New Reach.Reaching New Heights Together

From the moment CareWays Shelter for womenopened its doors in 1990 through 2015, this lasttriumphant year of achievement and growth, NewReach has refused to be just “good enough.

I am proud of all we have accomplished together in the last 12 months – from earning nationalaccreditation for the highest standard of services and facilities to the federal funding we havebeen awarded to replicate our Housing First program and take expand it with our partners acrossthe state..

But much more than that, I celebrate our realization that the only thing constant is change and thatNew Reach, therefore, must manage that change to remain the dynamic, vibrant and emergingforce for good we have become in 25 short years.

We continue to expand and have risen to meet many new challenges. We run shelters andsupportive housing, we provide rapid re-housing services and develop affordable housing, and weprovide support for veterans and those who have experienced chronic homelessness. We havefound effective methods to stabilize families to prevent eviction, developed specialized children’sservices and even offered a furniture coop for those moving into permanent supportive housing.We are helping to ensure healthy outcomes for pregnant women at risk of homelessness andintervening with services for at-risk students and those in need of community supports.

From the Chief Operating Officer Kellyann Day Our MissionNew Reach inspires

independence for

those affected by

homelessness and

poverty through a

continuum of

housing and

support using the

most innovative

and progressive

methods.

None of this could have been accomplished without the unparalleled level of talent andcommitment exhibited by New Reach staff every day. They have led the fight to end homelessnessthis year, serving the local and statewide communities in many capacities and educating state andnational audiences on innovative and successful housing and support interventions.

While we celebrate that success, we refuse to simply look back. We must embrace the future andthat is why I am so excited about 2016. We will grow services into a clearly defined model that canbe expanded to serve more people in more locations across our state. We will hone awareness andenergize our advocacy through a newly focused communications strategy. We will strengthen ourboard of directors’ ability to leverage support and create a flexible infrastructure as the platform forfuture growth. Finally, we will build a foundation for future service delivery with new philanthropicsupport.

The first 25 years were great, but the next 25 years will be better! We thank all of you for yourideas, your interest, your support and your friendship. Mostly, though, we look forward to another25 years of helping those who need a hand, safe in the knowledge that their dreams and ourassistance are adding up to fulfillment and brighter futures for thousands of Connecticut residents.
