Veterans Resource Catalog

About The Doe Fund
The Doe Funds mission is to develop and implement cost-effective, holistic programs that meet
the needs of a diverse population working to break the cycles of homelessness, addiction, and
criminal recidivism. All of The Doe Funds programs and innovative business ventures
ultimately strive to help homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals achieve permanent
self-sufficiency. Since 2009, The Doe Funds Veterans Program has offered an answer to the
unique needs of former servicemen who have fallen upon hard times. Through partnerships
with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the New York City Department of Homeless
Services, the program provides 138 homeless veterans with individualized social services and
connections to support networksall designed to maximize independent living.

3 Veterans Services Landscape www.doe.org
Rationale
It is widely known that many veterans encounter
challenges in their post-service and civilian re-
adjustment experiences. If not addressed
effectively, trauma and other challenges stemming
from military service can contribute to serious
physical and mental health issues, poverty,
unemployment, homelessness, substance abuse,
and incarceration.

In New York City, there are approximately 3,500
homeless veterans, constituting 76% of New York
States homeless veteran population (HUD, 2013).
Reducing veteran homelessness will require that
service providers address both the circumstances
leading up to and perpetuating homelessness.

Development
The Doe Funds Research and Innovation team has
assembled this catalog to facilitate comprehensive
service provision for veterans in New York City.
Initially developed as an internal document to aid
case management referrals, it became apparent
through conversations with veterans and other
service providers that the catalog would be a
helpful navigational tool across the local veteran
services landscape.

Understanding the Catalog
All details and descriptions on the following pages
were collected directly from the websites of service
providers. Although some providers listed
exclusively serve veterans, we have included a
broader pool or organizations in order to cover
client needs that might differ by geography,
discharge status, and the diversity of challenges
facing veterans.

The Service Category Key on the following
identifies the abbreviations used to describe
providers primary services. These service
categories are listed in the top right corner of each
providers page. The abbreviations are also listed
next to the organizations page number in the Table
of Contents.

An index lists organizations under each applicable
service category. We hope this catalog will
streamline referrals and facilitate access to services
for veterans. We plan to update and redistribute
this document annually. Please feel free to contact
us regarding errors, changes, or missing providers.

Over the past forty years, Einstein's Division of Substance Abuse
has helped thousands of men and women enter recovery and re-
j oin their families and communities. Through recovery, individuals
are empowered to help find meaning in their lives and integrate
back into their communities.

Next STEPS (Substance Abuse Treatment Education and Prevention Service) works with patients to achieve abstinence
from substances by focusing on all aspects of the whole person -- physical, mental and social. Next STEPS is located in
three large Wellness Centers in the Bronx that provide services including psychiatric treatment, intensive outpatient
treatment, and peer support.

Next STEPS takes a client-centered approach to treatment and offers services that are individualized, culturally competent
and provided with the utmost respect. Next STEPS works to promote recovery with individual patients, as well as the
larger community, by providing recovery-focused social activities, graduate alumni groups, and other peer support
groups.

Next STEPS offers individual counseling and groups covering topics such as early recovery, managing triggers,
motivation for change, relapse prevention, spirituality, mental health/dual di agnosis, anger management, and the
MATRIX Model. Our treatment is informed by evidence-based practices, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy and
motivational interviewing.

Many of our patients have additional needs (mental health, medical, cultural and/or criminal j ustice); Next STEPS aims to
provide these services in a "one-stop shopping" model. We also coordinate care with other agencies when a Next STEPS
patient receives care elsewhere or requires a service that we do not provide. The Division of Substance Abuse has linkage
agreements with many providers in the Bronx, Manhattan and Westchester.

Medication Assisted Opioid Treatment
The Division of Substance Abuse provides several treatment options for opioid addiction. Medications such as
methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone) or other approved opioid-agonist medications, used either in maintenance or
long-term tapering, are medically prescribed to normalize biochemistry, block the effects of abused opioid drugs, and
eliminate drug craving. Comprehensive maintenance treatment combines pharmacotherapy with personalized health
care, psychosocial support, relapse prevention, and behavioral therapies to manage opioid addiction and substantially
improve our patients' health and quality of life.

Medical Care at the Wellness Center
The Division provides community-oriented primary care for adults age 18 and over. Some of the conditions we treat
include:

America Works of New York operates the NYC HRA Back to Work Program. They provide services for: j ob readiness,
work experience and employment services for TANF recipients, veterans receiving Food Stamps or TANF, Food Stamps
recipients (including work required), the homeless and sheltered, youths aging out of foster care, non-custodial parents,
ex-offenders receiving Food Stamps or TANF and residents of NYC Housing Authority receiving Food Stamps or TANF.

America Works lifts individuals out of poverty using its unique brand of intensive, personalized employment services.
Called "a company with a conscience," it was founded in 1984 by social activist and entrepreneur Peter Cove, a Boston
native who wanted to put his ideals about poverty and the American dream into practice. Since then, this private
workforce development firm has found j obs for about 300,000 hard-to-place workers, including military veterans, long-
term welfare and food stamp recipients, former criminal offenders, people who are homeless and living in shelters,
youths aging out of foster care, non-custodial parents, people living with HIV/AIDS, and people receiving SSI/SSDI.

Peter Cove and America Works' President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Lee Bowes have become the nation's leading
experts on welfare-to-work and prison-to-work social programs. In the early 1990s, they were instrumental in educating
Congress about the merits of linking private sector employment with welfare reform. Their efforts contributed to the
passage of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act. This bill, passed by a Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by
Pres. Clinton, was meant to "end welfare as we know it."

America Works pioneered performance-based government contracting - a business model that is still not commonly used
in the social services field. States and cities pay only when people move from dependency into employment. Most other
contractors are paid when clients enroll in their programs, regardless of whether they enter employment.
Today, America Works' guiding principle is the belief that the best way to lift people out of poverty is to help them find
j obs - real private-sector j obs. In other words, it believes that work first works best.

This success has earned America Works nationwide recognition. For example, it has received:

National awards for public policy innovation from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and from
the Ford Foundation; Recognition and awards for its innovative and creative program model from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Welfare-to-
Work Partnership; A special citation from the Department of Employment for the City of New York for achieving 100% of
its programs' performance goals; and The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

American Corporate Partners (ACP) is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to assisting veterans in their transition from the armed
services to the civilian workforce. With the help of business professionals nationwide, ACP offers veterans tools for long-
term career development through mentoring, career counseling, and networking opportunities.
With the belief that one-on-one relationships enhance an atmosphere of mutual understanding, respect, and support, ACP
aims to strengthen the connection between corporate America and veteran communities.

ACP AdvisorNet is an online network of volunteer Advisors who commit to sharing their business expertise and advice
with military veterans and their immediate family. Veterans can post questions related to the following areas:

Employment
Career Development
Small Business

ACPs Veteran Mentoring Program connects Veteran Protgs with Corporate Mentors for a yearlong mentorship. Paired
based on their career obj ectives and professional experience, Mentors and Protgs define the goals of their mentorship
together. Mentors have a wide variety of professional expertise, including defense, education, finance, insurance,
information technology, logistics, management, manufacturing, marketing and retail.
Over the course of the year, all matched pairs should have at least 12 significant discussions regarding the Protgs
career obj ectives. These discussions can focus on topics ranging from rsum building and interview skills to networking
and small business development. Mentors may participate in all of the discussions personally or arrange for colleagues to
meet with their Protg. ACP has developed two program options in order to offer mentorships to veterans across the
country:

National
ACP's National Program supports remote mentorships between participants who share similar career interests, but do not
live within local proximity. We ask Mentors and Protgs to be flexible regarding the location of their mentorship.
Participants in long-distance mentorships communicate by phone, e-mail, and/or videoconference.

Local
ACP's Local Programs operate in cities with high densities of participants. Because we aim to connect you with someone
whose career obj ectives and professional experience aligns with yours, we may not always have an ideal candida te in
your area. If your location lends itself to a local mentorship, we will do our best to pair you with a participant nearby.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be a veteran in need of art
therapy services. Sessions are free.

