Shiloh House promotes quality of life for some of the most vulnerable youth in Northern Colorado by providing evidence based, high fidelity, trauma-informed wraparound services (an EBP) including safe housing, therapies, education, and family support services.  Shiloh House respectfully requests program support for the Beyond the Walls programs, which are organized under three categories. (1) Independent Living Coaching: Providing coaching for youth ages 14–26, who are transitioning from foster care, treatment facilities, incarceration, at risk of or currently homeless.  These youth often need support in navigating and developing self-directed goals.  Our IL coach surrounds them with caring adult mentors who provide guidance, resources, and education to help them thrive. (2) Evening Reporting: An alternative to secure detention for pre-adjudicated and adjudicated adolescents in middle school and high school. IL coaches provide after-school programing that offers a passage away from detention, further court involvement, and out-of-home placement.  This highly tailored programming addresses each youth’s individual needs and strengths. (3) Youth and Family support and stabilization: Linked to Youth & Family Connections wraparound (EBP) our partnership will expand holistic wraparound services to help stabilize families using a Shiloh’s life coach to deliver family coaching, parent support, tutoring, and mentoring focused on improving parent capacity, academic achievement, preventing truancy, emancipation and independent living skills training, and increasing social and emotional functioning at home and school. Each of these linked components addresses significant needs and changes in the life trajectory for the youth and in many cases, the whole family. This request will support the implantation of the full Beyond the Wall program in Weld County and allow us to increase from 25 youth to 50 youth.

16-year-old Cindy was disconnected from her family and homeless. Shiloh assigned a coach to her and within 24 hours we were able to find her a safe home to stay. Staff connected with her family to determine if it would be possible for her to return home. And, while she wasn't able to, she was able to rebuild a positive relationship with her family. Cindy was also able to go back to school and complete her secondary education.
