EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has received a request for funding in the amount of $45,000 for the operation of the Sister Mary Alice Murphy
Center of Hope, from January to July, 2013 (six months). Other funding partners include United Way ($58,000),
Bohemian Foundation ($45,000) and Serve 6.8 ($35,000). The Murphy Center, located at 242 Conifer Street, is the
one-stop center in Fort Collins for homeless and near homeless persons. The operation of the Center is an important
component in the community’s network of housing and complimentary services so that homelessness is rare, short-
lived and non-recurring in Fort Collins.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center of Hope (“Murphy Center”)
The Murphy Center, located at 242 Conifer Street, is the one-stop center in Fort Collins for homeless and near
homeless persons; approximately 23 agencies provide services at the Center; the Center also provides showers,
breakfast, phones/computers, washers/dryers, clothing, day shelter services, and more. Services available at the
Center include employment resources, housing assistance, financial counseling, transportation assistance, mental
health and substance abuse counseling, and more. Many believe that the Center is one of the most innovative facilities
in the nation for serving the homeless and near homeless. The Murphy Center is currently owned by the United Way
of Larimer County (UW) and operated by Touchstone Health Partners of Fort Collins.
During the past four years, the Murphy Center has been a major player in the local homeless service delivery system
and will play an even more critical role as the region moves toward a new and improved housing model. Notable
achievements of the Center include:
• Total number of visits: 110,782.
• Now averaging 156 visitors per day, up from 80 at the end of the 1st year.
• Now have 23 different agencies that provide services out of the Center.
• Total number of showers taken: 12,841.
• Total number of loads of laundry done: 4,649.
• Total number of unduplicated people provided services by a Resource Specialist: 10,148.
• 37% of the people served are part of a family with children.
• In 2012, 77% of the people that meet with a Resource Specialist report being literally homeless, a 57%
increase from 2011.
• Received mail through the center: more than 800 people.
• Utilized lockers at the center: more than 250 people.
• Provided voicemail boxes: more than 150 people.
• 429 people have been assisted in getting Food Stamps.
• 106 people have been assisted in getting Aid to the Needy.
• 253 people have been assisted in getting Medicaid.
• 879 people have received mental health and/or substance abuse services.
• 1,312 households have received emergency rent assistance.
• 2,507 households have received utility assistance.
The approximate $2.5M cost of construction of the Center was funded through a collaboration of private foundations,
June 11, 2013 -2- ITEM 3
private resources, and the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland. Since 2004, the City has contributed approximately
$90,000 in CDBG and General Fund dollars to build the facility, and as such has a legal and financial interest. In
addition, the City has funded several of the agencies that occupy the Center. As equity partners on the land (along with
the City of Loveland), City staff has met with United Way and Serve 6.8 officials. Our goal, moving forward, is a
smooth transition on executing new legal documents, and ensuring that parameters for property use tied to federal
funding are clear. One of these parameters includes federal limitations on inherently religious activities such as
worship, religions instruction, or proselytization. We are also interested in being sure that the Murphy Center has a
critical role to play in the future in the “Continuum of Care” for the homeless and near homeless.
Ownership and Operations of the Center
The Murphy Center opened in March, 2009. At that time, the United Way (UW) committed to owning/funding/operating
the Center for one year, hoping to find someone who would take over operations of the Center from United Way in
year two. Funding was secure for the first three years of operation, until March 2012; the Center was originally
intended to be transferred debt free. The original plan was for Touchstone Health Partners to take over the facility,
and over several years, plans for the transition were discussed. Last March 2012, those plans started to fall apart
when Touchstone announced it was no longer interested in taking over the Center. Subsequently, United Way had
to search for a new owner/operator. UW had serious but unsuccessful discussions with several potential agencies
about taking over the facility, including but not limited to, Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army. UW was also left
with the challenge of more than $180,000 in additional expenses to continue operations of the facility. United Way
had to use general reserves not intended for this purpose while it searched for a new partner. United Way also
seriously considered closing or curtailing services at the Center when reserve funding ran out in December 2012.
Instead, United Way chose to keep the Center operating and sought community partners to cover the $180,000 in
extra costs.
