The organization's programs benefit individuals in recovery. The Sober House Scholarship Program in which a qualified individual referred to the organization by a clinician or a drug court receives a minimum of one month's free rent at a certified sober home. That month of free rent provides the individual the time to obtain employment and generate the income necessary for them to pay the rent on their own. The sober home provides them with the structure that is necessary for them to succeed. In calendar year 2023 the organization provided subsidies to 62 applicants. There is no way to measure success in the traditional data driven approach. Once they leave the Sober Home, we lose contact with many of them. Relapse if fairly common. Our "accomplishment" is providing them the opportunity. Our Night of Hope is held on the Town Common in Lynnfield, MA. It attracts on average 500 people. The Middle School and High School age children are well represented. We have a short march from the Middle School and proceed to the Town Common. We have two main speakers. One more targeting the parents and the other targeting the youngsters. It's been well received by the community and has been the catalyst for open discussion about the disease. We also support the after school and summer programs at the North Shore Recovery High School as well as support the Ruth Kelly Recovery Home where typically 14 or so mothers in recovery are housed along with their children. 64042 0 0 Carmela A Dalton President 5 0 0 0 Richard P Dalton Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Jonathan Cook Clerk 1 0 0 0 James R Dalton Vice President 5 0 0 0 Stacey Cook Vice President 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MA Richard P Dalton 18 Partridge Lane Lynnfield MA 019402560 6179224000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 3284 2400 17888 11145 23175 57892 0 3284 2400 17888 11145 23175 57892 57892 57892 330846 X Trivia Night 104691 0 104691 0 0 0 12723 10187 13891 0 0 104691 0 104691 0 0 0 12723 10187 13891 36801 67890 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 - This amount is the sober home rent payments made on behalf of participants in recovery as well as supportive services.
