Spin-offs
Although Vera's core mission has not changed in the 50 years since its inception, its projects and focus have evolved in concert with the needs of the people and government agencies it serves. One clear manifestation of this evolution has been Vera's history of spinning off some of its demonstration projects into separate nonprofit organizations. Of the dozens of demonstration projects Vera's initiated, 14 have become separate, autonomous entities--called "spin-offs"--with combined revenues of more than $200 million. Some of the more prominent of these spin-offs are Housing and Services Inc., Job Path, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Safe Horizon, Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem, and New York City Criminal Justice Agency.
