Our mission Victory Programs opens doors to recovery, hope and community for individuals and families facing homelessness, addiction and chronic illnesses like HIV/AIDS.

Our dedication Victory Programs proudly dedicates our 2016 annual report to:

Michael Whitmore, founder and principal architect at the firm Roundel 47, has for 25 years offered Victory Programs his distinguished multi-talented vision to design, construct and improve nearly all of our community-based health programs and housing sites.

His original artful building designs, masterful rehabs, state-of-the-art modification plans and meticulously studied zoning opinions have never ceased to amaze us. He makes each seemingly impossible project miraculously come true. In his work and in his life, Michael’s designs are nothing short of inspired and elegant.

Michael makes every square inch of life count.

And ….

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA), which operates both the Hynes Convention Center and the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. For nearly 25 years, the MCCA has generously donated the space at the Hynes and hosted our annual Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner in support of Boston’s HIV/AIDS community. The Celebration of Life is a popular community event for people living with HIV/AIDS with an important history dating back to the height of the AIDS crisis. This magnanimous in-kind donation year after year is truly a celebration of life and serves to give hope to everyone in the Boston HIV/AIDS community, and their family and friends.

dear friends of victory programs

For 41 years Victory Programs has earned its reputation as a great agency. Respect was never a given. We earn and re-earn the esteem of our clients and our community every day by ensuring our founders’ original promise: “All people deserve treatment and care. We take everyone.” This remains the fundamental foundation of every program and service we offer.

We earned our reputation as trailblazers in the 1970s: as the first to accept individuals diagnosed with both mental illness and addiction; the first to open our doors to Vietnam veterans combating the ravages of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder; the first to offer services to LGBTQ individuals long before concerns about LGBTQ equal rights hit the national stage.

We earned our reputation of serving the hardest to place individuals and families in the 1980s: as the first Massachusetts agency to open a women’s Section 35 residential home as an alternative to incarceration; the first agency to actively open all our services to individuals with HIV and symptomatic AIDS; the first to offer permanent housing for those in addiction recovery also living with HIV; the first to launch a statewide Mobile AIDS Resource Team.

We earned our reputation as leaders in the 1990s: as the first to open all our residential programs to those on medication-assisted treatment, thus ensuring medically-managed methadone maintenance was no longer a barrier to accessing residential services.

In the new century, the 2000s, we earned our reputation for expanding to meet emerging community needs when we opened our low-threshold Housing

First site in Roxbury; when we built ReVision Urban Farm to bring healthy nutritious food to our community; when we rewrote our philosophy of care to promote evidence-based, substance-use treatment services centered on a harm reduction model of care and treatment.

We earned our reputation as an agency willing to fight for vital resources again in the 2010s when we merged with the Boston Living Center; when we overcame the catastrophic loss of our major women’s treatment program on Boston Harbor’s Long Island after the bridge that served as the only access point was closed. We rose to the challenge, forging ahead until we acquired two alternative sites in Dorchester and Roxbury to rebuild new state-of-the-art women’s treatment programs.

Today, we still push new boundaries and we still earn our reputation. In 2015 we established our new Mobile Prevention Team. Everyday we work in the community to address sexual health risk factors, living with HIV, drug user health education and advocacy around access to treatment for Hepatitis C.

Throughout our history, we face down adversity, unpredictable losses, capricious political environments and fluctuating economic uncertainties to rise above challenges. Many have remarked:

“If anyone can make it, Victory Programs can.”

We earn our reputation one day at a time because we are always working to keep our original promise. We say “Victory is on the move” because, no matter what the emerging issue is, all people deserve treatment and care.

Drug User Health Project

The Drug User Health Project is one of the pilot locations for the State of Massachusetts’ Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution work. “The main thing we concentrate on is overdose education,” explains Christopher Richard, the Drug User Health Coordinator, “particularly in regards to opioids and naloxone distribution. What we are doing is getting naloxone into the hands of active users.”

The Drug User Health Project conducts trainings with partner organizations including Pine Street Shattuck Shelter, Rosie’s Place, St. Francis House, Women’s Lunch Place, Health Care Resource Centers and local community groups as well as internal trainings for Victory Programs’ clients. Individuals who have been through the trainings can obtain naloxone directly from the Drug User Health Project Outreach

“Meeting people where they are at” is the unofficial motto of our Mobile Prevention Team. In 2015, Victory Programs recognized the need to offer support to individuals and families through low-barrier, low-threshold services, beyond our core residential services. The team focuses on education, navigation and risk-assessment services for both internal and external high-risk clients including active drug users and individuals with chronic health issues like HIV/AIDS or Viral Hepatitis. The Mobile Prevention Team is comprised of four projects: Drug User Health, Positive Prevention, Primary Prevention and Viral Hepatitis. These projects each offer both group level interventions and individual interventions. Our Mobile Prevention Team staff can connect with clients for both one-time interventions and long-term support, often accompanying clients to appointments, connecting with their case managers and working with them on goal-setting and risk-assessment. Victory Programs is literally on the move, covering new ground. Meg von Lossnitzer, Deputy Director of Victory Prevention, leads the team.


