Every person who enters our program is unique, and so each plan for care and support is tailored to evaluate and address their most urgent needs on an economic, physical, emotional/psychological and vocational level. Our thorough intake process begins with a psychosocial assessment that cuts to the heart of the causes of homelessness. Building on a relationship of trust and compassion, we help our clients set goals and connect to the support they need to meet them. This could mean simply some help with finding another job after loss of one, or as complex as navigating paperwork to qualify for social security/services; connections to health services; support with addiction recovery; or legal issues related to domestic violence. Our dedicated case managers use a combination of compassion and creativity to find ways to empower clients to meet their goals, including finding housing, but also maintaining stability in the long term. Identifying strengths and building confidence is an essential part of the process of helping clients move forward, step by step, towards greater independence. While securing housing is a huge step forward, it also introduces new challenges. Support continues during this tender transition to ensure that clients have the resilience to maintain their independence and continue to make progress on their goals. Post-housing support is a critical phase, since many people are only emotionally ready to benefit from access to life-skills education, financial literacy, career training and mental health once they are stably housed. Home visits, transportation and child supervision are provided so clients can take care of building their skills and their physical and mental health. It is a slow process that cant be rushed, but is critical to the lasting change that prevents the cycle of poverty and homelessness from repeating itself. 944612 52621 Family Shelter - The Hospitality House is a short term family shelter designed to provide families a place to call home until they can secure permanent housing. Located in a renovated Rockport farmhouse, Hospitality House can accommodate up to 22 individuals at a time, half of whom are often children. We offer a caring, safe environment, balanced with structured programming that keeps clients accountable while supporting the family in moving to independent living. A Case Manager and Housing Navigator support the process of finding housing and moving forward on goals while encouraging peer support. 838325 162102 Youth Programming - Our low barrier youth programming offers tangible support and opportunities for hundreds of youth per year, both at our drop in center and through community outreach, to change the trajectory of their lives. More than half of the youth we currently serve have experienced 4+ adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as a parent with mental health or substance use issues, domestic violence, or an incarcerated parent putting them at a higher risk for negative outcomes in adulthood. The Landing Place is our comprehensive youth program, which provides resources for highly resilient but often marginalized youth who are at high risk for becoming homeless. In cooperation with local schools, we are working to mitigate the impact of multi-generational patterns of adversity caused by poverty, lack of education, ill health, and sometimes even violence and neglect. Our low-barrier drop-in center has continuedd to provide easy access for youth to free food, supplies, and a warm welcome. Youth can connect with trauma-informed adults who provide non-judgmental support with relationships, sexual health, school issues, and other needs. The drop-in center offers enrichment activities, low-barrier mental health services, community service projects, and generally serves as a bridge to school, home, and community. Case management is available to youth through the center and now directly at the local high school. Through our extensive outreach efforts we work with 60 partners to provide a robust community network of support for our youth. As with all of our programsthe basis of trust, respect, dignity and genuine caring and a focus on building confidence based on an individuals strengths is in place. 115915 25160 Housing - In 2025, Our Talbot Avenue affordable housing project will yield 10 units of affordable housing.

Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. It is the opinion of management that Homeworthy has no uncertain positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

General explanation attachment Organizations Mission - The mission of Homeworthy is to break cycles of poverty and homelessness in Midcoast Maine.Summary of Activities - Amidst broken social service and housing systems, Homeworthy innovates to disrupt cyclical poverty and homelessness, focusing on individuals and families strengths, helping achieve sustainable independence; giving the next generation foundations of hope for the future.Nearly a decade ago, we reimagined how homeless services could be delivered to individuals, families, and youth.Through training, lived experience, and community feedback we recognize the importance of building trust, followed by strengths-based, trauma-informed care, delivered with dignity, compassion and respect. We focus on client-specific needs over public funding driven requirements. Many clients arrive traumatized, emotionally hobbled by housing and food insecurity, domestic violence, unresolved physical or mental health issues, and inadequate life-coping abilities. Part III - The Organizations MissionThe people we serve are often caught in a generational loop of poverty and homelessness, wedged between stagnant employment opportunities and soaring housing costs. They need practical resourceshousing, education, transportation, childcare, health and wellness, and educationbut also predictable trust-based relationships, to help them move from crisis to stability. The traditional role of case management is to connect clients to services, but traumatic histories often prevent clients from following through without trusted support by their side. By allowing our case managers to do the right thing for each client along with post-housing support (Aftercare) were seeing a 95%+ success rate of housed clients remaining stable 1+ years later. Once stably housed, this is often where the real work begins as clients seek employment, further education; enter therapy; work on parenting; recover from substance abuse or domestic violence etc. Our commitment to Aftercare services helps stabilize families giving young children a solid foundation. Our programming for high-risk youth (many not homeless yet) rounds out our multigenerational approach to community-wide systemic change helping redirect trajectories so todays teens dont end up as tomorrows homeless or impoverished adults. With one of the oldest populations in the country, Maine children have been a precious resource. However, without stable housing, youth are far more likely to experience additional difficulties on into adulthood. This only exacerbates the economic and opportunity disparities that this region is seeing. Our holistic approach fills a community gap where most services only provide a piece of the puzzle. Beyond helping make connections we then support the followthrough so needs actually get met and progress is made.
