ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 Message from the CEO & Board Chair A round us every day, we see children living in poverty and under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. And this is certainly through no fault of their own. More than any of us, children deserve a chance to see possibilityвЂ”to hope for something more than what they currently see around them. Because the absence of hope in the life of a child is a tragic and unforgiving loss. But here is the simple truth. When vulnerable families are supported and given a path toward self-sufficiency, they are better equipped to raise successful children, and those children then become the framework for even stronger communities. Every child born into this world is full of potential. We must stand together to support the well being of all children, to ensure their ability to succeed, flourish and give back. Do you have to be responsible for other people? Certainly not. But if we want our communities to be as good as they can be, we must each accept the role we play in creating solutions to the problems around us. At Families First, our partners, funders, volunteers, and staff join forces every day to fill the broken places in our society for thousands across metro Atlanta, building a movement that sustains hope in the lives of children, families and entire communities. The contents of this Annual Report will give you hope and share some real stories of how our work really doesВ workвЂ”transforming lives and breaking the vicious cycles of poverty and negative circumstance. And youвЂ™ll note, our financials reflect expenses greater than revenue but this is related to the net change in the value of investments between the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 fiscal periods, a swing of $1.3 million dollars. Although our clients suffer immensely during challenging economic times, we have continued to respond to pressing needs by creating sustainable solutions for more than 37,000 children and families in the past year alone. Thank you for standing with us during our 2011-2012 program year. We look forward to continuing our work with you to help eliminate generational poverty, infuse hope into the lives of the hopeless, and lead all children to realize their dreams. We could not accomplish our mission and goals without you. In the spirit of continuing to effect long-term change, Kim Anderson Felicia Speetjens CEO 2011-2012 Board Chair Children are in jeopardy when their families are vulnerable and our communities are fragile. Families First works to create communities where all children have the opportunity to succeed, flourish and give back. We provide services that enhance the wellвЂ“being of children and families so that they are healthy, safe and self-sufficient. Families First: Because Children Should Never Come Last For Families When a community actively supports vulnerable families toward self-sufficiencyвЂ¦ Family Sustainability & Empowerment вЂ“ Strong families are better equipped to support itself, raise successful children and build communities that thrive. Our work helps individuals develop the skills and relationships necessary to become self-sufficient. Our programs increase a families access to services, resources, education, housing and employment in ways that lead to financial self sufficiency. BRIDGETTEвЂ™S вЂў Transitional and Supportive Housing вЂў Community Partnerships вЂў Asset Development S TO RY Prior to coming into the Shelter-A-Family program Bridgette, like many single mothers, was struggling financially to keep things afloat for her five children. Losing her job as a nonprofit professional and combatting depression, among other issues, led her to experience an episode, which left her homeless. Bridgette always worked so this situation came with lots of вЂњshame, discouragement and hopelessness.вЂќ However, being previously employed in the nonprofit arena she was familiar with Families First never thinking she would eventually need our services herself. She first received support through our counseling services. Then she was referred to the Shelter-A- Family housing program. вЂњThe housing services lifted a heavy burden that allowed me to focus on healing and guiding my children in the right direction, while working toward self-sufficiency,вЂќ said Bridgette. The Shelter-A-Family program provides permanent housing in connection with supportive services to homeless people with disabilities and their families. вЂњThe housing services lifted a heavy burden that allowed me to focus on healing and guiding my children in the right direction, while working toward self-sufficiency, said Bridgette. The program was not just a place to live; it provided onsite counseling support, helpful life skills workshops and valuable information to assist me with helping my children plan for their future. My oldest daughter graduated high school with honors and is now enrolled in college, working and living in her own apartment. She is studying International Business, is fluent in Mandarin, and has become a great example to her siblings. Our economy has made it such that people from all walks of life can get into a predicament that they would have never expected. I worked, paid into the system, and even raised money for the very industry to which I had to turn for help. When you need to access the resources you are grateful they are available for you. I shudder to think where I and my family would be without ShelterA-Family and the programs and services at Families First.