MISSION PROGRAM MEMBERS JOIN WITH COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO PROVIDE 100% OF THE LABOR FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS WHICH COMMONLY INCLUDE: INSTALLING RAMPS AND RAILS, ASSISTIVE FIXTURES, ASSISTIVE DEVICES, REMOVAL/DEMOLITION OF UNSAFE STRUCTURES, FIXING WALLS, CEILINGS, FLOORS, DOORS, AND WINDOWS, CLEANING, PAINTING, AND OTHER GENERAL TASKS. MATERIALS AND TOOLS ARE PROVIDED FROM RECIPIENTS, OR THE MISSION. OUT PATIENT COUNSELING PROGRAM IN MARCH OF 2010 THE BOSTON RESCUE MISSION PARTNERED WITH ARBOUR COUNSELING SERVICES OF ALLSTON MA TO PROVIDE OUT-PATIENT COUNSELING SERVICES TO MEMBERS OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS SPONSORED BY THE MISSION. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND GRADUATES OF THE PROGRAMS ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE OUT PATIENT COUNSELING TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE ABUSE NEEDS, MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS, AND FAMILY ISSUES IN A MORE COMPREHENSIVE MANNER. GRADUATES OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS OFTEN CHOOSE TO REMAIN IN OUT-PATIENT COUNSELING IN ORDER TO FACILITATE A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO PERMANENT HOUSING. AFTER CARE TREATMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES INITIATED IN RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT. CLIENTS COMBINE THEIR OUT-PATIENT TREATMENT WITH OTHER AFTERCARE TREATMENT OPTIONS OFFERED BY THE MISSION (GROUP THERAPY, ETC.) IN ORDER TO PURSUE FAMILY REUNIFICATION AND OTHER TREATMENT NEEDS. THIS TREATMENT OPTION HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY THE MISSION COMMUNITY AND IS A POPULAR CHOICE OF TREATMENT FOR MANY. PRIVATE FUNDING AND EFFICIENCY ADDITIONALLY, THE MISSION RELIES IN A GREATER PROPORTION ON INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE DONORS FOR THE MAJORITY OF ITS TOTAL REVENUE. THIS RELIANCE OF INDIVIDUAL DONORS AND NOT GOVERNMENTAL TAX GENERATED FUNDS CAUSES THE MISSION TO INCUR MAILING AND TRACKING COSTS, MAKING THE DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES HIGHER THAN ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED BY A GREATER PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC FUNDING. THE MISSION BELIEVES IN A HEALTHY BALANCE OF BOTH INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS AND PUBLIC GRANTS SO IT CAN BEST MEET THE GOALS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND PROVIDE BETTER CARE FOR THE PEOPLE IT SERVES. A CORE STRATEGY OF THE MISSION IS TO EMPLOY SALARIED PROFESSIONALS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND TO AUGMENT THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS TO CARRY OUT THE SUPPORT FUNCTIONS OF THE MISSION'S MINISTRIES. THE RESULT OF THIS STRATEGY CAN BE SEEN IN NOTE 2G TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. INCLUDING THE IN-KIND VALUE OF VOLUNTEERS WOULD DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THE PERCENTAGE OF EXPENSES ALLOCATED TO OUR SERVICES IN A POSITIVE WAY.
