The goals of the progam are: 1) Provide a safe space 6 days per week where women can find practical necessities and a supportive community to begin to explore the steps needed to move out of homelessness and increase their quality of life. 2) Provide advice, assistance, accompaniment, and advocacy for women addressing housing, abuse, trauma, physical/mental health, legal, and other urgent needs and issues. 3) Ease women's access to and tarnsition into specialized and single-issue programs and eventually out of homelessness.OTR relies on a collaborative network with approximately fifty other human service providers. This network helps facilitate a womans access and success in programs such as domestic and sexual violence services, detoxification programs, emergency and transitional shelters and housing, legal and healthcare services, and more. OTR does not duplicate other services, but fills in the cracks to make the whole system work better for women who need it the most.Many women at OTR cope with complex physical and mental health conditions. A program participants struggle often is complicated by the fact that she cannot set a daily routine, she has no sense of place in a family or in a community, and she has little control over when and what she eats, where she can sleep, and other basic survival needs. Wellness activities improve well-being by providing positive care to minds and bodies in the Safe Haven, as well as facilitating access to emergency, primary and preventative healthcare through referrals, support, accompaniment and advocacy with women at community health centers, hospitals and other services. These and other strengths-based group and individual activities are key components of OTRs success. 314388 199176 Keep The Keys:With the help of OTR and other service providers, over time many formerly-homeless women have succeeded in securing housing. In housing, the women continue to address the long-term challenges that existed during their homelessness - addiction, mental and physical health issues, domestic and sexual violence, financial struggles, unemployment, legal issues, etc. - while also facing the challenges and responsibilities associated with independent living - and while facing new opportunities for well-being that were not available in homelessness. About 1/3 of the 400 - 450 women OTR works with each year, are housed.Participants in the Keep The Keys program maintain their connections with OTR staff and the Safe Haven community, and receive a range of services designed to support housing retention and help them build the neighborhood connections and independent living skills they need to sustain and continue to improve their quality of life. Services include home visits, goal-setting, support with life skills, and weekly support groups. KTK participants are also welcome to visit the Safe Haven during certain hours, and participate in OTRs social and wellness activities. 72533 20237 The Community Outreach and Education Program:Integral to OTRs mission is its responsibility to raise awareness and facilitate public discourse about the issues that affect the women who participate in OTRs programs. Through the Community Outreach and Education Program, OTR informs the broader community about the interplay of homelessness, trauma, mental illness, addiction, and domestic violence, and helps individuals and groups participate in creating a safe, supportive space for homeless and formerly-homeless women, as the women heal and strengthen their connections with community and mainstream resources. 1048020 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 18 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MA X X X MATT BENDER 6174977968 341 BROADWAY CAMBRIDGE MA 02139 MARTHA SANDLER President & E.D 30.00 0.00 X X 101221 0 2531 Josh Gerber Chairman 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Anthony J Koenig Jr Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alana Rusin Clerk 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bela Bashar Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nora Mann Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Guth Barnes Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tomasina Lucchese Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura M Portney Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patrica Maher Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Colin Dean Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 101221 2531 1 false false false 0 155879 484447 929214 34969 1569540 0 16442 16442 0 0 0 103589 91451 12138 12138 12138 70650 155879 57971 12679 12679 0 0 0 1610799 41259 0 54982 54982 0 0 101221 75308 10932 14981 0 808543 601763 87146 119634 0 112552 90910 10256 11386 73853 53870 8550 11433 0 1000 1000 41448 41448 0 0 0 8305 2643 4981 681 0 15519 12494 1307 1718 25980 19531 3632 2817 0 72854 63525 5308 4021 0 0 0 0 0 31631 27641 2244 1746 480 480 Client assistance 35611 35517 94 Fundraising expenses 19063 19063 Miscellaneous expenses 13380 2904 5364 5112 Recruitment and training 9383 6932 1108 1343 0 1425805 1048020 183850 193935 X 105205 108912 645148 586460 88000 56432 75567 60697 0 0 0 0 24803 12910 1492348 574472 918967 917876 911705 1216541 0 0 0 0 2769395 2959828 31950 37389 31950 37389 X 2397639 2609875 339806 312564 2737445 2922439 2769395 2959828 184994 X false true X true false X 1179429 1328079 1079150 1353285 1466264 6406207 0 0 1179429 1328079 1079150 1353285 1466264 6406207 566684 5839523 5375 11295 8856 9569 16442 51537 0 0 6457744 0.90430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 298326 298326 696094 344493 351601 391791 129599 262192 106137 100380 5757 917876 1693533 82734 82734 1610799 1610799 1508539 82734 82734 1425805 1425805 X X X X false MA Prepare for Winter 226529 155879 70650 57971 226529 155879 70650 57971 57971 12679 Part I, Line 2b - Fundraiser Additional Information Fundraising Dinner Gala, "Prepare for Winter" with a silent auction. false 0 0 Client meals 9568 14234 12640 FMV Client meals Direct client asistance 848 40748 4000 FMV Direct client asistance X 19449 FMV X Fundraising 12770 X Gift Cards 2750 false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Members of the Board of Directors (BOD) received a copy of the Form 990, minus Schedule B of confidential information, prior to its filing.
