PROGRAM REPORTS
EVAS PLACE
2004 marked the tenth anniversary of the opening of Evas Place. In 1994, when Evas Place first opened its doors, it offered the traditional shelter model of providing food and emergency shelter only. It has since evolved into a more interactive and holistic program that attempts to find new and innovative ways to help youth with their personal struggles. In the past four years, we have developed our client-centred approach and Individual Case Management model, which ensures youth are received into a supportive and caring environment, and directly responds to the particular issues and challenges confronting them. We have also continued our development of the groundbreaking Family Reconnect Program that ensures that, where safe and appropriate, youth and their families are provided with the supports required to assist them to resolve the familial issues, which resulted in their family breakdown. As a result of the assistance provided by this program, many youth are then able to return home to their families, or to live independently in the community with the support of extended family. Either of these outcomes significantly increases their chances of leaving the streets permanently. In 2004, The Family Reconnect Program began offering early intervention services in the community to families and youth at risk of becoming homeless, with a view to preventing family breakdown. Twenty-three youth, assisted by the programs prevention component were able to stay at home instead of entering the shelter system. Currently the Family Reconnect Program the only shelter-based program of its kind in Ontario serves 125 families each year. Evas Place continues to develop partnerships with organizations involved in working with and for troubled teens such as Parents In Transition and the TIPP Program, an alternative school program offered at Thornlea Secondary School. In 2004, we underwent the first phase of the Quality Assurance Review process implemented by the City of Toronto to ensure a high level of service provision, facility management and mandatory staff training in all shelters across Toronto. We are pleased to report that Evas Place received the highest score of all youth shelters in the City. 2004 saw a significant increase in the number of homeless youth with mental health issues coming to Evas Place for assistance. There is a profound lack of resources across the shelter system to help these youth. Evas Place continues to look for ways to combat this critical problem by developing partnerships in the Mental Health community to better serve this challenging population and improve staff resources and skills. To this end, we have been working closely with the Central Toronto Youth Services, New Outlook Program to provide assessment and referral services for our clients. 2004 was a very active year for the youth and staff at Evas Place, as one of our goals was to continue offering recreational and social opportunities on a consistent basis for our youth, as well as improve our consistency around recognizing and celebrating holidays, awareness days and events celebrating the diversity of the world in which we live. A significant increase in the number of activities in this area was possible due to a grant received by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. As a result of this grant, we were able to offer two recreational/socialization events per month, such as movie nights, Internet cafs, trips to local restaurants, bowling, and Raptors basketball, Blue Jays baseball and Argonauts football games. We were also able to offer an extremely successful canoe trip into Temagami, in which two of our staff accompanied five youth from the shelter. This trip was supported and guided by Project Canoe at no cost to the shelter. This experience was, for some youth, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

In keeping with the organizations commitment to diversity work, we made a concerted effort to acknowledge and celebrate an increasing number of cultural and diverse events, holidays and observances during the year. These included Martin Luther King Day, Black History month, Easter, Passover, Earth Day, the Gay
Pride Parade, Caribana, Canada Day, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Divali, Thanksgiving, Ramadan, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and Christmas. All of these celebrations were greatly enhanced by the generosity of the community and the incredible dedication of our staff.

