Coming home was granted funds to help provide non-congregate housing for homeless persons most vulnerable to the treachery of Covid-19. These funds called ESG-CV helped to expand upon current case management services of coming home. We conducted outreach and screened potential clients for Covid-19 vulnerability via coordinated assessment. Once a client was deemed to be at risk, we offered them non-congregate hotel placement to help protect them from the virus, and full case management services to help them address their barriers to, and to obtain, permanent housing. This work helped to shelter persons on the streets, decongest existing shelters, build trust with disenchanted people and reduce county homelessness at the same time. We not only placed individuals into non-congregate housing through this program, but with case management and collaboration with voucher programs, have been able to shepherd persons through this program to permanent housing.Diversion- Coming Home partnered with catholic charities to operate the state's Diversion Program in Middlesex County. Diversion/problem-solving is a person-centered, short-term housing intervention that assist households seeking placement in homeless shelters maintain their current housing or identify an immediate and safe housing alternative within their own social network. It is a strengths-based approach that utilizes conversation and empowerment methods to help resolve the household's housing crisis. Through a grant from the department of community affairs, we, collectively, provide intensive case management to homeless persons in the community to find them living accommodations (friends or family) as an alternative to the county shelters. The case managers work with the client for a short time to develop a long-term plan to reach their goal of securing permanent housing.Flex Funding-Coming Home is spearheading the system's participation in Community Solutions. We were challenged this year by them to prioritize the housing of chronic, single "Longstayers," i.e., those who are "Chronically Homeless and have been on our By Name list for at least 6 months. In June 2021, we set a goal to house an average of 3 Longstayers each month through August. COC Agency case managers collectively agreed that the greatest barriers to quick housing placements are: lack of affordable apartments, difficulties in engaging the clients and in gathering documentation needed to secure housing. The case managers believe that with funding for items not covered by other funding sources, they could help clients more quickly. In response, community solutions granted $10,000 to the Coming Home to operate a program for the full COC to remove housing barriers by addressing small ticket items for the clients. We provided agency case managers with prepaid gift cards that could be used to meet immediate needs of their clients, e.g. clothing for a housing interview, minutes on a cell phone. For larger expenses, we reimbursed agencies for expenses Incurred to solve for more costly system barriers, such as apartment holding fees or application and/or document fees, and we created an uber account to provide transportation for clients unable to access other means of transportation in the county. The flex funding program ended in March 2022. The program realized remarkable success. eighty percent (80%) of individuals who utilized flex funding were permanently housed. 827679 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 6 0 false 17 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NJ X Management 7322967975 75 Bayard St 2nd Floor New Brunswick NJ 08901 Eileen O'Donnell Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 125000 0 1250 Andrew Thomas Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Matula Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bridget Kennedy Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Nathanson Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie Schleck Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jon Rabinowtiz Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kathleen Gwozdz Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon Grice Vice Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 125000 1250 1 false false false 0 28784 590612 156735 1170 776131 HUD Coord Assessment 518210 234078 234078 Other Program Fees 900099 28915 28915 262993 -39953 -39953 0 0 0 0 18430 28784 19200 -770 0 0 Miscellaneous Income 900099 10123 10123 10123 1008524 233163 0 127872 127872 0 0 125000 56250 50000 18750 0 576479 469859 90295 16325 0 62448 46836 12490 3122 61293 45970 12259 3064 0 3420 3420 7860 7860 0 0 0 46072 46072 0 5559 4169 1112 278 528 528 0 0 11169 8377 2234 558 0 1720 1720 0 0 0 2220 1665 444 111 Supplies 13389 10042 2678 669 Telephone 9397 7048 1879 470 Printing and Publications 2399 1799 480 120 Professional development 256 256 0 1057081 827679 185935 43467 950794 908168 100718 406643 0 540330 261148 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 142207 102175 1734049 1678134 37034 29676 37034 29676 X 982377 982377 714638 666081 1697015 1648458 1734049 1678134 -48557 X false false false X 688302 844813 963760 1313168 846434 4656477 0 0 688302 844813 963760 1313168 846434 4656477 2434712 2221765 121 80 201 0 0 4656678 0.47710 0.89790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 102175 false Golf Outing 24475 6045 18430 19200 Other Fundraising Events 22739 22739 47214 28784 18430 19200 19200 -770 true 0 0 Housing Assistance 216 127872 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Coming Home is the case management provider to the county's Homeless Hotline.
