[1. ID 24-0424 COALITION: The Prisoner’s Hope- Darryll Davis, Exodus Family Ministries- Shane Schlatter, Celebrate Recovery Fairdale- Larry Mitchum, Elevate Louisville- D’Andrea Williams, and Shirley’s Way- Mike Mulrooney.]

AND BEGIN. OKAY. I'M LISA AMMAN, LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT TO COUNCILMAN DAN SIM JUNIOR, AND I'M HERE TODAY TO INTRODUCE SOME PARTNERS THAT COUNCILMAN SIM IS WORKING WITH TO HELP MEET NEEDS IN DISTRICT 13. WHILE EACH OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE SPECIFIC AREAS OF FOCUS, THEY BUILD A COALITION AND ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO ASSIST THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, ADDICTION, AND INCARCERATION, AS WELL AS PROVIDING MENTORING SERVICES. TODAY, YOU WILL HEAR FROM THE RECOVERY RESOURCE NETWORK THAT INCLUDES LARRY MITCHAM WITH CELEBRATE RECOVERY FAIRDALE DARRELL DAVIS WITH THE PRISONERS HOPE SHANE SCHLATTER FROM WITH EXODUS FAMILY MINISTRIES, DEE DEE WILLIAMS WITH ELEVATE LOUISVILLE, AND PHIL ROSELLE WILL DISCUSS THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP. SO COUNCILMAN SIM WANTED THEM TO SHARE WITH YOU THE SERVICES THEIR ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THROUGH THEIR PARTNERSHIP. NOW, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO LARRY MITCHAM. OKAY THANK YOU, LISA, AND THANK YOU ALL. BEAR WITH ME. I'M FIGHTING ALLERGIES. SO IF I GET IN A COUGHING SPELL, WE'LL GET THROUGH IT IF YOU GIVE ME TIME. BUT AS HE SAID, THAT SERVED WITH THE CELEBRATE RECOVERY MINISTRY OUT OF FAIRDALE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR SEVEN YEARS NOW, I'M PROUD TO SAY I'VE BEEN CLEAN FOR DRUGS FOR 34 YEARS, AND ALCOHOL ABOUT 15 YEARS, AND JUST GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THE LIFE THAT HE HAS GIVEN ME. AND THE SECOND CHANCE WITH THAT RIGHT THERE, WHY WE GOT INVOLVED WITH OVER THE SEVEN YEARS AND WE WERE GETTING OUT TO MEETINGS, WE HAD JUST RAN ACROSS DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WERE SERVING IN THAT SAME FIELD WITH HOMELESSNESS AND RECOVERY, AND DEVELOP SOME RELATIONSHIPS THERE, AND WOULD MEET PERIODICALLY JUST TO BE INFORMATION HOW WE COULD ASSIST EACH OTHER, OFFER ENCOURAGEMENT, BECAUSE IT CAN BE A VERY CHALLENGING WITH THE LIFE DECISIONS THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE AND WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES. SO WE DID CONTINUE TO MEET PERIODICALLY, BUT AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE YEARS, WE BECAME AWARE OF MORE AND MORE GOOD THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. WE JUST DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THEM FROM THE NEWS AND THAT. BUT A LOT OF MINISTRIES AND AGENCIES WORKING VERY HARD TO SERVE IN THIS PARTICULAR FIELD. SO AS WE BECAME TO GET MORE AWARE OF THEM, I READ A BOOK ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO CALLED MULTIPLICATION, AND IT WAS TALKED ABOUT HOW FINDING YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT THE MAIN PART I GOT OUT OF THAT IS HOW WE CAN GET MORE ACCOMPLISHED BY WORKING TOGETHER, INSTEAD OF JUST FOCUSING ON ONE PARTICULAR AREA. SO I JUST HAD TO CALL, AND BY THAT TIME WE WERE PROBABLY PARTNERSHIPS AND CONNECTING WITH 20 OR 25 DIFFERENT MINISTRIES. AND AGENCIES AND DECIDED TO CALL A MEETING A MEETING, IF WE'RE GOING TO MEET, WE'RE GOING TO EAT OUT THEIR CHURCH, WITHOUT A DOUBT. SO WE CALLED A MEETING BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2000, 22, AND WE HAD ABOUT 20 OR 22 OF THESE DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND MINISTRIES COME OUT TO OUR MEETING, AND WE JUST ASKED THEM, YOU GOT THREE MINUTES TO TELL US WHO YOU ARE, HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU, AND WHAT AREA DO YOU FOCUS ON, BECAUSE WHAT WE FOUND OUT, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE DOLLARS TO DO EVERYTHING WE WANTED TO DO. WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW, KNOW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE VOLUNTEERS TO DO EVERYTHING. BUT IF WE COULD CALL PEOPLE TOGETHER TO SEE WHO ALL WAS DOING WHAT SO WE COULD HAVE A CONNECTION. NOW, AFTER EVERYBODY AND THEY ALL STAYED WITHIN THAT TIME, THREE MINUTE TIME LINE. BUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, WE

[00:10:04]

