PROGRAM ABSTRACT
The Presbyterian Night Shelter is located in the Near Eastside Neighborhood along with all of the
shelters that service the homeless population. On any given day over 1,200 homeless citizens call
this area home in addition to the hundreds of citizens that work in the area. The Near Eastside
Neighborhood is small when compared to other local Fort Worth neighborhoods but it has the
highest concentration of ex-offenders and registered sex offenders which creates an environment
of serious safety issues for residents and a high concentration of crime.
The Presbyterian Night Shelter is applying for a Crime Control and Prevention District grant to
support efforts to increase the safety of residents and to decrease crime in the Near Eastside
Neighborhood. The proposed program will consist of a vehicle security patrol of the entire Near
Eastside Neighborhood during the busiest time of the day. If funded, this vehicle security patrol
will make a dramatic difference by increasing the safety of all residents and decreasing the crime
rate in this neighborhood.

PROPOSAL NARRATIVE:
1. Describe in detail the problem that your program addresses
The Presbyterian Night Shelter provides services for the homeless including shelter, food,
clothing, showers, basic toiletries and access to case management. These services are
provided for single men &women, women with children, the severe mentally ill, and
veterans. Since 1984 the Presbyterian Night Shelter has been the only homeless shelter in
Fort Worth that provides shelter to anyone in need, does not charge for its basic services, and
does not have any length of stay restrictions. In 2013 we served a total of 4,439 homeless
individuals, a 7% increase over 2012. Services offered in all programs includes emergency
shelter, three meals a day, access to showers, case management, mail, access to in house
service providers including JPS, Alcoholics Anonymous, Tarrant County Health Department,
Goodwill, Tarrant County Homeless Coalition and MHMR. Clients enrolled in case
management progress through a multi level system where they can learn an employable skill
through our vocational program. The end result of the case management process is housing
and gainful employment. The women&children's program offers similar services including
those specifically designed for children such as case management by an onsite Cook's
Children employee, employment services offered by the Women's Center and numerous
volunteer groups offering a wide range of services. One of the goals of the Presbyterian
Night Shelter is to provide safe shelter, clothing and meals to the homeless of Tarrant
County. By providing these services, we support the City's strategic goals of making Fort
Worth a clean and safe City and in making homelessness rare, short-term and non-
reoccuring.
2. Describe what your progem does to Support effort s to increase the safety of residents and to
decrease crime throughout Fort Worth neighborhoods
The Presbyterian Night Shelter is located in the Near East Side Neighborhood (see attached
map) which has as its boundaties I-35 to the west, I-30 to the North, Riverside Drive to the
east, and Union Pacific Railroad to the south. This neighborhood is very small in
comparison to other neighborhoods but it is the neighborhood for all of the homeless shelters
in Fort Worth. On any given night, over 1,200 homeless individuals will sleep in this
neighborhood. Unfortunately, this neighborhood also has one of the highest concentration of
ex-offenders as well as registered sex-offenders. In 2013 a"Homeless Women's Health and
Victimization Study"was conducted by the University of North Texas Health Science Center
and it found that 60.7% of respondents to the survey reported at least one form of physical or
sexual violence, threats, stalking or verbal abuse in the prior 12 months while homeless. One
in six women reported experiences that met the legal definition of rape (sexual assult) in
Texas, 46% were physically or sexually attacked, and 20.7% reported intimate painter
violence. As the report discusses, "these findings portray an environment in the East
Lancaster street area that poses serious threats to the safety and well-being of women who
are homeless." Even though this study was centered on women, as the largest provider of
services to the homeless, the Presbyterian Night Shelter believes strongly that the same level
of violence towards homeless men also exists. One of the recommendations given by the
RFP No.14-0106,FY 2015 Community Based Programs, Page 8 of 25
EXHIBIT A
women interviewed for the study was to "increase police/security presence and response to
confrontations." In the Near East Side Neighborhood a non-profit called Feed by Grace
operates a park on Saturday & Sunday's which provides a safe place for the homeless to
congregate rather than being on the street. In March 2014, in collaboration Feed by Grace,
Mental Health Mental Retardation, and Paulos Properties, the Presbyterian Night Shelter
opened the park Monday-Friday by providing a staff member to supervise the park. In
addition, the Shelter also began providing security 10 hours a day 7 days a week for the park,
sidewalks, streets, ajoining property, and the property of the Presbyterian Night Shelter. This
addition has greatly improved the safety of the area surrounding the shelter, but more can be
done for the entire Near East Side Neighborhood area.
The Presbyterian Night Shelter is writing to request funding that supports efforts to increase
the safety of residents and to decrease crime throughout the Near East Side Fort Worth
neighborhood by providing a vehicle security patrol of the neighborhood during the busiest
time of the day. The vehicle patrol would provide a security presence for the entire Near
East Side Neighborhood by working with all of the local non-profits and businesses to
increase safety and decrease crime. The hours of the patrol would take place seven days a
week between 3:00pm-9:00pm, which is the busiest time of day for the shelters and the
homeless population. The vehicle security patrol would observe the Near East Side
Neighborhood area for compliance with city of Fort Worth laws such as loitering, storage of
belongings on private property, consuming alcohol within 1,000 ft. of a shelter, public
lewdness, and illegal activity such as drugs and prostitution. The officer would observe these
actions, if appropriate request compliance, and report all illegal activity to the Fort Worth
police department. We believe this addition to the Near East Side Neighborhood will greatly
improve the safety and well being of those that utilize the local homeless shelters. Not only
will it address the needs of homeless women as mentioned in the UNT study, but all of the
homeless population as well as the hundreds of citizens that are employed in the Near East
Side Neighborhood area.
