TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Mission:Care for the Homeless fights homelessness by delivering high-quality and client-centered healthcare, human services and shelter to homeless individuals and families, and by advocating for policies to ameliorate, prevent and end homelessness.

No matter how old or how young, CFH believes that our clients deserve the highest quality healthcare, to help ensure they are able to lead healthy lives.

At family shelter clinics such as the one at Springfield Gardens Family Inn in Queens, children like Johari are able to get check-ups, immunizations and medication regardless of their parents’ ability to pay. Staff like Ramonita will get them healthy and keep them healthy as they continue to grow.

About the Cover:

The 2010 25th Anniversary Care for the Homeless Annual Report was made possible by a Borough Needs grant from the Manhattan Borough President’s Office.

As we look back over the past twelve months, we were hit by the changes in the economy and in government budgets that largely affect the lives of the poor, disabled and disadvantaged people that Care for the Homeless serves. This current landscape makes it more important than ever that our homeless clients are able to depend on CFH for the high-quality healthcare, shelter and other supportive services they need.

The 2010 Annual Report you are reading also notes the 25th anniversary of Care for the Homeless. While CFH has always faced challenges, the current economic situation that we and many nonprofits face is one of the most difficult in our history. Our programs must continue to be of the highest quality and our clients need to have the support that will help them achieve health and secure housing. Care for the Homeless is committed to meet the challenges that may face us in the future.

Despite a greater need and severe budget challenges, CFH’s accomplishments this year include an expansion at Susan’s Place, our shelter for mentally ill and medically frail homeless women. At the urgent request of City officials, CFH converted office space at the shelter into an additional 20-bed dorm designated for medically frail and elderly clients.

Throughout the agency we have seen continued improvements in the quality of our services. Our expansion to meet increasing needs over the last few years has necessitated CFH’s move to a larger administrative headquarters and the creation of a new strategic plan to be implemented agency-wide. All that we achieve is through the efforts of a dedicated staff, an effective board and the generous public and private support that enable us to provide health care, shelter and social services to homeless people. The determination that our clients receive high-quality services is a hallmark of CFH.

Your willingness to continue to help those less fortunate at a time when many of you are facing economic challenges encourages all of us at CFH in our on-going work.

years of caring

Care for the Homeless (CFH) was established in 1985 under the auspices of the United Hospital Fund as part of the national Health Care for the Homeless Program demonstration project. It was incorporated as an independent nonprofit agency in 1992. In 2004, CFH and the Jerome Avenue Care for the Homeless Housing Development Fund Corporation signed a long-term contract with the New York City Department of Homeless Services to build and operate Susan’s Place, a 200-bed transitional residence with an onsite medical and dental clinic for medically frail and mentally ill homeless women. Susan’s Place opened in 2008.

25 Years of MilestonesNew York City Health Care for the Homeless of the United Hospital Fund becomes the New York site of the national Health Care for the Homeless demonstration project which provided services at soup kitchens in three boroughs.

With federal funding, the project expands services to four boroughs and many more sites, including shelters.

The project receives one of the first Ryan White grants to care for homeless persons with HIV/AIDS.

Care for the Homeless is separately incorporated as a non-profit corporation.

CFH assumes operation of the Kingsbridge Women’s Assessment Center from the City of New York. CFH begins operating an HIV Intensive Case Management Program, funded by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute.

Care for the Homeless receives federal funding to provide oral health services for homeless people at several sites in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Also, a grant from the van Ameringen Foundation helps CFH establish the Pediatric Mental Health Program to provide children’s mental health services at three family residences in the Bronx.

Susan Neibacher, CFH’s Founder and first Executive Director, passes away. The Board of Directors name the shelter that CFH was developing, Susan’s Place, in her honor.

Susan’s Place, our 180-bed transitional residence, opens to serve mentally ill and medically frail homeless women.CFH also receives Article 28 licensure; opens first medical clinic at Susan’s Place.

CFH expands to operate nine New York State licensed medical clinics (including the clinic at Susan’s Place).

In response to record levels of homelessness, Susan’s Place increases its capacity to serve 200 residents. 2010

Founder Susan Neibacher In 1985, Susan Neibacher became project director for the New York City site of the National Health Care for the Homeless demonstration project which was later incorporated as Care for the Homeless in 1992. As Executive Director of CFH, she integrated other initiatives into the core health care program to meet the unmet healthcare needs of the homeless population. This included counseling and case management for homeless people with HIV/AIDS, mental health care for homeless families and children, and oral health services featuring portable dental units and advocacy and education for homeless people. In 2008, the Susan L. Neibacher Care for the Homeless Women’s Center, or Susan’s Place, opened in the Bronx, a testament to her vision and drive to help homeless people in New York City.

Medical Services and Sites Homeless people fall victim to more illnesses than the general population, but unlike most people, they are unable to afford even the simplest medical services. It is well-documented that homeless people are high utilizers of emergency departments and when they show up they are usually sicker than the general population. The best way to address this problem is to provide accessible medical care with preventive services and health education. CFH’s health care teams travel throughout four boroughs of New York City to 36 sites that include shelters, soup kitchens, drop-in centers and two

street outreach programs, delivering services where homeless individuals and families congregate. Those services include primary health care, oral health and health education services as well as a full range of social services such as mental health evaluation and treatment, adherence services, substance abuse and alcohol counseling and intensive case management. In 2010, CFH, in partnership with the Institute for Family Health and Montefiore Family Health Center, served over 9,000 homeless men, women and children.