Last November, a small group of interested stakeholders met to discuss the future of the Murphy Center. The group
consisted of Gordan Thibedeau (United Way), Randy Ratliff (CEO Touchstone Health Partners), Cheryl Zimlich
(Bohemian Foundation), Alison Hade, City of Loveland (Community Partnership Department), Julie Brewen (FCHA),
Bryce Hach (Homeward 2020), and Joe Frank (Social Sustainability Department). Last January, the group met with
Mark Orphan, Pastor of the Timberline Church Missions and Outreach program, and Mike Walker, Timberline Church
Local Outreach Director, about potentially taking ownership and operation of the Center.
Serve 6.8 is the “community service” arm of the Timberline Church. “Serve 6.8” is in reference to two passages in the
bible (Micah and Isaiah). Serve 6.8's stated mission is “people serving our community to demonstrate God’s love in
tangible ways to people in Northern Colorado with no strings attached.” Serve 6.8 has said “We partner with many
local organizations to promote their mission, provide volunteers, and offer assistance.” Serve 6.8 has been involved
in a variety of “ministries” and partnerships in the community, some involving the homeless. Serve 6.8 was heavily
involved in the High Park Fire recovery efforts. Serve 6.8 now has 501(c)3 status, and is a separate entity from the
Timberline Church.
Serve 6.8 submitted a letter of intent to assume ownership and operation of the Murphy Center, and most appear to
be comfortable with them. United Way is satisfied that it has the resources and mission to take over and successfully
operate the facility. Mark Orphan and Mike Walker will be the primary managers of the Murphy Center. They indicated
that the Center will continue to deliver current services and will keep the current professional staff. Serve 6.8 will also
be using volunteers. At this time, Serve 6.8 is doing its due diligence, developing a business plan, completing
necessary agreements, talking with the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland, etc. Serve 6.8 has said that they have
recently embarked on a fund raising campaign for the Murphy Center, with a goal of $5 million; having already raised
about $750,000. The goal is to complete the ownership/operation transition on/around July 1, 2013.
The United Way and Serve 6.8 has been very transparent in the transition process, including involving key
stakeholders early on, working with existing Murphy Center staff, presenting to the North Fort Collins Business
Association, informing Murphy Center customers, working with staff from the cities of Loveland and Fort Collins,
informing Murphy Center funders, informing Timberline Church members, and providing interviews and information
to the local press. UW/Serve 6.8 intends to do additional outreach when the transfer of ownership/operation finally
occurs, and Serve 6.8 has indicated that they plan to hold a formal “opening” event later this year, possibly as part of
National Homeless Month.

Murphy Center transition is attached (Attachment 1)
.
Funding Request
The United Way is seeking funding partners to continue the operation of the facility. The Center’s monthly operating
cost is about $38,600; approximately 85% of that is personnel and 15% is operations. United Way has a federal grant
that covers about $8,100 per month; the net monthly cost is approximately $30,500. Six months of operations costs
approximately $183,000. United Way’s proposal is that it provides $58,000, the Bohemian Foundation and the City
each provide $45,000 and Serve 6.8 provides $35,000, for the operation of the Murphy Center from January to July,
2013 (6 months). The City of Loveland was approached to participate in funding but declined; less than 10% of the
Murphy Center visitors are from Loveland, and because the participation is so low, it declined to participate in the one-
time funding of operations.
According to Gordan Thibedeau, Executive Director of the United Way:
“There are two reasons that we are seeking continuation funds to support the operation of the
Murphy Center. First, it was our intent to transfer ownership no later than December 31, 2012, which
did not happen. Second, we have been unable to secure additional grant funding to support the
operation primarily because we play a “pass through” role. We were able to overcome this concern
for the first 4 years of funding but foundations have become increasingly interested in having the
funds go directly to the service provider.”
Funding Alternatives
During the May 28 Work Session, Council specifically asked staff to consider making the funds available to a different
agency (not United Way) that could potentially benefit from leveraging the City funds. There are four alternatives that
the City Council could consider to fund the operations of the Murphy Center:
A. “United Way” Option - Approve the original funding request to United Way in the amount of $45,000, for
operating expenses incurred between January 1 and June 31, 2013. The funds would go directly to United
Way for additional expenses they incurred to continue the operation of the facility.
