executive<br />

message<br />

In 2010, Brooklyn struggled mightily with the effects of the<br />

Great Recession. The borough was particularly hard hit by<br />

the twin crises of unemployment and foreclosure. Brooklyn<br />

began the year with an unemployment rate of 11.0% and it has remained<br />

stubbornly high ever since. Regarding foreclosure, Brooklyn<br />

had the fourth highest number of foreclosure filings of any<br />

county in New York State. Neighborhoods where CAMBA has<br />

a strong presence, including Bedford-Stuyvesant, Canarsie, and<br />

East Flatbush were among those hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis.<br />

Faced with this environment of economic peril, CAMBA has<br />

stood steadfast with the community, protecting local residents<br />

and creating opportunities for security and self-sufficiency.<br />

CAMBA has been providing foreclosure prevention services<br />

since 2008. In that time, we have helped nearly 100 at-risk households<br />

avoid foreclosure and remain in their homes. Since 2009,<br />

CAMBA Legal Services has offered legal representation to families<br />

facing foreclosure and we continue to provide zealous advocacy<br />

for our clients.<br />

To help address the local employment picture, CAMBA used<br />

funds from the federal Stimulus Act to operate a Dislocated Workers<br />

program. Through this effort, we helped 200 local residents<br />

to find gainful employment at competitive wages. Also this year,<br />

CAMBA’s Workforce Development and Adult Learning programs<br />

successfully partnered with one another to assist job seekers in<br />

need of English as a Second Language training and GED preparation<br />

courses find employment as part of the Stimulus Act. Members<br />

of the community with limited English or no high school diploma<br />

were hit particularly hard by the recession. CAMBA moved<br />

decisively to support these struggling job seekers.<br />

Through CAMBA Housing Ventures, we have continued in<br />

our efforts to provide the community with supportive and affordable<br />

housing. At 97 Crooke Avenue, we began construction<br />

Joanne M. Oplustil<br />

Executive Director<br />

of the Reverend Daniel Ramm Residence, a 53-unit facility that reached 31% on-time construction.<br />

At the campus of the Kings County Hospital Center, CAMBA Housing Ventures continued predevelopment<br />

activities on CAMBA Gardens. This project – which will provide 209 units of LEED<br />

Silver-rated affordable and supportive housing – has already been recognized as a national model<br />

of collaboration between local government and the non-profit sector.<br />

For families with school-aged children, CAMBA provides the resources that parents need so that<br />

they can remain employed while knowing that their children are secure. This past year, CAMBA’s<br />

afterschool programs kept over 2,100 children safe and engaged in creative learning activities while<br />

their parents worked. These and other programs are vital supports for middle and working class<br />

families who otherwise could not ensure that their children would be involved in positive opportunities<br />

in the after-school hours.<br />

The recession has also battered those who rent their housing and CAMBA has been there to<br />

help. This past year, through our efforts, over 2,000 families avoided eviction and remained stably<br />

housed. At CAMBA Legal Services alone, we prevented 295 evictions.<br />

The pages that follow highlight the experiences of CAMBA clients who have turned to the agency<br />

for support in troubled times. We hope you will find them as moving as we do.<br />

economic<br />

development<br />

Michelle O’Hara Chase<br />

I used to work for a temp company, but it was inconsistent. My caseworker encouraged<br />

me and after I went for the interview I got hired for part time. n Every<br />

time I need my caseworker, she’s there. n CAMBA gave us a whole booklet before<br />

the interview so we didn’t go in blind and we knew what Whole Foods was<br />

looking for. That is what helped me to really get into the company and absorb as<br />

much as I could. CAMBA dealt with Whole Foods before so my caseworker knew<br />

exactly what they were looking for in a candidate. So that really really helped<br />

me. n You have to put your best foot forward and you never know what’s going<br />

to happen. n I’ve been working 40 hours a week since I started, and that’s been<br />

really awesome for me. n CAMBA’s a helping ground. I think it’s a good network<br />

for you to build with other people as well so you can network and build yourself<br />

as a person and it’s just an all around great aid for a person who is really trying to<br />

develop himself in this country. n This is a great opportunity for me to let people<br />

know that there is hope for you if you now come here and you want to get a job.<br />

There is an avenue to go to for guidance. n I’m very positive about the future.<br />

Having this opportunity happen for me, it means that anything can happen.<br />

‘‘<br />

Every time I need my<br />

caseworker, she’s there.<br />

2010 Outcomes<br />

n 712 low-income adults were<br />

directly placed in unsubsidized<br />

employment at an average<br />

wage of over $10.00 per hour<br />

for an average of 35 hours per<br />

week.<br />

n 350 Central Brooklyn residents<br />

were trained and certified<br />

as Security Officers in 2010,<br />

and 260 local residents were<br />

placed in jobs in the security<br />

sector.<br />

Salih Buzhala<br />

I left Kosovo like too many people. It was a war, so I came<br />

to America. I had a part time job in a restaurant but it didn’t<br />

cover my bills because with a part time job you can’t afford<br />

even rent, forget about clothes. CAMBA found a job for me<br />

in a hotel in downtown Manhattan. I just received an award<br />

from the company. n I’m happy because now I can pay my<br />

bills plus I have money for clothes and to send to my wife,<br />

she is still in Kosovo. CAMBA is helping me to fill out the<br />

application and the papers to bring her here. If you need<br />

help if you don’t speak English, don’t worry there’s a place,<br />

this place here, they take care of you.<br />

n 100 immigrant professionals<br />

from 35 countries were trained<br />

to transfer their foreign skill<br />

sets and credentials to higher<br />

earning jobs in Brooklyn.<br />

n 7 businesses were assisted in<br />

creating 15 new jobs.<br />

n 12 existing and start-up<br />

businesses had increased sales<br />

for combined new revenues of<br />

over $1.1 million.<br />

education and<br />

youth development<br />

Dyami Nicholson<br />

I wasn’t self-sufficient with the economy being the way it is. I felt empty. That’s when I realized I<br />

needed my GED. When I came to the REACH GED program -it grew from there and Workforce<br />

