2012 ANNUAL REPORT

WE AREROSIE’S PLACE

1

Rosie’s Place was founded thirty-eight years ago by people coming together to create

change. This spirit of volunteerism, collaboration and unconditional welcome continues

today at Rosie’s Place. It fills our lobby, dining room, classrooms and Wellness Center.

It stocks the shelves of our Food Pantry and makes the beds in our Overnight Shelter.

It is loud and clear in our Public Policy work on Beacon Hill. It is personified by our

Advocates working to connect guests to resources. It is embodied in our volunteers’ and

partners’ generosity of spirit. Thank you for being an important part of the many who

make Rosie’s Place such a vibrant and vital community.

WE AREROSIE’S PLACE

Rosie’s Place is a community that is easy to join, and hard to leave behind. The women stay in our thoughts. Their words and tears and smiles become part of what Boston means. We find that being a part of Rosie’s Place changes us, and we take that change everywhere we go. We become a part of a community—and it becomes part of us.

At Rosie’s Place, you experience a cascade of emotions, one right after the other. You see a guest from our Overnight program, who never got a Christmas present when she was growing up. The expression of joy on her face when she shows you her present from Rosie’s Place is indescribable. You talk with a woman who lost her mom to cancer this year, and is facing her first Thanksgiving alone. The grip of her hand in yours is extraordinary. You serve dinner to a woman who tells you she just found a new apartment and will be moving in next Friday. Her happy news rings in your ears. These are sacred moments. You don’t want to miss them. These are life changing moments. You find that you can’t do without them.

These moments at Rosie’s Place remind us that we are a part of a true whole. By recognizing that we are all more alike than different—staff, guests, volunteers, donors, supporters, friends—we embrace the chance to be our best selves.

DEARFRIENDSRosie’s Place creates a community of hope and success, by providing concrete help to thousands of women each year and by being a loud voice for justice and compassion. This year, we have worked to extend our hand to new women who need us, by extending our service hours until 8 p.m., so working women can use our classrooms, food pantry and advocacy services. We have doubled our outreach staff, so women at risk of losing their homes, or who struggle with mental illness can get the support they need. We have just doubled our housing search capacity, and have launched an outreach van for women who live on the streets, not yet ready to come to us. We are serving more women in our Dining Room, in our Women’s Education Center and in our Advocacy program than ever before. Through our actions, we aim to show what we want our community to be.

I am so proud to be a part of this community, and so glad that you have chosen to join it. Truly, at Rosie’s Place, we are all one.

This dual perspective results in better group decision-making, as our Rosie’s Place experiences put us directly in-touch with guests, staff and other volunteers. This allows for a much more immediate connection to our mission and what it takes to avidly pursue its achievement every day.

I have been attending our board meetings for about ten years and volunteering for even longer. I can tell you that a meeting never passes without a board member calling on their volunteer experience with the guests of Rosie’s Place to help make a point—whether it’s about a budget decision or a policy change. This direct connection is why time and again we have reaffirmed our commitment to a leadership made up of not only the wealthy and influential but those willing to invest their time and heart to advancing the cause of social justice. My fellow Board members recognize—and I know myself—that what we talk about in the board room affects real women—that what we decide affects real people. It’s humbling and it’s powerful. This personal involvement is what keeps all of us—board, staff, volunteers and guests—moving as one in the direction of social justice.

Thank you for investing your support in this unique community that is Rosie’s Place, and for being a part of it. We are grateful for your faith in our work.

Ralph CatalanoPresident of the Board of Directors

In the business world, we often wonder whether CEOs with multi-million dollar compensation packages can understand the needs and motivations of a workforce that earns a fraction of their leaders’ pay. In the much smaller, less-publicized community that is Rosie’s Place, we have, from the onset, taken steps to ensure that our leaders stay connected to the struggles of our guests.

The members of our Board of Directors bring a broad spectrum of experience to their roles but we all have one required qualification: we have been a volunteer at Rosie’s Place. That volunteer experience not only displays a dedication to our mission prior to board service but it also shortens the mental, physical and, most importantly, emotional distance between those responsible for the stewardship of the organization and the women who depend on Rosie’s Place for the programs, services and support that help them in their everyday lives.

