Client Note 1
Client Note 1 - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS 6/30/2014A SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF OUR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM RESULTS IN SUPPORTIVE INCOME, A HOME, AND A SOBER LIFE STYLE FOR SOMEONE WHO, NOT TOO LONG BEFORE, LIVED ON THE STREETS. During the past calendar year, Transition House, Inc. provided over 25,000 bed days of transitional housing to homeless veteran and non-veteran men at its 19 facilities. Research in the AOD field has documented the correlation between a long term stable environment and positive outcomes. Eighty-four veterans successfully completed the Transition House, Inc. programs, have moved into permanent housing as contributing members of their community.Transition House's clients are provided with Counseling & Case Management; Certified AOD Addiction Counselors; Safe, Comfortable and Sober Housing; Life Skills Training, Supportive Recovery Services; Professional, Dedicated Staff; Weekly, Formal Counseling Sessions; and, Supplemental Food when necessary. Public transportation passes are also provided each week which allow clients to meet medical appointments, obtain employment, attend meetings, etc. The men who served in this group were almost exclusively veterans who joined the organization's supportive community to continue their recovery from AOD addiction. Transition House, Inc. works with other agencies in the Metro area to enhance our residents' recovery from drug and alcohol abuse and broaden their journey away from homelessness to self-sufficiency.Transition House has four programs; The Department of Veteran Affairs Homeless Veteran Program (VA), City of Atlanta Community Courts, Veterans Incarcerated Program (V.I.P.), and Supportive Housing Program.THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS HOMELESS VETERAN PROGRAM (VA)We don't just treat homelessness. We end it. That combination of passion and determination is what has elevated Transition House, Inc. to one of the largest programs in the Southeast designed to end homelessness among those who have worn our nation's uniform. Transition House has been ending homelessness in the Atlanta area for over 25 years. However, a few years ago the Department of Veterans Affairs asked Transition House to join them in a partnership to help end Veteran homelessness in the Atlanta Metro area and the program has grown since.Transition House, Inc. currently houses up to 78 formerly homeless men in various stages of life recovery. Seven Case Managers work intensely with our Veterans to rebuild their lives; make sure we employ best practices at all times; and, ensure the Veterans' living environment is clean, safe and sober. The VA allows for an individual to stay in our Grant Per Diem program (GPD) for up to one year.CITY OF ATLANTA COMMUNITY COURTSLiving with family or friends is not always an option for someone who is homeless, incarcerated and eligible for release, particularly if the living arrangement or neighborhood connections contributed to problems or behaviors that resulted in incarceration in the first place. A new living arrangement may be an important part of a plan for making a fresh start. The City of Atlanta Community Courts contract allows for an individual to stay in our aftercare recovery program (for up to 60 days) for incarcerated homeless addicts who are in recovery and in need of a transitional housing environment which will enable them to re-learn the skills present prior to their addiction and learn new relapse prevention skills to become productive citizens in our community. VETERAN INCARCERATED PROGRAM (V.I.P.)In coordination with VA's Veterans Justice Outreach, the V.I.P. program seeks early intervention from GPD eligible Veterans who are in jail, assess their needs, and provide them "early out" access to the VA's GPD program. Veterans entering the V.I.P. program receive the same services as those in the Supportive Housing Program. The V.I.P. program addresses the high cost of incarceration and high recidivism rate. For Veterans interested and eligible for the project, V.I.P. staff will assist with developing a release plan and accompany the Veteran to court to advocate for "sentence reduction" or "early release" for entry into THI's treatment program via the Atlanta Jail MOU. Referring Veterans to treatment under court control also provides an additional incentive for the Veteran to succeed (i.e. "move forward or go back to jail"). We believe there is an opportunity to recruit other jails in Metro Atlanta to participate in the V.I.P. program using a MOU similar to the one with the Atlanta Jail.SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM The Transition House, Inc. Supportive Housing Program is designed to provide supportive housing and services that will allow formerly homeless persons to live as independently as possible. The Program is made available primarily to those individuals coming out of the VA and City of Atlanta Community Courts programs who are not stable enough to support themselves solely on their own. While in the Supportive Housing Program, clients are assigned a case manager, must attend at least three 12-step programs per week, weekly house group counseling sessions and monthly life skills training courses. Clients also pay a small weekly fee toward their living expenses and may stay up to two years in supportive housing. Individuals transition into permanent housing once they gain the ability to live independently. THI ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONTransition House, Inc. has initiated an alumni association to seek the assistance of successful Veteran graduates. Meeting monthly, these former clients discuss issues and ideas on how to improve THIs program. Recently, saying that We know where they are and what they look like; these alumni offered to participate in THIs expanding outreach program and give personal testimonies to their success.LEVERAGING RESOURCES THROUGH COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONTransition House greatly leverages its resources by collaboration with other organizations that serve the homeless. Partnerships we have formed with various community services include: church-based and government agencies including VA Medical Center, Decatur; Goodwill; Atlanta Center for Self Sufficiency of MARTA for half-rate MARTA cards; Kroger, which provides food and personal toiletries to our clients; The Furniture Closet; New Hope; Project Community Connections, Inc.; DeKalb Addiction Center; Tri-Jurisdictional Collaborative on Homelessness; Georgia Association on Recovery Residences (G.A.R.R.); Task-force for the Homeless; DeKalb County Human and Community Development; HUD Regional Office; Georgia Department of Labor, and numerous churches, temples and synagogues to provide 12-step programs meetings.Robert E.
