NCST draws upon an evidence-based, trauma informed approach to violence reduction through prevention and intervention in Newark communities. NCST hires, trains and deploys Outreach Workers and High Risk Interventionists in the South and West Wards of Newark and operates Newark's Trauma Recovery Center, an Eviction Prevention Team, a school-based Safe Passage Program and a Hospital Based Violence Intervention Program as well as a Victim Services Department. NCST recently launched an Overdose Response Team.High Risk InterventionThe High Risk Intervention (HRI) team's primary responsibility is to respond to community based violence incidents based on referral from the community or law enforcement. HRI connects those engaged in violence to supportive counseling, crisis intervention assessment and mediation, referrals and resource information in order to restore peace and avoid arrest and incarceration. NCST employs six (6) High Risk Interventionists and has responded to over 550 Dispatches YTD. The High Risk Intervention team has grown tremendously, increasing our capacity from 6 trained public safety professionals to now 24 Public safety professionals.The High-risk Interventionist involves mediating conflicts and resolving disputes peacefully. The team continues to play a crucial role in mitigating tensions and preventing escalation in the city of Newark. The High Risk Interventionist has been actively engaged in high-risk interventionist initiatives aimed at addressing and mitigating potential challenges within the community. Focusing on targeted outreach and support, NCST HRI now supports the entire city of Newark. Hospital Based Violence Intervention Program (HVIP)NCST's Hospital Violence Intervention Program (HVIP) is a hospital based approach to intervene, prevent and set the victim of violence on a different path from retaliation and/or revictimization. NCST has three (5) Community Health Workers (CHW) , one (1), one (1) Social Worker High Risk Interventionist (HRI) and one (1) Project Manager (PM) that engages individuals that have been hospitalized, offering wraparound services (Trauma recovery, relocation, case management and victim assistance). This year, there have been 137 consents into Newark's HVIP. NCST recently launched the Southward Hospital Violence Intervention Program, a collaborative effort with Beth Israel Hospital. This initiative marks a significant expansion of our commitment to community well-being and violence reduction.Our ongoing partnership with University Hospital still exists. We have forged a learning partnership with Beth Israel Hospital to implement the Southward Hospital Violence Intervention Program. This collaborative effort allows us to extend our services beyond the hospital walls and directly into the community. This year we spent a lot of dedicated time informing BI leadership team about the Hospital Alliance for Violence Intervention and community lead strategies to address violence. This was intentional as we needed to establish a trusted working relationship with BI. Our program operates exclusively outside the hospital, demonstrating our dedication to reaching individuals within their neighborhoods. By doing so, we aim to address the root causes of violence and healthcare disparities at the community level.Safe PassageNCST provides Safe Passage at schools in areas with hot spots of violence. Outreach Workers are deployed in teams at key exit and entry points of the school, bus stops, stores and intersections where youth congregate in and around the school. NCST's Safe Passage currently serves 20 schools in Newark. The Safe Passage Team also leads weekly community walks in different neighborhoods that may have struggles with violence, and the team has led 160 Community Walks. Safe passage workers also have a caseload of youth and young adults supporting them to reach short term safety goals that allows students to go to school safely and return home safely without incidents amongst their school and community peers. Safe passage facilitates conflict resolution and mediation efforts to address disputes within the community, aiming to prevent escalation and contribute to a peaceful neighborhood environment.Victim ServicesThrough NCST's Victim Services Department, skilled Outreach Workers work individually and as a team to prevent community-based violence. We help residents with Hardship Assistance, Life Management Skills, Social Service Assistance, Wellness Support, Legal Support, Crime Survivor Support Services, Employment/Education