ALLOWED A 30 MINUTE NETWORKING TIME. SO IF YOU HEARD OF SOMEBODY THAT YOU NEEDED TO CONNECT WITH MORE FURTHER FOR DEVELOPING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH A PARTNER IN THAT. AND SINCE THAT TIME IN FEBRUARY OF 22, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO MEET TWICE A YEAR JUST GETTING UPDATES ON WHERE THINGS ARE AT, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE SAW SOME AMAZING THINGS GOING OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITIES TRYING TO HELP THOSE FACING LIFE CHALLENGES, FINALLY, IN THE FALL OF 23, WE'D HEARD ABOUT EXODUS FAMILY MINISTRIES. AND I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THA, BUT THEY HEARD SOME AMAZING THINGS GOING ON OUT THERE. SO WE ROTATED OUR MEETINGS SO PEOPLE COULD SEE THE ACTUAL THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THE POSITIVE MANNER IN THE SPRING OF THIS YEAR, 2024, WE MET. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW ISAIAH RECOVERY HOUSE OUT IN VALLEY STATION. IT'S A 100 BED FACILITY OUT THERE THAT OPENED UP. SO WE MET OUT THERE AND WE WERE MOVING ALL OF OUR PEOPLE AROUND TO JOINTLY SEE THE POSITIVE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON AND CONTINUE TO UPDATE WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY IN THIS PARTICULAR FIELD, AND HOW WE COULD WORK TOGETHER WITH THAT. SO OUR GOAL IS TO INFORM, ASSIST AND ENCOURAGE. LIKE I SAID, IT CAN BE A VERY CHALLENGING FIELD TO WORK IN, BUT IT CAN BE A VERY REWARDING FIELD WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT. COME ON AND THE RECONCILIATIONS THAT CAN GO ON WITH HUSBAND AND WIVES, MOTHERS AND KIDS, FAMILIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED IN THAT PART OF IT. WE'LL CONTINUE TO MEET ALONG THOSE LINES. WE WERE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE MEETING WE HAD AT ISAIAH HOUSE THIS PAST FALL, BECAUSE WE EVEN HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM BULLITT COUNTY, TRIMBLE COUNTY, SPENCER COUNTY, OLDHAM COUNTY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA CAME OUT AND JOINED OUR MEETINGS TOO. SO WE'RE LIKELY TO SEE THAT EXPAND THAT AREA ALONG THOSE LINES. SO WE JUST WANTED TO COME. WE HAD WORKED TOGETHER WITH DAN. I WAS FAMILIAR WITH DAN WHEN HE GOT ELECTED, INVITED HIM OUT TO CELEBRATE RECOVERY MINISTRY. I INVITED HIM OUT TO COME AND JUST WITNESS WHAT WAS GOING ON OUT THERE. WE STARTED THAT PROGRAM SEVEN YEARS AGO, AND I'M GOING TO TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT. ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO, ABOUT 20 OR 25 PEOPLE, AND WE GET ANYWHERE FROM 180 TO 200 MEN AND WOMEN OUT THERE EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT NOW. AND JUST SO HE SAW THAT AND SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT WE WORK WITH, THE PRISONERS HOPE MINISTRY, EXODUS FAMILY MINISTRIES THAT YOU HEAR FROM TODAY AND HE JUST ASKED IF WE COME DOWN. WE SAID WE'D LOVE TO SHARE WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE AND HOW WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR THOSE THAT ARE FACING LIFE'S CHALLENGES. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DARRELL DAVIS. DARRELL IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PRISONERS HOPE MINISTRY AND LET HIM TAKE OVER BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO RESPECT YOUR TIME FRAME TODAY. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM FOR MISTER MITCHELL. NO QUESTIONS. OKAY THANK YOU MISTER. THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS DARRELL DAVIS. I AM THE FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF AN ORGANIZATION CALLED THE PRISONERS HOPE. HERE IN LOUISVILLE, WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST MULTIFACETED ORGANIZATIONS, PROBABLY AS A 501 C3 IN KENTUCKY. THIS ORGANIZATION WAS FORGED FROM A 35 YEAR SENTENCE THAT I HAD, I DID 22.5 YEARS INCARCERATION, COMMITTED A MURDER IN 1988 AND WENT TO PRISON IN 1990, DID 22.5 YEARS AND WATCHED THE RECIDIVISM, RECIDIVISM SOAR TO THE HEAVENS WHILE I WAS THERE QUESTIONING SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WENT, CAME AND WENT AND ASKED THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHY ARE YOU BACK? AND SO WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS KIND OF WHAT I PUT TO WORK STARTING A NONPROFIT WITH WHEN I WALKED OUT OF PRISON IN 2012, FREE SERVED OUT, SO WHAT OUR ORGANIZATION DOES TODAY, WE WORK WITH MEN AND WOMEN ON THEIR WAY TO PRISON. IN PRISON, COMING OUT OF PRISON ON THEIR WAY INTO PRISON WHEN WE ARE, WHEN WE FIND OUT ABOUT THE CLIENT THAT WE'LL BE WORKING WITH, WE ALSO WORK WITH THE FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND. WE SIT DOWN WITH THAT FAMILY AND LOOK AT THEIR ECONOMY. WE NAVIGATE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO BE IN THE THROES OF DESPAIR WITH AN INCARCERATED HUSBAND, WE ALSO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING FOR THE CHILDREN SO THEY GET THEY DO NOT GET STUCK IN A TRAUMA, JUST IN A TRAUMA CAMP THERE. WE HELP THEM UNPACK THAT AND PROCESS THROUGH THE TRAUMA AND THE INCARCERATION PHASE. WE START OUR WORK TWO YEARS BEFORE THEY GET OUT OF PRISON. WE REQUIRE THEM TO DO A GED, LIFE SKILLS, MORAL RECOGNITION, THERAPY, TWO YEAR VOCATION, AND LOTS OF OTHER PROGRAMS. WE ASSIGN A MENTOR TO EACH PERSON WE WORK WITH, AND THEN POST INCARCERATION. WHEN OUR PEOPLE WALK OUT THE DOOR, WE PROVIDE A CELL PHONE FOR A POTENTIAL EMPLOYER CALL BACK. WE GET WE HAVE 100% SUCCESS RATE AT GETTING THEM JOBS, WE PROVIDE CLOTHES, WORK BOOTS. WE PROVIDE COUNSELING SERVICES, COMPUTER SKILLS. WE GET OUR ID, WE GET THEIR INSURANCE STARTED. SO IT'S A LOT OF WORK, BUT WE'RE PRETTY BLESSED TO HAVE 181 VOLUNTEERS IN OUR ORGANIZATION. WE'VE BEEN A NONPROFIT FOR ABOUT 11 YEARS.

AND, WE JUST CURRENTLY RECENTLY PURCHASED A HOTEL OUT ON JENNINGS LANE, THE OLD FOUR KINGS CAFE, AND WE'RE RENOVATING THAT AND TURNING IT INTO A TRANSITION HOUSE THAT WILL HOLD 27 PEOPLE. WE HAVE 15 PEOPLE IN THERE AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE 11 YEARS WE'VE BEEN A NONPROFIT, WE'VE WORKED WITH ABOUT 1200 PEOPLE THAT WERE EITHER GOING TO

[00:15:03]

PRISON, IN PRISON, COMING OUT OF PRISON, WE'VE WORKED WITH ABOUT 1000 FAMILIES AND A LOT OF CHILDREN OVER THE YEARS AS WELL, THAT'S OUR ORGANIZATION. IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'D LOVE TO ANSWER THEM, ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY COUNCILMAN OWEN. EXCUSE ME. JUST WONDERING WHERE YOUR FUNDING GENERALLY COMES FROM. AND ALSO, I ASSUME THAT THIS IS A THIS IS A VOLUNTEER. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM THAT ARE GOING TO PRISON, THEY THEY CHOOSE THIS AS OPPOSED TO IT BEING MANDATED BY THE COURTS. THAT IS CORRECT. YES. SO OUR FUNDING COMES THROUGH GRANT WRITING. WE WRITE GRANTS. WE DO FOR MAJOR FUNDRAISERS PER YEAR AND IN PRIVATE DONORS AS WELL, AND SO GRANTS HAS BEEN A REAL HELP FOR US TO MOVE THE NEEDLE.

OUR, OUR BUDGET ANNUALLY IS $400,000. THAT WAS BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE HOTEL, UNDER THE OUR OUR UMBRELLA. THE PRISONERS HOPE WE DID A DBA AND THE HOTELS CALLED PATHWAYS TO HOPE. NO.

