C H A P T E R 1 Care for Military Veterans The FBCI Center was created at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to engage faith-based and other community-based organizations in VA’s mission “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.” This goal has been achieved through key pilot projects, such as Restore Vision for Homeless Veterans and FBCI = VetSuc cess and Loan Guaranty Program for Multifamily Transitional Housing for Homeless Veterans. The Center also works to leverage greater FBCO involvement in traditional programs such as Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment Service (VR&E), Special Employer Incentive Program, Vocational Reha bilitation Services, NCA Contracting Services and Volunteerism, Homeless Grant and Per Diem Programs, Loan Guaranty Homeless Program, and Voluntary Service Programs. Key Pilot Projects at VA FBCI = VetSuccess Pilot The Department’s Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Service part ners with FBCOs around the country to provide service-connected disabled veterans opportunities for employment, career advancement, job mobility, family economic well-being and greater financial security. In FY 2006, FBCOs hired 673 service-con nected disabled veterans, up from 362 in FY 2005. VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program The Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program is offered annually to fund community agencies provid ing services to homeless veterans. The purpose of the program is to promote the development and provision of supportive housing and/or services to help homeless veterans achieve residential stability, as well as to increase their skill levels, income, and independence. In FY 2007, VA awarded more than $88.9 million through 458 grants and per diem to organizations to provide services for homeless veterans. This program has created more than 8,000 operational beds and serves more than 15,000 veterans annually. Anti-Gang Initiative The U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Anti-Gang Initiative builds upon the effective partnerships and strategies developed through Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), another DOJ effort to leverage nonprofit organizations to reduce crime and build communities. The Anti-Gang Initiative dedicated approximately $25 million in grant funding to sup port PSN anti-gang enforcement and prevention efforts and to provide training and technical assistance to community partners. 6 This Initiative focuses on prevention, targeted enforcement and reentry of prisoners back into society. The U.S. Department of Justice’s Anti-Gang Initiative provides pre- and post-release services and supervi sion for gang members returning to their communities after a period of incarceration in State, local, or other correctional facilities. The program advances the President’s vision for ex panded choice by offering ex-offend ers the option of selecting one of multiple faith-based and community providers. These organi zations are reimbursed according to the number of ex-offenders they serve or treat in their communities. Proba tion/parole 22 T H E Q U I E T R E V O L U T I O N
C H A P T E R 1 officers, working closely with law enforcement agencies, prose cutors, treatment and service providers, FBCOs, mentors and others within the community, provide intensive supervi sion of the ex-offenders. Six sites were awarded Anti-Gang Ini tiative grants during the fall of 2006: Cleveland, Ohio; Dallas/ Ft. Worth, Texas; East Los Angeles, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Tampa, Florida; and the “222 Corridor” between Lancaster and Easton, Pennsylvania. Four more cities - Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Rochester, and Raleigh-Durham- were funded in 2007. Each site is using the funding to target 100 gang members who have a history of violence and pose a risk to their communities. Participants must be enrolled within six months of release from incarceration. Services provided through the pro gram include mentoring, risk/needs assessment, treatment services (including substance abuse, mental health, and anger management-cognitive re structuring), motivational interviewing, socialization skill development, domestic violence rehabilitation, job skills development, educa tion, employment, housing, language skills, and child care resources. Domestic Violence Prevention The DOJ Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) sponsored the Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Grant Program to reduce domestic violence and increase services for victims in rural areas. This pilot provided funds to nonprofits in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana who, in turn, acted as intermediaries between OVW and small community-and faith-based programs nationwide. They located potential grantees in underserved rural areas, oversaw a national grant competition, disseminated grant awards and provided technical assistance to sub-awardees in rural communities throughout the United States. The goal of the project was to build capacity in small grassroots organizations providing social services to victims of domestic violence in isolated communities. One of the intermediary grantees, Faith and Community Technical Support, or FACTS, provided funding and ongoing technical assistance to 39 such programs. Successful programs included: • Iva's Place Inc., Lenoir City, Tenn., serving Loudon and Monroe counties in lower east Tennessee • The Family Peace Project, Henderson County, Texas • Southwest Arkansas Domestic Violence Center, De Queen, Ark., serving six counties in Southwest Arkansas T H E Q U I E T R E V O L U T I O N 23
