| Description | CREATED FROM THE "HOUSING" COMPONENT OF WHAT ONCE WAS THE SHELTER & HOUSING SERVICES PROGRAM AT WHBW, THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROGRAM (EJP) IS OUR RESPONSE TO THE GROWING REALIZATION THAT THE PATH TO SAFETY AND VIOLENCE-FREE LIVES FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MUST INCLUDE ACCESS TO ECONOMIC RESOURCES. OUR EXPERIENCE FROM WORKING WITH SURVIVORS THEMSELVES HAS SHOWN US THAT INDEED, SURVIVORS TOO OFTEN HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN STAYING IN A VIOLENT HOME OR LEAVING TO FACE HOMELESSNESS AND FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY. SOME HAVE FELT AS IF NO OTHER OPTION EXISTED BUT TO RETURN TO THEIR ABUSIVE PARTNERS DUE TO SURVIVORS' LACK OF ACCESS TO SUCH THINGS AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, INCOME OR EMPLOYMENT, HEALTH INSURANCE, TRANSPORTATION, AND OTHER BASIC ECONOMIC NEEDS. OUR MISSION IN THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROGRAM IS TO WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS AND SYSTEMS TO BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT SURVIVORS FROM ACCESSING CRUCIAL ECONOMIC RESOURCES. OUR WORK INCLUDES DIRECT ADVOCACY, SUPPORT, OPTIONS COUNSELING, AND REFERRALS FOR SURVIVORS, AS WELL AS A FOCUS ON SYSTEMS ADVOCACY ON LOCAL AND STATEWIDE LEVELS. OUR CONTACT AND ADVOCACY WITH SURVIVORS ACCESSING EJP COMES PRIMARILY THROUGH THE FOLLOWING: - REFERRALS VIA THE HOTLINE FROM SURVIVORS IN THE COMMUNITY, - PARTICIPANTS OF THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM (THP), WHICH IS NOW PART OF EJP. - REFERRALS FROM RESIDENTS IN SHELTER AND SAFE HOMES AS THEY TRANSITION OUT OF EMERGENCY HOUSING. AS STATED, THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM OF WHBW IS HOUSED WITHIN THE EJP. WHBW AND THE LOCAL HOUSING AUTHORITY, THE BURLINGTON HOUSING AUTHORITY (BHA), ENTERED INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WHICH OUTLINES EACH ORGANIZATION'S RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE THP PROJECT, NAMED SOPHIE'S PLACE. IN THE SERVICE PROVISION ROLE, WHBW COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SURVIVOR-BASED ADVOCACY FOR RESIDENTS LIVING IN THP, INCLUDING THE SERVICES OF THE EJP. ADVOCATES WORK WITH SURVIVORS ONSITE WHILE THEY RESTABILIZE THEIR HOMES AND LIVES. THE EJP PROGRAM CURRENTLY IS COMPRISED OF TWO FULL-TIME STAFF MEMBERS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2011, 12 ADULTS AND 18 CHILDREN WERE HOUSED IN THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM FOR A TOTAL OF 9,013 BEDNIGHTS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2011, 2,049 HOURS OF ECONOMIC JUSTICE ADVOCACY WERE PROVIDED TO SURVIVORS IN THE COMMUNITY. THIS INCLUDES BOTH HOUSING ADVOCACY AND ALL OTHER ADVOCACY COMPLETED BY THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE WORKERS, SUCH AS EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND CRISIS SUPPORT. | Description |