Health Education The goal of the CFH Health Education Services is to provide a wide variety of primary and secondary prevention activities and health information to homeless individuals and families. The program seeks to encourage and support client understanding, motivation and empowerment, and to promote positive health behavior change. Health Educators work closely with our social work, case management and medical staff to create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable and are open to positive exchanges. Health Education enhances the provision of health information by conducting formal group interventions and individual counseling sessions dealing with a range of health topics relevant to our clients’ needs.

Health Educators encourage clients to LOWER risk factors in diseases such as:

asthma managementpregnancy prevention

smoking cessationstress management

healthy nutritional choicesdaily physical activity

More than just a shelter to sleep in at night, Susan’s Place offers aerobics and wellness classes that help residents learn the importance of healthy lifestyle habits. With the addition of a gym, residents are able to exercise and establish a daily discipline in their lives, something they will be able to carry with them once they are living on their own.

In 2008, CFH made its largest expansion to date by opening Susan’s Place, our 180-bed shelter located at 1921 Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, to meet the needs of mentally ill and medically frail homeless women. In response to an urgent request from New York City officials for help in accommodating the growing number of homeless women, Susan’s Place itself expanded, converting office space into an additional 20-bed dorm designated for medically frail and elderly clients. In 2010, a gym with exercise equipment purchased with a grant from the 41°-74° Club was added to the facility. Susan’s Place contains a licensed medical and dental clinic to treat residents and homeless adults referred from nearby shelters. In only two years, over 300 residents have been placed in appropriate housing.

At Susan’s Place, each of the dormitories are named after an empowered woman that changed the world. The women at Susan’s Place are reminded every time they walk through the doors of their potential to influence and change their world.

Classic Re-RunsIn 2010, the boutique in Susan’s Place opens its doors

Every Tuesday and Thursday, Classic Re-Runs, the non-cash boutique at Susan’s Place opens its doors. Here, the residents redeem vouchers for shoes, coats and other clothing items that they earn by using the services that Care for the Homeless makes available to them that promote health and independence. The concept of Classic Re-Runs was developed by the health education team as way to encourage and motivate the residents. Donations of gently worn clothing from supporters keep the boutique freshly stocked to the enjoyment of the residents. The boutique is staffed by residents and this volunteer experience may help them find employment once they get re-housed.

Homeless people, specifically those in Harlem, know what they’re going to get when Rudolph Jones and Rodriguez Burks walk up. They know they’re going to get a helping hand, maybe some sandwiches, and if they haven’t heeded to their requests for getting help, ‘the look.’ “They see us coming and all I do is give them ‘the look,’ that tells them ‘Yeah, I see you. How are you doing? Why haven’t you gotten the help we told you was out there for you?’” Jones says. Both Jones and Burks were, at one point, homeless in the city, and

through utilizing the services they now preach about, both not only found their way out of homelessness, but are now members of the Consumer Advisory Board (CAB). “I came to CFH five years ago and it’s been so educational and helpful. The schooling CFH brings to us is very beneficial,” Burks said. “Now we’re participating in outreach, follow-ups, AIDS walks, and fundraising to help people who are now where we used to be.” Burks says he and Jones are blessed to have that kind of relationship with people on the street. “Everywhere we go, people don’t hesitate to ask for help,” he says. “We’ve built up that trust. But, homeless folks know they’ve got to use the info and get help in order to continue to get food from us. They know when they see us coming what we’re about.” What they’re about is helping homeless people in New York find shelter and get their lives back on track. The biggest obstacle, they say, is a lack of education about what services are available. “If you get one person motivated, they’ll spread the word,” Jones said. “They will tell their friends and their group and more people will be motivated to use the services CFH has available for them.”

Policy and Government Relations at CFH

CFH is a dynamic force addressing the policies and programs that affect the homeless people we work with on a daily basis. Our Director of Policy and Government Relations and our Executive Director are leaders in local and national discussions concerning homeless health care policy, working with coalitions such as Homeless Services United, Medicaid Matters New York, Community Health Care Association of New York State, and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council.

On May 13, 2010, CFH marked its twenty-fifth year as a homeless health care provider in New York City by hosting a summitat Baruch College open to the public: Future Challenges in Homeless Health Care. Made possible by a Borough Needs Grant from the Office of the Manhattan Borough President, summit participants were privileged to hear from a panel of health care policy makers and experts that included Bruce Vladeck, John Lozier, Judith Samuels, Anne Marie Costello and Aviva Goldstein. Topics of note were “Health Reform and Vulnerable Populations,” “Needs of Homeless Single Adults,” and “Homeless Children: Health and Mental Health Today, Challenges for Tomorrow.”

On Wednesday, October 27, 2010, an enthusiastic audience at Comix turned out to celebrate an evening of comedy benefiting Care for the Homeless. Led by David Florman, Chair, the 25th Anniversary Gala Committee worked tirelessly to promote this exciting event. A big round of applause goes to our co-chairs: Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and Roberta Reardon, and to all the performers Scott Blakeman, Tom Cotter, Judy Gold, Cathy Ladman, Sherri Shepherd and Jimmy Tingle who donated their talents to help raise money for health care services for CFH’s homeless clients. The event’s success was also due in part to our very first Text-to-Pledge campaign.

After only a year of training, CFH Board Member Jim Mutton competed in the Chicago Marathon, running in the unusually hot 86-degree weather, with blazing sunshine and no shade. “Around mile 18, your whole body starts to shut down from fatigue and exhaustion and every part of you is saying, ‘Quit!’” Mutton said. “But somehow, you push on, determined to finish.” Finishing in 5 hours and 33 minutes, Mutton’s determination paid off. He was able to raise $1,381 for Care for the Homeless and Project Renewal.
