HISTORY: Home Base, a consortium of
government, non-profits, faith based organizations, mental health
counselors, and individuals have been working over the last year to
reduce homelessness in Benton and Franklin Counties. January 2006 a
Point In Time count was conducted to show that 996 people in Benton
and Franklin Counties were homeless, of those 296 were under 17, and
211 children under 12. Other indicators of homelessness is that
10-15%or 20,000-35,000 of people in the Benton and Franklin Counties
do not have health insurance, just one step away from homelessness.
Home Base has a 10 year plan to reduce Homelessness by 50%, and the
key to this plan is to use the online 4People Resource and Multi
Agency Case Management system. We need your help, many of the
community resources for youth in our area are hidden or private,
where youth at risk have no place to go. A youth under 18 without a
guardian cannot stay at the local Mission. The only way they are
currently helped is through the Juvenile Justice, or through Child
protective services. We need alternatives to help our at risk youth.