The origin of Art Therapy Outreach Center dates back to 2003 when David Wasserman (Chairman and Founder of
ATOC) was looking for artwork to hang in his companys office. Not a fan of commercial art, Mr. Wasserman placed a
call to the School of Visual Arts, offering to make a donation to the school in return for some original art. Over the next
few years, he got to know the President of SVA, David Rhodes, and Deborah Farber, Chair of SVAs MPS Art Therapy
Department. As he learned more about art therapy and the role it was playing in the recovery of trauma survivors, Mr.
Wasserman decided to explore the possibility of creating a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing art therapy to
underserved populations in New York.

In 2008, Mr. Wasserman raised funds to underwrite art therapy services for two groups, one for women veterans and one
for at-risk youth. The following year a third group, for women trauma survivors, was added, and Mr. Wasserman
sponsored an art exhibit, Tears Dried Solid, featuring art created by the women veterans group. The programs were
supervised by Deborah Farber.

Working closely with SVAs MPS Art Therapy Department the program model was refined, a more formal partnership
with SVA was defined and, in July 2010, the Art Therapy Outreach Center received its official nonprofit designation.
Since then, ATOC has brought uniquely effective, non-threatening therapeutic support at no cost to diverse populations
including at-risk youth, survivors of sexual trauma, 9-11 and torture as well as veterans.

In 2012, ATOC partnered with a dozen nonprofit organizations and recorded upwards of 2,200 client contacts. More than
3,300 client hours of free art therapy were provided through these collaborations. Half of ATOCs programs are
exclusively for youth and adolescents from low-income families while the fastest growing population ATOC serves is
homeless veterans.

Veterans Program
Several different groups meet the needs of both male and female veterans confronting issues surrounding re-entry to
civilian life, post-traumatic stress, military sexual trauma, substance abuse and homelessness. The original womens
group has evolved into a supportive system, and through varied art therapy interventions participants have explored
their collective trauma and found solace in the knowledge that they are not alone. The veterans have used many of the
issues that disrupted their lives as subj ects of their artwork, demonstrating transformation and resiliency. ATOC is proud
to be one of the first organizations in our area to make available women-only therapy groups for female veterans.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be an individual with a history

training.

ACE works with homeless men and women throughout New York City, providing j ob training, work experience and a
lifetime support network to help our program participants achieve their goals and establish economic independence.

Adult Basic Education
ACEs Adult Basic Education (A. B. E.) program is the centerpiece of our vocational rehabilitation initiative, Proj ect
Comeback. The program offers daily classes and workshops in literacy (basic reading and writing skills; rsums and
cover letters; filling out j ob applications; crafting thank you notes), numeracy (life skills math; household budgeting;
balancing a checkbook; understanding a paystub), computer proficiency (email use; online j ob search), and j ob
readiness/life skills development (interview etiquette; workplace ethics; time management; conflict resolution).

Proj ect Comeback
Our 4-6 month vocational rehabilitation program, Proj ect Comeback, provides recovering homeless individuals with the
skills, support services and motivation they need to obtain and sustain full-time employment and economic
independence. Participants receive j ob-readiness training, supported work experience (providing maintenance services to
New York City streets and parks), Adult Basic Education, supplemental skills training (Occupational Safety & Health
Administration [OSHA]; Food Protection) and vocational support services, including life skills development and j ob
search assistance. Program activities take place seven days each week year -round, with each participant attending five
days weekly, graduating from the program once he/she finds full -time employment.

Proj ect Stay
ACEs aftercare program, Proj ect Stay, offers our graduates lifelong support and enrichment services aimed at helping
them stay employed, explore opportunities for career growth, and continue to develop their living skills, especially those
pertaining to financial literacy and money management. To assist graduates during their transition to self -sufficiency,
Proj ect Stay offers regular support groups and one-on-one counseling as needed with a Certified Rehabilitation
Counselor. The program also provides a variety of workshops geared toward vocational, educational and personal
advancement, covering topics such as communication skills, time management, conflict mediation and work/life balance.
In addition, we hold monthly recreational events, where participants socialize, network and catch up with ACE staff and
old friends from Proj ect Comeback.

Proj ect Home
Our housing program, Proj ect Home, assists select Proj ect Comeback graduates during their transition to living
independently, by providing them with a declining three-year rent subsidy to help meet the demands of living in their
own apartments. In return, with the money saved by receiving the subsidy, participants must pursue education and/or
hard skills training to increase their earning power and further their vocational growth.

Bailey Houses mission is to provide housing and support for
people living with HIV/AIDS and advocate on their behalf.

At Bailey House, we believe that housing is a fundamental
human right. Without a safe and stable place to live, men, women
and children living with HIV/AIDS cannot access health care and other life-saving services.

On April 18th, 1979, a group of veterans from all branches of the
military representing enlistees from WWII through Vietnam,
came together to provide assistance to veterans with problems.
Some immediate problems faced were racism and racist policies,
little or poor medical and rehabilitative services, unemployment,
no re-entry preparation into society. Many soldiers leaving the
military lack knowledge of their rights or the agencies willing to
help them. Some veterans experienced hostile social attitudes
and a high percentage suffered from exposure to the lethal toxin
"Agent Orange", and continual readj ustment obstacles.

B.V.S.J., Inc. has evolved since its humble beginnings into a community fixture, as much as the men and women veterans
from this community. While a new generation of veteran has served this country, many have the same problems

Since 1988, Bridge Back to Life has achieved a reputation for quality treatment of addictive disorders. We offer day and
evening hours six days per week. Our Masters and Doctoral level therapists provide quality care in most treatment
modalities, including group, individual, and family psychotherapies. All patients receive a comprehensive evaluation
prior to beginning treatment. This evaluation culminates into an individualized treatment plan for each person. This
may include crisis intervention services, psychiatric evaluation, medication management , intensive outpatient programs,
and a variety of other collateral services. In addition, our centers pride themselves on being culturally sensitive. We
currently offer treatment services in several languages including Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Polish.

Upon intake, all clients will be given a confidential, intensive, diagnostic evaluation to determine your individual clinical
needs and the appropriate level of care. We are committed to developing individualized and personalized treatment
plans in order to maximize your treatment experience at Bridge Back to Life. We understand the importance of
maintaining a close working relationship with employers, unions and EAP representatives. We can provide back to
work/school conferences when clinically indicated.
We view the family and significant others in your life to be an integral part of your recovery process. We will provide a
psycho educational program, counseling and support services to assist in their understanding of the progressive, chronic
effects of your disease. Our Goal is to remove the devastating effects drug addiction and alcoholism have caused in your
life, so that you can become a productive, fulfilled individual who deserves happiness.
You no longer have to live with the guilt and shame of addiction. We give you the opportunity to live free from the
tyranny that is drug and alcohol addiction. We utilize an innovative approach to treatment that does not rely on a "one
size fits all" approach to addiction treatment. Through individual, group and family psychotherapy we will help you to
discover the addictive, emotional, and interpersonal roadblocks that are denying you the life you deserve. Our groups
are designed for different stages of recovery in order to promote a clinically driven continuum of care. Most clients'
treatment includes participation in a group whose progress and concerns are similar to yours. Through the group
experience you will begin to explore and learn how the chronic, progressive characteristics of your disease have had
devastating effects on your life and those with whom you are close.

Services include: Outpatient detox, adolescent programs, group psychotherapy, as sessment and referral services,
alternatives to violence, group psychotherapy, and psycho-educational groups.

poverty in New York City through innovative programs that
build human capital and improve financial security. Launched by
the Office of the Mayor in 2006, CEO works with both City
agencies and the federal government to implement successful
anti-poverty initiatives in New York and partner cities across the
United States. Among CEO's greatest successes have been the creation of the Office of Financial Empowerment,
SaveUSA, CUNY ASAP, Jobs-Plus, and a more accurate measure of poverty. Several CEO initiatives have been
incorporated into the Young Men's Initiative, a comprehensive and expansive program designed to address disparities
between young African-American and Latino men and their peers.

CEO has helped to drive systemic change across City agencies: City University of New York has doubled graduation rates
for students in CUNY ASAP and incorporated elements of the initiative into additional CUNY programs; the Department
of Probation has integrated new employment and education services programs to provide those in the probation system
with community-based services; and the Department of Small Business Services now incorporates a sector-focused
approach into NYC Business Solutions, and has combined CEO and federal funding to better connect j ob seekers with
businesses. Additionally, CEO manages the federal Social Innovation Fund (SIF) grant to expand effective solutions to
critical social challenges nationwide, and monitor findings to continue to shape New York City's policy work. CEO also
led the federal government to adopt the Supplemental Poverty Measure by the United States Census Bureau, providing a

We turn no one away. Our doors are open, with no appointment necessary, to any person in need no matter how
difficult or complex their issues. Every person deserves respect and having a safe, affordable home is the bedrock all
humans need to thrive. Our mission is to ensure that sanctuary for all New Yorkers.

