Matrix Human Services Impact Report 2021

 

Brad Coulter     

President & CEO

2021

2021 was a year of success and challenges. COVID continued to affect in person operations, but our staff had already learned how to adapt and remain resourceful. Being on the other side of the learning curve allowed our clients and community to continue receiving services they need while keeping our staff and clients safe. By being strategic about our sourcing decisions, we were also able to spend almost one million dollars buying services from Black and Hispanic owned business in Detroit. These dollars go directly into the community supporting jobs and local businesses.

This Impact Report details the myriad of programs and success stories that Matrix had in 2021. From making sure preschool children have access to curriculum-based education and nutrition, helping families overcome barriers like housing and food scarcity, counseling of teens and people living with HIV and much more, Matrix is able to step in and provide a hand-up when people are at a turning point and need assistance to get back on track.

During 2021, Matrix was able upgrade many of its 20 locations around Detroit. A complete renovation of The Matrix Center entrance and lobby was completed which will allow for better flow of people in and out of the building plus provide a more welcoming environment. In addition, lifts were installed to make the building ADA compliant. New playgrounds, awnings, and signage are being installed at our Head Start centers along with a refresh of the building interiors through painting, flooring, and other upgrades. In order to truly inspire people to achieve, our buildings need to provide inspiration for change.

We could not have overcome the challenges faced over the past two years without our funders and the generous donations from our individual and corporate supporters. They make our impact possible and we are truly grateful for the ongoing support.

Since 1906, Matrix has given people hope for a better life. We help provide a path to success and coordinate resources so individuals can strive for a better life for themselves and their families. For 116 years running, the passion to serve still remains.

We also allocated Quality Improvement funds from the Office of Head Start to implement a trauma informed care curriculum by contracting with Trauma Smart. The Trauma Smart kick off began in the Fall of 2019 and will continue through 2023. Trauma Smart is an evidenced-based training and coaching model designed to create a trauma-informed environment with more resilient caregivers and students, which improves students’ school readiness. Trauma Smart uses a train-the-trainer model so the curriculum will be sustainable after the contract expires.

New Summer Program

Details

Kindergarten readiness has remained a special focus during the pandemic due to the gaps created by remote and virtual instruction. In 2021, the program also provided supplemental activity calendars for kindergarten preparation, distributed activity backpacks for these children, and held a summer program specially focused on rising kindergartners. Overall, 402 children attended the 2021 Summer School program and included all age groups.

Health + Nutrition

Details
  • Provided Oral Health Kits that included oral health information/education to families during food and other distributions.
  • Virtual meetings and phone calls were scheduled with parents of children diagnosed with chronic illnesses, including asthma and diabetes.
  • Encouraged parents to use the tele-health option for physicals and consultations and to update their children’s vaccinations.

  • Harvest boxes of fresh, locally grown food from Keep Growing Detroit were also distributed.
  • Personal protective equipment and other COVID-related supplies and equipment were made available to families and staff.

At-Home Learning

Regular calendars of curriculum-based learning activities were also posted to the agency’s website on a special parents’ resources page.

Free Resources

More than 1000 families from both the Birth-5 and Child Care Partnership programs received $200 worth of food of their choosing over the course of six distributions. With these dollars families were able to select enough supplies to provide 12 meals plus cleaning or PPE supplies.

Youth Assistance Program

The mission of Youth Services is to provide a suite of services to children 7 – 17 years old that will enhance their quality of life, build confidence, self-esteem, improve their academic performance, provide life experiences that will prevent involvement with the juvenile justice system, and help overcome obstacles and barriers to success.

Adapting to COVID-19 meant that some staples of the program had to be put on hold, including our annual Spring Break Camp and Summer Camp.  However, youth partnerships continued to provide important services either virtually or safely in-person, and 100 laptops donated by HumanIT were also distributed to families in need to facilitate online communication. 

In 2021, 619 youth throughout the city benefitted from Youth Assistance Program opportunities and services.  94% of youth who completed the Peer Aspirations Survey at the beginning and end of their enrollment had increases in their future aspirations and confidence in their conflict management skills.