EVAS PLACE 2004 STATS EVAS PLACE MIRIAMS JOURNEY
One of the growing issues that the staff at Evas Place dealt with in 2004 was an ever-increasing number of youth arriving in Canada as refugees without any family or community support. Early in 2004, we received a call from a member of the community who had met a young woman at the airport who looked lost and scared. He asked if he could bring her to the shelter. The young womans name is Miriam and she had arrived in Canada that day from Afghanistan via Pakistan. Miriam had experienced enormous tragedy in Afghanistan, including the very recent death of her father. Earlier in the year she had also learned that she was to be married to an older gentleman she did not know. A member of her family was concerned for her and arranged to have her sent to Pakistan. Once arriving in Pakistan, she was sent to Canada. Miriam arrived without identification and did not know anyone in Toronto. Almost immediately, Miriam was connected with the Community Support Worker at Evas Place. Together with the Housing Support Worker, they developed a plan that included communicating with Canadian Immigration and connecting Miriam with the local Afghan Womans Association. Staff at Place spent time accessing legal supports and immigration support for Miriam. It was a long and arduous process, but eventually Miriam was granted refugee status. Once Miriam received her refugee status, staff were able to bring together several community supports in order to successfully move Miriam out of the shelter system. They also helped her find an apartment in Scarborough and connected Miriam with social assistance. They supported Miriam with enrolling in ESL courses and helped maintain her connection with the Afghan Womens Association. Currently, Miriam is still residing in the same apartment and continues to live independently; she is enrolled in school and is working two separate jobs in the restaurant industry. It has been a long and difficult road at times, but Miriam is committed to making her life in Canada successful. The ongoing support provided by the Housing and Community Support Workers and the Front Line staff at Evas Place has allowed Miriam to use her strength and determination to understand and work within the system, and to move towards a stable and safe life in Canada. Miriam has since received her landed immigrant status and continues her journey towards citizenship in her adopted country of Canada.

EVAS SATELLITE
2004 was another year of change and challenges for Evas Satellite. It was a year in which we experienced considerable delays in the construction of our new facility and as a result, we were forced to continue operations out of a very physically inadequate building. Despite the challenges and shortcomings of functioning from such a facility, we worked diligently to meet the needs of clients while exploring ways to improve current programs and services. We also continued to build and maintain relationships in the community and with other service providers in the city of Toronto. 2004 saw an increase in the number of homeless youth at Evas Satellite who have concurrent disorders. These are youth in crisis who are affected by mental health and substance abuse issues and consequently cannot meet the expectations of more mainstream youth shelters. Evas Place continues to develop partnerships in the Mental Health community to better serve this challenging population and improve staff resources and skills. In 2004, we increased our daytime programming to accommodate the need to keep youth busy with healthy and positive activities. We obtained a number of passes to the YMCA so clients can workout or go swimming. Once a week, staff prepared a special breakfast at a nearby community centre for the "Breakfast Club". After breakfast, youth participated in a workshop on healthy relationships and healthy sexuality. We hosted weekly festive barbecues in our back yard during the warmer months and we operated a lunchtime drop-in program out of the North York Public Library on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. During these outings and programs, staff were able to speak with youth about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and exploring options to minimize the harm in their lives. Evas Satellite continues to be the only youth shelter in Canada operating from a Harm Reduction perspective, with a pragmatic approach to addressing the health, social and economic harms caused to individuals and communities by substance use. In 2004, Evas Satellite continued to develop and implement Harm Reduction practices and strategies appropriate for the youth it serves. Programs included individual counselling and support, group work and educational workshops on alcohol and drug use, safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention, healthy relationships and family dynamics. This approach provides a more complex and comprehensive plan to minimize the harms often associated with drug and alcohol use, while focusing on health promotion and addressing the individual needs of our clients. In partnership with Shout Clinic, Turning Point and Dianova, Evas Satellite organised a therapeutic, abstinence-based retreat for youth who use substances. Secluded in the wilderness of Quebec for five days, clients participated in group-counselling sessions as well as having the opportunity for reflection in a safe and restful environment. Youth who participated found the trip to be an incredibly powerful and positive experience. Evas Satellite places a high value on community participation and community safety, and continues to do proactive work with an ever-increasing number of community partners. As a result of the development of a new (pilot) Protocol between Evas Satellite and 32 Division of Toronto Police Services, certain information is now able to be shared between Police and Evas Satellite. In 2004, a significant amount of effort was spent on implementing the first phase of the City of Torontos Quality Assurance Review process to ensure a high level of service provision, facility management and mandatory staff training. In preparation for our move into a new purpose-built facility, Evas Satellite also finalized the blueprint for an innovative service delivery model and philosophy that effectively responds to the realities and issues faced by homeless and substance-using youth in todays society. New partnerships were formed with the Toronto North Support Services, Evergreen, Shout Clinic and The Works, which will help us in our quest to successfully work with this hard-to-serve population.