WHERE IS YOUR HOTEL AT? IT'S AT 4642 JENNINGS LANE, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH NEWBURGH ROAD, BISHOP'S LANE AND THAT TURNS INTO JENNINGS LANE. PERFECT PLACE FOR US TO LAND. IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL PARK. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY RESIDENTIAL KICKBACK THERE, WE'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB, AND WE PURCHASED IT IN APRIL. WE'VE ALREADY GOT HALF OF IT RENOVATED, WE WILL PROVIDE PROGRAM SPACE THERE, I HAVE A MASTER'S IN DIVINITY. I'LL SOON BE FINISHING MY SCHOOL, SO I'LL BE ABLE TO. I'LL BE A CERTIFIED SEX ADDICTION THERAPIST, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO POUR INTO THEIR LIVES WITH IN-HOUSE AMENITIES LIKE SEX ADDICTION, THERAPEUTIC CLASSES, BUDGETING CLASSES, BIBLE STUDIES. WE WILL HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY, COMPUTER LAB AN, JUST, JUST ANNUAL GROUPS COMING TOGETHER, HELPING THOSE GUYS GET THEIR LIVES ON TRACK, CASE MANAGEMENT AND COUNSELING AS WELL. I GUESS I WAS JUST SITTING HERE THINKING, I GO THROUGH THERE QUITE OFTEN. I JUST DON'T REMEMBER A HOTEL SITTING BACK THERE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T, DOCTOR, IT WAS A IT WAS A IT WAS CALLED FOUR KINGS CAFE. AND SO IN THE FRONT, THE FACE OF IT WAS JUST A RESTAURANT. AND THEN THE HOTEL WAS BEHIND IT. AND SO IT HAS 27 ROOMS IN THERE. OH OKAY. YEAH. PERFECT PLACE FOR US TO LAND. YEAH, YEAH. IF YOU'RE EVER OUT THERE, YOU'RE WELCOME TO STOP IN. I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU FOR A TOUR IN THAT AREA. AND I GO ACROSS THAT RAILROAD TRACK, AND IT'S RIGHT THERE BY THE RAILROAD TRACK, ISN'T IT? YES. I WAS ALMOST LATE TODAY BECAUSE OF THAT RAILROAD TRACK. THEY HAVE THE LONGEST TRAINS IN LOUISVILLE. OKAY. THANK YOU GUYS. OKAY. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? OKAY THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. I WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT. THANK. MY NAME IS SHANE SLATER. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR EXODUS FAMILY MINISTRY. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL ALLOWING US THIS TIME TO COME FORWARD AND TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DO, OUR MINISTRY, REALLY RELAUNCHED ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO IN THE MIDST OF COVID, WHICH IS THE PERFECT TIME WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING TO ADDRESS NEEDS, SO IT'S BEEN AN ADVENTURE FROM THERE, WE HAVE A FOOD PANTRY THAT WE RUN IN THE VALLEY STATION AREA. WHAT MAKES THAT UNIQUE? WE DO SERVE THE ENTIRE CITY. WE ALSO OFFER DELIVERIES. MOST FOOD PANTRIES DO NOT. SO WE FOCUS A LOT ON PEOPLE THAT ARE SHUT INS, WHETHER IT'S SENIORS OR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

WILL ACTUALLY DRIVE OUT. WE SERVE NINE ZIP CODES WITH DELIVERIES, RIGHT NOW WE ARE ALMOST DOUBLED FROM LAST YEAR. OUR FOOD PANTRY WAS SERVING ABOUT A THOUSAND PEOPLE LAST YEAR. WE'RE UP AROUND 1700 PEOPLE THIS THIS YEAR. THE SAME MONTH WE ARE ALSO DELIVERING NOW ABOUT 170 DELIVERIES A MONTH, WHICH IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. ALMOST ALL OF IT IS VOLUNTEER BASED. WE ONLY HAVE THREE EMPLOYEES, RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING MYSELF, WE HAVE A SENIOR PROGRAM THAT WE FOCUS ON, SPECIFICALLY SENIORS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED RIGHT NOW. THAT'S ONE OF OUR LARGEST RISING POPULATIONS, SO WE'RE SERVING 70 SENIOR COMMODITY BOXES THROUGH DARE TO CARE. RIGHT NOW. AND WE'RE DELIVERING ABOUT 40 OF THOSE. SO IT'S IT KEEPS US BUSY, WE ALSO HAVE A CLOTHES CLOSET, WHICH IS ONE OF THE ONLY ONES IN OUR AREA WHICH FOCUSES ON PEOPLE THAT NEED GOOD FITTING CLOTHES AND DECENT CLOTHES FOR WORK. AS WELL AS KIDS THAT ARE IN SCHOOL THAT DON'T HAVE SHOES THAT FIT, THAT DON'T HAVE CLOTHES THAT FIT. WE SERVE A LOT OF THEM. EVERYTHING IS 100% FREE OF CHARGE. WE'RE OPEN TWICE A MONTH FOR THAT, AND WE SERVE ABOUT 125 NEIGHBORS EACH MONTH THROUGH THAT PROGRAM. AND THEN WE HAD FOCUSED ON DOING OUTREACH FOR THE UNHOUSED. WE DID THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN SOUTHWEST JEFFERSON COUNTY, UNFORTUNATELY, AS WE DID THAT, WE LOST A LOT OF PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN THAT AREA, DO NOT KNOW OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR CITY AND ACTUALLY, TWO WEEKS AGO, ON A MONDAY WHEN WE WERE PICKING PEOPLE UP, WE HAD A WOMAN THAT WAS, BEATEN UP, SHE COULD BARELY WALK TO THE VAN.

SHE HAD BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED THE NIGHT BEFORE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS SHE SAID TO US, WE WERE ABLE TO GET HER INTO A SHELTER TO BE PROTECTED. SO SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO BACK OUT ON THE

[00:20:03]