B. “Touchstone” Option - Approve the funding request, in the amount of $45,000, with the direct recipient of the
funds being Touchstone Health Partners, for operating expenses incurred between January 1 and June 31,
2013. The funds would go directly to Touchstone Health Partners for expenses they incurred during this time
period. Touchstone is the only agency at the Murphy Center that incurs significant operating expenses.
Touchstone has said they would then reimburse United Way.
C. “Serve 6.8” Option - Approve the funding request, in the amount of $45,000, with the direct recipient being
Serve 6.8 for future operating expenses. Serve 6.8 has not incurred any direct operating costs of the facility.
So, if it is the recipient of the funds, the funds would be used to cover future operating costs (after July 1,
2013). The reasoning behind this is different from the other options; funding future operations (saving Serve
6.8 and/or United Way from having to do it) rather than reimbursing UW for past expenses. Since this option
would no longer be framed as a sort of “emergency”, it also raises a question of why Serve 6.8 should not just
apply for the funds through the City’s Competitive Process like other social service agencies.
D. “Do nothing” option – No City funding.
According to agency representatives, the “benefit” to Touchstone or Serve 6.8 in receiving the City funds, for instance,
to leverage other funds, is not significant, because the funds would already have been spent, and would not be
available to “match” other grants. The funds would show up on their balance sheet as a contribution from the City;
the City’s financial support is important to other potential funders.
June 11, 2013 -4- ITEM 3
Funding Agreement
The major terms of the “funding agreement” are as follows:
1. The City shall pay the agency selected by the Council the sum of $45,000 upon receipt of the expense report.
2. The funds will be (or must have been) used for personnel and non-personnel costs associated with the
operation of the Murphy Center.
3. The agency shall submit a detailed expense report to the City for our review and approval.
4. The process and conditions of turning the facility over to Serve 6.8 should be as transparent and inclusive as
possible to the critical stakeholders.
5. The existing functions of the Murphy Center as a one stop center and entry for homeless services must
continue; and Serve 6.8, needs to be at the table in the discussions around a new homeless service delivery
model, known as ”Continuum of Care”.
6. The City shall have a representative on the advisory/leadership board of the new Murphy Center.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
The City’s share will come from the City’s General Fund Reserves. Providing financial assistance to the Murphy
Center is a long term investment. Helping people out of homelessness prevents future community costs associated
with homelessness.
Typically, funding requests for human services are made thru the City’s Spring Competitive Process. The Spring
Competitive Process was not a good match for the current Murphy Center situation because the funds do not become
available until October 1, 2013. Also, the Competitive Process funds cannot pay for any cost of services, projects or
programs expended prior to October 1, 2013.
Over the years, the City has also funded from the General Fund, several social service programs and activities, outside
of the Competitive Process. For example, since 2009, the City has funded:
• Homeward 2020 (the original $100,000 was through the exceptions process) and continue to do so with a
$25,000 sponsorship each year out of the City Manager’s Office budget (and approved through BFO), for a
total of $175,000.
• The Murphy Center Capital Campaign in 2009 ($5,000), 2010 ($6,000), and 2011 ($2,000) using contingency
funding.
• The United Way Temporary Winter Homeless Shelter ($3,000 – operating costs).
• The Crossroads Safehouse, in 2010 - $3000 – appraisal report; and, in 2010 - $350,000 for renovation of
Crossroads’ new facility, from Police Capital Improvement Expansion fees.
• The Bender Mobile Home Park relocation assistance – 2012 ($50,000) – BFO.
• The City has also provided “sponsorships” through a donation and sponsorship line item in BFO through the
City Manager’s Office (CMO). For those sponsorships that were unexpected and not funded through BFO,
the CMO usually relies on Contingency or Community Opportunities funds to cover. Agencies receiving this
funding include United Way, Habitat for Humanity, Crossroads Safehouse, and the Food Bank of Larimer
County.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The funding request has no environmental impacts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Alternative B - Touchstone, because it most closely responds to the direction of Council
at its May 28 Work Session. The Murphy Center plays a critical role in the delivery of services to the homeless and
near-homeless in the community, a role that is likely to become more important as a new model (e.g., “Continuum of
Care”) evolves in the North Front Range area. United Way has carried the cost of operating the Center for the past
four years, over a year longer than originally intended. United Way has demonstrated that it needs the financial
assistance of the City and the other partners, to pay for part of the costs of six months of operations of the Center.
