HOUSING OPERATIONS
The heart of Westhab's mission is to provide quality, affordable housing for the poorest citizens of Westchester. We currently provide about 1000 units of affordable rental housing in Westchester, and starting in 2010, New York City. Westhab provides property and facility management in all of our facilities, homeless shelters, small and large multifamily buildings, and special needs residences in small residential buildings. We also provide security services, both staffed and mechanical in most of our buildings. Beginning in 1983, Westhab, in close partnership with the Westchester County Department of Social Services, pioneered the creation of the Emergency Housing Apartment Program, now a national model for upgrading substandard housing while providing transitional housing for homeless families. Westhab currently provides 210 units of this community-based housing for homeless families, in dozens of residential buildings throughout southern Westchester. We are very proud of the fact that the Westhab green management sign on the front of our buildings always identifies the best-maintained buildings on the block.
FORM 990 Part III, Line 4B
SHELTER OPERATIONS
At the height of the homeless crisis in Westchester County, in the mid-1990's, Westhab operated four large shelters for homeless families and individuals. Using a combination of effective case management, an innovative rent subsidy program, and aggressive home-finding activities, we have successfully moved 5000 families from homelessness to permanent housing. Having reduced homelessness by more than 60%, we proudly closed two of those four shelters and currently operate the only large family homeless shelter in Westchester in addition to a unique men's homeless shelter that provides temporary supportive housing for disabled men as well as permanent affordable housing. Our family homeless shelter for 100 families in White Plains is the central point of intake for all homeless families in the County and provides a comprehensive array of services designed to assist homeless families in moving to affordable permanent rental housing. We currently transition more than 200 families each year through this process and have reduced the median length of time families stay homeless from one year ten years ago, to two months in 2011. Westhab has developed comprehensive Youth Services programs in its homeless shelters to meet the myriad academic, enrichment, and social needs of homeless young people. Our Youth Services model has continually evolved and we now also operate community-based Youth Centers in Yonkers and Mount Vernon to meet the needs of at-risk young people in distressed neighborhoods. In 2011, we served more than 1,200 young people in these programs.
FORM 990 Part III, Line 4C
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
Westhab's fastest growing initiative, Employment Services staff help get unemployed people ready for work, help them find jobs, and provide "retention" services to help keep them employed. We started this service with homeless residents in our shelters, then expanded to serving the larger community in Mount Vernon and Yonkers by opening Community Resource Centers in both communities. We currently contract with the County to serve all its clients in Mount Vernon (1600 families) and continue to serve young people, community residents and the homeless in the city of Yonkers. Westhab's Employment Services Division averages 375 placements per year in jobs paying an average of $9.50 per hour. Additionally, our Community Resource Center enables several thousand residents each year to access job-finding opportunities on the internet, upgrade resumes, obtain interview clothing, and practice interview techniques.
FORM 990 Part III, Line 4D
AFFORDABLE LOW INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
Westhab acquires property and manages the process of building affordable housing. Using all financing sources available including state and federal grants, low income housing tax credit financing, and private debt financing, Westhab purchases vacant land in Westchester and the Bronx, structures a residential project that serves an existing need, puts together a development team including architects and engineers, attorneys and consultants, a general contractor and an owner's rep to build quality, affordable housing. Westhab has renovated or newly constructed 2500 affordable units. We currently have two projects in construction; a 40 unit senior residence in New Rochelle and a 28 unit family rental project in the Town of Greenburgh. We have two other projects that will commence construction in 2013; a 68 unit residence for single mentally ill individuals along with 18 working families in the Bronx, and a 72 unit affordable senior residence in Yonkers. Westhab's development is designed to be cost effective over the long run, using quality materials and design that holds up well for many years.