Referrals and more. NCST employs four (4) Case Managers who supported 256 mentees from August 2021-2022 and assisted victims in the amount of $65,739.45 through 50 applications to the Victims of Crime Compensation Office.Trauma Recovery CenterNCST's TRC expands delivery of clinical services to underserved traumatized populations. We have created a safe space in our community for crime survivors to receive mental health treatment, advocacy, and victim services. The TRC presently has 7 clinicians, 2 outreach workers, and 1 intern, totaling 11 staff members. Given our history as a strong community-based organization, NCST is uniquely positioned to navigate the nuances of service delivery to a population that has been or currently overlooked and underserved by traditional institutional agencies. NCST staff is adept at helping victims through these processes. There have been 202 TRC clients served by YTD since its inception two years ago.Overdose Response TeamNCST's overdose response team improves opioid use disorder care and reduces overdose mortality in Newark. Each engagement ORT staff has with patients and community members encourages harm reduction practices, often including distribution of harm reduction materials. So in addition to literally saving lives during an overdose response, the education and access to harm reduction supplies and services allows for capacity building with the community. NCST ORT hosts a monthly stakeholder meeting in order to elevate systemic barriers for people living with OUD and, ideally, collectively resolve them. YTD NCST has coordinated 85 dispatch calls with University Hospital , reversed 44 overdoses and distributed 873 Harm reduction kits. 4210703 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 67 0 153 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Angela Grigoryan 9733991003 915 South 16th Street Newark NJ 07108 Aqeela Sherrills Chairman & President 40.00 X X 370000 0 0 Tawana Bivins-Rosenbaum Chief Operating Officer 40.00 X X 134688 0 0 Andrew Rothman Director and Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ramid Brown Director and Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 David Muhammad Director and Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Baye Adolfo-Wilson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Monique Swift Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Lena Miller Director and Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Frank Quintero Director and Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Zavala Salomon Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daamin Durdin Executive Director 40.00 X 89854 0 0 Elizabeth Ruebman Director of Policy 40.00 X 275000 0 0 Latrina Kelly-James Director of TTA 40.00 X 140000 0 0 Deysi Maury Chief Compliance Officer 40.00 X 91825 0 0 Solomon Middleton-Williams Deputy Director 40.00 X 86835 0 0 Teneishae Coleman Chief Financial Officer Oct-Dec 27.00 X 39559 0 0 1227761 0 0 4 0 1 0 0 2229871 4014502 6244373 Safe Passage Program 611600 152546 152546 152546 1 1 6396920 152546 0 1 X 1001700 1001700 25788 25788 1227760 356765 696620 174375 2214803 1946424 268379 67583 44119 23464 278080 217579 49447 11054 54659 54659 875289 326452 548837 15767 15767 43037 43037 11424 11424 111699 39581 72118 108186 38700 69486 62671 46202 16469 7221 7221 7041 5281 1760 63771 5583 58188 Program Supplies 156529 156529 6333008 4210703 1921109 201196 2190148 1968748 1025489 1506100 11669 42722 0 3600 338924 7041 0 331883 3258359 3822000 31996 42583 251223 237919 31996 531725 X 1094451 985256 2131912 2305019 3226363 3290275 3258359 3822000 63912 0 X 0 0 1 1 1 X 403098 1518976 1797216 5336276 6244374 15299940 500 59672 11050 152546 223768 403098 1519476 1856888 5347326 6396920 15523708 0 0 0 15523708 1 1 1 1 403098 1519476 1856888 5347326 6396921 15523709 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 54400 54400 245600 3149 242451 38924 3892 35032 331883 6426769 29849 29849 6396920 0 6396920 6362857 29849 29849 6333008 0 6333008 1 Clinton Hill Community Action 407 Hawthorne Avenue Newark NJ 07112 842816101 501(c)(3) 212700 0 support their programs Ironbound Community Corporation 319 Elm Street Newark NJ 07105 221916086 501(c)(3) 550000 0 support their programs Power Shift Network 2002 14th Street NW Suite 104 73116 Washington DC 20056 455616367 501(c)(3) 70000 0 support their programs 5 emergency rent assistance 25788 Part I, Line 2: We only give financial support to organizations that we are very familiar with, and whose purposes align with ours.