Board members have had backgrounds in finance, academics, social work, non-profits, healthcare, the arts, as guests at Rosie’s Place, in the law and other professions; we are also dining room servers, tutors, front-desk fill-ins, Art, ESOL or GED instructors, and committee members. Both types of experience—gained inside and outside of Rosie’s Place—are vital to our effectiveness as a Board.

ADVOCACYUnlike the advocacy services of state-run agencies, at Rosie’s Place our Advocates put no limits on their time or their support. We know that change does not happen on a schedule and we believe that help should not have an expiration date.

Rosie’s Place employs seven full-time Advocates and two part-time Advocates, five of whom are fluent in Spanish, Haitian-Creole, Portuguese or French. Assistance from our Advocates may include help with housing, health and wellness care, educational and employment opportunities, clothing, legal advice, transportation and emergency funds for eviction prevention and prescriptions. Whether a guest needs urgent assistance or long-term help with a complicated issue—our Advocates will be there for her. We never dictate solutions, but rather work collaboratively to identify possible solutions to the tough challenges faced. Our Advocates welcome guests with compassion and offer unconditional help and hope.

SELF-ADVOCACYThe core belief that inspired our Self-Advocacy Initiative is that given the necessary tools, information and encouragement, poor and homeless women can be their own best advocates.

The Self-Advocacy Initiative seeks to engage and empower guests to advocate for themselves. Whether it’s being able to have more informed and productive conversations with a doctor, a landlord or their child’s teacher, we want our

guests to have the confidence to ask questions; if they don’t agree with or understand the answers they get—to know that they have the right and the ability to challenge them.

PUBLIC POLICYWe don’t just educate our guests about the democratic process. We strive to engage and empower them through it.

The Rosie’s Place Public Policy program works to make sure government officials know about our guests and what they need—and that our guests know about government officials, what they can do for them and how they have a say in who is elected. Our Public Policy program does this through its two core goals: to advocate at the state level on issues that directly affect our guests, and to involve and empower guests in making change through the political process.

We recently concluded our third successful legislative campaign which had the goal of strengthening family preservation and timely reunification for families involved with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF). Our top priority was to restore the funding of DCF’s in-home services account back to $44.1 million in FY13. We are proud to report that through our advocacy, the House and the Senate all agreed on a funding level of $44.6 million for this account, slightly higher than our original request.

MAKING STRIDES WITH STEPSIn 2012, we launched our pilot program STEPS (Striving Together for Empowerment and Personal Success), a small community within the larger Rosie’s Place community.

This is a year-long program, which requires that each participant: attend and actively participate in monthly meetings, set personal goals and the benchmarks necessary to achieve them, support others in achieving their goals and report regularly on any progress or pitfalls. Guest response to this offering has been so positive, that we will add two more STEPS groups this year. We have also partnered with local organizations to offer an array of esteem and

community-building programs. We now offer guests: self-defense classes, a support group through Serenity Sisters, a domestic violence survivor support group, iPad training led by other guests, conversation groups among Spanish, Haitian-Creole and English speakers, and volunteer opportunities at Rosie’s Place.

Rather than telling our guests what to do, we provide a safe and supportive community in which they can discover for themselves what they want to do, and how they can best achieve these goals.

FOOD PROGRAMSFood brings people together, especially at Rosie’s Place. Our Dining Room program brings volunteers, guests and staff together, fostering a sense of security and community so that our guests can connect to the services they need.

Poor and homeless women don’t wonder “What will I have for lunch today?” Instead, they ask themselves, “Will I eat today? Can I afford to eat today?” For our guests, sacrifice and suffering is routine. When it comes to paying for necessities such as rent, utilities, food or medication, it’s not a matter of when or how much. It’s a question of which one. Which one can I make do without? And more often than not, hunger is endured in order to stay housed or to pay a utility bill. Serving a nutritious lunch and dinner every day, and offering assistance with groceries—the Food Programs at Rosie’s Place are longstanding and vital nutritional and financial supplements for our guests.

