2013 Annual Report Fortitude: Strength in the face of adversity or difficulty President’s Message At our annual board retreat in 2013, three courageous presenters—all Genesis Home graduates—brought into focus for me the reasons why Genesis Home’s mission remains so critical. They each recounted their stories of how their families became homeless and the role Genesis Home played in helping them recover and return to permanent housing and employment. The circumstances leading up to their homelessness—the loss of a job, a sudden illness when uninsured, a personal crisis—are unexpected challenges that can affect anyone. With the shelter and case management services provided by Genesis Home and the personal fortitude and perseverance of the clients, these stories had positive outcomes. A common refrain was “Without Genesis Home, I don’t know what I would have done.” Stories like these are strong evidence of the critical need for, and the success of, Genesis Home’s programs. We continue to implement our five year strategic plan. Genesis Home made significant progress this past year, the most promising being transitioning fifteen families into permanent housing versus twelve the prior year. New program changes promise ways to serve more families that need our services, even while seeing cuts to our government funding sources. At the board level, a key part of our plan is to focus on forming partnerships to leverage resources available to serve the homeless within our community. To that end, our board members are participating with board members from other similar agencies in a series of meetings to better understand the mission and resources of each agency and how we can best complement each other in the services we provide. Genesis Home remains on solid financial footing. However, as with any non-profit agency, fundraising must be a constant priority. Reductions in government funding, particularly at the federal level, dictate the increasing importance of giving by individuals, foundations and our partners in the business and faith communities. To all of you who are helping us meet the financial challenges of today, I want to extend a very sincere thank you. As I end my second tenure as President of the Genesis Home Board, I am grateful for the opportunity to have served this worthy cause in a leadership position. I also have a great deal of hope for the future due in large part to incoming President Cindy Streett. Having worked with Cindy on the Executive Committee, I am confident that under her leadership the board will continue to advance the important mission of Genesis Home. I also would like to recognize Ryan and his staff, whose tireless commitment to the residents of Genesis Home has inspired all of us on the board. The year 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of Genesis Home. In 1989, a group of dedicated individuals came together with a vision to create a family-friendly shelter. Through the hard work of volunteers, local government partners, and the donation of a Hope Valley home moved to our current site, that group made it happen. They persisted against formidable challenges to create a place for homeless families in our community to put their lives back together and move forward. Thanks to the founding group and all of the staff, donors and volunteers who have followed, the homeless families who participate in our programs don’t have to know what they would have done without Genesis Home. We should strive to honor their legacy of fortitude by continuing to ensure that Genesis Home will exist for as long as families face homelessness in Durham. As always, many thanks to our staff, my fellow board members, our volunteers, and our financial contributors. Your dedication is inspiring, and you truly make a difference in the lives of homeless families in our community. Board of Directors J.

The process includes a count of the community’s unsheltered homeless, and service providers work closely with volunteers to visit with those who live unseen right under our noses. The count includes those living in camps deep in the woods, in tent cities just steps away from busy highways, in sleeping bags under bridges, and in abandoned buildings condemned to decay. You have to be tough to survive those conditions. As we walked the trails in the darkness, enveloped by the cold, I found myself wondering, “Why would someone choose to live this kind of a life?” As I’ve considered the question over the years, I now believe that most of the people we spoke with in those camps don’t see their lifestyle as a choice at all. It is the only thing that most of the unsheltered homeless have known for many years. To imagine a life in decent housing, working a 9-5 job, is to imagine a fantasy world. For many, there is no “picture” of what a stable life looks like, and this struggle to imagine a better life often results in a perpetuation of homelessness, mental illness, and addiction. This is not really a choice. It is a continuation of the status quo. While no one would question the toughness of those who live life on the streets, when I think of fortitude I think of another group. In my mind it takes more courage and bravery to try something new, to step into the unknown, than it does to continue a pattern of behavior that obviously isn’t working. We all have patterns of behavior that may not be in our own best interests. I say this as someone who has gained ten pounds over the holidays. These behaviors may be deeply rooted in our upbringing and in our notions of self. They are hard to change. For this reason, I have tremendous respect for the families that make a choice to participate in our programs at Genesis Home. Their desire for a better life and their willingness to try something