Coalition Houses offers private apartment living for 38 homeless individuals in three contiguous five-story

Bridge Building provides one- and two-bedroom apartments for homeless women so they can be reunited with

Advocacy and Public Policy
From our first legal victory, Callahan v. Carey, which guaranteed the right to decent shelter, the Coalition has worked at
the city and state levels to protect homeless adults and children and to create long-term solutions to modern mass
homelessness. We advocate strategically -- forging viable and lasting solutions targeted to reduce the unprecedented
number of homeless New Yorkers and prevent many more from j oining their ranks.

There has recently been tremendous public attention and outcry as the Bloomberg Administration opened several large
shelters in Manhattan and Queens. The dramatic increase in need for overnight shelter is fueled by a new era in New
York public policy: For the first time in NYCs modern history, our mayor has no program to move homeless families into
permanent housing. With no way to move out of the dead end of shelter life, the number of families without homes will
continue to increase dramatically in the foreseeable future. The Coalition is working in tandem with Speaker Christine
Quinn and the City Council to advance a plan for restoring priority for federal housing subsidies and the creation of a
targeted local rental subsidy program.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be chronically homeless, and

contributes to the chronic homelessness.

Common Ground devotes considerable resources to addressing
homelessness among veterans, who on average make up more
than 10% of our total client base.

In 2007, in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), opened a 96-unit Veterans Transitional
Residence (VTR) on the Montrose, New York VA campus. The VTR, in coordination with the VA, offers
comprehensive on-site case management, mental and physical health services, substance abuse counseling, and
employment assistance to move individuals into permanent housing within a two-year period.
In 2011, we served more than 400 homeless veterans through our housing and outreach programs. As we plan
future housing developments, we are seeking to preferentially reserve approximately 30% of housing units for
veterans, at the same time that we deepen our partnership with the VA and add specialty programs to meet
veterans needs.
Common Ground is one of three human services organizations operating a pilot program desi gned to intensify
efforts to identify and house homeless veterans in New York City.
Common Ground assists several special needs segments of the chronically homeless population in New York
City, and regrettably, these include a significant number of militar y veterans. We serve veterans in all program
areas, from street outreach to transitional and permanent supportive housing. Homeless veterans comprise
approximately 11% of our total client base.
Our veterans transitional residence on the Montrose Campus of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is
unique in offering a writing workshop for the community there. Writings and drawings from the workshop were
published in Afterwords: On Common Ground.
In 2011, Common Ground, Goddard Riverside, and the BRC initiated a pilot proj ect to intensify efforts to identify
and house homeless veterans. This effort doubles Common Grounds annual caseload of clients with a history of
military service and aims to house close to 200 veterans annually. In addition, Common Ground and its partners
will work closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs to confirm that clients are receiving all veterans
benefits to which they are entitled, including housing, employment training and support, and medical, mental
health and/or substance abuse treatment.

Common Grounds mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining
exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Common Grounds success in ending homelessness is built on a housing model that targets individuals and families who
are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

For the chronically homeless, we create safe, secure housing, with essential on-site support services to help them

address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
For individuals who find themselves at t he edge of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-
important safety net.

For both populations, we strive to create strong, vibrant communities within our buildings and to strengthen the
neighborhoods in which our buildings are located through a commitment to social inclusion. Since its founding,
Common Ground has created 3,200 units of affordable permanent and transitional housing in the northeastern United
States and enabled more than 5,000 people to overcome homelessness. We currently operate 13 transitional and
permanent housing residences and more than 120 scatter site units in four New York City boroughs, as well as a
transitional residence for homeless veterans in Westchester County, NY, and low-income housing in Hartford, CT.
Common Ground also manages the innovative street outreach program, Street to Home, which connects the most
entrenched, long-term homeless individuals with housing and other critical supportive services.

Since its founding in 1989, Comunilife has grown into one of
NYCs best-respected community-based health and housing
service providers. Each year, our rich continuum of care
supports the needs of more than 3,000 low-income and
vulnerable New Yorkers.

Comunilife owns or manages 1,458 units of supported transitional and permanent housing for homeless adults struggling
with HIV/AIDS, serious mental and behavioral health issues, and other chronic medical conditions. We operate a full-
service, Latino-centered, South Bronx-based mental health clinic the Vida Guidance Center that provides more than
20,000 outpatient visits a year. Life Is Precious, our unique suicide prevention program for Latina girls, is gaining
national recognition for effectively addressing the needs of the highest -risk group of teenagers in the country; we have
j ust launched a Latino Youth Suicide Prevention Center to disseminate best practice prevention approaches for Latinos of
all ages. Through our new Mi Salud initiative, we provide coordinated behavioral and medical care services for older
adults with serious psychiatric issues. In addition, through our Medical and Psychiatric Respite program, we arrange
short-term supportive housing for recently discharged hospital patients who lack appropriate housing in which to
recuperate.

All Comunilife activities are tailored to reflect the program participants perspectives, needs and strengths; our programs
are guided by community-defined best practices. Our signature training program the Multicultural Relational
Approach for Diverse Populations equips our staff to incorporate clients cultural and personal perspectives into their
overall approach to care. Because of our clear respect for understanding and desire to work in partnership with those
whom we serve, we successfully engage some of the most marginalized and hardest -to-reach people in the city.

Thanks to our efforts, hundreds of chronically homeless New Yorkers move out of the City shelter system into stable,
permanent housing, each year. Latina adolescents, who are at high risk for attempting suicide find hope, fortitude, and
the renewed desire to survive and succeed. Older adults learn to better understand and manage complex, interrelated
psychiatric and physical health challenges. Lastly, organizations across the nation have the chance to learn about
practices that can promote similarly impressive outcomes within their communities.

We exist to help communities solve the most complex problems
affecting their most vulnerable, hardest hit neighbors.
Homelessness is a preventable condition and we believe resolving it is key to creating healthier communities. We
envision communities where everyone has a home, the support of caring neighbors, and opportunities for a healthy,
promising future.

Our perspective on homelessness is based on twenty years of experience ending street homelessness, developing and
operating permanent supportive housing and bringing a range of community partners together to create and share cost -
effective solutions to support our most vulnerable neighbors. As results-oriented social entrepreneurs, we are fueled by
optimism, driven by data, and convinced t hat powerful ideas linked to the efforts of a network of partners can solve
urgent, complex and costly community challenges.

We offer communities expertise and strategies based on 20 years of experience ending homelessness. Our partnerships create
sustainable, cost effective solutions and build broad networks capable of implementing and sustaining them. We measure impact in
lives improved and public costs saved.

The Brownsville Partnership
The Brownsville Partnership (BP) is a network of organizations and residents working together to build on existing assets to create
solutions to Brownsvilles most pressing challenges. Community Solutions coordinates the BP, which draws on the
participation of more than 25 different local groups in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Brownsville, as well as the robust
engagement of local community members.

The Challenge: Brownsville is one of a handful of New York City neighborhoods where the maj or indicators of poverty
are concentrated. Within Brownsville, data reveals that six large public housing developments are at the heart of the
distress. With our partners, we are concentrating existing resources and support networks around this particularly hard-
hit group of residents, and strengthening ties between Brownsville and the rest of the City to expand opportunities for all
residents.

Our Goal: Between 2014 and 2017, the BP will connect 5,000 residents to j obs, convening a City-wide network of partners
to target the economic instability at the root of Brownsvilles housing, health and public safety challenges.

Our Method: The BP coordinates a multi-sector network of community residents, institutions, nonprofits and
government agencies. Through data analysis, community mobilization, regular convenings of partners and aligning of
common goals, we build the local infrastructure to support collective problem solving around Brownsvilles most
complex challenges.

