2012 October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2012

525,600 minutes. The song “Seasons of Love” from the musical Rent poses the question, “How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee? In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?”

For the youth we serve here at Urban Peak, whose lives in many ways resemble those of the characters portrayed in the musical, a year can be measured by all of those. Youth who experience homelessness may track a year by the number of “midnights” they’ve spent on the streets or the “miles” they’ve traveled throughout the night looking for a safe place to sleep.

Here at Urban Peak, we measure the 525,600 minutes of the year by the number of youth we assist on their individual paths to self-sufficiency and the progress the youth have made. For some, it’s as simple as accepting a pair of gloves from a member of our Denver or Colorado Springs Outreach teams, or walking into the Spot or THE Place for the first time. For others, it’s successfully completing the 18-month Beat the Street program at STAR, one of three transitional housing complexes we manage in Denver; completing their GED; or securing employment.

In 2012, we served 2,550 unduplicated youth in Denver and 613 youth in Colorado Springs, the most youth we have served as an agency in one fiscal year.

All together, we were able to accomplish amazing feats in 2012. Join us as we look back on the 525,600 minutes that shaped Urban Peak in 2012:

Urban Peak StaffingAfter an exhaustive search for the ideal candidate, Kimberle Easton was hired as Urban Peak’s new CEO in May 2012, bringing with her a wealth of experience in the non-profit industry, having previously

served as the Executive Director of Colorado Bright Beginnings and the Director of Educational Programs for the Prostate Cancer Education Council. Other critical positions were filled throughout the organization including, but not limited to: the hiring of Lori Weiner as the new Manager of Residential and Clinical Services; Mel Hallenbeck as the new Shelter Supervisor; and Clayton Gonzales as the new Drop-In Center Supervisor.

OutreachWith the Denver Unauthorized Camping Ordinance having gone into effect at the end of May, members of Urban Peak Denver’s Outreach team found themselves traveling greater distances to make contact with the youth. With those who experience homelessness vacating the Downtown area in favor of less populated areas, our Outreach team secured donated bike trailers to attach to their bikes so they could make contact and distribute hygiene materials, clothing, and food to youth in need. In 2012, Urban Peak Denver’s Outreach team made contact with 1,199 unduplicated youth.

Urban Peak Colorado Springs also faced numerous challenges in reaching youth on the streets. Despite soaring temperatures and a blazing wildfire that tore through Colorado Springs this past summer, the Colorado Springs Outreach team made contact with approximately 400 youth living in uninhabitable environments over the course of the year.

The Drop-In CenterThis fiscal year 1,407 youth accessed services at the Drop-In Center in Denver, an increase of 12 percent over fiscal year 2011. In fact, the Drop-In Center was the most popular entry point for youth accessing Urban Peak services for the first time. A total of 568 youth who are experiencing

homelessness found us through the Drop-In Center, accounting for 36 percent of the 1,592 new youth Urban Peak Denver served in 2012. In addition to serving breakfast Monday through Friday, the staff at the Drop-In Center developed over 15 new life skills classes for the youth such as “Cha-Ching,” a class in money management, and “Connections,” a class in developing and maintaining healthy relationships. Urban Peak Colorado Springs also offered a series of life skills classes and served a total of 211 youth through its day services which also included the distribution of meals, clothing vouchers, bus tokens, and more.

Education & EmploymentIn fiscal year 2012 Urban Peak Denver held its first annual Career Fair, an event that drew nearly 200 youth to the Education & Employment Center, increasing the number of unduplicated youth we served through the program from 563 in fiscal year 2011 to 762 in fiscal year 2012, a 35 percent increase. The number of youth accessing our Job Readiness Training program also increased from 247 to 339,

which marks a 37 percent increase in the number of youth sharpening their hard and soft skills through training in cover letter and resume development, job search techniques and interviewing skills, job retention training, and time and money management.

Altogether, 882 youth utilized the Education & Employment centers in Denver and Colorado Springs this fiscal year. Thanks to individual and small group instruction at Urban Peak, 75 youth in Denver and an additional three in Colorado Springs obtained their GED and accomplished a lifelong dream: obtaining a graduation certificate.

The ShelterIn fiscal year 2012 a combined total of 567 youth sought shelter through Urban Peak, with 404 accessing Shelter services in Denver and 163 in Colorado Springs. Urban Peak Denver saw an increase of seven percent in unduplicated youth at the Shelter in fiscal year 2012. Of the youth that stayed at the Urban Peak Denver Shelter, 58 percent exited to safe and stable environments.

Transitional HousingOur transitional housing programs were as equally successful. In fiscal year 2012, 196 youth were housed through Urban Peak Denver’s transitional housing programs, with 79 percent exiting to a safe and stable environment and 38 percent of those to an apartment of their own. The success of the youth can largely be attributed to the amount of time the apartment residents spend with their case managers. Each housing client in Denver received an average of 27 hours of case management support in fiscal year 2012, with an emphasis on trauma-informed care and strengths-based case planning.Colorado Springs, which has long had one permanent housing program for youth, welcomed a brand new transitional housing program this fiscal year. A total of 24 youth joined the program, creating a new opportunity to better serve youth who are experiencing homelessness in the southern portion of our state.

A Special ThanksAt the conclusion of the song, “Seasons of Love,” the cast of Rent concludes that the 525,600 minutes of a year can be measured in love. When it comes to Urban Peak’s supporters, we know this to be true. Your donations of time, money and needed items allow us to show the youth of Urban Peak, many of whom never knew true love in a home environment, what a caring, compassionate state Colorado truly is. Thank you again for all you do for Urban Peak!

Sincerely,
