D. Operational Details

i. Program 1 operates it's office Monday-Friday 9am -5 pm and now serves 20 clients. It

utilizes U of I and NU professional urban educational research as a consultantcy [to

offer their services pro bono on an as needed basis] for educational seminars, focus

groups, etc. These consultancies are welcome.

ii. A primary staff of 2 hourly workers and 2 trained volunteers give crises referral and

intervention, computer skills training and community outreach to identify give liaison to

those residents not normally accessed such as shut-ins.

iii. Active liaisons with area social service vendors are a must for referral/impact purpose.

GTCN must serve the wants of the key, external stakeholder and add value to such.

iv. Searching through outreach, door-to-door contact, and local social service agency

referrals or via word of mouth inquiry within the targeted community. This identification

process entails vigorous assessment of health condition-related joblessness,

impoverished economic status, inadequate living arrangements and food needs.

v. As well, assessment of the affected population’s educational status and possible need for

job skills training along with evaluation of psycho-social status to determine the of their

levels of need. This also allows GTCN to establish a meaningful baseline for level of

care provision and tracking of measurable outcome data for the level of impact that the

provided services has on the successful progress towards the realization of GTCN’s

mission.

vi. Both the State of Illinois, CPS and private/public health institutes like Northwestern

Hospital and U of I-Med Center actively and financially support community-based

programs that assist in their outreach missions such as the VA's Homeless Vets

Reintegration Program. Initial indicators for measurement of mission outcomes will be

decreased instance of failed access and intervention for those affected residents within

the community, successful transition of serviced vets into maintained self help programs

and their facilitation to job training or employment that impacts community information

impoverishment, neglected health education and improved access to care networks and

group facilitation advocacy. Instances of referrals to other social services can address

GTCN’s increased effectiveness required a clear strategic plan and a need for an

infrastructure. That infrastructure should be philanthropically orientated. This will be

conducive to the organization’s start-up commitment to its vision and destiny to become

a learning organization.
