Dismas House of Massachusetts, Inc. Dismas House of Massachusetts provides critical housing, services, and a family environment for homeless ex-offenders in Central Massachusetts and MetroWest. At Dismas House, Father John Brooks House, and the Dismas Family Farm, Dismas strives to build a safe, welcoming, accountable and drug-free environment for former offenders turning around their lives. The Dismas Family Farm is a unique residential organic farm where the residents work with staff and a farm steward to operate a small family farm, farmers markets, and partner with restaurants to sustain the farm. BAR None (Basic Advocacy for Reentry), a community-wide civil legal initiative that assists over 400 homeless and former offenders in Central Massachusetts and MetroWest with help on civil legal matters as well as direct connections to healthcare, nutrition, case management, and housing support. Visit www.dismashouse.org for more information. Oak Hill CDC Oak Hill CDC has been a crucial neighborhood-based organization serving the east side of Worcester, centered on Union Hill, since 1972. OHCDC has a positive track record of building the neighborhood infrastructure and strengthening affordable housing, neighborhood cohesion, and youth services in one of the most stressed urban districts in Massachusetts. Facing crime, blight, low home-ownership rates and disenfranchisement, OHCDC has created an approach that is rooted in neighborhood leadership development, building new parks, opening the Homeownership Center of Worcester County, and developing the Youth Leadership Academy.

ComingHome2019_Book_2.indb 4 8/19/19 12:52 PM Introduction v Introduction Coming Home MetroWest, Central, & Western Massachusetts is a directory of services available to ex-offenders returning to, or currently living in the Central Massachusetts and MetroWest area. The directory is a resource that presents important information for ex-offenders about the services available in our community. This guide may also be useful for corrections practitioners, program staff, policy makers and the friends, families, and volunteers that work with former offenders in the community. When an offender is released from prison, he or she begins the difficult task of re-assimilating into the community. The ex-offender’s transition is often times very complicated, and may include significant obstacles that must be overcome to obtain stability. Fortunately, the Central Massachusetts and MetroWest community has a network of services designed to assist those in need. By compiling this directory, it is our hope that we will be able to assist former offenders, and those who care about them, find the resources they need to make the difference between success and a return to incarceration. How to Use the Directory The directory contains contact information and a basic description of the services offered for each organization. We have also included other informational resources where possible. When in doubt, contact the organization directly for the best, most up-to-date information. The editors cannot and do not vouch for the accuracy or quality of the services available. The agencies listed in this directory are not the only resources available. We have tried to include all appropriate agencies and organizations; however, some information may be missing. If you have additional information that you believe should be included, or have a correction to one of our entries, please contact us. Dismas House of Massachusetts, Inc.

It is with that same enthusiasm that we release an updated edition of the Community Partners Directory in a user-friendly format. This new edition features a list of all ORI programs with a brief description of each, followed by a list of the providers that offer each program. After, the directory lists each provider more thoroughly, including their contact information and location. It is our hope that this directory will allow community partners and stakeholders to collaborate in order to best serve the immigrants and refugees residing in Massachusetts. Every effort has been made to ensure that this directory is accurate and up to date. This second edition is special because it includes ORI’s new partners for the newest addition to ORI’s portfolio of programs, the Financial Literacy for Newcomers (FLNP).
