Dear Friends:<br />

Deep poverty is at the source of many of the challenges that the majority of people served<br />

by CGSHB face. Because of poverty, families <strong>and</strong> individuals experience tremendous stress<br />

which for some leads to isolation, drug <strong>and</strong> alcohol abuse, child maltreatment, domestic<br />

violence, <strong>and</strong> homelessness. Not only does CGSHB respond to the urgent needs for child<br />

protection <strong>and</strong> family rehabilitation, but our services also aim to help address the root cause<br />

– poverty.<br />

CGSHB looks deeply into the lives of the thous<strong>and</strong>s of people we touch each year. We underst<strong>and</strong> that they wish<br />

for productive <strong>and</strong> happy lives. They want to be safe, healthy, educated, gainfully employed, to have families, <strong>and</strong><br />

to be able to fulfill their hopes <strong>and</strong> dreams. They ask for family <strong>and</strong> friends that will love <strong>and</strong> help, <strong>and</strong> not harm<br />

them. They come to us with their h<strong>and</strong>s out-stretched, trusting that we will help.<br />

CGSHB, with its skilled <strong>and</strong> devoted staff <strong>and</strong> caregivers,<br />

is the agent that helps to make all of this<br />

possible. The heart of CGSHB responds with<br />

great care <strong>and</strong> compassion.<br />

Life is so busy for many of us. We rush<br />

about tending to the many dem<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong><br />

obligations of our lives. We are thankful<br />

when we have time to rest <strong>and</strong> reflect<br />

upon our many blessings. When we have<br />

these precious moments, we often turn to loving<br />

family <strong>and</strong> friends <strong>and</strong> to our communities<br />

to enjoy them with. At the same time, when we<br />

are rushing about, it is important to be aware that<br />

often the people next to us, perhaps sitting on<br />

the subway or bus, or passing by on the sidewalk, are<br />

in great need. Some of them are in need of the services<br />

that CGSHB can provide.<br />

CGSHB has been serving thous<strong>and</strong>s of people in great need<br />

each year for the past 113 years. That translates into hundreds<br />

of thous<strong>and</strong>s of people served. It’s reassuring to know that they are<br />

receiving quality <strong>and</strong> compassionate care.<br />

I invite you to come <strong>and</strong> look at some of the lives made better because of CGSHB. And, I thank all of the<br />

dedicated staff, caregivers, community partners, supporters, donors, <strong>and</strong> CGSHB’s Board of Directors for<br />

. making this good work possible.<br />

Most sincerely,<br />

Craig Longley<br />

Acting Executive Director

Quality <strong>and</strong><br />

CGSHB serves many of the neediest people in the New York City metro-<br />

politan area. We protect <strong>and</strong> nurture disadvantaged children <strong>and</strong> individuals with<br />

disabilities, increase their prospects for self-sufficiency, strengthen the family<br />

structures integral to their support, <strong>and</strong> continually adapt our responses to their<br />

ever-changing needs.<br />

Sometimes, even in these troubled economic times, it is difficult to comprehend<br />

how challenging life is for many of the families we serve. Here in New York,<br />

one of the wealthiest cities in the world, almost 21% of the population lives in<br />

poverty as measured by an income of just $19,090 for a family of three. In those<br />

neighborhoods where so many CGSHB families live, the situation is even worse.<br />

A full one-third of Bronx residents, for example, live in poverty.<br />

Innocent children, as always, are the hardest hit. Nearly 30% of all New York<br />

City children are in families living in poverty … <strong>and</strong> are threatened by the social<br />

maladies it engenders – homelessness, domestic violence, <strong>and</strong> child abuse <strong>and</strong><br />

neglect. It is shocking to realize that 19,000 children sleep in NYC homeless<br />

shelters every night, including two operated by CGSHB.<br />

Life is equally challenging for individuals with developmental disabilities <strong>and</strong><br />

their families. Regardless of economic circumstances, all of these parents worry<br />

10,000<br />

Vulnerable New Yorkers in Need


Compassionate Care<br />

about their children’s future security once they themselves no longer can provide<br />

care. And, all too often, these families must confront both developmental disabilities<br />

<strong>and</strong> the scourge of poverty.<br />

In response, CGSHB develops <strong>and</strong> delivers high impact, high quality programs<br />

<strong>and</strong> services to assist these children, individuals, <strong>and</strong> families in crisis. We<br />

help them stabilize their lives <strong>and</strong> build towards a safe, secure <strong>and</strong> self-sufficient<br />

future.<br />

We employ trained professionals who are deeply committed to achieving<br />

significant, positive outcomes for the people who come to us for help. We work<br />

with policy makers, practitioners, researchers <strong>and</strong> academia to find <strong>and</strong> implement<br />

“best practice” programs – including many which are “evidence-based” with<br />

nationally-recognized track records of success.<br />

With over 1,200 employees deployed across 6 offices <strong>and</strong> 40 residential facilities,<br />