STREET. BUT AS WE WALKED HER INTO THE SHELTER, ONE OF THE THINGS SHE SAID IS, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THESE SERVICES WERE AVAILABLE. AND SO THAT'S WHY, A YEAR AGO, WE WERE ABLE TO LAUNCH AN UNHOUSED RESOURCE CENTER. IT'S A DROP IN CENTER A DAY SHELTER, IN SOUTHWEST JEFFERSON COUNTY. IT'S LOCATED IN SHIVELY, WE DID IT OUT OF AN OLD CONCESSION STAND THAT'S AT THE SAINT DENIS PROPERTY. WE WERE ABLE TO LEASE THE BUILDING FOR A DOLLAR A YEAR, WHICH IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS PROBABLY WORTH ABOUT A DOLLAR A YEAR. BUT AFTER A LOT OF WORK AND NO BUDGET, WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT UP AND OPERATIONAL IN OCTOBER. 16TH. AND SO WE REALIZED THAT TAKING FOOD AND TAKING SUPPLIES OUT TO FOLKS THAT WERE LIVING ON THE STREET WAS NOT ENOUGH, THAT THEY NEEDED MORE, AND THEY NEEDED CONNECTIONS TO RESOURCES THAT WOULD HELP THEM OVERCOME THE BARRIERS THAT KEPT THEM WHERE THEY WERE. AND SO I'M GLAD TO JUST READ OFF SOME QUICK NUMBERS IN THE LAST LESS THAN A YEAR, BECAUSE WE LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER, WE'VE HAD OVER 1500 VISITS. WE ESTIMATED THAT WE WOULD SEE 100 UNIQUE CLIENTS IN THAT FIRST YEAR, WE ARE NOW OVER 340 UNIQUE CLIENTS. WE FOCUS ON CANE RUN, DIXIE HIGHWAY, BARRY TAYLOR BOULEVARD, AND SOUTHERN PARKWAY, WE'VE SERVED OVER 1500 MEALS, PROVIDED OVER 1000 EMERGENCY CLOTHES OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE. WE'VE DONE 798 LOADS OF LAUNDRY. YOU ALL CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH FUN THAT IS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL LIKE FOLDING CLOTHES OR NOT, 1048 SHOWERS. WE'VE DRIVEN OVER PEOPLE TO OVER 60 APPOINTMENTS TO GET THE HELP THAT THEY NEED. WHETHER IT'S DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MENTAL HEALTH. IT GOES ON AND ON. 122 CONNECTIONS TO THE VOA FOR ID BIRTH CERTIFICATES, 55 CONNECTIONS TO VA FOR OUR VETERANS THAT WE WORK WITH, AND A LOT. WE JUST HAD ONE GET HOUSED LAST WEEK, 207 CONNECTIONS TO PHOENIX HEALTH CENTER THAT COMES OUT ON SITE AND BRINGS A NURSE AND THEIR MOBILE MEDICAL UNIT TO GET PEOPLE THE MEDICAL HELP THEY NEED 36 CONNECTIONS TO UK HEALTH. THAT'S DUE IN ON SITE HIV AND HEP C TESTING 115 FOR THE COMMON ASSESSMENT TEAM TO HELP PEOPLE MOVE TOWARDS THE SITUATION OF GETTING HOUSED. 108 THAT WE'VE CONNECTED TO OTHER SERVICES, WE'VE HAD 27 PEOPLE GO INTO SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS, IN-PATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAMS SINCE WE OPENED, TWO FOR INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH. WE'VE HAD 14 ACTUALLY GO INTO HOUSING AND ONE THAT WAS JUST APPROVED THIS WEEK THAT SHOULD BE IN HOUSING WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'RE STARTING UP SOME AA CLASSES. WE'VE GOT GRIEF TRAUMA COUNSELING EVERY OTHER WEEK NOW THAT WE'RE INTRODUCING, SO IT'S JUST BEEN AMAZING, THE MOMENTUM THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PICK UP IN THE LAST YEAR, WE KNEW THAT IT WAS NEEDED, AND WE'RE THANKFUL TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE WE'RE BEING ABLE TO OFFER IT. AND AS WE GO INTO WHAT WILL BE OUR SECOND YEAR, WE'VE GOT MORE PARTNERS THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE THAT ARE COMING OUT ON SITE. SO I HAVE A FEELING WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE LIVES CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND YEAR OF IT BEING OPEN IN OCTOBER. SO I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT GIVES YOU ALL AN OVERVIEW OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING OUT IN THE SOUTH END. IT SOUNDS GOOD AND I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. YES, COUNCILWOMAN. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU REACHED INTO TAYLOR BERRY AND SOUTHERN PARKWAY. WE HAVE. SO WE ARE THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING PROBABLY FOR THE LAST 2 OR 3 MONTHS. THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN OUR GOAL. BUT OBVIOUSLY DEPENDING ON VOLUNTEERS. AND WE JUST GOT ANOTHER VAN THROUGH THE KENTUCKY COLONELS. SO ONE THING ABOUT THE SOUTH END, IT'S SO SPREAD OUT, IT'S HARD TO GET ONE VAN, YOU KNOW, IN THAT BIG GEOGRAPHICAL AREA. BUT NOW WITH THE SECOND VAN, WE'RE WE'RE BEING ABLE TO FOCUS MORE ON THOSE AREAS. SO WE'RE WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO DO IT. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS. OH VERY GOOD. AND SO PARENTING, COUNCILMAN OWEN'S QUESTION. SO WHERE'S YOUR FUNDING? HOW ARE YOU SPENDING ON THIS? ANYWHERE WE CAN GET IT. I KNOW THAT'S THAT'S AN ANSWER, BUT WE DO A LOT OF GRANT WRITING. THAT'S REALLY HELPED US, ESPECIALLY WITH WITH THIS BEING A NEW INITIATIVE, SO GRANT WRITING, PRIVATE DONORS, WE ARE STARTING TO STEP UP OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS AND DO MORE FUNDRAISERS. WE HAVE ONE BIG ANNUAL FUNDRAISER THAT WE DEPEND ON EVERY YEAR, AND THEN NOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COORDINATE WITH THE CITY AS WELL. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH NICOLE GEORGE, JOHN PHILBIN WITH THE OFFICE OF HOMELESSNESS, THE COALITION, NATALIE'S HELPED US TO GET SOME DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEN OUR COUNCILWOMAN, TAMMY HAWKINS HAS BEEN HAS BEEN GREAT WITH TRYING TO LEAD US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH SOME FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. NO. CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WAS INTERESTED IN THE PART ABOUT THE PANTRY BECAUSE I RUN A PANTRY AND MONDAY I WAS SO EXCITED BECAUSE I HAD 101 PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT. AND THEN YOU SAID YOU HAD

[00:25:05]

1700. I SAID, OH GOD, WE LITTLE BITTY WELL, THAT'S STILL IT TAKES IT TAKES ALL OF US. AND WE DON'T DELIVER. I HAVE LIKE FIVE PEOPLE THAT I DELIVER TO AND THEY SENIORS, THEY CAN'T GET OUT. BUT OTHER THAN THAT AND CALEB IS ALWAYS HOLLERING, WE ONLY HAVE ONE CAR TO DELIVER. SO BUT IT'S REALLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I REALLY ENJOY HELPING PEOPLE IN SHIRLEY'S WAY CAME OUT AND HELPED US AFTER THEY CAME IN HERE. LIKE, WAS IT LAST MONTH? A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN THEY CAME OUT AND BROUGHT CEREAL AND ALL KIND OF STUFF FOR US. SO OUR PEOPLE THIS WEEK A LOT. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. WE APPRECIATE IT. WELL THANK YOU. AND IT TAKES ALL THESE PANTRIES BECAUSE THE FAMILY'S NOT GOING TO SURVIVE JUST OFF OF WHAT THEY GET FROM US. AND SO IF THEY DON'T IF THEY DON'T HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THEN SOMETIMES THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITHOUT. THANKS. AND OUR PEOPLE, THEY EVERY MONTH IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE. AND I GET THERE ABOUT A 7:45. THEY'RE ALREADY SITTING THERE IN LINE. AND THE LINE GOES ALL THE WAY PAST POPLAR ROAD. WOW. AND SO AND THEN THAT'S JUST 101 PEOPLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE CAR WOULD BE BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND ALL OF THAT. BUT THERE'S A NEED OUT THERE. AND I JUST APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GUYS DO. WELL THANK YOU ALL. IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. NO. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I APPRECIATE YOU NOT BEING YET, BUT I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MISS DIDI WILLIAMS WHO'S WITH ELEVATE LOUISVILLE. WHO'S GOING TO SPEAK OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON. SO MY NAME IS DIDI WILLIAMS. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ELEVATE LOUISVILLE.

