when one door closes another opens a year of transitions, tragedy and triumph

annual report 2014 Our mission Victory Programs opens doors to recovery, hope and community to individuals and families facing homelessness, addiction or other chronic illnesses. Our dedication Victory Programs proudly dedicates our 2014 annual report to:

Gary Sandison, the winner of our 2014 Peter Medoff Award for his leadership in the field of HIV/AIDS. Gary’s long compassionate history of advocacy to those living with HIV/AIDS goes back to his role as a founding board member of AIDS Action Committee. In 1993 acting Mayor Thomas Menino appointed Gary to serve as his AIDS Policy Advisor. Gary worked with the Public Health Commission to implement important policies and services including the first Pilot Needle Exchange Program, condom access in the Boston Public Schools and serving as the Mayor’s representative for 20 years on the essential Ryan White Planning Council. Gary is a true hero for his 30 years devoted to the care and core services of everyone living with HIV/AIDS; we are proud to always call him a friend.

And…

Eastern Bank for its continued commitment to Victory Programs as a year-long corporate sponsor and its generous emergency support to assist in the resiting of our Joelyn’s Family Home. Less than a month after Boston’s Long Island was evacuated, the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation was one of the first to respond to the tragedy by making a $10,000 donation to Victory Programs to assist with unanticipated financial expenses. Eastern Bank is truly there for our community.

To open a group home can take years. It’s a complex odyssey—a special marathon—requiring a labyrinth of detailed planning, long-term commitments, conviction, patience and stamina. It involves many individuals and scores of organizations; community organizing; neighborhood hearings; massive fundraising; some begging; definitely borrowing and always the endless convincing of skeptics and naysayers as to why it is the most essential priority. To build a group home, as Kip Tiernan, founding board member of Victory Programs, said: “All you need is plain, stubborn hope. ” To finally succeed in opening a group home provides the deep satisfaction of reaching the mountaintop. The willpower to open a group home, and the individuals courageous enough to see the process through, have a special drive emanating deep to their core. The power of hope. For nearly four decades, Victory Programs has opened doors of recovery and hope to dozens of group homes; specialized housing; transitional care; treatment programs; community centers; shelters and unique fundamental community services. We have opened homes for addicts and alcoholics; homes for those with HIV/AIDS; homes for homeless mothers and their children; homes for the most marginalized, neglected, isolated and ignored. A group home can take years to build, and it can take one hour to end or destroy. To suddenly lose a group home is devastating to the foundation of a non-profit. It’s an arrow to the heart. In 2014, against all odds, we opened two new state-of-the-art group transitional homes on Chamblet Street in Dorchester for 14 homeless families—young mothers and children living in motels, cars or on the street—families desperate only for the simple dream: a stable and permanent place to live—a home of their own. Also in 2014, on October 8th, with the sudden closing of Boston Harbor’s Long Island Bridge by the City of Boston, and the immediate evacuation of all treatment programs sited there, Victory Programs lost all access—in a single hour—to a vital group home for 47 homeless women. Joelyn’s Family Home, ’ largest group home for women in addiction treatment, a program that took years of planning, millions of dollars and the support and help from a multitude of supporters and allies to build, now stands empty and inaccessible. They say when one door closes, another opens. We know from decades of experience how heartbreaking it is to close one door, and we know how heart healing it is to open another. Victory Programs has the experience, strength and willpower to do what it takes to open a group home, or rebuild one that is lost. Most of all, at Victory Programs’ foundation and core is the special drive called “plain, stubborn hope.”

Jonathan D. Scott, President & CEO David J. Bancroft, Chair of the Board

Mayor Thomas M. Menino speaking at the 2013 Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner.

Cherishing Mayor Menino's Life Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s death on October 30, 2014 was the loss of a true friend. During the course of his career as a public servant, Mayor Menino was a staunch supporter of all residents of Boston, including those struggling with homelessness, addiction and chronic illnesses. Mayor Menino helped us cut the ribbon on vital new programs like Victory Housing on Warren Street, our first permanent housing program for the chroni- cally homeless and our Portis and Joelyn’s Family Homes, recovery programs for women. His dedication to the fight against HIV/AIDS has been well chronicled, and his presence at our Boston Living Center’s Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner was always an exciting event for our guests. Mayor Menino’s stewardship of bringing urban farming to Boston, and his role in making our ReVision Urban Farm a dream come true, continue to bring healthy food to Boston residents. Most of all, Thomas Menino was beloved for his charm, wit, kind- ness and caring. His dedication to Victory Programs will forever remain in our history and hearts.

Since our founding in 1975, Victory Programs has always evolved to meet the needs of our communities—from opening our recovery homes to people living with HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s to expanding our family shelter programming in 2014. This past year has brought numerous changes to our programming—one by design and one by circumstances beyond our control.

25 Years of Giving Thanks Every November, the Boston Living Center gathers people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones for a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner to celebrate the joy of life. On Tuesday, November 25, the tradition of the Celebration of Life continued at the Hynes Convention Center with more than 700 guests and several hundred volunteers. Guests enjoyed a free, full-course Thanksgiving meal and entertainment by Coro Allegro, Lakia Mondale, Verna Turbulence and Woza Moya. In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Boston Living Center, the annual Peter Daniel Clark Award that is given to individuals who are dedicated to advocating and serving those living with HIV/AIDS was presented to the entire membership of the Boston Living Center and accepted by long-term survivors Joe Lemieux and JoAnn Coull. The Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner is Victory Programs' largest fundraising event of the year, raising more than $135,000 for our Boston Living Center.

Annual Homes for the Holidays Breaks Fundraising Record On Thursday, December 11, Victory Programs held its annual Homes for the Holidays party and fundraiser at Club Café in Boston’s Back Bay. This year was particularly special as we celebrated the 20th annual Peter Medoff Awards for excellence in the field of HIV/AIDS. All former Peter Medoff Award winners were invited as we presented the 2014 awards to Gary Sandison and Linda Goldman for their outstanding work in the field. Homes for the Holidays raised a record-breaking $36,000 for our housing programs.

Thanks to Our Corporate Sponsors! In 2013, Victory Programs launched a yearlong corporate partnership program in an attempt to streamline the number of sponsorship requests we make to our corporate supporters. The program was such a great success, that we have continued it in 2014 and 2015. We are thrilled to have Eastern Bank, Macy’s, Perkins Financial Services and Walgreens as our pioneer yearlong partners. Through this special partnership, corporations pledge to support our five annual fundraisers—Gratitude Dinner, Dinnerfest Party + Auction, Drive for Victory Golf Tournament, Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner and Homes for the Holidays—at various sponsorship levels. In addition to event-specific benefits, the yearlong partners are recognized on our website throughout the year. We are actively seeking to build similar partnerships with other corporations.