CGSHB serves thous<strong>and</strong>s of people in need every day.<br />

Our goal today is the same as it has been for 113 years -- to have a meaningful<br />

influence on the lives of infants, children, youth, <strong>and</strong> adults <strong>and</strong> to provide them<br />

with the life changing help they need… at a time when they need it most.<br />

Rosalie Hall Maternity Services<br />

There are few more desperate situations than those faced by women who are pregnant,<br />

without resources <strong>and</strong> support – some homeless <strong>and</strong> victims of domestic violence.<br />

Rosalie Hall Maternity Services helps these women <strong>and</strong> their children to overcome the<br />

potential threats of homelessness, lack of health care, inadequate nutrition, uncertain citizenship<br />

status, educational deficiencies, unemployment, mental health challenges <strong>and</strong> domestic abuse.<br />

RHMS assists young mothers to access pre- <strong>and</strong> post-natal health care, as well as nutrition<br />

assistance, in order to ensure the safe delivery of their baby.<br />

RHMS helps women to develop a realistic life plan for how they will support <strong>and</strong> care for<br />

their child, including education, employment, <strong>and</strong> child care considerations. RHMS refers mothers<br />

to appropriate governmental benefits <strong>and</strong> supports <strong>and</strong>, where necessary, provides direct<br />

donations of baby clothes, maternity furniture <strong>and</strong> child care supplies.<br />

RHMS’ new Parenting Journey classes are a nationally-recognized program that helps parents<br />

who may never have been nurtured themselves learn to raise <strong>and</strong> care for their own children.<br />

The Parenting Journey works through example by giving parents the love <strong>and</strong> support they may<br />

have missed when they were children. Over meals in a warm <strong>and</strong> supportive environment, parents<br />

are encouraged to care for themselves <strong>and</strong> each other while participating in a series of experiential<br />

exercises <strong>and</strong> activities that teach them concrete skills – <strong>and</strong> how to be loving parents.<br />

For women who believe they are not in a position to raise a child themselves, RHMS offers<br />

counseling on “The Adoption Option”. RHMS assists young mothers in all aspects of placing a<br />

child for adoption, including selection of adoptive parents, legal referrals, choosing an appropriate<br />

level of “openness” in the adoption, <strong>and</strong> pre- <strong>and</strong> post-adoption counseling.<br />

While thous<strong>and</strong>s of young women in New York may be pregnant <strong>and</strong> without sufficient<br />

resources, CGSHB believes that they never need be alone. Rosalie Hall Maternity Services is<br />

there to help them get their family off to a safe <strong>and</strong> healthy start.<br />

Young Mothers Helped<br />

Cribs Donated to Families


For Her<br />

Daughter’s Future<br />

Fatema made the decision to flee her war-torn<br />

African homel<strong>and</strong> after learning that she was pregnant<br />

with a baby girl. She didn’t want her daughter<br />

to grow up facing the same persecution <strong>and</strong><br />

torture that she had.<br />

Once in the United States, however, the culture<br />

shock, her dire circumstances <strong>and</strong> anxiety over<br />

the imminent birth of her daughter all became<br />

overwhelming. She knew she needed help – but<br />

had nowhere to turn. Thankfully, a hospital social<br />

worker referred her to CGSHB’s Rosalie Hall Maternity<br />

Services (RHMS).<br />

Kaci Krpec, her RHMS social worker, helped her<br />

seek legal asylum in the U.S. as a victim of torture.<br />

Throughout the lengthy application process, RHMS<br />

met Fatema’s most urgent needs for food, housing,<br />

health care <strong>and</strong> baby supplies. In addition,<br />

Kaci offered counseling, parenting education <strong>and</strong><br />

emotional support.<br />

“What st<strong>and</strong>s out the most about Fatema, despite<br />

her struggles, is her ability to stay positive,” says<br />

Kaci. “You can always count on her to come into<br />

the office smiling <strong>and</strong> graciously thanking everyone<br />

for all the help she has been given.” It is no coincidence<br />

that her adorable daughter seems to carry<br />

these same exceptional traits. “At eight months<br />

now, she is always calm, sweet, <strong>and</strong> smiling from<br />

ear to ear,” says Kaci.<br />

“I’m just so grateful to have found you all,” says<br />

Fatema. “You’ve done so much for me <strong>and</strong> my<br />

baby. I find myself crying sometimes because I<br />

am just so happy to have you around me <strong>and</strong> my<br />

baby.”

The Miracle of Adoption<br />

Every year, CGSHB adoptions permanently transform hundreds of lives – both for children<br />

who are alone in the world <strong>and</strong> for men <strong>and</strong> women who wish to give them a loving family.<br />

In FY2012, we arranged for the adoption of 119 children who previously had been placed<br />

in foster care. In many cases, these were children who had already suffered through parental<br />

abuse or neglect, <strong>and</strong> subsequently been ab<strong>and</strong>oned.<br />

When a return home is not possible, CGSHB places children with foster families who have<br />

expressed an interest in adoption. We identify potential adoptive parents whose interests <strong>and</strong><br />

capabilities are appropriate for the particular needs of an individual foster care child.<br />

Our Rosalie Hall Maternity Services (RHMS) Division facilitates both international <strong>and</strong><br />

domestic adoptions.<br />

The RHMS International Adoption Program is accredited under the Hague Convention on<br />