At the close of 2004, we prepared for an Ontario Municipal Board, (OMB) hearing which we are confident will resolve the outstanding issues pertaining to the construction of our new facility. We have great hopes and ambitions for the upcoming year as we continue to further advance our programs and services and break ground for construction of the new facility. We are grateful for the
leadership and vision demonstrated by the North York Rotary Club in their commitment to the youth who come to Evas Satellite. The group has contributed significant financial support to facilitate the creation of an in-house recreation and wellness area for residents of Evas Satellite.

PROGRAM REPORTS
EVAS PHOENIX
In 2004, 248 youth were served through the Evas Phoenix programs, including 143 individuals, aged 16-24, who resided here at some point during the year. The average age of residents was 20 years old. Of those who moved out in 2004, more than half moved into their own housing or back with their families. Our co-case management model made some significant strides in 2004, as we fine-tuned our reporting mechanisms, meeting schedules and decision-making processes. Again, this is very exciting as Phoenix is pioneering a new model of case management. Despite contrary opinions from other professionals on the efficacy of this model, in true Phoenix style we persevered because of our commitment to and belief that this model of service delivery would best meet the needs of the youth we serve. We now have very successful co-case management meetings that bring together the coordinated expertise of our staff to the full benefit of the youth involved in our programs. The Evas Phoenix database implementation program took a progressive leap in 2004. All staff were trained to use the system, which has proven to be valuable for tracking client information. The Quality Assurance Review Process was on everyones mind throughout the year and many staff hours went into completing the Site Operations Manual, which formalizes all the policies and procedures that we have been using over the past few years. Other highlights in 2004 include the development of the Health and Safety Manual, scoring 95% in the Boardinitiated Human Resources audit and contributing as a stakeholder to the development of the City of Toronto Shelter Management Information System. The results of the formal evaluation of the Phoenix program, entitled "Evas Phoenix: Pathways to Housing and Jobs", was released in a comprehensive report by Tom Zizys and Mitchell Kosny with support from a staff and youth Advisory Committee. The report confirmed that the Phoenix program was effective in helping youth along the path towards self-sufficiency and was a model that could be replicated in other communities. The report will become an important part of the National Initiative Program and is guiding the direction that programs take at Evas Phoenix. Despite the loss of the manager of the Mentorship Program in July due to lack of funding, the program persevered and was a support to the youth in the housing and employment programs at Evas Phoenix. In the One-to-One Mentorship program, 20 mentors were recruited from the community and matched to youth participants. As well, all the program materials, including training curriculum, application forms and a brochure, were developed and distributed to agencies as part of the pilot project. In addition, youth Peer Mentors contributed 775 hours of leadership support through various activities to residents of Evas Phoenix. Throughout 2004, the Employment Program at Phoenix, sponsored by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, continued to grow and develop. Of the 104 youth who were served in the program, 56% were employed, in school or a training program at the close of their participation. The employment program involves three weeks of life skills instruction, employment counselling, mental health and mentorship support, and 20weeks of paid employment in the industry the youth want to pursue as a career. Some of the many career options youth choose to pursue include construction, computer networking, auto mechanics, cooking/baking, childcare, film production, and office administration. Job developers support the youth while in the work experience and they help to secure permanent employment with the company at the end of the placement. After joining the Youth Employment Program at Evas Phoenix, I was taught through the Life Skills Program the skills necessary to get and keep a job. Within one month of graduating from Life Skills, I was able to gain a placement at the Law Society of Upper Canada. I am now off of Social Assistance as a result of the Evas Employment Program.