This year, Rosie’s Place’s Dining Room will serve approximately 80,000 nutritionally balanced meals—including soup, an appetizer, a main course and dessert—to women and their children. Slow-cooked soups, fresh fruits and vegetables, low-sodium, low-fat and high-fiber dishes make our lunches and dinners healthy and tasty. True to our mission, we work to ensure our Dining Room is a welcoming place. At Rosie’s Place, we don’t require our guests to line up and wait to receive their meals. Instead, volunteers and dining room staff act as waiters and waitresses to serve them restaurant-style, as our guests. We are committed to

WE ARECOMMUNITYextending this courtesy and kindness to our guests. For many of them, it well may be the only respite in their day.Because many of our guests work during our Dining Room’s meal times and/or have families who are hungry, too, we offer Rosie’s Place Groceries. Through this program, we will welcome 1,800 women each month into our pantry to ‘shop’ among our shelves, choosing 20 to 40 pounds of foods that their families prefer and enjoy.

THE art@rosiesplace PROGRAMFor many years now, art has lived, breathed, sang, painted and performed at Rosie’s Place. We’ve always believed that art is not for an elite few, but art is for all.

Through our unique arts program—art@rosiesplace—we offer our guests art classes and workshops as well as the chance to attend performances and exhibits throughout the community. We offer an average of eight activities per week, for a total of 337 workshops and trips each year. Most workshops span two weeks and are held twice per week for an hour and a half. Other classes such as photography and quilting are offered over the course of six weeks. Class topics include jazz dance, creative writing, abstract art, book club, drawing, oil painting, bookmaking, knitting and storytelling. We also regularly host musical, dance and even stand-up comedy performances in our Dining Room during our dinner service. Art and self-expression build community and self-esteem. Both lead to motivation and change.

OUTREACHRosie’s Place truly sees all poor and homeless women as part of our community—even if they sleep somewhere else, or never set foot in our building.

This year, as part of Rosie’s Place’s three-year Strategic Plan, we will combine our Homelessness Prevention and Friendly Visitor programs to form our new Outreach Initiative. We will also extend our outreach—adding a third arm—a street van. Every weekday evening our new outreach van will cover Dudley Square through Blue Hill Avenue, an area that has largely gone unaddressed by social service agencies. We will bring the resources of Rosie’s Place to women who are living on the street as a result of addiction,

ELIZABETH’S STORYElizabeth is 78 years-old and a retired schoolteacher. A decade ago, Elizabeth found herself homeless and poor. A long, terrible illness completely drained her savings and pension and before long, she found herself on the street. Elizabeth came to Rosie’s Place feeling alone and ashamed.

We helped Elizabeth find stable, affordable housing and soon her confidence and quick smile returned. Over the years, Elizabeth became a vibrant and important part of the Rosie’s Place community, joining us for meals in the

severe mental illness, partner abuse or involvement in the sex industry. The van will offer sandwiches, water, blankets, toiletries and information about Rosie’s Place and other programs.

Our Friendly Visitor program (FV) connects volunteers with women who are isolated and alone, living in nursing homes, hospitals or home-bound, unable to come in to Rosie’s Place. Our FV volunteers visit regularly with the same woman, providing friendship. To have someone to talk to or even play cards with, is a welcome treat for these women who may have no other visitors.

Dining Room, getting a job in our WCC, and even serving on our Board of Directors.

When health challenges returned for Elizabeth, Rosie’s Place helped her find a supportive living facility. And now, because she can no longer come in to Rosie’s Place, we come to her. Every week, Jenny, a volunteer in our Friendly Visitor program visits Elizabeth and they talk, play games and just enjoy each other’s company.

HOUSINGUnlike most shelters that require their guests to leave each morning—our program allows women to stay for three weeks, or more if needed. This precious constancy allows our guests time to focus on long-term solutions rather than stop-gap measures.

For too many of our guests, housing is a critical and often all-consuming, all day and night need. Poor and homeless women spend their days figuring out how they will pay their rent or where they will sleep at night. Nights are spent worrying about safety, food and surviving the next day. Another obstacle for homeless women is the fact that more than half of them suffer from a chronic disability, such as mental illness or substance addiction.