Protection of Children with Respect to Inter-Country Adoption. We work with orphanages <strong>and</strong>/<br />

or national authorities in Bulgaria <strong>and</strong> the Dominican Republic. As a “waiting child” placement<br />

agency, we locate families in the NYC area who wish to adopt children from these countries who<br />

have already been approved by local authorities as in need of international adoption.<br />

We have also worked with Hague accredited partner agencies to facilitate adoptions of<br />

children from Russia <strong>and</strong> Ethiopia. And, we provide the necessary home assessment <strong>and</strong> local<br />

supervision necessary for families to complete “kinship adoptions” of relatives from the Dominican<br />

Republic, Jamaica, Guyana, Panama <strong>and</strong> Haiti.<br />

Our Domestic Adoptions include a Private Adoption program through which we match the<br />

children of young women in our RHMS program who choose the “Adoption Option” with prospective<br />

adoptive parents. We reach out to a broad range of nonprofit agencies, attorneys, social<br />

workers, medical personnel, <strong>and</strong> clergy members in order to make our services widely available.<br />

Through the miracle of adoption, we create new <strong>and</strong> “forever families.”<br />

Searching for a<br />

Happy Ending<br />

Shawnisha Ford would seem to have it all. At the<br />

age of 12, she is a four-time honor roll student,<br />

friendly <strong>and</strong> popular, who likes to write poetry<br />

<strong>and</strong> short stories. She loves to dance, <strong>and</strong> enjoys<br />

macaroni <strong>and</strong> cheese. When she grows up,<br />

Shawnisha hopes to become a teacher, a pediatrician…<br />

or maybe a poet. She is already thinking<br />

about college. Last year, she visited Penn State<br />

<strong>and</strong> the University of Connecticut.<br />

There is only one thing missing: a family of her<br />

own.<br />

Shawnisha was placed in foster care in 2005. In<br />

2009, her case was transferred to CGSHB .<br />

“She is one of the most articulate <strong>and</strong> motivated<br />

children I have ever met,” says Case Planner<br />

Thomas Harris who has worked with Shawnisha<br />

since then.<br />

Now, Mr. Harris <strong>and</strong> Adoption Specialist Shawn<br />

Lightburn are working hard to make sure that<br />

Shawnisha gets that permanent loving home<br />

she deserves. She was recently profiled in the<br />

Wednesday’s Child segment of WNBC-TV News,<br />

which highlights local children seeking adoptive<br />

homes, <strong>and</strong> lit up the switchboard.<br />

It seems, however, that Shawnisha’s future family<br />

may have been waiting a little closer to home.<br />

The mother of her best friend has indicated that<br />

the family would like to adopt Shawnisha. A<br />

Pre-Adoptive <strong>Home</strong> Study is underway. That<br />

would be poetry!

Foster Family <strong>and</strong> Residential Care<br />

CGSHB’s Foster Family <strong>and</strong> Residential Care programs offer immediate safety, as well as a path<br />

to permanent security, for children who are temporarily unable to live at home with their families due to<br />

a risk of abuse or neglect.<br />

Approximately 700 carefully trained foster families provide warm <strong>and</strong> caring homes for more than<br />

1,000 children in Manhattan <strong>and</strong> the Bronx. Our larger <strong>and</strong> professionally-staffed residential programs<br />

are available for children who are older <strong>and</strong> require higher levels of therapeutic services.<br />

Our primary goal is to help families resolve any issues which may be an obstacle to reunification.<br />

We offer counseling <strong>and</strong> referrals for parenting skills training, substance abuse treatment, mental<br />

health services, housing <strong>and</strong> employment programs, etc. In FY2012, we were successful in safely<br />

reuniting 425 children with their families -- 25% of those placed in our care.<br />

In cases where reunification is not possible, we assist children in finding new homes through<br />

adoptive families.<br />

In addition to traditional foster family settings, we offer specialized foster care programs to meet<br />

the varying therapeutic needs of children in our care:<br />

• Our Kinship Family Foster Care program allows children to be placed with loving family members<br />

– gr<strong>and</strong>parents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, cousins, etc.<br />

• Treatment Family Foster Care serves over 100 children with serious emotional challenges.<br />

• Our new Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) Program serves adolescents with serious<br />

antisocial or delinquent behaviors <strong>and</strong>/or juvenile justice involvement.<br />

• Our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Group <strong>Home</strong>s are community-based alternatives to<br />

psychiatric hospital placement, in which youth are provided with comprehensive mental health<br />

services.<br />

• Young women in foster care who have children of their own or are pregnant are served by our<br />

