THE ROAD TO HOPE INC.

1. Continuous improvement of our Resident Goal Plan system.
2. Monitor and improve all resident outcome data derived from resident goal plans.
3. Complete all capital projects in progress.
4. Acquire remaining funding for The Village, women with children recovery housing project for Lorain County.

The RTH has utilized a recovery plan system, since 2016, to measure and record each residents progress toward achieving predetermined goals. Resident goals are mutually derived between the resident and their program director as a peer driven exercise. The program director and the resident, at move-in, complete an Initial Needs Assessment. This assessment provides all the necessary demographic data along with basic and long-term needs of the resident. The program director and the resident will meet every thirty days and determine progress toward goals and establish new goals as needed.
The goal plan system allows us to collect data from each resident and measure overall progress of the individual and the program. Statistics include;
1. Resident engagement : number of residents who stay past the initial 1-month engagement period.
2. Success rate : Number of successful residents after 1-month engagement period
3. Stability in housing : Length of stay at RTH.
4. Social connectedness : Activity in a program of recovery, ie.12- step sponsorship and homegroup.
5. Abstinence from drugs and alcohol : Months of sobriety
6. Fiscal responsibility : fine and bill payment while residing at the RTH.
7. Employment : Initial and departure resident employment.
These statistics are tracked by facility and collectively as an organization. The program staff reviews this data quarterly to determine the need for corrective action in a particular facility, or as an organization.

1. The Mental Health and Recovery Services (MHARS) Board of Lorain County has established the need for women with children recovery housing. The Road to Hope is actively pursuing public funding for our Village project through both the MHARS Board and the Lorain County Commissioner's office.
2. The Board of Directors has been tasked with obtaining funding opportunities for this project.
3. The Executive Director and Grants Administrator are identifying private funding sources.

All RTH recovery homes are certified by Ohio Recovery Housing (ORH). Certification requires us to comply with national standards, policies, and procedures that ensure quality recovery housing to our residents. Our Executive Director serves as Vice President of the Board of ORH. Our board has encouraged his participation in recovery housing at the state and national level.
Our recovery plan system has provided our residents with the tools needed for successful long-term recovery. This process prepares a resident for effective employment opportunities, encourages personal and fiscal responsibility, and develop as assets to our community.
We have developed a strong relationship with the Lorain County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board. The MHARS board has provided funds through their Recovery Housing Initiative for the past 3 years. They have also been instrumental in their support with The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to provide 3 capital improvement grants and State Opiate Response grants for the last 3 fiscal years.