AND SO WHAT ELEVATE LOUISVILLE IS A YOUTH MENTORING LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION OR HOLISTIC EDUCATION PROGRAM. AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE ACADEMY AT SHAWNEE TO DO THIS WORK. SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY BEHIND ELEVATE. WE ARE ACTUALLY ONE. WELL, WE WERE FOUNDED IN 2023, BUT WE ARE ONE OF 21 AFFILIATES OF ELEVATE USA, WHICH IS ACTUALLY BASED IN DENVER, COLORADO AND WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1982 AS COLORADO UPLIFT. AND SO WHAT OUR MISSION IS, IS ABOUT BUILDING LONG TERM, LIFE CHANGING RELATIONSHIPS WITH URBAN YOUTH, EQUIPPING THEM TO THRIVE AND CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITY. AND SO WE DO THIS BY HIRING TWO FULL TIME, SALARIED TEACHER MENTORS IS WHAT WE CALL THEM. AND THEY ARE PART TEACHER, PART MENTOR LIFE COACH. AND THE GOAL IS BASICALLY IS TO HELP STUDENTS NAVIGATE LIFE'S TOUGHEST CHALLENGES AND JUST TO CELEBRATE THE WINS WITH THEM AS WELL. AND THE STRENGTH OF THESE RELATIONSHIP IS THROUGH OUR FOUR CORE COMPONENTS, WHICH IS IT'S AN ELECTIVE CLASS THAT WE ACTUALLY TEACH IN THE SCHOOL.

IT'S ON CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. SO WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE SCHOOL MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WORKING ALONGSIDE THE TEACHERS AND THE STAFF. AND SO WE ALSO DO MENTORING. AND I SAY IT'S 24 OVER SEVEN MENTORING. AND THAT INCLUDES ONE ON ONE MENTORING. BUT OUR GOAL IS THAT IF LIFE SHOWS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FOR A STUDENT, WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THEY HAVE SOMEONE THAT THEY CAN CONTACT, WHETHER IT'S THE PARENT THAT NEEDS TO REACH OUT TO US, BUT WE ALSO DO AFTER SCHOOL IN SCHOOL, WEEKEND AND SUMMER PROGRAMING AS WELL. SO WE ARE A YEAR ROUND PROGRAM, 365 24 OVER SEVEN. AND SO WE ALSO DO ADVENTURE. AND THAT'S THINGS LIKE HORSEBACK RIDING AND CANOEING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO THE GOAL IS TO GET STUDENTS OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE, EXPOSE THEM TO NEW THINGS. BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT GROWTH THROUGH CHALLENGE. AND SO WE ALL KNOW THAT SOME OF, YOU KNOW, OUR BEST LESSONS HAVE BEEN THROUGH LIFE EXPERIENCES. AND SO WE WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO SAY PUT THEM IN A TOUGH SITUATION, BUT JUST GET THEM OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND HELP THEM TO NAVIGATE THOSE. AND ALSO WE DO COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS.

AND SO WE ACTUALLY START OUR CLASSES IN THE NINTH GRADE. AND SO THE PIPELINE IS THAT WE START IN NINTH GRADE WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO ELEVATE, WHICH IS I CALL IT HIGH SCHOOL 101.

AND JUST TEACHING STUDENTS THOSE BASIC LIFE SKILLS AND, YOU KNOW, HABITS TO GET THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. BUT THEN WHEN THEY GET TO THE 10TH AND 11TH GRADE, WE HAVE AN ELEVATOR. WHICH IS WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE OUR STUDENTS GO IN AND DO A CROSS-AGE MENTORING WITH FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS AT A LOCAL ELEMENTARY. AND IT'S AGAIN TEACHING THEM TO ROLE MODEL AND BE LEADERS. AND WE DO THAT SO THAT THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS, THEY DON'T LEARN FROM US, BUT THEY LEARN FROM THEIR PEERS BECAUSE SOMEONE WHO IS 14 OR 15 IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE MUCH COOLER THAN SOMEONE WHO IS MY AGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WE DO THAT, AND THEN THEN ONCE THEY GET TO 10TH AND 11TH, THEN WE ALSO HAVE WHAT WE CALL ELEVATE BEYOND, WHICH IS A 12TH GRADE CLASS. AND SO WHAT WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT SHAWNEE IS THAT THE CURRENT PRINCIPAL, MISS SMITH, SHE REALLY WANTS TO INCREASE THE COLLEGE GOING RATE. AND THE COLLEGE AND THE GRADUATION RATE AT SHAWNEE. AND SO WHAT WE DO, WE HELP TO TRACK ON TRACK TO GRADUATION. WE HELP TO KEEP THOSE STUDENTS IN THE NINTH GRADE AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE MATRICULATING EACH YEAR, BECAUSE WE KNOW IF STUDENTS GET BEHIND THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM DROPPING OUT, IS GREATER. SO WE REALLY

[00:30:03]

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

AND THE WAY WE DO THIS ALSO IS THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS, WE CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT PARENTS. AND SO WE DO THIS THROUGH ENGAGING THEM IN HOME VISITS, WE CONTACT PARENTS WHEN THINGS ARE GOING GREAT AND WHEN THINGS ARE NOT SO GREAT, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO JUST BE CALLING PARENTS WHEN THINGS ARE BAD. SO WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR PARENTS.

WE CONSIDER OURSELVES RESOURCE BROKERS. AND SO ALL THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WE'VE HEARD ABOUT TODAY, WE TRY TO CONNECT OUR FAMILIES AND OUR STUDENTS TO THOSE SO THEY CAN NOT JUST THE STUDENT, BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT THE ENTIRE FAMILY IS SUCCESSFUL. AND SO, YEAH, SO JUST, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE ARE ONE OF 21 AFFILIATES. AND JUST SOME OF THE THINGS, LIKE I SAID, 100% OF ELEVATE STUDENTS HAVE A PLAN, POST-SECONDARY PLAN, 91% OF ELEVATE STUDENTS ARE ON TRACK TO GRADUATE, AND THEN 71% OF THOSE HAVE ARE CURRENTLY PURSUING A COLLEGE DEGREE. AND SO HERE AT ELEVATE LOUISVILLE, WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT SAME IMPACT. WE'VE ALREADY SEEN IT JUST IN THE SHORT TIME THAT WE'VE BEEN THERE. SO THAT IS ELEVATE LOUISVILLE. ANY QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS COUNCILWOMAN OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I TAUGHT AT SHAWNEE ABOUT 7 OR 8 YEARS AGO, AND I REMEMBER HOW CHALLENGING IT WAS. AND I KNOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED QUITE A BIT. CERTAINLY THERE'S A MUCH LARGER STUDENT BODY THAN THERE WAS WHEN I WAS THERE, MUCH LARGER. SO IS THIS ACTUALLY A CLASS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY? YES. THIS IS ACTUALLY A CLASS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. SO IT'S AN IT'S AN ELECTIVE CLASS. AND SO IT'S ON THE STUDENTS ROSTERS ON THEIR TRANSCRIPT. THIS IS MORE LIKE A FRESHMAN ACADEMY OR AN ADVISORY OR A PATHWAY CLASS IS WHAT IT IS. AND SO STUDENTS CAN ENROLL. IF A COUNSELOR OR TEHER FEELS THAT A PARENT FEELS IT'S A GOOD FIT, THEN THEY'LL ROLL THEM INTO THAT AS WELL. BUT YEAH, WE'RE ACTUALLY THERE ALL DAY IN THE IN THE SCHOOL. SO IS IT A JCP, A CERTIFIED TEACHER THEN? NO, THIS IS NOT A JCP CERTIFIED TEACHER. WE HAVE A TEACHER OF RECORD THAT IS ON THAT THAT WE THAT'S ON THE ROSTER THAT WE ACTUALLY REPORT TO. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. YEAH.