Rosalie Hall Maternity Services program.<br />

The Dean’s List<br />

Angelee Camacho has a goal. She realized while<br />

in high school that she wanted to become a<br />

Special Education Teacher. Now, the 19-year-old<br />

is working hard to make that dream a reality as a<br />

Junior at Wells College in Aurora, NY.<br />

CGSHB first began working with Angelee six years<br />

ago when she entered foster care <strong>and</strong> began living<br />

with her aunt, as a result of her family’s chronic<br />

addiction to drugs <strong>and</strong> alcohol.<br />

For too many children, early childhood traumas<br />

that ultimately require foster care placement<br />

create an overwhelming emotional obstacle to<br />

success <strong>and</strong> happiness later in life. With the help<br />

of her aunt <strong>and</strong> CGSHB, Angelee has been able to<br />

overcome these extraordinary challenges that so<br />

often lead to academic failure, unemployment <strong>and</strong><br />

homelessness.<br />

Angelee’s ambition to teach comes as no surprise<br />

to Caroline Duran, her CGSHB Case Planner who<br />

has known her since 2010. “She always encourages<br />

her younger siblings to read <strong>and</strong> perform well<br />

in school,” says Ms. Duran. Meanwhile, Angelee is<br />

doing pretty well herself. “I made the Dean’s List<br />

last year,” she explains.<br />

Angelee keeps busy <strong>and</strong> active even when not<br />

hitting the books. She enjoys reading, dancing<br />

<strong>and</strong> sports. And, she has a job at the local movie<br />

theater.<br />

While Angelee misses her aunt, she knows that<br />

going away to college is an important step in life.<br />

“My aunt always told me that you have to grow up<br />

to be your own person,” she says.

Youth Development<br />

For far too many foster care youth, the transition to adulthood at age 21 has meant a life<br />

of unemployment <strong>and</strong> homelessness. At CGSHB, we are working hard to make certain that<br />

our children enjoy a significantly brighter future.<br />

Our Youth Development Department prepares all youth in our foster care program between<br />

the ages of 14-21 to become physically <strong>and</strong> emotionally healthy, socially <strong>and</strong> economically<br />

self-reliant, as well as educationally <strong>and</strong> vocationally prepared for a successful future.<br />

Youth Development <strong>and</strong> Education Specialists provide referrals for tutorial services, Special<br />

Education programs, GED services, <strong>and</strong> pre- <strong>and</strong> post- college admissions support.<br />

Our Preparing Youth for Adulthood skills trainings offer real world preparation for the challenges<br />

of living independently, including money management, health <strong>and</strong> nutrition, accessing<br />

community resources, <strong>and</strong> finding housing.<br />

Career planning, vocational training <strong>and</strong> work experience are particularly critical.<br />

A few years ago, CGSHB launched an exciting new collaboration with Swissport, a major<br />

international provider of ground services at airports. Through this partnership, we are able to<br />

offer our own foster care youth as well as those from other local foster care agencies – training<br />

<strong>and</strong> valuable entry-level employment in the rapidly exp<strong>and</strong>ing travel, transportation <strong>and</strong> hospitality<br />

industry. CGSHB provides initial screening <strong>and</strong> pre-employment preparation; Swissport<br />

offers job-specific skills training <strong>and</strong> paid positions in its wide array of operations at John F.<br />

Kennedy International Airport.<br />

CGSHB has developed a Culinary Arts Program for older foster care youth interested in<br />

pursuing careers in the restaurant <strong>and</strong> food services industry. We offer a series of trainings<br />

through the Institute for Culinary Education in Manhattan at which young people learn kitchen<br />

fundamentals. We also are exploring ways to exp<strong>and</strong> our program through collaborations<br />

with organizations such as the Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) <strong>and</strong> Women’s<br />

Housing <strong>and</strong> Economic Development Corporation (WHEDco) in the Bronx.<br />

Gateway to the World<br />

Danielle Rivera is going places. Since leaving<br />

foster care last May, the 22-year-old has been<br />

serving as a ground hostess for a variety of airlines<br />

at John F. Kennedy International Airport.<br />

“Right now I’m working with Singapore Airlines,”<br />

she says. “I check people in for their flights, take<br />

their baggage, give them their boarding passes<br />

<strong>and</strong> help them to board the plane.”<br />

Danielle’s entry-level position – a critical first step<br />

towards a real career in the travel/transportation/<br />

hospitality industry – has been made possible<br />

through CGSHB’s partnership with Swissport,<br />

an international provider of ground services at<br />

airports around the globe. During the past year<br />

alone, Danielle already has had experience with<br />

several Swissport clients – Royal Air Maroc, Meridean<br />

Airways, Hellenic <strong>and</strong> XL Airways France.<br />

“I love working at the airport,” says Danielle. “Every<br />

day I meet different people who are travelling<br />

all over the world.”<br />

For the moment, Danielle is logging plenty of<br />

miles right here in NYC, commuting from her<br />

apartment in the Bronx to both JFK <strong>and</strong> Borough<br />

of Manhattan Community College, where she<br />

soon will be graduating with an Associate’s Degree.<br />

“I travel to three different boroughs every<br />

day,” she says.<br />

Danielle Rivera’s reward for the hard work <strong>and</strong><br />

“frequent flier” subway miles will be more than<br />

just a one-time upgrade to first class. It’s a passport<br />

to an infinitely bigger world <strong>and</strong> a boarding<br />

pass for a good career <strong>and</strong> a better life.

