Mission
ARC strives to empower self-determination and preserve human dignity in its mission: (1) to serve the critical needs of elderly victims suffering emotional abuse, physical abuse or neglect and who are in need of care, assistance and housing 2) to provide resources for home buyers and help to distressed homeowners to create and preserve stable home ownership.
Notes from the nonprofit
In the past year, ARC assisted 1219 clients with Housing Counseling, and over 1100 incidents of senior abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This year, we expect to serve 900 individuals with Foreclosure Prevention Counseling and Educational workshops. These clients will develop a sustainable household budget, and improve their financial stability. Clients will receive emergency payment assistance, utility assistance, and have an outcome of improving their housing situation. We will assist 400 potential home buyers who will attend our eHome online HUD Certification Home Buyer Class, and receive individual pre-purchase counseling. They will be assessed for Mortgage Readiness, with the goal of creating 50 new home owners. Additionally, Elder Crime Victim Services will advocate for and support 700 seniors, which will include Reverse Mortgage Counseling for 120 individuals seeking assistance to age in place.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Elder Shelter Program
ARC's Elder Shelter Program (ESP) serves adults 60 or over who are at risk, vulnerable, and in need of temporary shelter and care due to physical, medical or mental health challenges, neglect, or potential homelessness or neglect from an emergency situation. These services are supported by our unique 24-hour Elder Crisis Line, and relied upon by first responders, law enforcement, local hospitals, and Adult Protective Services to ensure the safety and health of our venerable adults. Services cover emergency situations causing an interruption in care, or care crisis during a transition. Program includes evaluation, safety planning, placement, and case management. ESP has established a collaborative network of local care homes that are willing to donate empty bed space for up to two weeks of boarding and cost free care for these individuals to ensure health and mental care, and safe housing so that our case workers can execute a smooth transition back to their home or to another permanent residential solution. This program restores dignity to the elders who otherwise would be left neglected during circumstantial crisis.
Homebuyer Services
ARC's Home Buyer Services include individual counseling and HUD Certified Pre-purchase Educational classes to prepare potential home buyers for mortgage readiness and successful home ownership. We facilitate the creation of the loan package, and assess the client's eligibility for down payment assistance programs. Counselors work closely with clients through the entire home buyer process from start to finish including identifying affordable loan options and providing a pre-qualification letter to accelerate to the home selection process.