Our Veterans Program offers an answer to the unique needs of
former servicemen who have fallen upon hard times. Through
partnerships with the VA and the New York City Department of
Homeless Services, the program provides homeless veterans with
individualized social services and connections to support
networksall designed to maximize independent living. Our
staff facilitates linkages with the VA and ensures that men
receive appropriate services in a timely manner. VA psychiatric
and medical evaluations are the basis for numerous benefits,
including disability, supportive housing, and placement in
assisted or independent living. Men suffering from PTSD or TBI
receive referrals so that they can access treatment and participate in support groups. Upon enrollment, each individuals
unique circumstances are assessed by a Senior Case Manager and dependent upon specific needs, participants are placed
into one of two program tracks: Ready, Willing & Able or Rapid Re-Housing.

Ready, Willing & Able
Approximately half of the veterans served by The Doe Fund participate in Ready, Willing & Able, our residential
workforce development program, and strive to achieve the professional skills and income level that will allow them to
live independently. Individuals live on a dedicated floor of 138 beds in our safe and comfortable facility, and work with
designated case managers, career development specialists, graduate services advisors, and housing coordinators (most of
whom have also served in the Armed Forces).

Phase 1Orientation and Assessment: Trainees undergo a 30-day orientation process, which provides the first set
of tools needed to maintain sobriety and create an individualized service plan. Individuals attend informational
workshops, begin meeting with case managers, complete in-house work assignments, and take the Test of Adult
Basic Education (TABE). TABE assesses an individuals reading and writing levels and helps to determine an
appropriate regiment of onsite classes and tutoring, as well as referrals for higher education opportuniti es. Bi-
weekly mandatory drug testing also begins at this phase, and relapse prevention is supported through onsite
AA/NA meetings.

Phase 2Work and Skills Training: At the start of month two, trainees begin working 30 hours a week in the
Community Improvement Proj ect (CIP), earning $8.20 to $8.95 per hour . As the men clean 150 miles of streets
every day and contribute to the cleanliness and vibrancy of NYC, they learn the necessary soft skills of
employment, such as punctuality, customer service, and teamwork. After work, they attend basic education
classes, which offer instruction in literacy, math, and computers, as well as preparation for the high school
equivalency exam. Trainees are also required to complete a comprehensive life skills curriculum, focused on
conflict resolution, anger management, and parenting techniques and financial planning. Each man must save a
part of each paycheck (on average, $33 each week) to help them secure independent housing upon graduation from
the program. After four months of successful participation in CIP, trainees are eligible to enroll in occupational

training tracks, which include paid work at one of The Doe Funds social enterprises, classroom instruction, or
related paid work assignments. Options include culinary arts, energy-efficient building maintenance, pest
management, business support, and security-in-training.

Phase 3Job Preparation and Placement: As trainees advance through our occupational tracks and work to obtain
critical certifications, our Career Development staff engages them in the j ob search process, with the goal of helping
our men obtain full-time employment in areas offering mobility and wage growth. Compulsory workshops teach
skills essential for successful j ob searches, while weekly preparation classes and Mock Interview Nights with
corporate volunteers help trainees fine-tune resumes and interview skills. Classes and case management
continue throughout this phase, as trainees prepare for full-time employment in the private sector.

Phase 4Graduation and Transition: Once trainees become graduates, they are eligible for a $1,000 grant, paid
in $200 installments over the first five months after graduation and contingent on documenting employment.
Monthly, quarterly, and annual events afford access to a supportive community, training opportunities, j ob
placement services, and events. The transition from our facility back into the community can be overwhelming
and our Graduate Services staff make the process as seamless as possible by keeping graduates engaged and
promoting positive behaviors.

Rapid ReHousing
Veterans with mental health or physical disabilities who seek assistance through The Doe Fund are generally unable to
participate in the paid work component of Ready, Willing & Able and are directed to Rapid ReHousing. This track is
better suited for those veterans who arrive with fixed incomes such as VA Benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and pensions, and can sustain independent living. Participants receive
individualized services, such as case management (including advocacy for obtaining or restoring VA and other
government benefits, such as SSI and Public Assistance); onsite medical and mental health assessment and care
(accompanied by referrals and transportation to offsite services); placement in supportive housing and assistance with
obtaining housing benefits; employment counseling and assistance; computer literacy classes; and linkages to community
service providers and educational programs. All services are components of personalized packages that are geared
toward maximizing sufficiency.

Community Engagement
Our veterans have the opportunity to partake in a number of community engagement and social activities to complement
the variety of services offered in the Veterans Program, including:

The Veterans Horses for Heroes Program: In a partnership with GallopNYC's Horses for Heroes, Doe Fund
veterans can learn how to use horses therapeutically for individuals with disabilities and mental illness, including
veterans with TBI and PTSD.
Veterans Day Events: Each year, Doe Fund veterans march in the New York City Veterans Day Parade, j oined by
George McDonald, Founder and President of The Doe Fund. Additionally, seni or staff attend a Veterans Day
event with the Mayor at Gracie Mansion.

The Veterans Adaptive Swimming Program: In coordination with Asphalt Green Aquatic, we provide veterans with
chronic medical conditions the opportunity to participate in an adaptive swimming program. Each Saturday, these
veterans receive physical exercise that they would otherwise be unable to receive.

Since its inception in 1977, the Employment Program for
Recovered Alcoholics (501c3) has provided the vocational
rehabilitation link to a successful recovery process from the disease of alcoholism and substance abuse. Studies have
consistently demonstrated that j ob stability is a key factor in establishing long-term sobriety. EPRA graduates are enabled
to return to meaningful work, get off public assistance, pay taxes, and maintain sobriety.

Until the founding of EPRA there was no recognized program for helping recovered alcoholics rediscover their
employment potential. Initial funding came from the National Council on Alcoholism and grants from the Union Carbide
Corporation and Brinkley Smithers of the Smithers Foundation. As a founder of EPRA, Brinkley Smithers continued his
generous support. Today, the generous spirit is continued by the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation and Adele C.
Smithers. EPRAs success has generated support from other Foundations, Corporations, and government agencies .

EPRAs unique career recovery program has been developed, tested, and refines after years of listening to clients. Each
component provides different, yet essential, information and experiences. Building on personal strengths developed in
the program, EPRA helps people better set their vocational goals and to master the requirements of the workplace. In
addition to achieving meaningful employment, clients adopt positive principals that enrich their sober lives for the
present and future. EPRA's services include: j ob placement, j ob readiness training, evaluation and assessment and work
experiences which enable clients to make the transition to the discipline of a normal working life-style. Evening and
weekend programs provide follow up to help clients and graduates deal with workplace issues. EPRAs Alumni
Association provides support to both clients and graduates.

EPRA is dedicated to the idea that the best interpersonal environment for recovery is a melting pot of men and women
recovering from alcohol and substance abuse. EPRA clients represent the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity of
New York City. The common experience of recovery helps clients provide each other with valuable support. The Board
of Directors and Staff of EPRA are committed to increasing services to individuals who are handicapped by the disability
of alcoholism and substance abuse. EPRAs environment has been characterized by clients as warm, caring, and
safe. Our accomplishments are supported by numerous letters of gratitude and financial contributions from our most
important constituency- the graduates of the EPRA program.

Unfortunately, I know of no other program like EPRA in the United States. Dr. Anne Geller-Chief, Smithers Alcoholism
Treatment and Training Center

EPRA is a bridge back to work for individuals in recovery. With positive attitudes and well developed skills, theyre
strongly motivated, conscientious, and eager to make contributions to society. Their success in dealing with a maj or life
crisis, conquering the disease of alcoholism/substance abuse, gives them a stability and personal insight commonly found
in the exceptional employee. Today, thousands of EPRA trained people have returned to productive working lives in
New York City. They work at j obs ranging from the mail room to the executive suite and are helping to change previous
thinking about recovery.

Many people have been told that PTSD is a disorder they have to learn to live with. This is incorrect. We now have
treatments that reduce/ resolve symptoms of PTSD. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you resolve past
traumas so that you can lead a life that is worth celebrating. By utilizing cutting-edge therapeutic approaches and
techniques, we can not only resolve big traumatic events, but can alter and heal long-standing behavior patterns and
negative perceptions that may be interfering with your capacity to experience a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

All treatment goals are arrived at collaborat ively, with an emphasis on building somatic resources prior to exploring
traumatic experience. Please call me to schedule an individual, couples or family evaluation.