Family Day Care<br />

CGSHB’s Family Day Care program has been a win-win-win for poor <strong>and</strong> low income<br />

Bronx families for almost a quarter century.<br />

• Children participate in a carefully structured program that is both educational <strong>and</strong> recreational.<br />

They learn to socialize with children their own age, under adult supervision, while<br />

also preparing for future success in school when they move on to kindergarten <strong>and</strong> the<br />

first grade.<br />

• Parents can work or attend school knowing that their children are safe <strong>and</strong> well cared for<br />

in a high-quality program that is matched to their ability to pay;<br />

• Our trained <strong>and</strong> licensed Family Day Care Providers have the opportunity to develop<br />

their own home-based small business, earning a good income for their families while also<br />

meeting a critical community need.<br />

Our program offered up to ten hours per day of care, five days per week, for children<br />

aged 6 months up to age 13. Care is provided in the homes of Family Day Care Providers<br />

who are recruited, trained <strong>and</strong> supervised by CGSHB. All providers are licensed by the New<br />

York City Department of Health (DOH).<br />

Providers offer a structured educational program as well as indoor <strong>and</strong> outdoor recreation<br />

on a daily basis. They provide two full course meals <strong>and</strong> one snack that are reimbursed<br />

by the DOH.<br />

CGSHB’s Family Day Care Program is a supplemental child welfare program. Eligibility<br />

is determined based on income guidelines <strong>and</strong>/ or policies set by the NYC Administration for<br />

Children’s Services. Parents or guardians must be employed, seeking employment, <strong>and</strong>/or<br />

attending school or a training program. Family day care also is offered to foster parents <strong>and</strong> to<br />

parents of children who may be at risk of foster care placement.<br />

During FY2012, our 105 Family Day Care Providers cared for 467 children every day.<br />

Providers with Businesses of Their Own


Families Helping Families<br />

Family Child Care offers many women an opportunity<br />

to build their own small business – while also<br />

providing a valuable service to their community.<br />

Five days a week for the last 12 years, Denia Lopez<br />

has opened her home <strong>and</strong> looked after her neighbors’<br />

children from 8:00 in the morning until 6:00<br />

in the afternoon.<br />

“These mothers would not be able to go to work if<br />

we weren’t here,” she explains.<br />

For Denia, however, Family Child Care is also something<br />

of a family tradition. “My mother had a child<br />

care business when I was growing up,” she says.<br />

“I used to help out. And, I found out that I liked it<br />

<strong>and</strong> wanted to do it too.”<br />

After beginning as a Family Child Care provider for<br />

six children, Denia exp<strong>and</strong>ed to Group Family Child<br />

Care serving up to 12. She brought in her husb<strong>and</strong>,<br />

Amaruy, as a partner. “I wanted a helper I could<br />

trust,” she says.<br />

CGSHB provides referrals, oversight <strong>and</strong> the training<br />

Denia <strong>and</strong> other providers are m<strong>and</strong>ated to<br />

receive as part of the licensing process. “We want<br />

to ensure these children are ready when they go to<br />

kindergarten,” says Denia.<br />

And, perhaps, the generational cycle is about to<br />

repeat itself. “Now, my kids are helping me out<br />

afterschool,” she says.

Family Support Services<br />

Children do best when living at home with parents who love them. Our Family Support<br />

Services programs help families to overcome the challenges of poverty, unemployment, homelessness,<br />

mental illness, substance abuse <strong>and</strong>/or domestic violence which can place a child at<br />

risk of abuse or neglect.<br />

Professionally trained Case Managers provide parents with counseling, guidance <strong>and</strong><br />

support while ensuring the child’s safety, thereby avoiding any further trauma that can come<br />

with a removal <strong>and</strong> foster care placement.<br />

Our Family First <strong>and</strong> Family Unity Preventive Services Programs bring safety <strong>and</strong> stability<br />

to over 1,000 families annually in the Parkchester/Soundview <strong>and</strong> Williamsbridge/ Baychester<br />

sections of the Bronx.<br />

Our Parenting Journey Training allows parents to improve their parenting skills by exploring<br />

<strong>and</strong> then addressing the impact of their own childhood family experiences.<br />

Other specially-designed services meet the particular needs of individual families:<br />

• Intensive Preventive <strong>and</strong> After-Care Services (IPAS) is a unique comprehensive program<br />

using Functional Family Therapy, a nationally recognized therapeutic model, in reducing<br />

recidivism for youthful offenders.<br />

• Healthy Families Parkchester is an evidence-based program which ensures the healthy<br />

development of children from before birth to three years of age.<br />

• The Family Unity Program now focuses its interventions on families affected by substance<br />

abuse <strong>and</strong> mental illness.<br />

The safety of children is always our first priority. Once that is assured, we believe that<br />

preserving <strong>and</strong> strengthening their families as a whole is the best way to give children<br />

opportunities for a safe, happy <strong>and</strong> successful future.<br />

mothers. The birth of a child can be both a<br />

joyous … <strong>and</strong> a difficult… time. When Wendy<br />

Pagan gave birth to her son Jose, staff at the<br />

hospital were concerned that she might not be<br />

able to appropriately care for her new baby.<br />

After a referral to New York City’s Administration<br />

for Children’s Services, <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Guardian</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> was called in to help ensure<br />

