The Wonder of Transformation Powered by a Caring Community The Wonder of Transformation 201 4-15 Annual Re port Powered by a Caring Community Creating a Perfect Environment for Transformation Fairy tales are full of magical, instant transformations but in real life, we all know transformations happen much more slowly and are simply not that easy. Changes require the right environment, a host of external supports and the energy to strive and persevere. For 25 years, HomeFront has been in the business of creating the right environment to enable the homeless and hopeless to transform into proud, indepen- dent parents and citizens. In the ON THE COVER process, HomeFront itself also transformed — from an army of caring volunteers bringing meals to families in dire need into a multi-faceted destination for support and education to thousands of families. This Annual Report is dedicated to each of those special families who have dreamed of a better future and taken strides on the path toward transformation; to the nurturing HomeFront staff who spend their days providing people with exactly what The cover photo comes from our they need to succeed; to the transformative environment of our Wall of Love , a project launched by new HomeFront Family Campus, and most of all, to our donors, HomeFront’s Women’s Initiative . who give us the power to achieve and our volunteers and their Our Wall of Love installations are priceless gifts of time and talent. composed of hundreds of individual canvasses lovingly created by people who care about homeless families in our community and who helped create our new Family Campus. What a difference a year makes! HomeFront ’s missio n is A year ago, we were in the throes of early construction for our new Family to end homelessness in Central New Jersey Campus. With hard hats on, walking through dark halls, we dealt with the by harnessing the caring, resources million details that came with turning a large military structure into a nurturing and expertise of the community. haven of hope and healing. We lessen the immediate pain of homelessness And now, here we are, standing in the new HomeFront Family Campus in a and help families become self-sufficient. shower of color, sunlight and functional beauty that makes my heart proud every time I walk in. Our new Campus speaks of limitless possibility, both for We work to give our clients the skills our mission and for the people who come here determined to carve out a and opportunities to ensure adequate incomes, future for themselves and their children. Our foundation is stronger than ever and we’ve become more and we work to increase the availability nimble, able to offer ever more support to our ongoing mission. For the rest of my life, I will remain of adequate, affordable housing. humbled by the gift of this place, grateful to the donors who helped transform it, and to my staff whose heart, wisdom, vision and dedication shines through every single day. We help homeless families advocate Meanwhile, our daily, holistic aid to those in crisis continued. This has been another challenging year, with for themselves individually and collectively. the cost of everything, even saving lives, going up. For instance, the rising price of food coupled with draconian government cutbacks created the perfect storm for the growing number of people facing food insecurity. As you know, turning away a mom with hungry children is not an option at HomeFront, so our lines grow longer. And we find a way to make it work. Yes, a year can bring about stunning change, and I invite you all to visit our new Family Campus and see those changes for yourself. We would so love to show you around. Yet HomeFront has never been Board of Trustees about buildings, but rather the people who grow and change inside them. A year can make a big differ - Allen M.

Lisa Butler, Vice-Chair Althea, mother of two children, had been able to share an apartment with her aging mother, Patricia Hartpence, Secretar y who helped pay the rent with her Social Security. A year ago, her mother passed away, Anthony C. Stewart, Treasurer leaving Althea and her children struggling for months and ultimately facing eviction. Then, as Althea says, “A neighbor suggested I go to HomeFront for help. I was so nervous that day, Patrice Coleman-Boatwright but the minute I walked in to the office in Lawrenceville, it felt like I was being hugged! A week Tanuja Dehne before we would have become homeless, HomeFront helped us move into a lovely, affordable, Ollie Green two-bedroom apartment in a friendly neighborhood. Everyone needs to know that HomeFront Phyllis Marchand is there if you need them. We got to stay together as a family and it is difficult to express just Michael Moorman how grateful I am.” Lloyd Ricketts We are able to help Althea and hundreds like her every year because of you.