I have had a great deal of experience with combat -related trauma and will gladly evaluate any veteran or active duty
warrior, especially those in need of discharge upgrades based on PTSD. I also work with military families.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be an individual seeking
alcohol detoxification services, suffering from mild withdrawal
coupled with situational crisis, unable to abstain without
professional intervention, and have a history of dependence and currently at risk of relapse due to situational crisis.

Type(s) of Insurance Accepted: All services paid for by New York City HRA.

Faith Mission Crisis Center (FMACC) is a faith-based, behavioral health care organization specializing in crisis services
for adults affected by alcohol and/or drug abuse. FMACC is licensed by New York State Office of Alcoholism &
Substance Abuse Services to provide medically monitored withdrawal services in a residential setting.

We provide a safe and caring, holding environment for adults struggling with complications from their alcohol and/or
drug abuse. The program operates 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, and is open to both men and women.

We believe that alcoholism and drug addiction are treatable illnesses with psychological, emotional, spiritual, genetic, and
environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. We believe that recovery is possible if clients
receive appropriate treatment, maintain a commitment and address the issues that lead to relapse. This agency further
believes that faith is an indispensable element in the recovery process, therefore we encourage ALL clients to believe that
they CAN lead healthy and productive lives.

Addiction is destructive. It harms personal relationships, work relationships, and family relationships and, given enough
time, destroys entire lives. No one sets out to be addicted, but given the right substances and the right circumstances,
anyone can fall victim. And once addiction seeps in, lives unravel. Unemployment, homelessness, depression, expulsion
from school, thoughts of suicide, deviant behavior and family disintegration seems to come with the territory.

Even with the circumstances mentioned, there is still hope for the addicted person and their families. FMACC believes
that all persons have the ability to change if properly motivated. We firmly believe that our services can be the first step.

All admissions of patients shall be voluntary and a patient shall be free to discharge him or herself at any time. This
provision shall not preclude or prohibit attempts to persuade a patient to remain in the service in his or her own best
interest.

Providers of medically monitored withdrawal services shall admit only persons in need of the level of care provided. No
person shall be admitted unless observation and evaluation document all of the following:

the person is intoxicated, experiencing a situational crisis, and/or is suffering or is at risk of suffering mild
withdrawal;
the person is unable to abstain without admission to a medically monitored withdrawal service;
Service Categories
FAITH MISSION ALCOHOL CRISIS CENTER

the person is likely to complete needed withdrawal and enter into continued treatment; and
the person is not otherwise too ill to benefit from the care that can be provided by the medically monitored
withdrawal service.

A patient may be retained in the medically monitored withdrawal service if he or she is awaiting a scheduled admission
into appropriate treatment upon discharge. Such retention must be documented and may not exceed 14 days from date of
admission.

Individual Counseling
1. The client will be engaged daily in individual counseling for the first 3 days to motivate continued treatment and
encourage independent and personal responsibilities. Thereafter, individual counseling will be provided twice a
week until placement/referral to an appropriate center.
2. Clients will be visually monitored and observations will be recorded every half hour during the first twenty -four
(24) hour period. During the rest of the client's stay, vital signs shall be taken two (2) times per day .
3. Each client will be assigned a counselor as soon as possible after admission in order to foster insight about
drinking behavior and to provide motivation for continued treatment. The counselor and the client will develop a
service plan with realistic goals according to the needs of the client. The frequency of the sessions will be
determined by the client's needs and counseling will be provided at least two (2) times per shift for 5 days and
then one (1) day during the client's duration of stay in the facility.

Group Counseling
Group Counseling will be provided to foster inter -personal skills and peer support.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be a veteran looking to enroll or continue education at Fordham University.

The Fordham Vets Initiative was launched in January 2009, in anticipation of the Post-9/11 GI Bill which would be
implemented the following Fall, and which would provide veterans with a wider range of higher education choice than
they had enj oyed for several decades. Fordhams President, Rev. Joseph M. McShane, SJ appointed a Task Group co-
chaired by Dr. Peter Vaughan, Dean of the Graduate School of Social Service and Dr. Michael Gillan, Associate Vice
President for Westchester. The Task Groups charge included:

To see to it that Fordham personnel were knowledgeable and ready for their responsibilities under the new Bill,
To build awareness regarding veterans and their needs, and to develop new services, as necessary,
To communicate to potential student -veterans Fordhams historic commitment and its renewal for this
generation,
To facilitate their j oining the University community, and
To insure that Fordham would again take an exemplary leadership role in service to veterans.

To further these obj ectives, the President also committed Fordham to maximum participation in the VAs supplemental
Yellow Ribbon Program, whereby an institution can waive up to 50% of tuition and fee charges which exceed standard
benefits for fully-eligible veterans. The VA then matches that level of supplemental support. Fordham was among the
very first institutions in the nation to so commit; in the most recent 2012-13 academic year, the Universitys Yellow Ribbon
contribution was almost $600,000. In the current year, 2013-14, it is expected to reach $660,000.

The following are among the activities and services which have been developed and which, together, constitute the
Fordham Vets Initiative:

The position of Veterans Entry Advisor has been created, and is referenced in all communication materials, to
insure that a veterans first contact with Fordham can be a personal one. This individual holds an MSW, with
concentration on veterans post-deployment issues. Prospective student -veterans are also invited to consult with
currently-enrolled student-veteran leaders, who have volunteered to be available
A website has been established (www.fordham.edu/vets) to bring together all relevant information for Fordhams
student-veterans, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the initiative:
Orientation Programs are organized each semester to acquaint all student -veterans, undergraduate and graduate,
and Fordham student support services (Counseling Center, Career Services, Campus Ministry, Financial Aid,
Disability Services, VA Benefits Certifying Officers, etc.) and to introduce them to representatives of the VA
Health Care System, Community Vet Centers, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, the NYC Mayors
Office of Veterans Affairs, American Corporate Partners, and other community resour ces;
The University Office of Counseling and Psychological Services has introduced Boots to Books, a peer -mentoring
program for new student veterans;

impressive anthology of their work is professionally produced each year.
The Human Resiliency Institute of the Graduate School of Education has developed a transition-support

Helmets to Hardhats is a national, nonprofit program that
connects National Guard, Reserve, retired and transitioning
active-duty military service members with skilled training and
quality career opportunities in the construction industry. The program is designed to help military service members
successfully transition back into civilian life by offering them the means to secure a quality career in the construction
industry.

Most career opportunities offered by the program are connected to federally-approved apprenticeship training
programs. Such training is provided by the trade organizations themselves at no cost to the veteran. No prior experience
is needed; in fact, most successful placements start with virtually no experience in their chosen field. All participating
trade organizations conduct three to five year earn-while-you-learn apprenticeship training programs that teach service
members everything they need to know to become a construction industry professional with a specialization in a
particular craft. And, because these apprenticeship programs are regulated and approved at both federal and state levels,
veterans can utilize their Montgomery G.I. Bill benefits to supplement their income while they are learning valuable skills
and on the j ob training.

In 2007, Helmets to Hardhats supplemented its existing program with a disabled American veteran program known as
the Wounded Warrior program, which serves to connect disabled veterans with employment opportunities in the
construction industry and the careers that support construction.

Helmets to Hardhats helps military service members successfully transition back into civilian life by offering them the
means to secure a quality career in the construction industry. There are many excellent reasons to purs ue a career in the
constructions trades.

Federal approved apprenticeship training programs come at no cost to the veteran.
No prior experience required. The three to five year apprenticeship program teaches you everything you
need to work in a specialized skilled craft.
Because these are federally approved programs, you can use your Montgomery G.I. Bill benefits to
supplement your income. Better yet, apprenticeship programs offer the opportunity to earn while you learn.

At Homes for the Homeless, our mission is to provide homeless families with the opportunities and support necessary to
move out of shelter and live independently.

With the knowledge that Family Homelessness is first and foremost a poverty issue that disproportionately affects
children, Homes for the Homeless has adopted a family-based, child-centered, education-focused approach to all its
programs and services.

Homes for the Homeless developed the American Family Inn model as an efficient and effective approach for how to
comprehensively serve homeless families within the context of the existing shelt er infrastructure. The American Family
Inns combine the basic services of traditional shelters with a full range of programs designed to meet the specific needs of
homeless children and their parents. Rather than assume parents will have the opportunity to obtain services once they
have procured permanent housing, HFH ensures that a family's future can begin as soon as they walk through the doors
of an American Family Inn.