Tonight 20 women will sleep soundly, safe and warm in our Overnight Emergency Shelter. This year 600 women will find support and stability through this program.

At Rosie’s Place, we go beyond helping a homeless guest attain housing—we help her maintain it. Through

WE ARESANCTUARY

our Homelessness Prevention Initiative (HPI) program, we focus on building long-term support and solutions for our guests who struggle with maintaining housing. We do this by providing resources and in-home services for more than 70 guests who, left on their own, would be at risk of becoming homeless again. For many of the women this program serves, mental health problems or other issues may interfere with a successful tenancy. Essential household chores such as paying bills, housekeeping or disputes with landlords and neighbors can become overwhelming and ultimately sabotage a woman’s housing.

Our Outreach Advocate visits each woman in her home and develops a support system that might include referrals for mental health treatment, medications, substance abuse treatment, job placement, housing supports, social support and primary health care. We might link them with a volunteer through our Friendly Visitor program. Additionally, Rosie’s Place may provide direct financial assistance to prevent eviction, cover unpaid utility bills, assist with transportation and purchase household items.

WELLNESSRosie’s Place guests feel comfortable seeking health care within our safe environment and receive encouragement from our collaborative partners, which can be the difference between continued self-neglect and receiving much needed care that promotes health and well-being.

The Wellness Center at Rosie’s Place provides an opportunity for women to receive unconditional support along with sound health and medical assistance. Rosie’s Place partners with community health organizations including: Boston Health Care for the Homeless, Boston University School of Dental Medicine, New England Eye

Institute, Regis College graduate nursing program and Women of Means, to offer the most comprehensive services and treatments we can. The Center provides a broad range of services to our guests, including: flu shots, dermatology, podiatry, dental referrals, addiction services and workshops on promoting nutrition and healthy lifestyles. All services are provided to guests at no cost. We also welcome regular visits from acupuncturists and chiropractors, who volunteer their time and expertise. The Wellness Center hosts a weekly Alcoholics Anonymous group as well as regular physical therapy sessions and yoga classes.

It was two very different paths that led Cassandra and Elsie to Rosie’s Place. Once here, however, not only did they find programs to help get them back on their feet, but one day at lunch, they found each other. Cassandra was no stranger to disappointment and struggle. A lifetime of poverty and persistent health problems made making ends meet difficult. For a long time she managed to get by—juggling bills and stretching her meager income as best she could. But as her diabetes worsened, so did Cassandra’s ability to survive. Ultimately the disease crippled her, leaving her unable to work and in a short time, homeless. Without friends or family, she had nowhere to turn. Until she found Rosie’s Place.

Elsie never thought she’d need a place like Rosie’s Place. She grew up in a supportive home, with opportunities and comfort. She fell in love, started a family, and embarked upon what she thought was a dream life. Until her husband abused her, and her happy life fell apart. Forced to flee with her four children, Elsie wasn’t sure how she would make it on her own. That’s when she came to Rosie’s Place.

WE AREFRIENDSHIP

11

While Cassandra and Elsie’s stories are quite different, what they find at Rosie’s Place is the same. Each woman finds help, compassion and a community dedicated to addressing her individual needs. Cassandra meets regularly with one of our Advocates and receives treatment for her diabetes in our Wellness Center. Elsie shops for groceries for her family in our food pantry and with our support, is on the verge of becoming an American citizen. Both women are working on identifying permanent housing. Because of Rosie’s Place, for the first time in a long while, Cassandra and Elsie have hope for a better life. And one day, over lunch in our Dining Room, they each found something they didn’t even know they needed—friendship. Elsie noticed Cassandra crying at the table next to her and asked if she could help. They talked for hours that afternoon and, since then, have developed a strong bond that is helping them to overcome their challenges.

“I knew I’d find help at Rosie’s Place, but I didn’t expect to find a friend too! It’s a lot easier to face your problems when you have someone who understands what you’re going through,” Elsie says. “Rosie’s Place is very special. It’s a real community.”

