FAMILIES INITIALLY ENTER SHELTER PROVIDED BY 19 HOST CONGREGATIONS WHO CONVERT THEIR CLASSROOMS INTO BEDROOMS FOR OUR FAMILIES ONE WEEK AT A TIME, 3-4 WEEKS A YEAR. AN ADDITIONAL 31 CONGREGATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS FROM THE COMMUNITY ASSIST IN PROVIDING MEALS AND SUPPORTING OUR FAMILIES AS THEY ARE EMBRACED BY A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO CARE. IN 2017 WE SERVED 12 FAMILIES IN SHELTER INCLUDING 18 ADULTS AND 29 CHILDREN. YET WE ARE MUCH MORE THAN A SHELTER. WE BELIEVE OUR FAMILIES CAN MOVE THEMSELVES FROM POVERTY IF THEY IDENTIFY THEIR ROOT CAUSES OF HOMELESSNESS AND SET REALISTIC GOALS TO ADDRESS THEM. WHILE IN SHELTER, PROFESSIONAL CASE MANAGERS WORK WITH OUR FAMILIES TO SET GOALS ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THEIR HOMELESSNESS. AREAS INCLUDE FINANCE; PARENTING; TRANSPORTATION; HOUSING AND HEALTH. ONE OF OUR NEW INITIATIVES IN SHELTER THIS YEAR WAS A MORE INTENSIVE FOCUS ON FAMILY HEALTH AND THE OUTCOMES INDICATED THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM. 96% OF FAMILIES IMPROVED THEIR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH BY ADDRESSING OUTSTANDING HEALTH ISSUES WHILE IN SHELTER; 100% OF FAMILIES ADDRESSED OUTSTANDING DENTAL NEEDS AND 100% OF CHILDREN WITH IDENTIFIED SPECIAL NEEDS ACCESSED ESSENTIAL RESOURCES WHILE IN SHELTER. ONCE GOALS ARE MET, FAMILIES MOVE INTO THEIR OWN HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH OUR TRANSITIONAL LIVING PROGRAM WITH CASE MANAGEMENT AND SUBSIDIES FOR 1 YEAR. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS FAMILIES THE TIME AND SUPPORT NEEDED TO ENSURE LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY. IN 2017 WE SERVED 7 FAMILIES IN TRANSITIONAL LIVING INCLUDING 10 ADULTS AND 14 CHILDREN.WHILE THERE ARE MANY REASONS FAMILIES BECOME HOMELESS, ONE OF THE ROOT CAUSES IS LOW WAGES DUE TO LIMITED EDUCATION. OUR STEPS TO SUCCESS PROGRAM OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT TO FAMILIES IN OBTAINING EMPLOYMENT AND PURSUING TRAINING THAT WILL BRING THEM TO A HIGHER EARNING POTENTIAL. SUBSIDIES ARE PROVIDED FOR CHILD CARE AND TRANSPORTATION TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES WHILE PURSUING EMPLOYMENT AND FURTHER EDUCATION. ALL FAMILIES IN SHELTER AND TRANSITIONAL LIVING WERE PROVIDED SERVICES THROUGH OUR STEPS TO SUCCESS PROGRAM WITH A FOCUS ON EDUCATION TO MAXIMIZE EARNING POTENTIAL. 85% OF 2017 TLP GRADUATES PURSUED EDUCATION WHILE IN SHELTER OR TLP. 100% OF 2017 SHELTER GRADUATES AND TLP GRADUATES WERE EMPLOYED. IN 2017 WE INTRODUCED OUR NEWEST PROGRAM LIFE, (LOCAL INITIATIVE FOR FAMILY EMPOWERMENT, A HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS FAMILIES WHO ARE NOT YET HOMELESS BUT AT RISK OF EVICTION. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES SUBSIDIES TO PAY RENT IN ARREARS AND ADVOCACY WITH THE LANDLORD TO PREVENT EVICTION. FAMILIES THEN COMMIT TO TWO YEARS OF CASE MANAGEMENT INCLUDING MONTHLY TRAININGS IN A VARIETY OF LIFE SKILLS AREAS. THE PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED LATE IN THE YEAR WITH THE FIRST FAMILY ACCEPTED IN DECEMBER 2017. WITH ASSISTANCE FOR RENT IN ARREARS AND SUPPORT ADVOCATING WITH THE LANDLORD THIS SINGLE MOM AND CHILD WERE ABLE TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOME, PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS.WE KNOW THAT MOTIVATED FAMILIES CAN MOVE THEMSELVES OUT OF POVERTY AND BECOME SELF- SUFFICIENT WHEN GIVEN GUIDANCE, ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT. AS A COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND TRAINED VOLUNTEERS, WE ARE PROVIDING THIS ESSENTIAL ASSISTANCE AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER. 378752 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 MA X SUSAN CROSSLEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 5083184820 PO BOX 847 NATICK MA 01760 JIM ROBERTS TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT MURRAY DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 LECIA SHRONCE CLERK 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DONNA ANGELICO CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 YUSUF KALULE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 GHAZALA ALAM VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY MCGRAW-BENTLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON RUTHERFORD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EMMANUEL BADOO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL VIRSHBO DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 KIM TYLER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MAUREEN WOOSTER DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 MORGAN MALLOY DIRECTOR THROUGH 2/2017 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN CROSSLEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 80385 0 2502 80385 0 2502 0 0 0 0 0 197491 1119005 82115 1316496 PROGRAM SERVICES 624100 14256 14256 14256 762 762 6850 3049 3801 3801 3801 74184 197491 10041 64143 64143 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 1032 1032 1032 1400490 14256 0 69738 30000 30000 82887 27629 27629 27629 269858 196222 26691 46945 6132 4665 485 982 30178 19216 4609 6353 9806 9806 8063 160 5809 2094 18863 2360 8235 8268 11778 11778 19258 12262 2941 4055 2368 1508 362 498 8543 8543 993 993 7562 5645 1917 GUEST SERVICES AND TRAN 67568 67568 DUES, FEES, & LICENSES 19950 1043 18907 VEHICLE EXPENSES 11517 11517 MISCELLANEOUS 1503 1503 606827 378752 100566 127509 119767 204705 260389 292905 7500 406960 5995 9295 1181282 13986 4508 1167296 0 13652 398159 2094813 12528 146559 15000 752958 0 1002 12528 915519 X 358399 467460 27232 711834 385631 1179294 398159 2094813 793663 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 279845 350391 450912 613592 1316496 3011236 279845 350391 450912 613592 1316496 3011236 141306 2869930 96 96 149 416 4563 5320 -2196 -4055 1647 1032 -3572 3012984 14256 0.95250 0.99860 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 276200 276200 772173 772173 19283 13986 5297 113626 113626 1167296 TENANT DEPOSITS 1002 1002 1423096 22606 22606 1400490 0 1400490 629433 22606 22606 606827 0 606827 WALKATHON 156616 153116 3500 3500 KEEP THE PROMISE 115059 44375 70684 6541 271675 197491 74184 10041 10041 64143 1 NATICK AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND 13 EAST CENTRAL STREET NATICK MA 01760 30000 GIFT TO PARTIALLY DEFRAY THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING 1 PART I, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION MADE ONE GRANT AWARD TO THE NATICK AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND (THE "TRUST") IN 2017.