вЂќ For Children Those families in turn will nurture thriving, successful childrenвЂ¦ Child & Youth Permanency вЂ“ Ensuring permanent family situations for children today will lead to adults who are better prepared to be effective parents tomorrow. We work to create long lasting relationships for children and youth in foster care, as well as those aging out of care, by identifying supportive adult relationships, reunifying families or finding new families, and providing resources to parents. вЂў Foster Care & Adoption Services вЂў Permanency Connections вЂў Family Resources вЂў Youth Residential Living C L A R K вЂ™ S S TO RY ClarkвЂ™s childhood would be unimaginable for most people. His mother died when he was eight years old and his father was unavailable to care for him. After being abused by relative caregivers, at age 11, Clark was sent to private foster care placement. At age 18 he was woefully unprepared to handle the decision making and basic daily skills required to be successful as an adult. The Independent Living Program gave him the chance to prepare for the real world and gradually take on everyday adult responsibilities...but most importantly it gave him a sense of family. So, when he was about to age out of the foster care system the state placed him in Families FirstвЂ™s Independent Living program (ILP). The program gave him the chance to prepare for the real world and gradually take on everyday adult responsibilities. The Independent Living Program provides supportive services to clients transitioning out of foster care. Youth ages 18-21 years of age live in supervised apartments, complete with individual coaching and support, while learning a variety of life skills to assist in their transition to adulthood. ILP provided Clark with stable housing, but most importantly it gave him a sense of family. His ILP Case Manager provided him with guidance and support, while giving him a chance to connect with other youth in the program and focus on his education goals. At Families First Clark learned about money management principles and how to create personal and professional goals. Since his transition out of the program, at age 21, Clark has made remarkable progress. He enlisted in the Army and is currently a Private First Class Combat Medic. He received an Associates of Science degree and is working on a BachelorвЂ™s degree in Healthcare Management. Today Clark is a single father, successful entrepreneur and owner of multiple real estate properties. He credits Families First in his success due to the love, support and guidance he received through the Independent Living Program. For Community Successful children are key to strengthening our communities today and tomorrow. Eventually making Families First unnecessary... Healthy Families & Relationships вЂ“ works to ensure that babies are born healthy; children and youth are prepared for school success; adults parent effectively; and families build healthy relationships and establish positive community connections. Our services include counseling, education and training, homebased coaching, mediation, and referrals to community resources. вЂў Healthy Babies, Healthy Moms вЂў Effective & Nurturing Parenting вЂў School Success вЂў Counseling & Support M I G U E LвЂ™ S S TO RY Never having attended an early childhood education or pre-K program, four-year-old Miguel was not socially or developmentally prepared for Kindergarten. Children who are not prepared for kindergarten are most likely to continue a cycle of academic underachievement. Miguel was shy and unable to respond to questions and his motor skills were underdeveloped. Within months of enrollment in the CHISPA program, MiguelвЂ™s motor skills were greatly improved and he became more confident, active and willing to explore his environment. When MiguelвЂ™s mother enrolled him in Families FirstвЂ™s CHISPA program, he had less than one year to prepare for Kindergarten. The CHISPA Parent Educator began by coaching MiguelвЂ™s mom on how to work with him at home, including using household items to learn. Within months, MiguelвЂ™s motor skills were greatly improved and he became more confident, active and willing to explore his environment. His mom also attended Families First community-based parenting education classes where parents were taught how to engage their children in learning and instruction. CHISPA is a school readiness initiative for parents of children, ages 0-5, and is designed to prepare children at-risk for success in school through home, school and community-based parent involvement and leadership. Within two months, the Parent Educator soon identified and arranged for Miguel to be placed in a nearby pre-K program with one of our early learning partner schools. MiguelвЂ™s pre-K teacher reported that Miguel was very knowledgeable and actually at an advanced level. Miguel is now in the second grade, thriving and doing exceptionally well.
