Since its inception in 1993, the program has evolved into a specialized service provider with unique expertise in serving individuals with mental retardation and psychiatric disorders, as well as those with past involvement in the criminal justice system. The goal of Community Strategies is to provide these individuals with the opportunity to live happily and comfortably within the community while maintaining a safe, high quality and cost effective program.Community Strategies operates twenty four homes and various shared living arrangements in the following locations: Athol, Abington, Bellingham, Brookfield, Carver, Kingston, Franklin, Fitchburg, Templeton, Leominster (three sites), Milford, Middleboro, Medway, Northborough, Paxton, Westborough (two sites), Westminster, Wrentham, Wendell, and Winchendon (two sites) and shared living (various homes). Presently, the program's primary funding source is the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services. Funding is also provided by the Department of Mental Health, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission and the Department of Education. Community Strategies maintains the safety of our individuals and members of the community while teaching individuals the skills they need to function more independently. We are successful when individuals learn the necessary social and life skills, have greater opportunities for inclusion in the community, get meaningful employment and require less external structure. We provide a continuum of supports - ranging from group programs with 24/7 supervision, through shared living with a provider to case management where the individual lives alone with minimal services. We have been successful in supporting individuals move into situations requiring less support. In the last two years, we have placed a dozen individual from programs into shared living situations, and have supported three other clients who require case management or only intermittent supervision. In the last two years, we have seen a marked increase in the number of individuals who have gotten or maintained jobs and/or who have required less job coaching to be successful. Our individuals increasingly attend community college, formally study for their GED, take vocational classes and attend religious study classes. Many more of our individuals have developed quality personal relationships with members of the community. This increased community involvement has been accompanied by a high level of demonstrated proactive social skills, community awareness, and safe behavior. Our success in meeting our goals has been recognized by the award of a two year license with an overall rating of 99% by the Department of Developmental Services. 4994138 6223619 CRJ's adult correctional programs provide residential services to men and women who are involved with Parole and Federal, State, and County correctional systems.

ONCE ALL COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. ONCE APPROVED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, THE FINAL FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE FULL BOARD AND THEN FILED WITH THE IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c CRJ has published and disseminated to the Board a detailed policy regarding conflict of interest and reviews and enforces compliance with the same on an annual basis. Each member of the Board has a fiduciary responsibility toward CRJ. This means that Board members may not have an interest, personal or business, which conflicts with the mission and purpose of CRJ. It also means that Board members must act in the best interests of CRJ with a view to advancing its mission and purpose. Each member of the Board must exercise caution in entering into any business relationship with CRJ, and the Board must be cautious about allowing CRJ to enter into any such relationship. Such transactions should not be consummated unless the Board determines that it is clearly in the best interests of CRJ. Accordingly, the Board adopts the following procedures regarding conflicts of interest. Each member of the Board shall provide additional written disclosures to the Board if and when additional material, financial or other beneficial interests develop, and if and when any additional potential conflict of interest develops. Such disclosure shall be made annually in June and in writing. Such disclosures shall be made a matter of corporate record, reflected in the minutes of meetings and records of proceedings, and properly disclosed in federal and state regulatory reports. Each member of the Board shall abstain from any Board action or activity where there is a potential for conflict of interest. Directors are considered to be in a "conflict of interest" whenever they themselves, or members of their family, business partners or close personal associates, may personally benefit either directly or indirectly, financially or otherwise, from their position on the Board. A Director in a conflict of interest is an "Interested Person." A conflict of interest may be "real," "potential" or "perceived," but the same duty to disclose applies to each. Full disclosure does not remove a conflict of interest. Each member of the Board shall annually disclose to the Governance and Nominations Committee of the Board any potential conflict of interest he or she may have. Such disclosure shall identify any material, financial or other beneficial interest held by the member or by his or her immediate family in organizations engaged in the same businesses or services as CRJ, or engaged in the delivery of products or services to CRJ. Each member of the Board shall provide additional written disclosures to the Governance and Nominations Committee if and when additional material, financial or other beneficial interests develop, and if and when any additional potential or actual conflict of interest develops. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 CRJ periodically compiles industry comparable salaries for its executive staff and provides the same to the Board of Directors for review and approval. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, FORM 990 AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