new are a reminder of true fortitude in the face of adversity. The last year has brought a great deal of change to Genesis Home and our programming as well. The agency has been implementing plans to shorten shelter stays, to serve more families that need our services, and to exit more families into permanent housing. While Genesis Home our new approach is not yet a finished product, the results over the last year have been promising. In 2013 the agency helped fifteen families move successfully into permanent housing versus twelve in the prior year and saw continued high housing retention for those receiving follow up case management in their own apartments. The changes are working, and I personally believe that Genesis Home is demonstrating the fortitude that we work to cultivate in our residents. While the economy is improving, life certainly isn’t much easier for low-income residents of our community. Genesis Home has seen significant cuts to our government funding sources, and the reality is that your support is the only reason we have been able to avoid major cuts to our staffing and services. I know that you work hard for every dollar, and I want you to know that your investment in Genesis Home is paying dividends for our families and the larger community. Whether you know it or not, you are an advocate for the families and children that we serve. While we experience an outpouring of love and support during the holidays, I ask each of you to pick a time in the spring, summer, or fall when you can reaffirm your commitment to our work. Whether it’s a barrel of joy, a volunteer project, or a special event to benefit the agency, we need your support throughout the year. Thank you for making Genesis Home your charity of choice and best wishes for a wonderful year in 2014.

For Ebbini, a recent graduate of Genesis Home, she and her newborn were able to go from homelessness to permanent housing in just 28 days. In August 2013, Ebbini was homeless and eight months pregnant. “Throughout my whole pregnancy I was homeless,” said Ebbini. “I was in foster care all my life so I don’t know my family. I had to live in a car and in motels until I could find a place to stay.” The need to find housing became critical when her doctor said there were complications with her pregnancy and that they would have to induce labor a month earlier than her due date. “I thought I would have to leave my baby at the hospital,” said Ebbini. Fortunately, that was not the case. When her baby arrived, Ebbini called the Durham County Department of Social Services’ Coordinated Intake Program and said that she needed shelter immediately because of her newborn. Thankfully, Genesis Home had room and Ebbini and her baby moved into the shelter in mid-August 2013. During her time here, she worked through our Family Matters program with her Family Services Coordinator Tammy Mauldin and attended therapy sessions. She also continued taking classes to earn her certified nursing assistant (CNA) license. Through hard work and determination, Ebbini graduated from our program just 28 days later, one of the shortest stays for a household exiting to permanent housing in the agency’s history. “I would’ve never been able to do it without Miss Tammy,” said Ebbini. “I thought I’d be staying at Genesis Home a lot longer than I actually did, but she really worked with me. Miss Tammy helped me with budgeting and resources to help me get daycare. She helped me get the place I’m staying in right now. She’s still working with me on therapy and other plans.” In fact, one of the resources Ebbini had access to after graduation was a means to reliable transportation. Genesis Home partners with Wheels4Hope, a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income families and individuals by providing them reliable, affordable vehicles. Genesis Home referred Ebbini to Wheels4Hope, and in December 2013 she received a car. When asked how she felt when she received the keys to her car, Ebbini exclaimed, “I was so excited! I can’t even explain how happy I was.” Genesis Home It also was a great experience for Executive Director of Wheels4Hope John Bush. “To celebrate the gift of independence that a car provides with someone as hard working and gracious as Ebbini was a special moment. When a client has persevered and stands tall through the support offered by Genesis Home, taking hold of the keys to a car is in fact taking hold of a new lease on life. This is why our partnership is vital. It opens the doors to employment, stability, education, and housing options.” And according to Ebbini, receiving those keys did in fact help her take hold of her new lease on life. Between her job and taking her son to doctor appointments, the car was crucial in her path to independence. “I had been catching the bus everywhere I was going, and it was just starting to get very cold right before I got the car,” said Ebbini. “I didn’t want my son or me to get sick because I wouldn’t be able to go to work. Now I’m able to drive him to his doctor appointments, and I don’t have to rush around to catch the bus to meet clients for work.” Today, Ebbini is working as a nursing assistant at a local nursing home and is living in her own home. As far as her future, she said she wants to keep moving forward. “I’m hoping to never be homeless again and to make sure my family is safe and healthy. I want to continue my therapy and do what I’m supposed to so that I can do something with my life.” In the midst of so many challenges, Ebbini achieved housing stability and independence in less than 30 days through perseverance, a commitment to herself and to her family, and a positive attitude. In her actions and attitude, Ebbini has shown all of us the true meaning of the word “fortitude”.