that Wendy <strong>and</strong> her husb<strong>and</strong> Jose, Sr. would have<br />

the help they needed… <strong>and</strong> that little Jose could<br />

remain safely at home with his parents.<br />

CGSHB Preventive Case Planner Lovy C. Dorceus,<br />

B.S. has been working with the Pagans during the<br />

past several months, helping to ensure that Wendy<br />

receives appropriate medical care. Ms. Dorceus<br />

also enrolled the couple in parenting classes <strong>and</strong><br />

other appropriate programs.<br />

“The Pagans have been extremely receptive<br />

to services,” says Ms. Dorceus. “Mrs. Pagan is<br />

doing well, taking her medications <strong>and</strong> keeping<br />

her doctors’ appointments. Mr. Pagan has<br />

been willing to participate in the workshops <strong>and</strong><br />

classes we recommend. The whole family is doing<br />

very well.”<br />

“I love my baby,” says Wendy. “I am the mother<br />

of my baby <strong>and</strong> no one could love him more<br />

than me.”

Shelter for <strong>Home</strong>less Women <strong>and</strong> Children<br />

Sadly, the vast majority of New York City homeless shelter residents are mothers <strong>and</strong> children.<br />

Many of these women find themselves in need of transitional housing due to economic stress. They<br />

lose their jobs; then they lose their apartments. Many others, however, are fleeing lives filled with<br />

domestic violence or substance abuse in the hopes of building a new future for themselves <strong>and</strong> their<br />

children.<br />

CGSHB offers shelter for a total of 26 women <strong>and</strong> their children at the Mother Elizabeth Seton<br />

Residence <strong>and</strong> the Mitty Transitional Housing Program on any one day. Both of these residential<br />

programs are located in the Bronx <strong>and</strong> accept women <strong>and</strong> their children who are referred by the NYC<br />

Department of <strong>Home</strong>less Services.<br />

In addition to safe <strong>and</strong> secure housing, each of the CGSHB residential programs offers a full<br />

range of counseling <strong>and</strong> support services to help young mothers <strong>and</strong> women in crisis build a happy<br />

<strong>and</strong> successful future for their families. We provide assessments, counseling <strong>and</strong> referrals to outside<br />

resources for education, employment <strong>and</strong> permanent housing, as well as parenting skills <strong>and</strong> substance<br />

abuse/mental health services where needed.<br />

Our programs also take special steps to address the well documented health risks associated<br />

with homelessness. An estimated one-third of homeless mothers have chronic health conditions<br />

such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease <strong>and</strong> hypertension. One third of infants<br />

who are born into homelessness lack the essential immunizations <strong>and</strong> face increased risk for infectious<br />

diseases. Poor diets also lead to nutritional problems such as stunted growth, obesity, <strong>and</strong><br />

vitamin deficiencies. Our on-site Registered Nurse affords each family with much-needed medical<br />

services as well as referrals to immunizations, mental health, nutrition, dental care, smoking cessations,<br />

<strong>and</strong> developmental screenings. She also advocates for clients who are changing health plans.<br />

At CGSHB, our transitional housing for women <strong>and</strong> children is only temporary. Yet, we believe<br />

the services we provide to these families during their stay can have a positive impact that will last a<br />

lifetime.<br />

Safety for Her<br />

Children’s Sake<br />

Tashiea had been living with family - <strong>and</strong> her<br />

18-month-old daughter Rihver - when she knew it<br />

was time to find help.<br />

“Family members had relapsed,” she explains, her<br />

eyes reliving a lifetime of pain from family struggles<br />

with drug addiction. “There were all sorts of<br />

people coming <strong>and</strong> going at all hours. It was an<br />

unsafe environment for my daughter. I needed to<br />

find someplace safe.”<br />

New York City’s Department of <strong>Home</strong>less Services<br />

referred her to <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Guardian</strong>’s Mitty<br />

Transitional Housing program in the Bronx, where<br />

she received the support she needed to get her<br />

life back on track.<br />

With two years of college already under her belt,<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Guardian</strong> helped Tashiea plan to begin<br />

a nursing program at Bronx Community College<br />

in September. And, she is on the waiting list for<br />

semipermanent housing available for eligible<br />

students.<br />

At 26 Tashiea knows what she wants - a safe <strong>and</strong><br />

secure life for Rihver <strong>and</strong> her new baby boy, due<br />

any time. She also knows ~ what she has to do to<br />

get it. “I want to go to school <strong>and</strong> get a career,”<br />

she says .<br />

One thing that Tashiea never wanted to do<br />

was drugs. “I saw what it did to my family,” she<br />

explains sadly.

