Catherine Martin INN (CMI) provides communal, long term housing for homeless, male veterans who have completed substance abuse rehabilitation programs and have maintained sobriety for at least nine months. The CMI program focuses on education and skills for future independence. The veterans receive case management services from social workers who assist them in achieving goals of self-sufficiency.  These case management services include life-skills training, home management, budgeting and educational/vocational training. Referrals are also given for counseling when needed. The rooms are offered at a reduced rental rate to give the veterans an opportunity to focus on their goals.  The INN works closely with the VA in Northport, as well as other veteran agencies, in connecting the CMI veterans to the necessary resources.

We are the only nonprofit organization on Long Island that has a comprehensive program for homeless families, providing safe, well maintained, affordable housing for 25 families, accompanied by a full range of intensive and supportive services. Homeless families who qualify for the program are offered apartments at a reduced rental rate. These families receive case management services to assist them with self-sufficiency goals. These services include counseling and case management, life skills training, tenancy and home management, educational tutoring for children and parents, and vocational training. The program focuses on the elimination of the causes of homelessness so that families can become independent and successfully graduate from our program.
