transgender. so they are a part of that program. so let s move on to highlight women that are in our permanent supportive housing program. and we have 118 women in our permanent supportive housing, 33 are in what we call the care not cash program. and 89 in the care not cash programs. and two, women are the veron and the mary elizabeth inn, which is also the entity that manages both of those properties. they are called the mayor elizabeth inn. and our services provided in the permanent supportive housing is intake and assessment, out reach and engagement and food pant triin some of our buildings and definitely medation and housing and conflict resolution. and so i want to end my presentation this morning, and tell you about a very exciting program that hsa was able to win one of five awards across the nation. and it is called families moving forward. and it was a national competitive prokurment through the department of health and human services. we were awarded a $4.3 millio
proceeds we re recommending to have a reserve of 1 hundred and 80 million and on the new location that s not been identified pending the new location to the board of supervisors for approval. our recommended reductions total money in 2015- 2016 and of that amount the ongoing savings will law allow an increase of 4 point go 89 percent in the 2015- 2016 budget thankful concur with the recommendations and the details supervisors are on pages 31 and 32 and we ll be happy to respond to questions colleagues, any questions for mr. rose at this time. okay once again to the library staff thank you. and that s one i want to ask for a recommendation after public comment today. okay. we re on the airport mr. martin thank you for being here thank you supervisors. first most importantly we re in agreement with mr. roses recommendation and pleased to have reached an agreement just a quick overview to the presentation a few weeks ago our air traffic is strong we saw 7 percent domesti
have been housed, report to us that they have had children that very few have retained custody of the children and many both and they have lost any contact. and again, this is another indicator of mental illness and substance abuse around women that they don t have a connection and in fact, a lot of times don t know where their families are. terms in gender and these are the department of public health numbers from the coordinated case management system. the women that we serve is about 23 percent of women and these are homeless women, women at risk and former homeless women, and also, women in supportive housing and they are all included in this data base. and 23 percent of the women, less than 1 percent transgender women, and 72 percent, of the people we serve are men. and the average age in general is 45.4, you can see that it is lower for women and for transgender women it is more around 40 years old. and then, in terms of homelessness, kind of as a generalized statement,
shelter to house the two populations together because they move from church to church. this pilot program has been awarded to the providence foundation, and it is going to be held in the western addition at the bethel ame church. and at one point, it was the family winter shelter and we changed locations about two years ago. so, we are going to pilot this program with 30 mats for women only, it will begin the sunday before thanksgiving and it will end the last calendar day in the month of february. so some of the services that are provided are universal services in our shelters that are provided for women, who access our shelters. and what i would like to highlight that i highlighted when we talked about shelters is that we do have a public health nurse, who is assigned to both the single adult shelter and the family shelters who can intervene when clients have a higher aquuty that requires more medical attention and that is kate shooten from the department of public health.
