2 Statements & Search Criteria Mission Statement Our mission at thetwelve Step Education Program of New England is to provide safe and sober living to all of our residents and we have been achieving this since We accept both men and women. We operate on the belief that sobriety begins by practicing a sober lifestyle and our goal is to provide the first step in long term sobriety. Background Statement We have been in the business of providing sober housing for men and women since vember, Countless individuals have come through our doors from all walks of life seeking help to learn healthier and sober lifestyles. Our residents come to us from homeless shelters, VAshelters, hospitals, treatment centers, detoxes, counselors, the justice system, family and self-referrals. We accept dual-diagnosed clients as long as they have not been prescribed mind-altering substances (i.e. benzodiazepines). We also have developed a relationship with Bournewood Hospital Program inwoburn. Transportation is provided to residents in ourwoburnhome. Through time and hard work we have found that not all sober housing is the same. Clients that choose to live in our homes are cared for and safe. Our homes, unlike others, have regular, periodic inspections of our sprinkler and fire alarm systems as well as local health department inspections. We have 24 hour management as well and appropriate safety and health inspections. We implemented a training program for our managers that keeps them up-to-date on the latest addiction information as well as skills and knowledge that allows them to be effective managers.all of our Twelve Step Education Program Homes have a mandatory house meeting each week; these meetings are designed to encourage a sense of community and to allow all residents to have an input with our house management. Sobriety also brings with it new responsibilities to ourselves, our families, friends and to the other residents of our sober homes. Each house has rules so the residents understand what is expected of them. All residents are responsible for their behavior in our homes and are held accountable for their actions. This accountability is to show respect for our residents sobriety. Impact Statement Our top accomplishments this past year have been: 1. Surviving our 21st year on our own. We do not receive any financial help from the state or government 2. Creating a sliding scale for addicts/alcoholics in order to provide afforable housing here for them. 3. Painting our residents rooms and hallways to help freshen up our homes. Our goals for this year are: 1. Expanding our homes so we can help and house more people 2.

4 Programs Transition House Description Budget Category Population Served Program Short Term Success Program Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success We have four homes in MA that provide men and women a safe, supportive, and sober living environment. They come to us because they want to start a new life and we offer the tools to help them achieve this. We offer a place for people to get back on their feet while they are surrounded with others who have the same goals and support each other. 15/yr/house Housing, General/Other Transitional Housing Alcohol, Drug, Substance Abusers, Adults, Veterans Due to the nature of our work, we are not able to give specific examples because we respect our residents privacy. Our success is that our founder, who started this program has been sober for the last 2 years and still going strong, which shows that our program works. Our hope is that this will happen for all of our residents who come to Twelve Step Education Program of New England. Due to the nature of our work, we are not able to give specific examples because we respect our residents privacy.

Program Comments CEO Comments One of the many reasons that we need this grant is that our homes are very old and need more work than we can afford to do. The men and women who live there are trying to rebuild their lives and they deserve to have a comfortable and updated living environment. This is important because many of our residents don t believe they are very deserving of anything positive. Part of our work is to instill a sense of pride and purpose in our residents, which can be difficult at times. Isolation is a common feature of addiction and we designed our program so that human contact and support is a daily part of the program. In addition, sharing a room also allows the residents to hone their negotiation skills as a sober person and to set boundaries, confront issues in positive way instead of being confrontational. This helps pave the way for a healthier family reunification when the resident is ready. We would love to be able to create a better feeling of modernization and attractiveness for the living quarters of our men and to give them an atmosphere where their selfesteem would get a boost from their surroundings. 4

5 Management CEO/Executive Director Executive Director Mr. Phil Malonson Term Start v pmalonson@sober-recovery.org Experience Phil Malonson, the Executive Director, a recovering addict himself started Twelve Step Education Program in 1993 because he wanted to give back to the recovery community by providing sober housing for men and women. He struggled himself for many years and found that there weren t many places that offered help in a safe and supportive environment that he was looking for. He decided to start his own house, which has now turned into 5 houses in MA, to provide the help and shelter that many people are looking for and need in order to succeed in their sobriety. What we do is not exciting to a lot of people who usually donate to other good causes. We do not target the arts, or kids, or visible civic improvement. But civic improvement in a sense is what we do. We provide a safe, clean, and sober living environment for men and women affected by drug and alcohol abuse. Many of our residents are the throw away of society; lifetime alcohol or drug abusers and Phil wanted them to have a place where they could start over because everyone deserves that chance. Our residents come to us because they are making a commitment to a sober life and they know they can t do it living back in their old using environment, or they literally have no where else to go to live sober. They sign a contract with us to stay sober and to take steps to get their lives in order to live a responsible sober lifestyle based on the concepts of self-responsibility for their sobriety of the 12-step recovery programs. Phil is available 24/7 for any of the residents whenever they need him for help with anything.