In 2004, the on-site Phoenix Print Shop (PPS), a social enterprise offering on-the-job training in a small commercial print shop, stayed on track to reach its 2006 social objectives. PPS offers a blended value proposition, which is social and economic in scope. In 2004, the program achieved or surpassed all of its social objectives. We had 13 participants, 10 graduates, 10 career-oriented connections and 7 direct connections with the graphic communication industry. Financially, PPSs goal is to be 100% business cost self-sufficient by the end of 2006. In 2004, the business cost sufficiency target was 40% and PPS successfully managed to exceed this by 21%. These achievements were advanced by a shop expansion funded by Scotia Capital Global Trading. This included the installation of up-to-date computer hardware and software, new finishing equipment and a donation by Heidelberg Canada of the use of a fully modernized printing press. The Print Shop Advisory Board provided ongoing commitment and professional support. In addition, ongoing support from the United Ways Toronto
Enterprise Fund, the RBC Foundation and a host of individual donors, has supported enterprise consolidation, as well as highquality instruction. In 2004, the Print Shop awarded three scholarships for career development, including tuition support for graphic arts programs at Ryerson University and Seneca College. A graduate who now works with Xerox received an industry award for student achievement. The Print Shop operations team has done a tremendous job, and looks forward to the challenges of 2005. An update on our programs is incomplete without a big "Thank You" to the many people who are integral to our success. Our staff team at Evas Phoenix deserves the greatest round of applause for their commitment and dedication to the youth. Thanks also to the many individual and community groups who supported our efforts by hosting special events or performing "fix up" duties without charge. We look forward to our continued partnerships in the year ahead.

RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Working with the community to build support for Evas Initiatives through fundraising and awareness building is vital to maintaining the programs and services of our three shelters. 2004 was a very difficult year in terms of fundraising and we did not succeed in reaching our financial targets. In the fall of 2004, the Board of Directors called for a restructuring of our Development Department in order to more effectively meet our fundraising goals in 2005. A comprehensive plan was approved to realign our strategy in order to make our fundraising methods more efficient and productive. The Resource Development Committee, made up primarily of Board members, will provide additional support with an enhanced fundraising mandate in 2005. The efficacy of this model will be assessed in 2005 and further modified as necessary to ensure we are reaching our goals. We thank everyone who attended our two signature events this year, held their own fundraisers, sponsored an event, or made a financial or gift-in-kind donation, thereby helping us to provide programs and services to over 2300 youth in 2004. Our funding partners provide youth with the essential resources they need to reach their goals, along with an incredible network of hundreds of volunteers, community supporters, corporations, labour organizations, faith groups, community groups, foundations and individuals, which helps to motivate the youth to succeed.
The 2004 Committee members have all worked intensely to push the diversity work plan forward.

VOLUNTEER RESOURCES
As a non-profit charitable organization, Evas Initiatives greatly values the support of volunteers who contribute their time and energy to its programs and services. Our clients and society as a whole benefit from the activities of volunteers and volunteers themselves benefit from their involvement. According to the 2000 National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, more than three quarters (79%) of volunteers said that their volunteer activities helped them with their interpersonal skills, such as understanding people better, motivating others, and dealing with difficult situations. In 2004, 282 volunteers generously donated 6,932 hours of their time and shared their diverse range of skills to help with special events, office administration, program support, shelter beautification projects, fundraising and many other tasks at our three shelters and head office. I cannot believe that someone so successful took the time out to teach us. I think its amazing. Thats what you call a real hero. Youth Participant, Photography Mentorship Program Employer-supported volunteerism has continued to grow across Canada, increasing morale and demonstrating corporate social responsibility that has a local impact. In 2004, our friends at Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Canadian Tire, United Jewish Appeal and many more organizations assisted in holiday celebrations, beautification projects, Raptors games and fundraising activities. We wish to thank all of our volunteers for their continued support. Their enthusiasm and selfless dedication is truly an inspiration to the staff and clients of Evas Initiatives.
