Description
- Abstract
- The gavin foundation INC. Is applying for CDS construction funding in the amount of $1,000,000 for its residential program (gavin house) for men who struggle with addiction. We anticipate completing all deliverables within 12 months of award. In the past 60 years the gavin foundation has grown into a key boston is a nonprofit multi -service agency providing comprehensive, community -based substance abuse education, prevention, and treatment programs. Today the gavin foundation serves approximately 10,000 people per year in its full continuum of addiction prevention, outpatient, acute inpatient, and residential services. The gavin house was established in 1962 by james f. Gavin, a corrections and parole officer for 28 years before opening gavin house. MR. Gavin's goal was to provide treatment for alcoholics coming out of the prison system so that they may return to the community as sober law-abiding citizens. Gavin house's mission is the same as IT was when the doors first opened- the restoration of dignity. Now gavin house is a recovery home for adult men seeking to recover from the effects of alcohol and drug abuse. Accommodating up to 36 men at a time, for six months. Gavin house aims for restoration of dignity and self-respect in an understanding, supportive, and home-like environment residents acquire and/or renew skills needed for mature and responsible lifestyles free of alcohol and other drugs within a structured program using the twelve steps as the core of recovery. Each year, gavin house serves more than 100 massachusetts men. Gavin house is licensed as an adult residential rehabilitation program by the bureau of substance abuse services, department of public health. Gavin house completion rate of 58% is substantially higher than the 39% state average. Gavin house supports vocational success, with 90% of residents employed at discharge. This success in retention and employment provides the structure for stable recovery. NE EDS: the needs for these funds are to 1) make services accessible, equitable and inclusive: 2) improve facility safety; and 3) instill hope and promote self-esteem by modernizing and upgrading furnishings and rooms. Specifically we plan to use funds to: 1) add wheelchair ramp to address the steep inclines in the front of the building. 2) replace 60 windows, which are very old - have not been replaced in my time at gavin over 30 years, to conserve energy and improve safety. Occasionally the windows "POP out" and can cause injury. We have incident reports of window failure and reports that show the need to use towels to cover drafts. 3) replace building roof. This will prevent leakages, mold, and insulate better against heat and air condition loss. 4) client room refresh: purchase new, sturdy, and fireproof furniture which will be visually attractive, modern while being sturdy and fit into the design aesthetic for this program. Clients rooms will be refreshed with wall, ceiling repair, and repaint. This will modernize the facility. Services: there will be no change to the services we currently offer at the gavin house recovery home for men with substance use disorders. Full participation is required in the following areas: individual assessments, treatment planning, case management, linkages and referrals, job search, individual and group counseling, psychoeducational groups, aftercare planning and follow-up. A live-in house manager ensures the centers safety and security, and prompt intervention into potential or actual relapse or needs for emergency care. Population groups: this residential program serves men with addiction issues- the majority of whom are involved with the criminal justice system, have CO-occurring mental and physical chronic conditions, as well as have financial and housing related concerns. The vast majority are referred by local drug courts and officials in the criminal justice
