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 />

Children Secure in Caring Foster <strong>Home</strong>s<br />
Children Safely Reunited with Their Families
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 />

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 />

A Mother’s Love<br />
Life is filled with challenges for many young<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.
