• Financial record keeping will be done in conformance with the recommendations of the
MDOC/Local Government Services Bureau as described in the appropriate chapter of the
HOME Administrative Manual. The original financial documents (claims with attached
supporting material) will be retained in the City officers.
Long Term Monitoring
The City of Kalispell will be responsible for the long term monitoring of the project for
compliance with HOME and Supportive Housing Program requirements. The project will be
monitored to assure compliance with all low income targeting and other HOME or Supportive
Housing Program requirements as well as proper management and maintenance of the facility.
The City, HOME, Supportive Housing Program, and Affordable Housing Program requirements
will be enforceable through alien and deed restriction agreement on the property. The City will
conduct on -site monitoring visits of the facility at least annually during a minimum twenty (20)
year retention period to assure compliance with occupancy and maintenance standards.
Program Income Plan
If program income is generated sometime in the future after debt retirement, the City of Kalispell
will ensure that such program income is redistributed into the shelter component of this project.
The intent of Phases II and III of the Samaritan House Expansion is not only to meet the needs
of the community as they relate to housing but to provide a monthly income greater than
expenses. This monthly income will then be utilized to address the need for a paid staff at some
time in the future and to allow all of Samaritan House, especially the shelter, to function as an
independent entity and no longer be dependent on month to month donations from the
community. The goal is a viable, independent, self-sustaining entity.
Upon approval of the Montana Department of Commerce, the City will maintain the following
program income records:
• Sources of program income including interest earned;
• Dates and amounts of program income deposits and disbursements;
• The activities funded with program income; and
• Evidence of compliance with Title II requirements.
Project Implementation Schedule
A 14 month project development and construction schedule is provide on pages of the grant

application. A "state of the art" critical path method schedule has been developed in consultation
with the Project Architect and the Construction Manager to assure project completion within the
14 month period, well within 18 months of the HOME and/or Supportive Housing Program
notices of funding award. In the event of unusual weather or other conditions beyond the control
of the City, the schedule could be readily adjusted to be completed within an 18 month period.

OPERATING PLAN FOR SAMARITAN HOUSE
Mission Statement
Samaritan Houses' mission is to provide shelter and the basic needs for homeless people in the Flathead
Valley, while supporting their efforts to fmd employment and housing. For this purpose we will provide
a healthy, clean environment that is drug and alcohol free. All this is to be done in a loving and kind
manner that will uphold the human dignity of each person.
Policy Manual and Shelter Rules for Residents
It is the policy of Samaritan house that its services be rendered in as personal way as possible; that
respect for the individual person and his dignity be of primary concern; that every person is considered to
be worthy and valuable as a human being regardless of his race, religion, beliefs, social status, physical
appearance or any handicap. Consequently every person should be met with concern, a presumption of
trustworthiness, and a respectful attitude by the staff.
ti
To involve all parties in the community regardless of faith, in an effort to demonstrate that people do
care, and to recognize that the unfortunate are often powerless to help themselves.
To coordinate with all other social agencies through the Continuum of Care process. It is important
when dealing with people's problems to establish positive contacts with other programs established in
the community.
To expend to our fellow man love and concern in his hour of need, so that each may know that we truly
are brothers and sisters regardless of race, color, or creed.