Each Inn provides a community of opportunity where families find the classrooms, libraries, computer labs, health clinics,
playgrounds, and counseling centers they will use during their time as residents. All of these on-site resources make the
American Family Inn a place where parents and children can learn and grow as they embark on the path to
independence. Mothers drop toddlers off at daycare on their way to work, after -school teachers greet kids as they come
home from school, and families learn together in literacy workshops. While students take educational field trips to
museums and city landmarks, adults meet with employment and housing specialists who help them prepare for j ob
interviews and find apartments of their own. On-site New York City Department of Education liaisons work to ensure
that children are enrolled and attend school. Parents and children are embraced by a community that encourages them to
grow and succeed.

HOPE was founded in 1984, under the visionary leadership of Deborah Antoine MacFarlane and her colleagues at

Deborah Cutler, Barbara Edwards Delsman, and now Jennifer Mitchell, all of whom share a commitment to empowering

*This organization operates the Borden Avenue Veterans
Residence (BAVR).

"Homecoming" is a word that has a special meaning to veterans
returning to family and friends after having been away for long
periods of time. A veteran's return home does not end j ust
because he/she is now back on American soil. Indeed, for many, the long j ourney "home" only begins at that point.
Reestablishing emotional connection and a personal role with family and community after significant time away from
home may require ongoing support and assistance. ICL offers the following services to veterans of all eras and their
families to help on the j ourney home.

ICL is an award-winning, not-for-profit, human service agency that offers a wide array of residential, treatment,
rehabilitation and support services to children, families and adults in New York City and Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. Started in 1986 to serve adults with serious mental illnesses, today ICL serves people with many special
needs, as well as typical New Yorkers, through its NYS-licensed health center; mental health clinics; school-based mental
health programs; shelters, community residences and permanent supported housing; rehabilitation and support
programs; Family Resource Center; and a variety of case management services. ICLs community housing and outpatient
mental health programs are accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be homeless, as well as three
months clean and sober.

Inspired, strengthened and sustained by faith, the Interfaith
Assembly on Homelessness and Housing is committed to
confronting the unconscionable and unacceptable reality of homelessness in New York City. Recognizing societys shared
responsibility and working as partners with those who have experienced homelessness, the Assemb ly will mobilize
communities of faith to empower all people, to advocate public policies to eliminate homelessness, and strive for the
transformation of society.

In 1989, the Interfaith Assembly, in partnership with New York Catholic Charities developed t he 12-week, 24-session
Education Outreach Program (EOP) to assist homeless adults to recover from the trauma associated with their
homelessness and be re-integrated into their community. Participants are drawn from city shelters, drop-in centers,
therapeutic communities and transitional housing programs. These classes are now offered twice a year to classes of up
to 15 individuals through New York Catholic Charities and St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church. As part of the
EOP format, each participant works with a mentor who assists him/her in the development of personal goals.

The Assembly has assisted a number of community-based organizations to replicate this model with great success, and is
now, thanks to a generous gift in memory of Andrew Stallman has embarked on an effort to assist many more community
partners to help establish additional sites of the Life Skills Empowerment Program based on then Education Outreach
Program format. The first of these new programs, Breakthrough, was established in 2008 in partnership with Mercy
Haven, Inc., based in Sayville, NY. In partnership with Congregation Ansche Chesed, Panim El Panim was established
on Manhattans Upper West Side, in Bronxville, in partnership with the Reformed Church, Coming Home was
established to assist men and women returning home from incarceration, in the spring of 2011, Coming Home Brooklyn
was established in partnership with the office of Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes to help those coming out of prison with a
history of substance abuse, and in the spring of 2011, Living Well was established to assist women who had become
homeless as a result of domestic abuse.

Central to the process of healing from the trauma associated with their homelessness is being able to gain an ins ight about
what has happened and how it felt. Life Skills participants learn to make sense of their experience of homelessness in the
context of their lifes j ourney. In sharing with a group of similar experiences, they receive valuable support and
affirmation of their inherent value as members of the human family. Graduates are invited to j oin the Speakers Bureau
and share their stories of recovery with the general public to help others to gain an understanding of personal dimensions
of homelessness.

Participants are helpful to understand the process of identifying and achieving goals in the various areas of their lives and
are then matched with a volunteer mentor from the community who assists them in this process. Mentors make a
commitment to meet with the participants six times over the 12-week period. Many mentors maintain contact with the

public, Looking to the Future, when participants discuss how to apply what theyve learned and grow from this
experience. There is also an evening in which program participants j oin t he Interfaith Assembly for its annual Interfaith

The Legal Aid Society by the court system.

The Legal Aid Society is a private, not -for-profit legal services organization, the oldest and largest in the nation, dedicated
since 1876 to providing quality legal representation to low-income New Yorkers. It is dedicated to one simple but
powerful belief: that no New Yorkers should be denied access to j ustice because of poverty. The Society handles 300,000
individual cases and matters annually and provides a comprehensive range of legal services in three areas: the Civil,
Criminal and Juvenile Rights Practices. Unlike the Society's Criminal and Juvenile Rights Practices, which are
constitutionally mandated and supported by government, the Civil Practice relies heavily on private contributions.

The Legal Aid Society is the oldest and largest not -for-profit organization in the United States providing free legal
services for clients who cannot afford to pay for counsel. During 2008, with a staff of some 1,400 - including nearly 850
lawyers and 600 social workers, investigators, paralegals, and support and administrative staff - the Society handled
295,00 legal matters for clients with civil, criminal, or j uvenile rights legal problems. The Society provides legal services
through a network of borough, neighborhood, and courthouse offices in 25 locations in all five counties of New York City.
The Legal Aid Society has a comprehensive city-wide legal services program for clients. The Society's legal program
operates three maj or practices - Civil, Criminal, and Juvenile Rights. The Society's pro bono program supports the work of
these practice areas. Each practice area provides advice and counsel and legal representation in individual client cases
and law reform legal advocacy to groups of similarly situated clients when such representation is more effective to
address systemic client problems. Society staff members r epresent clients at literally every level of the State and federal
trial and appellate courts as well as in State and federal administrative proceedings.
The Civil Practice represents low-income families and individuals in legal matters involving housing, benefits, disability,
domestic violence, family issues, health, employment, immigration, HIV/AIDS, prisoners' rights and elderlaw. The
Criminal Practice provides representation in criminal trials and appeals as well as parole revocation defense hearings. The
Juvenile Rights Practice provides representation for children who appear before the Family Court in matters involving
child protective proceedings, j uvenile delinquency, and PINS (people in need of supervision) and in appellate cases
involving children. Based on the experience and expertise of the staff, the Society is frequently asked to testify before
federal, State, and City Council legislative committees and comment on federal, State, and City regulations and
procedures. The Society also operates extensive "know your rights" community outreach programs for clients and
community-based organizations as well as Continuing Legal Education programs for Society staff, pro bono volunteers,
and the legal community in general.
More than 1,000 volunteer lawyers and paralegals from leading private law firms and corporate law departments are
participating in the Society's pro bono program that further leverages the Society's resources to enable greater numbers of
clients to receive legal assistance. The Society's pro bono program focuses on partnering teams of Legal Aid lawyers
handling particular kinds of cases throughout the Civil, Juvenile Rights, and Criminal Practices with groups of private
attorneys at 70 law offices that have set up pro bono proj ects in those same areas.

For veterans and their families, we are working to transform lives through positive, meaningful improvement in access to
services, education and policy reform. Through a comprehensive array of services, we offer educational programs, crisis
counseling tailored to the specific needs of veterans and their families, as well as an alliance of nearly 1,000 stakeholders
brought together to identify the unmet needs of veterans and promote policy and practice changes. The Veterans Crisis
Line connects veterans in crisis and their families and friends to a supportive counselor through a confidential hotline,
online chat, or text 24/7/365.
Stories We Carry, launched by MHA-NYC in 2014, will start a national conversation about the impact of war, providing a
live forum for veterans, their families and civilian members of the community to share personal stories in a safe space free
of j udgment and politics.

Stories We Carry will create a community that fosters a sense of shared responsibility, service, and support.

