Case management is a unique service provided at New Horizons where homeless individuals meet one on one with a case manager to identify a goal plan to once again achieve self sufficiency. Case managers connect homeless people to housing, healthcare, employment, mental health, shelters and other targeted services. We know case management is working, while the number of individuals coming to New Horizons is on the rise, their length of stay is decreasing.

Team Depot Helps New Horizons
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
"It fits like a glove, one Home Depot Employee said as they installed a new counter top at 199 Manchester Street Soup Kitchen."
With over 200 meals per day, the old counter was literally flaking away and needed to be replaced. Through a national program, employees from Home Depot chose a shelter to serve. Throughout the entire day, New Horizons received help in the food pantry, shelter dormitory and soup kitchen.
Giving back is a fundamental value of The Home Depot and a passion for its associates. Through The Home Depot Foundation and its ongoing partnerships with nonprofit organizations, The Home Depot donates millions of hours, tools and supplies each year to community service projects.
Through Team Depot, The Home Depot’s associate-led volunteer program, associates work side-by-side to create life-long, meaningful relationships between the Company, our neighbors and our associates. Formalized in 1992, Team Depot programs bring together volunteerism, do-it-yourself expertise, product donations and monetary grants as a way to support the communities where the associates live and work.