3. Does your program addres the CCPD priority/special empahsis of the prevention or
intervention of youth violence and/or family violence? Describe how your program
addresses this priority.
In the Near East Side Neighborhood area three organizations offer services to homeless
families. In total, about 90 families and 180 children call this area home everyday for the
time they are homeless. These families and children must engage the greater homeless
community as they come and go from each facility. It was also just announced that the Can
Academy will be locating a charter school in this area with an estimated 350 students. The
proposed security patrol would certainly help deter any family, youth, or student violence. If
funded, special attention will be given to those families, children, and students as they
interact with the greater community in regards to special patrols, escorts to and from their
vehicle, and other safety and security needs specific to families, youth, and students as they
ari se.

4. How will you measure effectiveness of the program?
The following outcomes will be measured to demonstrate program success:
A. Decrease in offense reports. This will be measured by reviewing Near East Side
Neighborhood specific arrests reports from the Fort Worth police department. Each
month these will be reviewed and compared to the month prior and the corresponding
month of the previous year.
B. Decrease in loitering. This will be measured by monthly self reports received from local
non-profits and businesses within the Near East Side Neighborhood area.
C. Decrease in storage of belongings on private/city property. This will be measured by
monthly self reports from local non-profits and businesses within the Near East Side
Neighborhood area as well as self reports from the city of Fort Worth code compliance
department. The Presbyterian Night Shelter provides a storage building for the homeless
to store their beloningings. This outcome will also be measured by reviewing the
monthly storage utilization reports.
D. Increase in the safety of the area. This will be measured by monthly self reports
generated from at least 25 randomly selected homeless people living in the area.
5. Who will the program benefit? How many people? What age group? What geographic area
will it serve?
The program will benefit the non-profits,.the Fort Worth police department, Fort Worth code
complaince, business, citizens, and the homeless population within the Near East Side
Neighborhood area. It is estimated that 1,200 homeless individuals sleep each night in the
Near East Side Neighborhood area and several hundred more work in the area. The age of
those that will be impacted include all ages from new born infants to the elderly. All ages
live and work in the Near East Side Neighborhood area. The specific area will be the Near
Eastside Neighborhood which is a concentrated area with the boundaries being I-35 to the
west, I-30 to the north, Riverside to the east, and the Union Pacific railroad to the south.
6. What makes this program unique from any other crime prevention program in Fort Worth?
This would be the only CCPD funded program serving the homeless community and it would
also be the only dedicated security patrol for the entire Near East Side Neighborhood.
7. Is the program already in operation? If so, how long have you operated the program? What
resources are currently used to operate the program? Why are CCPD funds necessary at this
time?
The Presbyterian Night Shelter provides security for the sidewalks, streets, adjacent property,
and shelter property but there is no dedicated security patrol for the entire Near Eastside
Neighborhood area. The Presbyterian Night Shelter has provided outside security since
March 2014. There are no fiords currently being used for neighborhood vehicle patrol
security but the Presbyterian Night Shelter will spend $53,000 a year on the security as
RFP No.14-0106, FY 2015 Community Based Programs, Page 10 of 25
EXHIBIT A
mentioned above. The CCPD funds spefically address issues of neighborhood safety and the
decreasing of crime, these funds are ideal for this type of programming.
8. Is this a new program? If so, what other funds have you applied for? Also, please describe
the sequence of steps needed to implement your program and the timeframe in which this
will occur.
This program is new and no other funds have been requested from other sources at this time.
If funded, the security company that provides services to the Presbyterian Night Shelter will
also be company that provides the neighborhood security patrol. If funded, the security
company and the Presbyterian Night Shelter will begin the planning and implementation with
the homeless, local non-profits, and businesses to solicit their feedback and direction in July.
Communication to the homelss population about the security patrol will begin in August &
September. If funded, the program will start October 1, 2014 at 3:OOpm.
9. Briefly describe the specific expenditures planned for CCPD funding.
A. Direct Contracts/Consultants
Security patrol will be provided 7 days a week 6 hours a day between 3:00pm-9:00pm
$17.90 X 6 hours X 365 days= $39,201
B. Indirect Costs
Program supervision and security support at 10% of costs.
10% of$39,201= $3,920
TOTAL BUDGET
543,121
10. If funds are awarded, will this program continue beyond the CCPD funding period?
This program will be successful. The outcomes will demonstrate that this program must
continue once the CCPD funds are no longer available. Because of that, sustainable funding
will be a major goal starting in October, 2014. Local foundations and the businesses in the
Near Eastside Neighborhood area will be identified as a source of funding. The local
businesses within the Near Eastside Neighborhood area will benefit greatly and they will be
approached as the first source of long-term funding beyond the CCPD grant.