Veterans Mental Health Coalition (VMHC)
MHA-NYC has a strong voice in creating a better future for veterans, but when that voice is combined with the nearly
1,000 stakeholders who make up the Veterans Mental Health Coalition of NYC (VMHC), the chorus for change is
powerful. Thats why the Center founded the VMHC to highlight the mental health needs of veterans, service members
and their families. Before the VMHC, the community as a whole was unprepared to meet the needs of veterans. Now, the
Coalition works diligently to identify unmet needs, promote policy and practice changes, and educate members on state-
of-the-art practices to serve veterans and their families.

MHA-NYC, in partnership with Essential Learning, a national leader in online behavioral health education, is proud to

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be a high-functioning
alcoholic in need of recovery services. Must have been sober for
72 hours prior to admission.

Type(s) of Payment Accepted: As a private pay facility, our current fee structure is $5,900 for twenty-one days.
Additional weeks (7 days) are $1,600. Visa/Master Card accepted.

Since 1977, the year we first opened the doors of our Catskill Mountain farmhouse to recovering alcoholics, Margaret and
I have remained committed to the same basic philosophy for helping alcoholics and persons addicted to other drugs. The
cornerstone of this philosophy has always been the Twelve-Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

During their twenty-one day stay, guests at The New Direction are required to attend an A.A. meeting each night of the
week, and upon leaving, every guest is provided with the name and phone number of an A.A. member in their home area
to use as a contact. One very simple message is stressed here: People who make a commitment to A.A. tend to stay sober.

Guests attend daily in-house group sessions conducted both mornings and afternoons by our staff counselors, each
session lasting approximately two hours. Guests are also afforded ample opportunities for individual counseling sessions
during their stay.

Because we each feel it is vitally important to include family members of the alcoholic in our program, we encourage
visits by family members every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Beginning at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, we conduct a
seminar for the family which includes an explanation of the disease concept of alcoholism as well as an introduction to
the Al-Anon Family program.

Our commitment to, and experience with, high-functioning alcoholics and addicts, many of whom are engaged in
stressful occupations, has given The New Direction a special niche in todays field of alcoholism recovery. While we
recognize the proper role of larger, more institutionalized facilities, we have found our effectiveness is a result of our
willingness to stay small to stay very much a family in spirit.

We have built our reputation by continuing to offer the recovering person a highly structured, rigorous educational
program at very affordable rates, along with generous portions of home-cooked food, peaceful surroundings, and a warm
supportive atmosphere.

Pathways to Housing was founded by Dr. Sam Tsemberis in
1992, and is widely credited as being the originator of the
Housing First model of addressing homelessness among people
with psychiatric disabilities.

The Housing First model is simple: provide housing first, and then combine that housing with supportive treatment
services in the areas of mental and physical health, substance abuse, education, and employment. Housing is provided in
apartments scattered throughout a community. This scattered site model fosters a sense of home and self-
determination, and it helps speed the reintegration of Pathways clients into the community.

The Pathways model has been remarkable successful in addressing chronic homelessness. Since its founding, Pathways
has housed more than 600 people in New York alone, and the program maintains an 85% retention rate even amongst
those individuals not considered housing ready by other programs.

In addition to its New York headquarters, Pathways to Housing now has program offices in Washington DC,
Philadelphia and Vermont, and the Pathways Housing First model has been replicated in more than 40 cities across the
United States, as well as in Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal.

In 2009, Pathways to Housing received three prestigious federal stimulus grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration to build new programs in new communities. SAMHSA is the agency charged with
improving rehabilitative services to reduce the impacts of substance abuse and mental illness.

difficult time finding a career path, vocational training and educational counseling are available. There is a business
center with a state-of-the-art computer lab, and also a relaxing lounge area renovated specifically for Military Services

The mission of Praxis Housing Initiatives is to bring about sustainable transformation in the lives of chronically homeless
persons with HIV/AIDS, mental health issues, chemical dependency, and other special needs. We do this by providing
clean, safe housing, and support services that lead to recovery, stability, and ultimately, independence.

From its inception, Praxis set out to deliver unparalleled supportive services and to prove that indigent homeless people
could receive both housing and expert assistance at costs comparable to or lower than what the city customarily spent on
(substandard) shelter alone.

Over the last 15 years, with skilled staff, access to community resources, healthcare, peer support activities, and
permanent housing placement, Praxis residences have been an anchor for over 15,000 homeless New Yorkers. We have
proven that there is hope and that real change can happen.

As two wars draw to a close, the roughly 1.6 million veterans who have fought for America will soon find themselves in

We do this in two ways: holding semi-annual events, and our new Ship-a-Suit program. We hold events about twice a
year, where we have local veterans come in, and we fit them for a professional business suit. These events have been
widely successful, having even held one at Citi Field. Our newest addition to our organization has been the Ship-a-Suit
program, where we reach out to veterans all over the country, and ship them a suit and shirt in their size, as well as a tie,
so they can feel confident and professional at j ob interviews. Were also had the opportunity to partner with businesses,
such as Lord & Taylor and Morgan Stanley, to provide every veteran we meet with a suit.

Open in 1988, the mission of Venture House is to enable members
to lead successful lives in the community by providing
opportunities for meaningful work, sustaining relationships,
secure housing, adequate income, access to medical care, and
opportunities to pursue educational and personal goals. Over
900 members belong to Venture House with about 80 of them
attending the clubhouse daily.

The Clubhouse operates on the philosophy that working is rehabilitative. Program activities center around work
opportunities within the clubhouse as well as outside in the community. The clubhouse operates with members and staff
working along-side each other in the spirit of partnership in the various units: Administrative Services, Kitchen and
Dining Room, Housing and Maintenance and Employment. Shared responsibilities include making lunch, recording the
daily attendance, producing the newsletter, collecting rents, running the member bank, tutoring, tracking wages and
much, much, more. Participation is voluntary. Members choose how they want to be involved. The clubhouse not only
provides a place to belong where one is valued and respected, but is also a place where one is needed. Everyones
contributions make Venture House run.

Beyond working in one of the Clubhouse Units, members can choose to work in paying j obs in the community. The
Transitional Employment (TE) program provides members with part -time, entry-level positions that last from six to nine
months in ordinary work environments. There are a wide range of positions available in New York City that make TE
appealing and accessible for all members. The only requirement is a desire to work. In a TE position, members can gain
experience, build confidence and test their skills and interest in a supported work environment. Currently 15 members
are working in TE positions with 8 different employers. Venture House also assists members who seek competitive
employment. Presently, 16 work independently with support from the clubhouse community.

Living in stable, permanent housing is a primary goal for many members. Venture House operates a supported housing
program that provides subsidized scattered site apartments throughout the Borough of Queens for up to 92 members.
Members choose where they want to live, sign their own leases and pay 30% of their income towards the rent. Venture
House subsidizes the remainder of the rent and is available to provide assistance if requested. Currently, there are no
openings in the housing program.

Venture House is also a place to come to relax, talk with friends, or participates in planned activities. We are open for
socializing and recreational activities during the evenings, weekends and all holidays. The evening/weekend social
program operates from 4:30 pm to 8 pm Monday thru Thursday and from 11 am 4 pm on Saturday, Sunday and all
holidays.

Vets Prevail is an online resource provided by the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that was built in
collaboration with the Veterans Health Administration, the
National Science Foundation, and leading mental health
researchers and clinicians. This one of a kind program model is
easily accessible from any internet connection and provides evidence-based early interventions to individuals who
otherwise may not be able or willing to engage with traditional avenues for care.

Vets Prevail is an innovative new online mental health tool that is tailored specifically to todays Veterans, helping ease
transition to life after military service and tackle post deployment re-adj ustment challenges. Employing cutting edge
technology, the program creates engagement through dynamically tailored interactions. The core content is rooted in
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the standard of care for treatment of symptoms related to PTSD and depression. The
program incorporates interactive multimedia e-learning lessons, peer support, diagnostic self-assessments, and
proprietary software for scheduling and tracking user activities, thoughts, and feelings. Vets Prevail was developed
through the collaboration of mental health researchers and clinicians at top universities and hospitals with the backing of
the National Science Foundation and The McCormick Foundation.
Change and recovery is possible, and Vets Prevail is a tool that can help fulfill this promise for our returning Veterans. It
is a best-in-class, scalable solution with capacity and reach far beyond any traditional mental health offering, at a fraction
of the cost.