Educators or through any Massachusetts pharmacy and are protected by Massachusetts Good Samaritan laws.

Positive Prevention ProjectOur Positive Prevention team works with individuals with a positive HIV diagnosis and offers peer support groups, one-on-one assessments and navigation services including referrals to care, emotional support, education and medication compliance assistance by connecting with individuals through peer support. “We learn about our clients’ risks through the initial risk-assessment and then ask them ‘What are your goals?’ We then help them work on those goals through follow-up visits,” says Revathi Penumatsa, the Positive Prevention Coordinator.

The Positive Prevention team facilitates workshops at our Boston Living Center including the peer support group "Bridges for Life" and the “Thriving Not Just Surviving” group for women. The team also organizes educational workshops at the Center. These workshops focus on education, goal-setting and policy issues of interest to the HIV positive community. The team also offers peer support groups at our Living and Recovering Community, Ruah House and Serenity Supportive Housing for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Primary Prevention/Sexual Health Risk Reduction ProjectSexual health sits at the intersection of so many of the challenges our health and housing clients face in their daily lives. “The Primary Prevention Project grew out of work I was already doing,” explains Linda Mazak, project coordinator. Linda has worked for Victory Programs for nearly 20 years.

“I believe in the work we do, in our philosophy of care and in meeting people where they are at,” she shares. The goal of the Primary Prevention/Sexual Health Risk Reduction Project is to decrease the rates of HIV & STI transmission. The project runs two evidence-based group interventions: VOICES and Safer Sex Skill Building in addition to working with clients one-on-one on goal-setting and risk-assessment.

Viral Hepatitis ProjectViral Hepatitis, which includes Hepatitis A, B and C, is a stealthy public health risk – often asymptomatic, individuals can live for years without knowing they’ve been infected. Unlike A and B, if left untreated Hepatitis C will develop into a chronic infection in 80% of cases and is likely to cause chronic liver disease.

As an organization, we recognized the urgent need for better education about Viral Hepatitis for our clients and our staff. The Viral Hepatitis Project is dedicated to expanding education around this often misunderstood disease, including how to reduce the risk of transmission and how to access highly-effective treatment specifically for Hepatitis C which was previously difficult to access due to insurance restrictions.

“The key to reducing the impact of Viral Hepatitis is frequent testing and early intervention,” Richard Baker, coordinator for the Viral Hepatitis Project, explains. “An infected individual can be cured in as little as 12 weeks using highly-effective medications with few side effects.” Last August, Massachusetts became the first state to mandate insurance coverage for the medication.

To date, the Drug User Health Project has enrolled 600 individuals in the Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution pilot program.

About 80% of Victory Programs’ clients across our health and housing programs are co-infected or mono-infected with Hepatitis C.

Dinnerfest RED Party + AuctionLast spring, hundreds of guests donned festive red attire to join Victory Programs at Red Lantern for the most successful Dinnerfest RED Party + Auction in the event’s 26 year history! Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery and Myers + Chang served as Honorary Co-Chairs with a star-studded Host Committee comprised of restauranteurs, local celebrities, elected officials and special friends. Professional auctioneer Kathy Kingston entertained guests with lively antics and Victory Programs client, Jen, riveted the audience with her personal story of addiction and recovery. Red Lantern treated us all to mouth-watering hors d’oeuvres while guests bid on dining packages from the area’s hottest restaurant destinations, adventurous vacation packages, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, theater tickets and more! Thanks to the care and generosity of our guests, corporate sponsors, restaurant community and in-kind donors, Dinnerfest 2016 set a record and raised over $123,000!

Celebration of Life Thanksgiving DinnerThere are scores of meaningful community events throughout Greater Boston, but none more heartfelt than our annual Celebration of Life Thanksgiving Dinner, a hope-filled evening free to anyone living with HIV/AIDS, and their loved ones. The event is the largest annual fundraiser for Victory Programs’ Boston Living Center (BLC). Each year our volunteers transform the Hynes Convention Center ballroom into an autumnal celebration with tables adorned by fanciful centerpieces in anticipation of the more than 600 guests who enjoyed a full-course Thanksgiving meal, live performances by Woza Moya and St. Paul AME & Grant AME Gospel Choir and a Resource Fair with over 30 participating organizations!

