy the requirements of the court for family reunification. Peer Mentors lead weekly support group, accompany clients to court and medical appointments, and steward clients to appointments and other obligations.- FTC is a court-supervised treatment and parenting program for people with children involved in the dependency system. A collaborative justice program, the FTC is a partnership between Human Services Agency, the Department of Public Health, City Attorneys Office, the panel of dependency attorneys, the Homeless Prenatal Program, and the Superior Court. HPP is also part of a city-wide Substance Abuse Services collaborative, serving as a link between the streets and drug treatment programs for pregnant and parenting mothers with substance abuse problems. - FMF was established with the support of a federal demonstration grant (administered through the City of San Francisco), FMF uses a "housing first" approach, working with carefully selected, highest-need homeless families to help them obtain and maintain stable housing, providing a foundation for stability. Once families are securely housed, they receive case management services, job training, parenting classes, and life-skills counseling for greater self-sufficiency. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Domestic Violence (DV) Services - This program provides case management and other assistance to survivors to help them escape batterers, find safe shelter, file police reports, obtain restraining orders and U-Visas as needed, and heal from the trauma of the abuse. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Auxiliary ServicesIn addition to HPPs primary focus on crisis and case management related to housing, wellness and family support, the agency offers a range of other complementary services designed to encourage stability and build community. Other HPP support services include: HPPs Emergency Food Pantry & Essential Item Distribution provides food (fresh and nonperishable), formula, household staples (cleaning products, toiletries), as well as COVID-19 needs such as hand sanitizer and facemasks. The Childcare Center provides onsite quality childcare for children while their parents participate in services. HPP also has an outdoor Wellness Garden for young children with specialized curriculum led by skilled child development teachers with backgrounds in horticultural therapy. Fatherhood Support services provide group and one-on-one support specially designed for fathers. The Job Readiness Program provides support in job search, resume building and interview skills, with a partnership that connects participants to available jobs. Enrichment Classes such as sewing and art classes help clients learn valuable, therapeutic skills while their group format encourages community-building. HPP has a variety of Onsite Partnerships that bring complementary services onsite/virtually to HPP families. These partnerships include benefits registration, financial support, legal counseling, preschool navigation and GED classes. Referrals and Linkages to dozens of other social service agencies for services HPP is unable to provide (e.g., substance abuse treatment programs, family shelters, legal services). Case managers coordinate these referrals for clients as part of their overall plan for self-sufficiency. These agencies refer their clients to HPP to maximize the value of the services clients receive. |