<strong>Home</strong> & Family<br />

for Individuals with Disabilities<br />

CGSHB is both home <strong>and</strong> family for almost 200 individuals with developmental disabilities.<br />

They live in our 32 community-based residential <strong>and</strong> respite programs throughout New<br />

York City <strong>and</strong> Long Isl<strong>and</strong>, where they are cared for by our deeply committed <strong>and</strong> caring direct<br />

support staff.<br />

Many of these consumers have lived with us for decades, coming to CGSHB following the<br />

closure of large State institutions. Others joined us when loving but aging family members were no<br />

longer able to provide appropriate care at home. The individuals we serve live with a wide range of<br />

challenges, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy <strong>and</strong> more.<br />

All of our residential programs are geared to the varying <strong>and</strong> individual needs <strong>and</strong> ability<br />

levels of the residents. Several programs serve those who are multiply disabled, including our<br />

long-st<strong>and</strong>ing residence for individuals who are both developmentally disabled <strong>and</strong> blind; a<br />

new <strong>and</strong> growing program for consumers who are also deaf; <strong>and</strong> one of our newest homes for<br />

those who have recently aged out of foster care.<br />

CGSHB’s mission is to assist all of our residents – including those with the most severe disabilities<br />

-- to live the fullest, most rewarding life possible. Our staff support individuals in becoming<br />

a part of their local community. They go to day programs; work as volunteers or in paid jobs; attend<br />

school; <strong>and</strong> participate in a broad range of recreational <strong>and</strong> cultural activities. Our consumers do<br />

everything from playing soccer <strong>and</strong> going bowling, to visiting the Museum of Modern Art <strong>and</strong> travelling<br />

to Hungary to represent the United States at a special camp for people with disabilities. Most<br />

recently, we began offering paid apprenticeships for consumers so that they could have valuable<br />

work experience to put on their resumes. They work with us for 6 months, gain valuable employment<br />

skills <strong>and</strong> experience, <strong>and</strong> then seek jobs in the open market.<br />

At CGSHB, we help our residents make their dreams come true.<br />

The Story of His Life<br />

Kash Brown has a big smile <strong>and</strong> an even bigger<br />

heart. You can sense his inner strength in the<br />

way he carries himself -- despite the developmental<br />

challenges, the pain of losing his mother<br />

at the age of 9, <strong>and</strong> growing up in foster care.<br />

And, you can hear it… this blend of sensitivity<br />

<strong>and</strong> determination… in the three rap CDs he has<br />

written <strong>and</strong> produced over the last five years.<br />

I know things don’t happen that easy…<br />

Got to work hard for whatever you want.<br />

It’s the story of my life.<br />

It’s a struggle but I can’t give up!<br />

It’s the story of my life.<br />

Kash is an artist <strong>and</strong> a young man making a<br />

very special place in the world. At 27, he now<br />

shares an apartment with two other individuals<br />

who also rely on a range of supports from<br />

CGSHB’s Developmental Disabilities Services<br />

Program.<br />

Kash’s goal, however, is to live independently<br />

– <strong>and</strong> CGSHB is helping to make it happen. He<br />

recently graduated with a certificate from the<br />

Global Business Institute <strong>and</strong> works several<br />

days a week as an assistant at the agency’s<br />

Bronx Foster Care office.<br />

“I want to have a nice career <strong>and</strong> be able to<br />

support what I love to do… my music,” he says.<br />

That, Kash has decided for himself, will be the<br />

story of his life.

Mary Jane Ridder<br />

Compassion of<br />

The Mary Jane Ridder Luncheon was established to honor the<br />

memory of an exceptional woman who gave unstintingly of herself<br />

to advance the good work of Rosalie Hall, which was founded by the<br />

Misericordia Sisters in 1887 <strong>and</strong> continues to give mothers <strong>and</strong> mothers-to-be<br />

all of the practical assistance they need to ensure their own<br />

<strong>and</strong> their newborns’ well-being.<br />

For years, Mary Jane Ridder arranged for baby showers for<br />

women <strong>and</strong> children <strong>and</strong> she <strong>and</strong> her husb<strong>and</strong> Victor reached out to<br />

friends <strong>and</strong> colleagues to support not only these <strong>and</strong> other special<br />

events but Rosalie Hall as well. In addition, Victor organized a Scout<br />

troop for homeless boys in New York City <strong>and</strong> Mary Jane was social<br />

minister at Saints John <strong>and</strong> Paul parish in Larchmont, New York <strong>and</strong> a<br />

patient advocate at two <strong>Catholic</strong> hospitals in the Bronx.<br />

Today, the Mary Jane Ridder Luncheon is maintained in loving<br />

memory of Mary Jane <strong>and</strong> in recognition of her legacy of extraordinary<br />

personal care <strong>and</strong> giving <strong>and</strong> the personification of the mission<br />

of Rosalie Hall. Through emulation of her acts of charity, Westchester<br />

Spring Luncheon<br />

the Heart<br />

Friends of Rosalie Hall come together to raise awareness <strong>and</strong> much<br />

needed funds so that the mission of serving women facing unintended<br />

pregnancies <strong>and</strong> mothers to-be in need of vital assistance may continue.<br />

On June 7, 2012, the Mary Jane Ridder Spring Luncheon <strong>and</strong> Boutique<br />

was held at The Larchmont Yacht Club <strong>and</strong> honored Sister Monique<br />