COUNCIL MEMBER. HI, HOW'S THE AVIATION PROGRAM GOING, IT'S GOING OKAY, I THINK THEY ARE.

EITHER THEY HAVE A NEW DIRECTOR OR THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A NEW DIRECTOR FOR THE AVIATION PROGRAM. MY TWO DAUGHTERS TAUGHT THERE YEARS AGO. OH, AWESOME. YEAH. AND THEY THEY'VE THEY'VE WORKED REALLY HARD TRYING TO KEEP THAT PROGRAM GOING WITH THE A&P AND THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR.

YEAH. IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. YEAH. I KNOW THE LAST TIME I HEARD ABOUT IT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A NEW DIRECTOR OF THAT ACADEMY. I KNOW THEY HAD A CLASS THIS SUMMER, A COUPLE OF CLASSES THIS SUMMER KIDS BECAUSE SOME FROM THE NEWBERRY AREA WHEN THEY I THINK THEY WENT TO VIRGINIA ON THE PLANES. YEAH I THINK AFTER THEY GET 16, THEY'RE ABLE TO THEY LET THEM FLY. OH, NICE.

YEAH. SO WE'RE WE'RE HOPING TO INTRODUCE MORE STUDENTS TO THAT AVIATION PROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S AN AWESOME CAREER FIELD. AND DEFINITELY FOR YOUNG LADIES, I WANT TO TRY TO INTRODUCE AND BRING IN PROFESSIONAL SPEAKERS TO SHOW THEM THAT IT'S A POSSIBILITY FOR THEM AS WELL.

AND JUST BEING PART OF SHAWNEE, WE ARE PART OF THE SHAWNEE COMMUNITY. SO WE HAD A BEST BUY EVENT WHERE WE DID THAT AT SHAWNEE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, AND SO ACTUALLY OUR STUDENTS ATTENDED. BUT THEN OVER 100 STUDENTS FROM THE SHAWNEE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATED IN THAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE FROM, THAT'S AT HOME SITTING, WATCHING? NOBODY. OKAY SO DO WE HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER? THANK YOU. ONE. THANK YOU. COME BACK AGAIN. MY NAME IS LARRY MITCHUM, ONCE AGAIN SERVED WITH THE CELEBRATE RECOVERY MINISTRY AT FAIRDALE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. AND JUST LIKE TO TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES ON WHY WE STARTED THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM OUT THERE, IS THAT WITHIN OUR CHURCH, WE WERE NOTICING, SOME EIGHT YEARS AGO, SOME DEATHS, NOT DEATHS OF

[00:35:04]

MEMBERS, BUT FAMILY MEMBERS FROM OVERDOSE AND SUICIDE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. REALIZI THE PROBLEMS THAT WAS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. AND WE FELT LIKE IT WAS A FAMILIAR WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM AND FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING TO TRY TO GET SOME RELIEF AND GET SOME OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AND HOW THEY CAN GET SOME HELP, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED THAT PROGRAM OUT THERE, WE SAID, WHAT'S GOING TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM COMING OUT ON A FRIDAY NIGHT? AND THEY SAID, WELL, WE GOT TO WORK. WE GOT TO GO HOME AND FIX DINNER FOR EVERYBODY AND SAID, WELL, WE'LL HAVE DINNER FOR YOU. SO DINNER'S A 530 TO ABOUT 630.

I SAID, WELL, WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY WATCH THE KIDS. SO WE HAVE SOME ADULTS WITH SENIOR YOUTH WATCHING THE KIDS AND WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY OUT THERE. WE ACTUALLY RENT A BUS TO GO DOWN TO THE HEALING PLACE AND PICK UP 50 OR SO MEN AND WOMEN THERE, AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO RUN OUR SECOND BAND TO PICK UP AT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. AND THAT WAY IT GETS THEM OUT THERE.

AND LIKE I SAID, WE JUST HAVE SEEN REMARKABLE THINGS. WE GIVE GOD THE GLORY FOR THAT. BUT JUST ONCE WE GET THEM OUT THERE, LIKE I SAID, MANY TIMES, THEY'RE CONG OUTUST TO GET OUT OF THEIR FACILITY FOR A FEW HOURS. BUT ONCEHEY E THERE IN A NON-JUDGMENTAL, FITTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE, EXPERIENCE THEIR SAME ISSUES THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH. AND LE I ID, OR THE LA COUE OWEEKS, WE'VE HAD LITTVE0 COHEN FRI ABOUT 515 TO 615. THEN WE GO INTO OUR OPEN MEETING, WHICH ENTAILS A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THEN SOME WORSHIP TIME. ALSO READ THROUGH THE PRINCIPLES AND THE STEPS, AND WE GIVE OUT CHIPS FOR CLEAN TIME, WHICH WE TURN IT LOOSE IN THERE. WE HAD ONE OF OUR SAINTS OUT THERE CELEBRATE RECOVERY. IT'S OKAY TO GLANCE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, BUT WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE ROAD AHEAD AND WE WANT TO FOCUS ON WHERE THEY'RE GOING, N THEY'VE BEEN AT, THINGS LIKE ATD TH AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BREAK AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO SMALL GROUPS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S TALKED ABOUT IN OUR SMALL GROUPS IS THIS CONFIDENTIAL ALONG THOSE LINES? SO WE'VE CONTINUED TO DO THAT. WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT RECOVERY PROGRAMS THAT COME OUT WITH THIS AND MEET EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT. LIKE I SAID, I HAVE INCLUDED IN THE INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT WITH LISA SENT THAT OUT TO YOU. THERE SHOULD BE VIDEOS FOR EACH ONE OF THESE UNITS. IF DEPENDENT DEPARTMENTS THAT THIS VIDEOS WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE INSTEAD OF JUST HEARING BECAUSE WE THINK THEY'RE REAL EXPERIENCES THAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT PARTICULAR PART OF IT, THE POWER PARTNERSHIPS, WE JUST HAVE SEEN THAT. I'D LOVE TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. ONE DAY OF PROBABLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE PICK UP FROM KENTUCKY, PART OF KENTUCKY HARVEST. WE PICK UP AT THORNTONS A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK WITH THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE ABOUT TO GO PAST THE BEST USE BY DATE WITH THAT. AND THEN WE'LL RUN THEM OVER ON TUESDAYS TO SHANE AT EXODUS FAMILY MINISTRIES, WHO THEY GO OUT AND CALL ON THE HOMELESS CAMPS WITH SANDWICHES, SNACKS, FRESH FRUITS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN ON FRIDAY WE TAKE IT DOWN TO THE ARTHUR STREET HOTEL.