Support Circles are the backbone of this program. The volunteers (historically from faithbased organizations) who form these circles provide assistance, support, and mentoring over a period of 12 months to a family or individual with whom they are matched. Durham Circles of Support needs more organizations to create Support Circles to reach our goal of ten active matches.

The word “link” can be defined as a relationship between two things or situations, especially where one affects the other. The link between Genesis Home and the Durham Chapter of The Links, Inc. is such that the positive effect on both groups is undeniable. “The Durham Chapter of the Links is the longest serving community group Genesis Home has,” said Tasha Melvin, Genesis Home Volunteer Coordinator. “They are a role model for the entire community because they embody what it means to serve an organization and truly meet its needs.” aspects of the organization. “They come monthly to work with the parents, create fun activities for the children, and provide enrichment activities for the families,” said Tasha. “Their service is all-inclusive, and they want to grow and bring in even more people to help us.” The impact of this service remains long after our families graduate from Genesis Home. The Links, Inc. is a national membership organization of approximately 10,500 African American women who exhibit leadership skills, integrity, and a desire to make a difference in the world. A major focus is to uplift the community through volunteer service. Last year, the organization documented over 500,000 community service hours nationally. Dr. Malson shared one such story. “When the Links decided to give residents a simple paper certificate to conclude our seven month ‘Healthier Families’ workshop journey, we had no idea of the importance of the document,” said Dr. Malson. “A Durham pastor who was involved in Circles of Support told me about a home visit in which he noticed something colorful pinned on the living room wall of the family’s home. Upon closer examination he discovered it was a Certificate of Completion of the ‘Healthier Families’ workshops. [The pastor] kept saying to me, ‘She had it on the wall so that people could see what she had accomplished.’” President of the Durham Chapter, Faye Tate Williams, said Genesis Home has been the core focus of their programming over the past 12 years. “Our members utilize their expertise to touch lives that they may not encounter in their day-to-day roles,” said Ms. Williams. “We see the results of our efforts as the residents move to their own housing, obtain employment, and improve the lives of their children. We sometimes hear from them after they have moved telling us how we have positively improved their lives.” When we discussed the idea of fortitude and how it applies to their experiences with our families, Dr. Malson said, “As African American professional women we are not strangers to the practice of fortitude. We are witnesses to the strength, courage, resilience, determination and downright guts it takes to overcome the odds.” Dr. Micheline Ridley Malson, Program Coordinator for the Durham Chapter and active volunteer with Genesis Home, shared that while getting to know the families is rewarding, at first it also was difficult to hear their stories of struggle and trauma. Instead of letting that derail them however, the Links harnessed their collective fortitude and created new programs including “Imagine Me,” a science, technology, engineering and math program presented in partnership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and “Healthy Living,” a workshop designed to address the issue of childhood obesity. Ms. Williams agreed. “We have seen all of these qualities exhibited by the residents at Genesis Home. As a result, we improve those same skills that we have in us as women personally and collectively. We are fortunate to have had this collaboration for so long. We do not take it for granted. We look forward to more years of transforming lives and impacting futures.” “We have increased our program activities at Genesis Home through the years in hopes of having a greater impact…but we know there is more we can do,” said Dr. Malson. We couldn’t agree more. The Links don’t limit their service to any one area. Tasha explained that their support has evolved over the years to touch all Genesis Home Friends & Supporters (cont.)
