FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE NEW ENGLAND CENTER FOR HOMELESS VETERANS IS A PRIVATE, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES INDIVIDUAL VETERANS OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO PREVENT OR END THE CONDITION OF HOMELESSNESS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: CENTER SERVICES
CENTER SERVICES - NECHV'S FACILITY OFFERS 59 AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS, A SEPARATE 20 BED FEMALE VETERAN'S DORMITORY AND OVER 300 TRANSITIONAL AND EMERGENCY BEDS. THROUGHOUT FY 2014, OCCUPANCY AVERAGED 96% MEANING THAT OVER 295 VETERANS WERE RESIDING IN THE FACILITY EVERY DAY, ALL RECEIVING FOOD, CLOTHING AND ACCESS TO A WIDE RANGE OF CLINICAL, EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PLACEMENT SERVICES. THE NEW ENGLAND CENTER'S PROFESSIONAL STAFF ASSISTS OVER A THOUSAND VETERANS EACH YEAR TO GAIN THE TOOLS AND ACCESS THE OPPORTUNITIES NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL INDEPENDENT LIVING AND MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. VETERANS ARE OFTEN CHALLENGED BY A COMPLEX SET OF FACTORS INCLUDING ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT CLIMATE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, DISABILITIES, SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND A LIMITED ACCESS TO SERVICES. THESE CHALLENGES CAN BE COMPOUNDED BY THE EFFECTS OF POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) AND TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI) AND CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF FAMILY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORKS. IN RESPONSE TO THESE CHALLENGES, THE NECHV HAS DESIGNED AN ARRAY OF SPECIFICALLY TAILORED PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE HOMELESS AND AT-RISK VETERANS THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, AND INTELLECTUAL TOOLS NEEDED FOR THEM TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: CLINICAL SERVICES
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF CLINICAL SERVICES, A VARIETY OF TREATMENTS AND BEST PRACTICES ARE PROVIDED TO HOMELESS AND AT-RISK MALE AND FEMALE VETERANS. EVERY VETERAN ENROLLED INTO THE CENTER IS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER WHO PROVIDES CLINICAL SUPPORT AND DEVELOPS A COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT PLAN, AND A HOUSING SPECIALIST WHO HAS THE GOAL OF TRANSITIONING THE VETERAN TO PERMANENT HOUSING. IF A VETERAN DOES NOT HAVE A GOAL OF PERMANENT HOUSING, THE CASE MANAGER WILL DIRECT THE VETERAN TOWARDS A PROGRAM AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDER, WHICH WILL BEST MEET THE VETERAN'S ISSUES AND NEEDS. NECHV'S SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR VETERAN FAMILIES (SSVF) PROGRAM, PROVIDES PREVENTION AND RAPID RE-HOUSING SERVICES TO 500 VERY LOW INCOME FAMILIES RESIDING THROUGHOUT EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS. PRIOR TO OCTOBER 2013, THE CENTER SUPPORTED AN ABSTINENCE MODEL OF RECOVERY SERVICE. IN OCTOBER 2013, NECHV OPENED ITS DOORS TO A NEW "SAFE HAVEN" FACILITY. SAFE HAVEN PROVIDES A LOW DEMAND, NON-INTRUSIVE ENVIRONMENT, WHERE VETERANS WHO HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO MOVE INTO SOBRIETY CAN RESIDE IN THE SAFE HAVEN PROGRAM AS THEY WORK WITH THE CLINICAL STAFF TO MAKE THE TRANSITION INTO THE NEXT STEP. FOR THOSE VETERANS WHO ARE RECOVERING FROM SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE BUT HAVEN'T ACHIEVED THE NEXT LEVEL, NECHV OFFERS A SIX MONTH INTENSIVE ADDICTIONS SERVICES PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE CONTROLLED SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE VETERANS CAN LEARN NEW LIFE SKILLS AND COPING STRATEGIES WITHOUT THE USE OF ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCES. VETERAN 360 IS THE NECHV CO-OCCURRENCE PROGRAM WHICH ADDRESSES THE ISSUES OF CHRONIC BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ALONG WITH SUPPORTIVE COUNSELING AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES. FOR THOSE WHO MAY NEED MORE INTENSIVE SUPPORT ONCE THEY MOVE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING, THE BRIDGES PROGRAM PROVIDES ONGOING CASE MANAGEMENT AND WRAP-AROUND SERVICES FOR UP TO TWO YEARS. VETERANS 360 IS THE CENTER'S FLAGSHIP BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON VETERANS SUFFERING FROM CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS (I.E. MENTAL ILLNESS AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE). NECHV PROVIDES SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR OUR SENIOR POPULATION TO MEET THE COMPLEX NEEDS OF ELDER VETERANS OVER AGE 65. SERVICES INCLUDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, LIFE SKILLS TRAINING, HEALTHCARE ISSUES, ETC. THROUGH AN EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT (ESG), NECHV HAS DEVELOPED A RAPID RE-HOUSING PROGRAM, WHICH HAS INSTITUTED A NEW TIME SENSITIVE TRANSITION PLAN, ADDRESSES BARRIERS, PROVIDES CORI AND CREDIT REPORTS, ASSET DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES AND FOCUSES ON RAPIDLY RE-HOUSING VETERANS WITHIN 90 DAYS. NECHV'S DEDICATED HOUSING PROGRAM STAFF WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CASE MANAGERS TO HELP VETERANS WITH THEIR HOUSING SEARCH, ASSISTING WITH VARIOUS APPLICATIONS, ADDRESSING AND REMEDIATION OF CREDIT AND LEGAL ISSUES AND OBTAINING FURNITURE. AS PART OF THE PROGRAM, VETERANS CAN APPLY FOR A ONE TIME GRANT FROM THE CENTER TO COVER THE COST OF THEIR FIRST MONTH'S RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT. WE CURRENTLY EMPLOY 3 HOUSING SPECIALISTS, WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2 HOUSING SPECIALISTS WORKING SPECIFICALLY WITH SSVF PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. NECHV IN COLLABORATION WITH MASSACHUSETTS HOUSING AND SHELTER ALLIANCE (MHSA), HAS DEVELOPED THE HOMEFRONT PROGRAM AS PART OF THE BOSTON COC. THE HOMEFRONT PROGRAM IS A LOW-THRESHOLD RAPID RE-HOUSING PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES SERVICES TO CHRONICALLY HOMELESS VETERANS. HOMEFRONT PROGRAM TENANTS RESIDE IN LEASED, INDEPENDENT UNITS THAT ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE COMMUNITY AS EITHER SCATTERED SITE UNITS OR CONGREGATE-BASED UNITS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: VETERANS TRAINING SCHOOL
THE VETERANS TRAINING SCHOOL (VTS), PROVIDES VETERANS WITH THE TOOLS TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT AND LIFE SKILLS TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY. VTS CONTINUES TO PROVIDE VOCATIONAL TRAINING, JOB PLACEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT RETENTION SERVICES. SIX-WEEK EMPLOYMENT WORKSHOPS COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS MONEY MANAGEMENT, RESUME BUILDING, JOB SEARCH BASICS AND COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS ARE GEARED TOWARD TEACHING VETERANS SKILLS THAT ARE MOST HELPFUL IN THEIR TRANSITION TO EMPLOYMENT AND INDEPENDENCE. VTS ALSO OFFERS SIX TO TEN WEEK VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE FIELDS OF SECURITY, CULINARY ARTS, AND COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE CLASS B, WHICH LEAD TO RAPID JOB PLACEMENT WITH LOCAL COMPANIES. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, VTS ENROLLED 267 PARTICIPANTS, GRANTED 167 CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION AND ASSISTED OVER 68 RESIDENT VETERANS TO OBTAIN FULL-TIME, PART-TIME OR SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT. NECHV'S HOMELESS VETERANS REINTEGRATION PROGRAM (HVRP) PROGRAM PROVIDES SERVICES THAT ASSIST IN REINTEGRATING HOMELESS VETERANS INTO MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT WITHIN THE LABOR FORCE AND TO STIMULATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMS THAT WILL ADDRESS THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS FACED BY HOMELESS VETERANS.
DONATED GOODS AND SERVICES:
AS WITH MOST NON-PROFITS, NECHV RELIES HEAVILY ON THE GENEROSITY OF OTHERS. DURING FISCAL 2014, WE WERE FORTUNATE TO RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $50,000 IN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, SUCH AS CLASSROOM INSTRUCTORS AND LEGAL SERVICES. IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (GAAP), THESE ARE INCLUDED IN THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. HOWEVER, UNDER IRS REGULATIONS, THESE EXPENSES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORM 990. WHEN EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE PICTURE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THESE EXPENSES SINCE THEY ARE USED TO DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE HOMELESS VETERANS WE SUPPORT. IF THESE GOODS AND SERVICES WERE NOT DONATED, IT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL COST THAT WOULD BE INCURRED. WE ADDITIONALLY RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY $419,000 IN DONATED FOOD, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN OUR FORM 990 IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRS REGULATIONS.