Lallier, Superior General, <strong>and</strong> the Misericordia Sisters of Montreal.<br />

Because of their particular ministry, the Misericordia Sisters are involved<br />

in a society where, to this day, female heads of single parent<br />

families are often disadvantaged. All too frequently, they live isolated from<br />

supports that are needed <strong>and</strong> struggle to meet their needs <strong>and</strong> those of<br />

their child. On this difficult path, support services are made available to<br />

help them recover their autonomy, rediscover their strengths <strong>and</strong> regain<br />

their self-confidence <strong>and</strong> confidence in others.<br />

CGSHB is honored to be a part of the legacy of Mary Jane Ridder<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Misericordia Sisters in this tradition of securing vital assistance<br />

to pregnant <strong>and</strong> parenting women <strong>and</strong> their children.<br />

Clockwise:1. Luncheon supporters. 2. Misericordia Sisters: Sister Monique Lallier, Sister Huguette<br />

27th <strong>Annual</strong> Child<br />

On October 4th, CGSHB hosted the 27th <strong>Annual</strong> Child of Peace Award<br />

Dinner to benefit Rosalie Hall Maternity Services. The evening was the most<br />

successful in our history, drawing more than 325 attendees <strong>and</strong> raising over<br />

$400,000 to support the agency’s work on behalf of mothers <strong>and</strong> newborns.<br />

“Many things have changed since we began our work, but poor <strong>and</strong> lowincome<br />

mothers still need crucial help with unintended pregnancies,” CGSHB<br />

Board Chairman Rory Kelleher told the audience. “What remains at the core of<br />

our mission is our readiness to respond to the needs of mothers <strong>and</strong> their newborns<br />

with such practical concrete resources as counseling in parenting options,<br />

parenting classes, access to pre- <strong>and</strong> post-natal care, help with immigration<br />

issues, mentoring, peer-to-peer counseling, aftercare services, safe new cribs,<br />

emergency assistance for food <strong>and</strong> rent, baby formula, baby clothes <strong>and</strong> related<br />

maternity items. This is compassion of the heart in action <strong>and</strong> we have been<br />

sharing it with mothers <strong>and</strong> children in need for over one hundred years.”<br />

Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, offered the<br />

invocation.<br />

The Dinner honored four outst<strong>and</strong>ing New Yorkers for their support of the<br />

Rosalie Hall Maternity Services mission.<br />

• Louis J. Cappelli, Chairman <strong>and</strong> CEO of Sterling Bancorp/Sterling National<br />

Bank, received the Child of Peace Award.<br />

• Frances Florentino Imperial <strong>and</strong> Roger A. Imperial, II received the Humanitarian<br />

Award.<br />

• The Reverend Robert Michael Dunn, Chaplain of the Jeanne Jugan Center<br />

in the Bronx received the Rosalie Cadron-Jetté Award for Courage <strong>and</strong><br />

Compassion.<br />

of Peace Award Dinner<br />

Louis J. Cappelli is a respected leader of the banking community <strong>and</strong> an active supporter of charitable<br />

organizations. He began working at Sterling while still in college <strong>and</strong> has spent his entire professional career<br />

at the Company, pursuing a path that led from the mailroom to Chairman <strong>and</strong> CEO, while guiding Sterling’s<br />

profitable growth to $2.5 billion in assets. Just a few examples of Mr. Cappelli’s extensive involvement in civic,<br />

charitable <strong>and</strong> ecumenical organizations include: AmeriCares humanitarian mission to Kosovo; American Association<br />

of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta; Board of Directors, <strong>Catholic</strong> Youth Organization; <strong>and</strong> the<br />

humanitarian mission to Honduras with the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of<br />

Rhodes <strong>and</strong> of Malta. Mr. Cappelli recently was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree of Humane Letters<br />

from his alma mater, Baruch College.<br />

Roger Imperial is presently a Senior Consultant with Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc.<br />

He previously served as Vice Chairman of Acordia, Inc. <strong>and</strong> Senior Vice President of Wells Fargo Insurance Services of New York, Inc. He<br />

also held executive positions with the major brokerage firms of Marsh & McLennan, Willis, <strong>and</strong> AON.<br />

Frances Florentino Imperial worked as a counselor for developmentally disabled youths early in her career for an 8 year period<br />

<strong>and</strong> later became a Vice President at Wells Fargo Insurance Brokerage Services, Inc. Frances <strong>and</strong> Roger Imperial give selflessly of<br />

their time <strong>and</strong> efforts to look after those who are disadvantaged.<br />

Father Robert Michael Dunn entered the St. John Neumann Residence <strong>and</strong> graduated from Fordham University in 1988. He was<br />

ordained by Cardinal O’Connor <strong>and</strong> received his MA from St. Joseph’s Seminary, Dunwoodie in 1992. In July 2007, Father Dunn began<br />

his present assignment at the Jeanne Jugan Residence—a “place of grace,” as he calls it--where the Little Sisters of the Poor live out the<br />

Christian vocation to holiness to which God has called them. Father Dunn embodies the courage <strong>and</strong> compassion that Rosalie Cadron-<br />

Jetté brought to her ministry.