Community Health

The mission of the Matrix Community Health HIV/AIDS family of programs is to combat the AIDS epidemic through assisting individuals in determining their HIV positive/negative status, and in providing compassionate services and care to empower people living with HIV/AIDS to live healthy and independent lives.

Matrix Community Health provides a systematic approach toward addressing the social determinants of poverty and the impact that has on the health of people living with HIV, along with providing comprehensive wrap around services to treat and stabilize their medical condition.

In 2021, 1401 clients received services through our Matrix Community Health division. Funding was secured to provide resources to address the social determinants of health (housing, food, transportation, etc.) for persons living with HIV, as well as funding from the CDC to expand the HIV testing program.

  • The program also expanded its mental health treatment services working with third party insurers including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross & Blue Shield, as well as other insurances in providing clinical therapy to those in need.
  • By sending a phlebotomist to the client’s residence, clients were able to participate in tele-health with their medical provider along with being able to access lab services that allowed their physician to obtain the necessary labs needed without the patient risking exposure to COVID-19.

HIV Prevention Campaign

Every year, over 600 Michigan residents test positive for HIV and the majority are focused in the metro Detroit area. That is why the City of Detroit decided to partner with Matrix Human Services to create the largest HIV Prevention Ad campaign in Matrix history, at the end of 2021. The campaign consisted of 12 billboard ads throughout Detroit, one commercial shown on Comcast television channels, social media ads, and geofenced web ads, all directing traffic to a revamped webpage with virtual option to request services anonymously. Due to the success of the campaign, Matrix received more funding from the city to continue the campaign into 2022.

Adult Services

The collective goal of Adult Services is to support families and rebuild neighborhoods in Detroit through social and economic mobility. Our programs and services are designed to help clients move from poverty to self-sufficiency. We accomplish this through a variety of services such as:

Career coaching, various workforce development trainings, financial coaching, financial empowerment workshops, housing counseling, homebuyer workshops, resource navigation, adult online high school diploma program, and wellness/social engagement activities.

During 2021, the Adult Services Program provided 2,276 deliverables (measurable outcomes) for clients, some of them major milestones such as buying a house, or finally achieving a high school diploma. Often, they include families enrolled in our Head Start Program as well.

Senior Services

Our Senior Center has been assisting seniors to maintain healthy, active and fulfilled lives for over six decades. The goal of our Center for Seniors is to help seniors remain living in their homes, and to live vibrant, active, and socially engaged lives. The Center also fights against senior hunger and provides seniors access to low-cost non-emergency transportation.

Services within this program include: Personal/chores home care services, social, physical, and educational activities through the Senior Wellness Center, low-cost non-emergency medical transportation, health and nutrition support (including The Healthy Senior Living Initiative and Food Rx Program), and more.

Milestones & Outcomes

Health & Nutrition

Center For Seniors

Details

Before COVID-19, our Center for Seniors provided a space for seniors to come and socialize, enjoy guided exercise and games, and obtain resources. In response to the pandemic, staff provided remote services including mental health support, low-cost non-emergency medical transportation, and added crucial new services to help seniors at home, who were spending even more time isolated from friends and family. These included:

  • Senior Home Care Assistance Program: provides assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, laundry, meal preparation, shopping, and more
  • Senior Chore Services Program: provides assistance with home repairs and installations, and indoor and outdoor cleaning

21 seniors received in-home care services and 450 free round-trip transportation rides were provided to participants.

Internet Access

Details

Since staff were interacting with seniors mainly via the internet or phone, it was important to make sure seniors had access to both a computer and the internet, as well as training on how to use them. Matrix Human Services was extremely grateful to have partnered with Comcast OATS (Older Adults and Technology Services), to provide 44 seniors with new laptops and access to low-cost internet. This helped staff stay in touch with those seniors and provide important virtual socialization among other services.

Matrix Senior Advocate Receives “Unsung Hero” Award

As Senior Programs at Matrix Human Services continued to expand despite the pandemic, staff in the program quickly had to take on more roles and fill gaps. Soon, Dominque Jordan began to stand out, helping out all of the senior programs in various ways, on top of her role of handling senior home-care services and doing monthly check-ins. Dominque was still surprised, however, when she received the Unsung Hero Award from the Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA).