This year’s theme was Positive, Proud & Living Out Loud, a perfect sentiment for the presentation of the Peter Daniel Clark Award to Alfredo Hernandez Chavez, a long-time champion of the BLC and tireless advocate for all people living with HIV/AIDS.

We were also proud to honor Jo Ann Coull with the first-ever Brenda Bellizeare “Better It Gets” (BIG) Award for embodying the BLC’s core values of wellness, education and support for all its members. As always, we are grateful to the generous support of our corporate supporters, special friends and outstanding volunteers who helped us raise nearly $129,000 for the BLC and our members!

Drive for Victory Golf TournamentOur fourth annual golf tournament was held at Oakley Country Club, a verdant, private course steeped in history and nestled in Watertown, Massachusetts. We welcomed over 100 supporters who relished the gorgeous greens of this golfer’s paradise. This beautiful day included a buffet luncheon, 18 holes of golf, a silent auction, raffle, awards dinner and a take-away swag bag full of golfer treasures. Our corporate sponsors, in-kind donors and golfers once again gave generously, making Drive for Victory 2016 another one for the record books with nearly $53,000 raised for hope, health and housing!


For over 40 years, Victory Programs has welcomed staff, clients, alumni, board members and special guests for dinner and reflection. We bestow the Manny Jefferson Gratitude Award to an individual, organization or company who exhibits excellence in volunteerism and a commitment to helping our clients or improving our programs and services. We presented the 2016 Manny Jefferson Gratitude Awards to Boston College’s PULSE Program and to Victory Programs’ Board member and Shepherd House alum Elizabeth Dugan. This extraordinarily moving evening concluded with clients from across our 17 programs sharing their personal journeys.

Gratitude Dinner

Once again, Victory Programs teamed up with Dorchester hot spot, dbar, and our exceptional friends from Boston’s FLAG Flag Football League for our sixth annual Summer Sports Tea Dance. This packed afternoon of dancing, games, flirting and fun included an extensive sports-themed raffle and a hilarious #WigFun4Victory photo contest. Our enthusiastic partners and more than 500 guests, largely from the LGBT sports community, helped us raise over $10,000 for our health, housing and prevention programs.

Remembering Absent FriendsLovely. Gracious. Elegant. Kind. Jane Talamini brought a beautiful light into our world, and into Victory Programs. A gifted freelance travel-writer; an English teacher; a devotee

of preserving open space; a member of the historical society of Connecticut and most of all a proud Capricorn: the astrological sign known for being caring, loyal, patient, reliable, trustworthy, dedicated and passionate.

Jane shared a birthday with her friend Joelyn. Every year, without fail, on January 8, a note would arrive to Victory Programs from Jane and her husband Tom with a gift to Joelyn’s Family Home. It was always inscribed with these words: “Every day I think of my pal, Jo. I miss her so. Happy birthday to us. Love Jane and Tom.”

Two Capricorns. Two dear friends. Two shining stars. Basically, two moonbeams.

Catherine duBois Gaynes described herself as a proud black woman, a mother, a grandmother, a recovering drug addict/alcoholic, a public speaker, smart, stylish, humorous, interested and

interesting, current, open-minded, generous and giving. She is remembered by BLC members as a fighter, survivor and advocate for the community. Larry Day, Program Director at the Boston Living Center and a long-time member himself, adds “She was one of my early mentors, she taught me a lot and I will truly miss her.” She is missed dearly. She is loved deeply. She gave her whole spirit to our community entirely and freely.

New Joelyn’s Home

Nearly two-and-a-half years after the

unexpected closing of the only access bridge

to our state-of-the-art, 47-bed women’s

recovery home on Boston Harbor’s Long

Island, we are about to re-open a women’s

residential facility right here in the heart of

Boston! New Joelyn’s Home represents the

latest step in the process of rebuilding. First,

we began by opening the doors to New

Victories for Women, a 14-bed residential

treatment program in Dorchester. In addition

to opening New Victories for Women and

New Joelyn’s Home we’ve expanded capacity

for seven new and expectant mothers

at Shepherd House, our other women’s

residential treatment program in Dorchester.

When all is said and done, two-and-a-half

years after the closure of Long Island, Victory

Programs has replaced 45 of the 47 women’s

recovery beds previously located at Joelyn’s

Family Home.