WOMEN’S EDUCATIONFree ESOL, GED preparation, Literacy and Computer courses and one-on-one tutoring. Our own one-of-a-kind curriculum designed to serve the practical and vital needs of our students. And a staff of 80 volunteer teachers leading morning, afternoon and now evening classes—make our Women’s Education exceptional.

Rosie’s Place’s Women’s Education program truly meets our guests where they are—and gives them the opportunity to learn, achieve and go anywhere they choose. Our classes are not only financially accessible, but they are academically accessible, too. Students are not required to pass any tests to take classes and they are not forced to progress through levels to keep to a certain timetable. Realizing the standard ESOL curriculum was not relevant to our guests’ lives, we designed and implemented our own one-of-a-kind curriculum which focuses on the practical needs of our guests, such as the ability to speak with a doctor, navigate a grocery store or a city bus system or fill out a job application.

Most of our students are at the very lowest skill levels and many are immigrants who speak little or no English, illiterate even in their first language. Many are also affected by learning disabilities, substance abuse and mental health issues, have few employment prospects and encounter difficulty functioning in society. Recognizing the many challenges our students face, we strive to provide

WE AREOPPORTUNITYadditional services that any student would need to achieve success such as: breakfast, school supplies, bus passes and winter coats. Further, if a student has special needs or a limited schedule, Rosie’s Place can provide one-on-one tutoring. By coming to class each week, students are able to easily access Rosie’s Place’s myriad of other programs and services.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTRosie’s Place doesn’t just help our guests by providing a Job Placement Specialist on-site to help them look for work. We also offer our guests jobs working at Rosie’s Place.

The Women’s Craft Cooperative (WCC) is Rosie’s Place’s economic development program, a successful social enterprise that offers employment opportunities in a supportive environment for women who face barriers in traditional workplaces. Guests of Rosie’s Place hold part-time jobs at the WCC as artisans handcrafting an extensive line of beautiful jewelry and gifts made of new and vintage buttons, which are then sold online, in stores and gift shops and at events and craft fairs. Employment at the WCC helps women develop creative talents while they gain valuable, employable skills and increase their self-esteem. Approximately 70% of the program’s expenses are covered by the sales revenue it generates. Our retail sales and partnerships with large national retailers such as J. Jill help to support the program.

13

PARTNERS IN PROGRESSRosie’s Place is constantly working to find the services and ultimately, solutions that our guests so desperately need. If we don’t have the answer, we will find someone who does. By bringing experts to Rosie’s Place, our guests can connect with them immediately, in our trusted and comfortable environment.

For several years, Rosie’s Place has partnered with HomeStart, a nonprofit organization that specializes in helping homeless individuals and families obtain permanent affordable housing. We have been delighted with the expertise, patience and success rate of our full-time HomeStart Housing Search Advocate. This year we are tripling our housing search capacity by hiring two more full-time, on-site Housing Search Advocates.

Another organization we have had great results collaborating with is Community Work Services (CWS), which provides job training, placement and support services to help individuals transform their lives through employment. Our CWS Placement Specialist works full-time at Rosie’s Place, helping guests apply for, attain and maintain gainful employment in the community.

We have also brought attorneys to Rosie’s Place to serve our guests. Greater Boston Legal Services helps our guests with housing issues such as fighting eviction, help with public housing eligibility, negotiating with a landlord or ensuring the right to emergency shelter—and family law cases, such as divorce or custody issues. This unique service allows our guests to develop an ongoing relationship with a single attorney for the duration of their needs.

Just as Kip depended on a small group of volunteers and their $250 contribution to open Rosie’s Place in 1974, so do we depend on the consistent generosity and involvement of these individuals to provide help and hope to thousands of women each year. We are very grateful for their support and dedication to our mission.

Rosie’s Place accepts no funding from the city, state, or federal government, therefore we depend on the support of many generous corporations, foundations, and civic groups. Our organizational supporters range from religious organizations to corporate employee giving programs to foundation grants. All are vital to our ability to provide a comprehensive range of services to poor and homeless women. The following list represents those who contributed more than $1,000 this past fiscal year. We appreciate their continued generosity and support.
