September 21, 1995 10 bangSEP g 21995 �" Penobscot County Commissioners 97 Rumored Street i9Y Ranger, Maine 04401�- Dear County Commissioners, I an writing to formally request that Shaw House be included in this year's Penobscot County budget. Shaw House is the low barrier emergency shelter for children in eastern and northern Maine. We are licensed for 16 beds by the Department of Human Services. We have been open 24 hours per day since April 1, 1994. 1 have enclosed a copy of the geographic distribution of questa based on our statistics from 1994. As you can see 89.868 of the 414 children we served in 1994 were residents of Penobscot County. 67.158 of the children weserved were from Bangor, and 22.718 were from elsewhere within Penobscot County. I have also enclosed statistics on the use of Shaw House from January 1, 1994 through August 31, 1995. Last year we provided 3193 bednighta to non -DHS children between the ages of 30 and 17 (bednighta = the number of children who check in at the shelter pernight). Between January 1 and August 31, 1995, we have provided 1820 non -DHS bednights to children in need of shelter. our average bednight cost at Shaw House last year was $74.95, so far this year, our average bednight cost is $122.98. This increase is due to several factors, including the increased need we have for additional staffing to maintain a safe environment for the high need and mentally ill children that we serve. We would like to request an appropriation of $2500.00 from Penobscot County to supplement, at $10.00 per bednight, 250 of the bednighta we provide to children of Penobscot County. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 941-2874. Sincerely, mhela H affecDMtorrtivrt enclosures UnUmdNray i So &Iwwo, seem.
