THE MIDNIGHT MISSION
Programs
Program 1 [2018]
Since the Midnight Mission's inception in 1914, the cornerstone of our services has been providing basic safety-net services to those who are homeless or in need in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. Our Courtyard Shelter and Service programs provide nightly shelter and service rich environment. On-site services include meals 3 times daily/365 days a year, shelter, hygiene center, restrooms and showers, employment and education center, access to 12-step recovery services, a medical and dental clinic in partnership with Los Angeles County Hospitals, U.S. mail service, clothing, a salon for haircuts and shaves, on-site case management and mental health services. During the day our facility is a place to connect with needed services; at night it becomes a safe place to sleep away from the violence of the streets. We use our meals as a form of low-barrier outreach and a form of progressive engagement to increase services that may end a person's episode of homelessness. In our Los Angeles facility during the last 12 months, 1,581 women and men received short and medium term shelter, 788,499 meals were provided to those coming to access daily services. 1,521 were routinely monitored for chronic health conditions like diabetes. We also provided 29,141 showers, processed 68,893 pieces of mail, and handed out 20,047 hygiene kits. Over 243 accessed the Job Center and 187 of those are now employed in living-wage positions that enable sustainable self-sufficiency.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$7.5MProgram 2 [2018]
The Midnight Mission's HomeLight Family Living program provides a path for families in crisis to reunify and rebuild their lives and obtain the tools needed to be self-sufficient and stably housed. In the past 12 months, HomeLight provided individually tailored services and short and medium term nightly shelter to 14 families comprised of 19 adults and 32 children. HomeLight services focus on restoring the whole family - services include assessment, case management, individual and family therapy, employment development, financial literacy and debt reduction, household budgeting and financial planning, life-skills and on-site groups designed to increase family stability and increase empowerment. The service-rich environment is very successful and 80% (11 of 14) moved into their own housing with stable income. Adults received 1,150 hours of job training and employment development services, 507 hours of vocational training, 90 hours of financial literacy, over 214 hours of case management, and each family was able to set aside and save approximately $2,000. Children also receive intensive services including therapy, connection to school and on-site tutoring to maintain grade level, daily access to the computer lab, and daily physical activities through the on-site playground. Families receiving these intensive services thrive and leave with the tools needed to be self-sufficient, maintain housing, continue family stability and rejoin their community.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$367.1KProgram 3 [2018]
Our Healthy Living program is open to anyone struggling with substance misuse or substance abuse disorder (SUD). The Midnight Mission's holistic approach to recovery is based on the abstinence social model of 12-step recovery in a group living setting. We combine social model abstinence with education, medical and mental health services, community volunteer therapy, employment training, life-skills development, health and fitness training and education, and participation in an abstinence-based 12-step community. Services are provided in a structured environment that is person-centered and includes goal planning, education, accountability, and the development of a positive sober support network. Case management is designed to build on personal strengths, identify potential challenges, and work towards changing negative patterns of thinking and behavior. Education groups include relapse prevention, anger management, interpersonal skills, and healthy lifestyle. Personal accountability and self-sufficiency are key components of this service - rich program. In the past 12 months, 1,106 sought assistance. Of those, 324 chose to receive referrals to other agencies and 737 entered our Healthy Living program and of those 12% (86 of 737) graduated the program after 12 months. Of those graduates, 100% moved into stable housing, obtained and maintained employment, and re-entered their community with the ability to be self-sufficient.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$18.9K