WHILE I WAS OVER THERE AT THEIR PLACE, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I HAD PICKED UP SOME TENNIS SHOES THAT HAD BEEN DONATED TO HIM, NEW TENNIS SHOES, AND I WAS DOWN AT THE CORNER OF HOPE RECOVERY PROGRAM A COUPLE OF DAYS EARLIER. THEY PROVIDE LUNCH WITH THE LORD'S KITCHEN THERE, AND NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY COULD USE SOME TENNIS SHOES, BUT AT THAT MEANTIME, CORNER OF HOPE CALLED US AND SAID, HEY, WE JUST GOT A TRUCKLOAD OF WATER. CASES OF WATER COME IN, CAN YOU COME DOWN AND GET SOME? I SAID, I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN. I'LL BRING YOU SOME TENNIS SHOES TO GIVE TO THE PEOPLE. SO JUST BY THOSE COUPLE OF MEETINGS A YEAR, WE COULD SEE WHAT THE NEED IS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. WE'RE LOOKING FOR EACH OTHER AND NOT WAITING TILL WE GET IN A DESPERATE NEED JUST TO TRY TO ASSIST EACH OTHER, TRY TO HELP THE NEXT INDIVIDUAL OUT. ALONG THOSE LINES, WE'VE CONTINUED TO DO THAT, NOW, LISA PASSED OUT A LITTLE PACKET OF INFORMATION IN THERE. IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO LOOK THROUGH IT, YOU'LL SEE A BROCHURE IN THERE AS WELL. IT TELLS YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CELEBRATE RECOVERY MINISTRY. YOU'LL SEE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM COUNCILMAN SAM THAT WROTE THAT ON OUR BEHALF. HE'S COME OUT THERE AND BEEN A BIG SUPPORTER OF OURS AND THE RECOVERY RESOURCE NETWORK. YOU'LL SEE SOME OF I'M A I'M AN OLD INSURANCE SALESMAN. SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW EVERYTHING'S GOING GOOD. BUT I LIKE TO SHOW YOU SATISFIED CLIENTS. THERE'S A COUPLE LETTERS FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTORS FROM JEFFERSON STREET BAPTIST CENTER, NOW LOUISVILLE RESCUE MISSION AND THE HEALING PLACE, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE CLIENTS THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THE PROGRAMS AND HOW THEIR LIFE'S BEEN TRANSPIRED. I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU, IT'S A ROSIE, BUT I THINK YOU ALL KNOW WELL ENOUGH. WE SEE BOTH ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM AND CAN SEE IT WITHIN A WEEK'S TIME WHEN THINGS ARE GOING GREAT AND GET A CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT SOMEBODY OVERDOSED. SO WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT. GOING ON.

BUT JUST THE SIGNS, WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT CLICK FROM THOSE PEOPLE. AND FINDING THE PEACE AND CONTENTMENT IN THE NEW LIFE, IT KEEPS US GOING WITHOUT A DOUBT. AND THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE PARTNERED WITH SHARE THAT SAME ENTHUSIASM. AND THAT'S WHY WE FOUND IT A GOOD PARTNERSHIP, NOT ONLY TO INFORM AND ASSIST TO ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER TO KEEP GOING BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL GOOD DAYS. SOME ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN OTHERS, WITHOUT A DOUBT. SO THAT THE OTHER THING WE DO ONCE A YEAR IS HAVE A NIGHT OF HOPE CONCERT THIS SEPTEMBER 27TH THAT WILL BE,

[00:40:02]

HELD AT NIGHT OF HOPE. AND THAT'S A CONCERT WHERE WE JUST TRY TO BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER, ALL OF O OUT TO SOUTHWEST CAMPUS, AND IT'S TO BRING AWARENESS OF WHAT? CELEBRATE RECOVERY AND THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WE HAVE. SO WE HAVE A CONCERT, BUT WE HAVE THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SET UP EXHIBIT TABLES SO THAT IF PEOPLE ARE COMING IN, THEY CAN GET INFORMATION FROM EXODUS FAMILIES MINISTRIES OR THE PRISONERS HOPE OR SOME OF THE RECOVERY PROGRAMS THERE. WE JUST WANT TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT YOU. DO HAVE OPTIONS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE IN THIS LIFE OF HOMELESSNESS, HOPELESS ATTITUDE. SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET OUT THERE AND SPREAD THE WORD AND JUST WORKING TOGETHER AND APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND ADDRESS YOU ALL, JUST TO SEE THE PARTNERSHIP. WE'VE ASSISTED WITH YOU OVER SOME OF THE NHF GRANTS AND JUST WHAT WE CAN DO TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AND GIVE THOSE PEOPLE HOPE IN THEIR LIVES. BUT I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE. ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU'RE DOING GREAT. I MEAN, SO MANY DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE. THAT MEANS A LOT. WELL, WE ENJOY DOING IT BECAUSE I THINK ALL OF US THAT I CAN SAY HERE, WE'VE ALL HAD THAT SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE GRATEFUL TO A GOD THAT DON'T JUDGE US, HOW WE STARTED OUR LIFE AND HOW WE FINISHED OUR LIFE. AND WE WANT TO PASS THAT ON TO OTHERS AS WELL. HEY, PHIL'S GOING TO COME UP AND JUST SHARE WITH YOU THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS, AND HE'S GOING TO WRAP IT UP HERE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN. CAN WE GET THAT PROJECTED UP THERE BY CHANCE? THE POWERPOINT SLIDES. IT'S JUST I WAS OVER HERE. IT WAS. THIS IS A VISUAL PRESENTATION. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROJECT IT. AND WE DO HAVE HARD COPIES. IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A HARD COPY TOO. SO MY NAME IS PHIL ROSELLE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M A VOLUNTEER WITH CELEBRATE RECOVERY FAIRDALE. AND SECONDLY, I'M ON THE BOARD, TOO, THEY ASKED ME YOU KNOW, TO COME CLOSE THIS THING, PRESENT A FEW FEW SLIDES.

AND SO I'D LIKE TO DO THAT. AND IT'S ABOUT THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS, THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE FULL LIST OF PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE. BUT OUT OF THESE. WHY? WHY? I'M LISTING THESE GUYS RIGHT HERE IS BECAUSE WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT, COMING TO THE COUNCILS AND THE COMMITTEES.

AND SO THIS IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S A LIMITED LIST. BUT WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT ON THIS LIST IS THIS PROBABLY REPRESENTS 40 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AMONGST ALL OF THEM, WHEN YOU ADD IT UP. SO WHY DO I POINT THAT OUT? BECAUSE WE'RE LEGITIMATE. THEY'RE LEGITIMATE. WE'RE NOT A KOOL AID STAND THAT JUST OPENED UP IN THE SUMMERTIME WHEN IT WAS HOT, RIGHT? WE'VE BEEN AROUND AND THEY'VE SERVED. THEY HAVE THE HEART AND THE COMPASSION TO HELP PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S TURNED INTO LEGITIMATE ACTION ON THEIR PARTS, TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF LOUISVILLE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE IS A VISUAL. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A MATHEMATICAL EQUATION WITH WITH VISUAL REPRESENTATION. SO IF YOU LOOK OVER IN THE LEFT HAND SIDE, IT'S JUST A PIE CHART. AND BASICALLY IT'S JUST SAYING PARTNERSHIPS ARE BETTER. AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR LETTING US COME BECAUSE WHEN YOU DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP, THEN THAT TURNS INTO A SOLID PARTNERSHIP. AND THE BOTTOM LINE ON THAT LITTLE PIE CHART IS WE NEED YOU AND YOU NEED US BECAUSE WE'RE STRONGER TOGETHER. WE HAVE RESOURCES, WE PROVIDE SERVICES.

WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS, WE HAVE FACILITIES. AND MOST OF THAT STUFF, NOT ALL OF IT, BUT A LOT OF IT IS FREE. BUT WE DO HAVE LIMITED FUNDING. AND OUR WHOLE POINT IS THAT WE HAVE SHARED GOALS AND VISIONS. WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THE SAME SOCIAL ISSUES THAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS. AND WHY ARE WE DOING THAT? SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A BETTER, SAFER COMMUNITY. NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER VISUAL REPRESENTATION, BRINGING BRIDGING THE GAP, HELP US TO HELP YOU, THE BRIDGE REPRESENTS THE LOGISTIC PILLARS OR SECTIONS THAT IT TAKES TO GET OUR MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. RIGHT. SO WE HAVE THESE SOCIAL ISSUES ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE TRYING TO GET TO A BETTER COMMUNITY, WE HAVE VISION. WE HAVE MOTIVATION, WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS. WE HAVE RESOURCES, WE HAVE FACILITIES, BUT WE ALWAYS ARE BOUNDED BY OUR BUDGETS. HOW MUCH CAN WE AFFORD TO DO? AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE WEAKEST POINT RIGHT HERE IN THE BRIDGE. AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO DO IS HOPE THAT YOU'D BE GRACIOUS

[00:45:01]

ENOUGH TO GRANT US ADDITIONAL FUNDING WHEN WE ASK FOR IT. THAT HELPS STRENGTHEN THE BRIDGE. AND WHAT I'M TRYING TO POINT OUT HERE IS TWO THINGS WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THINGS LOGISTICALLY COMPLICATED FOR YOU GUYS. WE HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS FIGURED OUT. SO WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE. WE JUST NEED MORE GAS FOR THE GAS TANK. RIGHT. AND THIS IS A GREAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR THE COUNCIL. IT'S AN EASY BUTTON. OUR NARRATIVES FIT YOUR ALL'S NARRATIVES. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. SO THESE LAST TWO SLIDES ARE BASICALLY A MIRROR IMAGE OF EACH OTHER WITH A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE. AND THEY GO TOGETHER. SO IT'S JUST SHOWING YOU VISUALLY THAT WE'RE MORE EFFECTIVE TOGETHER. THERE'S TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT THIS SLIDE. EVERYBODY'S SEEN THE PEBBLE IN THE POND. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU THROW THE ROCK IN THE POND YOU GET THE RIPPLE EFFECT.

ALSO YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AS A WHITE HOUSE WITH LIGHT WAVES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. THIS IS WHAT WE LOOK LIKE WITH LIMITED FUNDING, RIGHT? WE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THEN THIS LAST SLIDE WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WE CAN CERTAINLY MAKE A GREATER IMPACT. BIGGER RIPPLES ON THESE SOCIAL ISSUES THAT'S PLAGUING THE COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY IS ULTIMATELY TO MAKE BIGGER RIPPLES AND ALSO TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES SO THAT WE COULD START A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU GUYS. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT A FLY BY NIGHT OUTFIT. NONE OF THEM ARE THAT JUST SHOWED UP IN LOUISVILLE LOOKING FOR HANDOUTS. WE'VE BEEN HERE, WE'RE WORKING HARD AND WE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU GUYS DO. SO THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILWOMAN? YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYBODY PRESENTING TODAY. YOU KEEP REFERRING TO YOURSELVES AS A WE. ARE YOU ALL GOING TO BE PART OF AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD BE GRANTING FUNDING TO OR ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE INDIVIDUALLY? I BELIEVE MOST PEOPLE USUALLY APPLY FOR GRANTS AS AN INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATION, NOT AS A GROUP. I BELIEVE THIS STARTED INFORMALLY AND NEVER REALLY TOOK OFF AS AN INTENT TO BE A RESOURCE GROUP. IT JUST NATURALLY FELL INTO US. LIKE LARRY SAID. AND THEN WE STARTED MEETING ON A REGULAR BASIS. AND SO WE JUST ADOPTED A NAME, BUT THERE'S NO CHARTER. THERE'S NO, YOU KNOW, 500 AND 13C, WITH RESOURCE PARTNERS OR ANYTHING. IT'S JUST REALLY MORE INFORMAL.

SO MOST OF THE GRANT REQUESTS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ARE GOING TO BE INDIVIDUAL ONES. OKAY. SO WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE GROUP THEN. INFORMALLY WE CALL IT THE RESOURCE RECOVERY NETWORK OKAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE. ANYONE ANY MORE QUESTIONS. NONE. OKAY. WE JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING. WE APPRECIATE HOW MUCH INFORMATION YOU'VE SHARED WITH US. I, FOR ONE, HAVE LEARNED A LOT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW ALL OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS. WHAT'S GOING ON OUT? THIS IS FAIRLY LONELY, RIGHT? OKAY. FAIRDALE ONLY KNOW WE SERVE AS WE MAY BE LOCATED. THE CHURCH IN FAIRDALE, BUT WE SERVICE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE IN LOUISVILLE, LIKE JUST GOING TO THE HEALING PLACE DOWNTOWN TO PICK UP PEOPLE EVERY WEEK. THEY'RE PROBABLY. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, OUR BIGGEST CLIENTELE ON FRIDAY NIGHT. RIGHT. OKAY. WELL, YOU'RE DOING A BEAUTIFUL JOB, AND WE APPRECIATE SAID DARRELL NAME ARE LOCATED OUT IN THE EAST END.

SHANE AND THEM ARE OUT IN THE OLD AREA. WE GOT SOME CLIENTS AND PARTNERS WITH US, SOUTHERN INDIANA AND WE HELP, BUT IT'S JUST NOT LIMITED. IT STARTED OUT AS JUST THE SOUTH END WITH SOME OF THE CONNECTIONS WE HAD, BUT IT IS BRANCHED OUT SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THAT PARTICULAR TIME AND ALWAYS LOOKING TO EXPAND THAT EFFORT TO ANYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY. LIKE I SAID, WITH SHANE AND THEM ON KANE ROAD AREA, VALLEY STATION, NOW WE'RE HITTING THAT WITH THE ISAIAH HOUSE AS A 100 BED FACILITY OUT THERE, AND THEN THEY HAVE A TRANSITIONAL HOUSE THAT KEEP THEM IN IN A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT. AFTER THEY GO THROUGH THE RECOVERY PROGRAM.

WE'VE BEEN REACHED OUT TO SPRINGFIELD, KENTUCKY. THEY HAVE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH OUR ADDICTION RECOVERY CARE, CENTER. THEY HAD THOSE SAINT CATHERINE COLLEGE OUT THERE. THEY HAVE A RECOVERY PROGRAM OF OVER 500 MEN OUT THERE. AND THEIR PARTICULAR RECOVERY PROGRAM. WE GO OUT THERE ONCE A MONTH TO FACILITATE THEIR MEETINGS, AND THEY COME INTO OUR WEEKLY FRIDAY NIGHT MEETINGS. SO WE'RE NOT LIMITED TO ANYBODY LOOKING AT ANYBODY.

WE CAN HELP. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO MUCH. LIKE I SAID, WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO AND LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED US TO HELP AS WELL. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME. VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY IF WE HAVE NO MORE SPEAKERS, WE HAVE ONE PIECE OF LEGISLATION. AND MISS