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be a homeless veteran, or a
veteran at risk of becoming homeless.

Since World War I, Volunteers of America has provided direct

support and respect these men and women need and deserve.

In addition to addressing their housing needs, we provide a full range of services focusing on both acute and long-term
issues, from crisis intervention and counseling, to budget management, employment counseling and recreation. With
sensitivity to the complex and individual struggles of veterans, staff also coordinates primary medical care, including

Eligibility Requirement(s): Must be an individual in need of pro
bono legal services.

We leverage the good will, resources, and talents of New York City's leading law firms to provide pro bono legal
assistance to the citys neediest residents.

In 2012, over 800 attorneys from 44 of the most well respected law firms in New York City volunteered through our
proj ects, providing pro bono assistance to more than 3,000 low-income New Yorkers.

Through our proj ects, VOLS' staff and volunteer attorneys help all kinds of New Yorkers solve difficult legal problems
that have significant consequences for them and for their families. We help mothers in prison maintain visitation with
their children. We provide senior citizens with advance health care directives and other essential life-planning
documents. We help immigrant high school students resolve immigration issues so that they can work legally and/or
attend college. We help children with asthma by forcing landlords to eradicate mold and to repair crumbling plaster.

We strive to provide pro bono legal assistance when and where it will be most accessible to our clients, in settings familiar
to them, instead of requiring people in desperate need to come to us. We do this by working closely with hospitals,
schools, senior centers, and other community organizations, and integrating pro bono legal assistance into the array of
services these organizations already provide.

Our proj ects enable our volunteers to reach New Yorkers who need civil legal services. Through these proj ects, our
attorneys provide pro bono assistance that helps reunite families, stave off evictions, resolve immigration issues, win vital
government benefits, and start small businesses.

Our award-winning Proj ect Directors are experts in their fields. Two have received the prestigious Legal Services Award
for outstanding service to low-income New Yorkers. Their commitment to their proj ects and deep knowledge of the
issues allows them to provide pro bono attorneys with enormous support. For example, Ellen Rosenberg, the Legal
Consultant for our Incarcerated Mothers Law Proj ect, has over 20 years' experience in family law. She provides training
for prospective volunteers and accompanies volunteers on monthly visits to a prison in Bedford Hills, NY.

Many of our proj ects, such as the Elderly Proj ect, have existed for more than a decade. Others, such as the Unemployment
Insurance Advocacy Proj ect, were created more recently to meet a growing need. All are designed to enable pro bono
lawyers from law firms to provide legal assistance when and where low-income New Yorkers need it most.

The Program for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Studies ("PATSS")
is a specialized program within Weill Cornell Medical College's
Department of Psychiatry. Led by JoAnn Difede, Ph.D., a pioneer in the field of anxiety disorders, PATSS offers a state of
the art approach to patient care that brings innovation to tried-and-true therapeutic techniques. Our expertise lies in the
treatment of trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety-related disorders, such as
panic disorder and phobias, and mood-related disorders, such as depression. We conduct research on ways to improve
the treatment of PTSD with those who have experienced trauma in everyday life and while serving in the military.

For many years, the program has provided psychological consultation to the William Randolph Hearst Burn Center at
New York-Presbyterian Hospital and has implemented a number of research-based clinical interventions designed
specifically for individuals suffering from burn inj uries, terrorist attacks, motor vehicle accidents, interpersonal violence,
and life threatening illnesses. Through the Burn Center, we developed relationships with both the Fire Department of
New York (FDNY) and disaster rescue and recovery workers. Through our work with these groups, PATSS has become
recognized as an unparalleled institution in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Our program greatly expanded following the events of September 11th. At that time, we began a psychological screening
and treatment program for a corporation's employees who were exposed to the attacks themselves and/or were involved
in the cleanup of the destruction left behind. We continue to screen rescue and recovery employees, as well as provide
psychological treatment to employees affected by 9/11 and its aftermath. We currently have WTC clinical and research
programs designed to treat individuals with symptoms related to the September 11, 2001. Additionally, we developed
a Wellness Program to provide preventive stress management to hospital employees.

Through our clinical research programs, we strive to develop and implement state-of-the art treatment in dialogue with
other professionals specializing in the treatment of trauma. We offer treatment through these protocols as well as through
individual therapy.

Through our research studies and clinical services, we have been treating individual military service members since 2005.
We have collaborated with military mental health providers at DoD facilities around the country to train mental health
providers on the use of Virtual Iraq. Additionally, PATSS offers a series of Psychological Health and Wellness Workshops
to active duty and veteran service members.

Among PATSS's maj or educational initiatives is our training of Department of Defense (DoD) clinicians to conduct PTSD
treatment using virtual reality exposure therapy with active duty military personnel returning from OIF/OEF. We have
multiple collaborative relationships with U.S. Military Hospitals and Army and Air Force clinicians across the United
States. Our role in these collaborations has been to develop novel treatments for PTSD, train clinicians conducting the
treatment with active duty military personnel returning from OIF/OEF, and provide ongoing consultation.

housing services.

Westhab offers community-based solutions to poverty by building and preserving affordable housing and by engaging
local stakeholders in community development activities. Our comprehensive methods include producing housing to suit
the entire spectrum of affordable housing need and reaching out to community members and municipal officials so that
together we can address issues of shared concern.

In 2014, Westhab formed a strategic alliance with the Washingtonville Housing Alliance to provide housing and services
in Mamaroneck. The Washingtonville Housing Alliance was formed in 1980 to improve the housing conditions of low
and moderate-income residents in Mamaroneck.

Westhab works with local residents, businesses, government, and other nonprofits to improve the quality of life in the
underserved neighborhoods where we build and preserve affordable housing. Based on the expressed needs of
community members we provide free programs and services that enable individuals and families to gain skills and
knowledge necessary to achieve their goals. In an effort to strengthen the community as a whole, we bring neighbors
together to identify and prioritize local needs, connect with local leaders and develop solutions. We then help to marshal
additional resources through collaborations with government and other nonprofit entities. We have obtained county,
state, and federal funding to address issues such as public safety, open space, public services, and local business
development.

Westhab currently owns and/or manages 1,000 units of affordable housing in Westchester County and New York City,
including multi-family rental; homeownership; shelters for families and singles; and supportive housing for disabled
veterans, seniors, homeless families, people in recovery from addiction, people living with mental illness, and victims of
domestic violence. While our portfolio is largely comprised of Westhab-developed and owned housing, we also provide
property and facilities management services for affordable housing developed and owned by for -profits and by other
non-profit companies. We have a long history of maintaining quality properties that are well integrated with their
surroundings and we make every effort to be responsive landlord and neighbor.

The New York State Department of Health has designated Woodhull's Emergency Department a Center of Excellence for
the care of sexual assault victims. Survivors of sexual assault are immediately triaged and brought to a separate forensic
suite. They are accompanied at all times by a specially trained Sexual Assault Advocate who provides comfort and
support. Within one hour of arrival, the survivor is seen and assessed by a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner. The patient
is offered medication to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. All patients receive follow up services to
ensure ongoing care.

Rapid HIV Testing
The Emergency Department offers rapid HIV testing for patients over the age of 18. Specially trained Public Health
Advisors perform pre- and post-test counseling. If the test is positive, an additional confirmatory blood test is drawn and

I received my PhD in Clinical Health Psychology from Yeshiva
University. Previously, I worked for 10 years in education as a
learning specialist for students who were troubled or had learning differences. I spent my post-doctoral training at the VA
Medical Center, meeting extensively with veterans to overcome the pain of war and the stress of parenting, employment,
and relationships. I currently work with both individuals and couples in my office on the Upper West Side.
During therapy, we will recognize and build on your strengths, honing them to help you become more confident in
dealing with the difficulties of daily life. We will grow to understand your feelings and experiences with sensitivity and
empathic inquiry.
Together we can explore your emotional unease and, when r elevant, its connection to your physical health. Coping with
anger, disappointment, loss, loneliness, trauma or other challenges will be part of the unfolding process of development
and change. The goals will be to illuminate and transform painful or unsatisfying experiences, and to become more fully
the person you want to be. My j ob is to work tirelessly with you towards those goals.