June 11, 2013 -5- ITEM 3
After that time, it appears very likely that Serve 6.8 will take over the ownership and operation of the Center. Serve
6.8 has said that it intends to continue the original mission and services of the Center. Serve 6.8 also appears to have
the capacity, experience and mission to continue the important services the Center now provides, and to work
collaboratively toward a new homeless model.

Murphy Center travels unexpected journey
The center is hailed as a national example of a new way to serve the homeless, and
its future is still being invented.
By Sarah Jane Kyle

June 2, 2013
Community leaders broke ground in 2008 on The Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for
Hope, now considered one of the most innovative facilities in the nation for serving
people who are homeless, with plans for a bright future.
Plans that would allow the facility to remain debt-free.
Plans that Touchstone Health Partners (formerly Larimer Center for Mental Health)
would take over operations of the center from United Way of Larimer County a year after
it opened.
Plans that community partners would stand behind the center financially in good times
and in bad.
But last year, those plans started to fall apart. Touchstone Health Partners announced in
March, a year after the nonprofit was originally scheduled to take over the property, that
they would no longer be able to take responsibility for the Murphy Center and its
programs.
A new operator will take over that responsibility July 1, six months after reserve funding
for the facility ran out. Serve 6.8, a nonprofit through Timberline Church, plans to
continue the center’s successful mission to provide a common ground for the homeless
and near-homeless with its one-stop shop approach for services.
But United Way of Larimer County is now left with the challenge of covering more than
$180,000 in additional costs until Serve 6.8 takes the reins. And Tuesday, United Way
officials faced some tough questions from City Council when it sought $45,000 in
funding from the city to help cover some of those expenses.
Twists and turns for the center
This was not the path that Gordan Thibedeau, United Way of Larimer County president
and CEO, expected for the center.
“We wanted a debt-free facility that would come with three years of operational
ATTACHMENT 1
funding,” Thibedeau said. “We also had this idea that nobody had ever seen before. It
took some convincing to share that and get the necessary funds.”
After jumping through zoning hurdles, neighbor concerns and funding hoops, the facility
broke ground in fall 2008 with $4.2 million in the bank to cover that three years of
operational costs. United Way owned the facility, with donations from the city of
Loveland, city of Fort Collins and hundreds of individual and agency donors, and
Touchstone Health Partners facilitated all programming and daily operations.
Initial business plans, formed years before the center opened, provided for 30-45 visitors
a day, so the building was staffed appropriately to meet that need. But when the recession
hit, the need skyrocketed, and the Murphy Center now sees an average of 156 visitors a
day. In the first year, Murphy Center Program Director Zach Penland said nearly all of
the three-to-four person staff lost 20-30 pounds from running around the facility daily to
meet the ever growing need. They called it the “Murphy Center Weight Loss Plan.”
“It was difficult to manage those first six months to a year,” Penland said. “Fortunately,
United Way and Touchstone stepped up pretty quickly to get us some additional staff and
help us manage that need.”
The plan, admittedly taken “in good faith” and not written in an official contract, was that
United Way would transfer ownership to Touchstone after one year of operations, giving
the nonprofit two full years of funding before having to take the brunt of the $30,000 per
month operational costs.
But a year in, that transition didn’t happen. In March 2012, Touchstone Health Partners
announced it never would, citing an organizational need to focus on its core business of
providing mental health services. Running on reserve funds, United Way began the
search for a new owner, meeting with more than six different agencies before launching
into negotiations with Serve 6.8, an independent nonprofit with roots in Timberline
Church. Negotiations took more than 10 months, with a closing date scheduled for July 1.
United Way, and its partners, were faced with a decision: Would the Murphy Center stay
open when reserve funding ran out or temporarily close the doors and cut back services
until a deal could be reached?
The agency chose once again to continue on with the Murphy Center’s mission and seek
the support of community partners to cover more than $180,000 in extra costs. Once
again, no finalized contracts were drafted in the process. Serve 6.8 donated $35,000 to the
Causes, Bohemian Foundation verbally committed $45,000 pending grant paperwork and
last week, the agency requested an additional $45,000 from the city of Fort Collins to
retroactively help cover the costs.