t
Project Beneficiaries Eligibility and Qualification Requirements
As the only emergency shelter facility serving Northwest Montana as well as providing transitional
living and permanent rental units, Samaritan House will serve homeless families and individuals
predominately in the 60% percent and below of the area median income. It is expected, based on the past
experience of operating the existing shelter, that shelter participants will generally have either no income
or incomes generally below 30% of the area median. It further is anticipated that residents moving up
into the transitional and permanent housing units will generally have incomes in the 60% and 50% and
below of median.
The following are the specific eligibility and qualification requirements for shelter and transitional
services:
• The household has experienced a disaster such as fire, flood, threat of or actual physical violence
or similar catastrophe that has resulted in homelessness, and there is no other emergency housing
available to the household.
• There is a community disaster or catastrophe necessitating emergency shelter for households
affected by such a disaster.
• Samaritan House is the shelter facility of last resort and applicants must certify the they have no
other reasonable shelter resource.
Transitional living units will be provided first to those residents moving up out of shelter care.
Page 2 of 6
Applicants must agree to comply with the Rules for Residents while in shelter care.
• Alcohol and drug use or possession is strictly prohibited, and applicants must not be intoxicated
or under the influence of illegal drugs at the time of intake and admittance to shelter care.
Application Process
Applicants for shelter or transitional services may be self referred or referred by another agency or
organization. Applications for shelter are accepted 24 hours per day. Applicants must be pre-screened
for eligibility and qualifications through a personal interview. Prior to admittance for shelter, applicants
must certify that they are income eligible, have no other reasonable access to shelter, and that they will
abide by all shelter rules and regulations. An Initial Interview and Check In Form will be completed for
each applicant household.
Verification of Eligibility
Eligibility must be determined on the basis of a personal interview and verification of all pertinent
information. Households seeking emergency shelter or transitional living units may self -certify income
and other eligibility. However, for residents receiving more than 14 days of shelter or a transitional
living unit, verification of income, assets, and other pertinent information will be obtained whenever
possible through third written party documentation. Under the specific circumstances when all other
efforts fail, information may be verified verbally. However, such verification must be fully documented
in writing, signed by the staff person obtaining the information, and kept in the household's file.
w
Outreach and Affirmative Marketing Plan
Actions to be taken:
1 Notices and announcements of the availability of the shelter services will be placed in each local
newspaper of general circulation, on each radio station, and on each television station within the
service area. Such announcements will be made at least twice upon completion of the project.
• Presentations about the availability of shelter services and transitional living units will be made
to a variety of organizations including but not limited to county departments of social services,
managers of subsidized rental housing units, adult literacy groups, mental health centers, and
handicapped citizen groups.
• Special presentations will be made to organizations which serve developmentally disabled and
mentally handicapped citizens, single women head of households, Native Americans, Hispanics,
Asians, African Americans and any other minority groups residing in the area.
• Presentations on the availability of the project will be made in languages other than English as
the need arises.
Amounts and Types of Assistance
It is the philosophy of Samaritan House to provide more than warehousing of homeless families and
individuals. Samaritan House will provide a place to feel safe and secure, to regroup and start over if
necessary, to rebuild dignity and self esteem, and provide assistance to realize the dream of self
sufficiency and re-entering mainstream society.
Page 3 of 6
Samaritan House provides emergency shelter only when there are no reasonable and safe alternatives.
The maximum length of stay is 60 days depending on the individual needs and circumstances of each
household served. Based on the past experience of operating the shelter facility, the average length of
stay is expected to be 1.5 weeks. A daily assessment is done to determine the need for continued
emergency shelter. In order to qualify for continued shelter services, residents must shown evidence of
active and daily pursuit of employment and/or other services to meet their economic or other needs.
Illness or other temporary incapacitation will be considered when assessing the daily effort to gain the
means required to obtain transitional and/or permanent housing and meet other basic needs.
Length of stay in the transitional living units will be on an annual lease basis with a maximum occupancy
period of two years. This lease may be terminated at the discretion of Samaritan House and the tenant if
they are able to move on into permanent housing as their economic status improves.
Financial Management
The current fiscal procedures and practices of Samaritan House will be continued in the financial
management of the expanded facility. These procedures include preparation of annual financial
statements and tax forms by the Certified Public Accounting firm of Kettinger & La Voie. Daily and
monthly accounts are maintained by the Board Treasurer. Monthly financial statements are prepared and
reviewed and approved t the monthly board meetings.
As a result of the federal and city funding provided to the expansion of Samaritan House, a copy of the
annual report will be provided each year to the City of Kalispell. Program Income will be identified in
this report and a detailed description of how it was expended back into the operation of the entire project
will be provided. The City Council will approve this plan on an annual basis.
Management and Staffing
The management and staffing of Samaritan House has been provided through volunteer services since
1990, and such service will continue to be used as long as they are provided reliably, effectively, and
professionally. For example, annual financial statements and tax forms have been and will continue to
be prepared by the Certified Public Accounting firm of Kettinger & La Voie. However, Samaritan
House recognizes that it cannot rely on the facility's continued management solely by volunteers, and
has budgeted compensation for the current and any future Project Director as well as for relief staff,
maintenance, and housekeeping/cooking functions. Staffing costs will continue to be minimized by
actively involving the homeless in the upkeep, maintenance, and cleaning of the three -phased facility.
The Project Director, Sister June Kenny has over 20 years experience in developing and managing
homeless shelters. From 1974 to 1979, Sister Kenny was one of the founders and the first Director of the
Poverello Center Homeless Shelter in Missoula. From 1979 to 1989, Sister Kenny relocated to Seattle
where she continued to work in homeless shelters and in an infirmary for those requiring 24 hour nursing
care. In 1989 she returned to Montana for the express purpose of assisting the Flathead Valley
community in addressing the increasing problem of homelessness in the area. That effort led to the
establishment of Samaritan House. Sister Kenny has been its Director since its inception in 1990. Under
her direction, Samaritan House has gained local and national recognition for its exemplary management
and operations.
Because it is a working board directly involved in the management of the facility, the experience and