During Tuesday’s City Council work session, council member Lisa Poppaw expressed
various concerns about granting retroactive funds to the center, including why the issue
hadn’t been brought to the council previously, the religious nature of the entity taking
over the facility and a lack of additional funding partners, including those who had a
financial stake in the property’s beginnings, such as the city of Loveland.
“I know that the Murphy Center provides an extraordinary service that’s not being
provided currently,” Poppaw said. “For right now, talk to me about why I should think
that our investment into this is going to do anything but pay off an old debt.”
The council will vote June 18 on whether to grant the money.
A need emerges
The Sister Mary Alice Murphy Center for Hope is a story more than a decade in the
making. More than once, it’s been questioned if that tale would have a happy ending.
Now hailed as a national example of a one-stop-shop for the homeless and near homeless,
with more than 20 individual services provided under one roof at the corner of Conifer
and Blue Spruce on the north side of Fort Collins, the facility was once only a dream
...and a lofty one at that.
Doubt and controversy surrounded its inception, with neighbors of the proposed site
voicing concerns about providing a common ground for the homeless near a
neighborhood with children and families. Even giving the facility its namesake came with
a need to prove that the now landmark for Fort Collins’ struggling souls would treat
every person, regardless of his or her struggles, with the dignity and respect that homeless
service pioneer Sister Mary Alice Murphy expects. It took months for the parties
involved to convince her it would.
“At the time I was asked, things were in the very beginning stages,” Murphy said. “I
didn’t know who was going to run it. What if those services were given in a grudging,
punitive way and there’s my name sitting on the building? What kind of witness would
that be?
“I felt like I had to be able to trust that whoever would take over running it would run it
in a way I could be proud of. I’m happy to say that has proven to be the case, and I’m
very proud of the kind of services provided. I think it’s doing so many wonderful things.”
The need for the Murphy Center originated in the ashes of a failed day shelter on College
Avenue, which led to the death of a homeless person in freezing temperatures and the
belief among many that the community could do something better to give the voiceless a
future.
More than a decade ago, on North College Avenue near the notorious Adult Book Ranch,
Blue Bridges homeless day shelter gave Fort Collins’ homeless a place to call home and
escape from the elements. Though the facility had some funding from Larimer County
and United Way of Larimer County, the increasing rent costs of the facility, community
distaste at the “unsightly” homeless on a main drag of town and a lack of community
funding led Blue Bridges to close its doors at the turn of the century.
With the day shelter out of the picture, nothing existed to harbor the homeless when the
temperatures dipped below freezing. Shortly after the facility closed, a homeless person
was found dead in the cold. The death lit a fire under a group of community leaders,
including the United Way, to form a task force to fill the gap for the homeless population.
The task force quickly realized that a day shelter wasn’t going to be enough. The
homeless and near homeless of Larimer County faced an enormous hurdle in accessing
the services available to them, many of which were housed in different areas of town and
hard to access without a bus pass or money to buy gas. The group of thinkers began
dreaming of a facility that would provide shelter, but also house multiple services to help
guests. That dream came true when the Murphy Center opened its doors March 2009.
Faith undeterred
More than 120,000 visits have taken place through the Murphy Center’s four-year fight to
prove viable, 10,148 of which are unduplicated faces. Penland and the thousands of
volunteers who have stepped foot in the shelter have ridden the extreme emotion
rollercoaster of triumph and loss that comes with working among a troubled population.
The Murphy Center recently hosted an art show and memorial service to honor the sad
tales. More than 33 of the now-deceased Murphy Center clients died while still homeless.
“It’s hard to get to know somebody so well and know that at the time they passed away,
they were along under a tree,” Penland said. “It’s a very interesting dichotomy we have
here. You see the best parts of human nature, the worst parts of human nature, some
success stories you’d never trade in but also some horrible things you almost wished you
didn’t know could happen here. It’s a unique place to work.”
Despite enormous challenges and an unexpected path, faith prevails that the center will
continue to help homeless people.
Thibedeau said he is confident that the underdog story will live on and “outlast any
doubts.”
“If you can’t dazzle them with the wit of your idea, outlast them,” he said.

perform work under this Agreement.

(h) The City will notify the Office of the Secretary of State if Agency violates this
provision of this Agreement and the City terminates the Agreement for such breach.