Development put me in a great company, Whole Foods. n CAMBA never gave up on me, they<br />

became the family that I always wanted. Change begins with you. I want to give back to the community<br />

and get people involved in this program because - CAMBA is Brooklyn and Brooklyn is<br />

me- all three worlds together - it can be better- because we’re Brooklyn together.<br />

Annette Alvarado<br />

CAMBA helps the community by keeping the children occupied in something positive. If the children<br />

didn’t have anywhere to go – they would be in the park getting into trouble. I know I can count<br />

on this program even when there’s no school and I have to work, because it’s open. The leaders look<br />

out for the welfare of the children. n One day the supervisor noticed I was worried. The economy<br />

really affected us, my husband didn’t work for 7 months. She directed us to CAMBA’s legal services.<br />

Now it seems like everything is falling back into place and looks positive.<br />

Alexis Alvarado<br />

CAMBA helps us with our homework but it’s<br />

not just doing work. We have Global Partners<br />

Jr. where we go to computer class and talk to<br />

people around the world. There’s also dance,<br />

stepping, cooking, jump rope, double-dutch,<br />

basketball and science. n I’m becoming a<br />

whiz at math. The future is going to be good.<br />

If the afterschool program wasn’t here, I would<br />

miss my teacher because she’s very involved.<br />

You could have the prettiest apple on the tree<br />

but it could have worms inside of it and the ugliest<br />

apple could be the best one- you always<br />

have to give people a chance.<br />

2010 Outcomes<br />

n At the School for Democracy and<br />

Leadership, a small school where CAMBA<br />

is active in school leadership, 82.5% of<br />

seniors in the Class of 2010 graduated.<br />

n CAMBA’s afterschool programs kept<br />

over 2,100 children safe and engaged<br />

in creative learning activities while their<br />

parents worked.<br />

n 417 high school students gained handson<br />

work experience through subsidized<br />

internships.<br />

n Out of 1,643 adult literacy students<br />

served, 780 adult learners – or 47.5% -<br />

were promoted at least one educational<br />

level.<br />

n 98% of the school-age children in the<br />

Even Start Family Literacy Program were<br />

promoted to the next level.<br />

CAMBA never gave<br />

up on me – they became<br />

the family that I always<br />

wanted.<br />

family<br />

services<br />

Valeria and Yoko Munoz<br />

The baby had leukemia and we had no money to go back and forth<br />

to the hospital and my husband lost his job. The program I came<br />

to at CAMBA was Healthy Families. They told me what I had to do<br />

to apply for SSI and helped me through the Food Stamp process.<br />

They brought me support. The peer support groups helped me to<br />

learn a lot. n My caseworker listens to me and lets me express<br />

myself in any way I want. That’s special because I don’t have any<br />

family here and someone is listening to me. She communicates<br />

with me and supports me and understands me. n It was a hard<br />

time but now it’s passed. I feel better because I hope the cancer<br />

doesn’t come back again. CAMBA has a lot of opportunities and<br />

people should give it a try because it offers great support to women<br />

and families. CAMBA has helped me emotionally.<br />

HIV/AIDS<br />

services<br />

Diane Curtis<br />

I heard about CAMBA right after I was diagnosed. If you need help with housing,<br />

immigration, education, this is a great place to go. I was trying to find a<br />

place to go where I could relate to people with the same problems that I have.<br />

Being newly diagnosed it was scary. I built a rapport with a lot of the case managers<br />

here. They are like friends besides being people that helped you. n This<br />

is my purpose to get that message out there and let people know that there’s<br />

help out there and we need to stop the spread of the virus. I get satisfaction out<br />

of just reaching just one person. Even though I’m HIV-positive I’m at the apex of<br />

my life, that’s how I see it... I feel really good about my future right now.<br />

James Harris<br />

CAMBA saved my life and I was very grateful for<br />

it. n CAMBA helped me get my benefits. n I was<br />

homeless for five years and have a drug history of<br />

39 years. n I’m here because the new people who<br />

are coming in need somebody here that’s been<br />

here for a while to guide them through the ropes.<br />

n Right now, I’m a Peer Educator with CAMBA’s<br />

Case Management and Supportive Services Program.<br />

n This is the best I have ever felt in my<br />

whole life. I always tell everyone - “Can A Man<br />

Become Appreciative? Yes I am”.<br />

2010 Outcomes<br />

n CAMBA provided 315 units of<br />

permanent housing and 50 units<br />

of transitional housing for people<br />

living with HIV/AIDS and their<br />

family members.<br />

n Our HIV Anti-Stigma Theater<br />

Troupe delivered its message to<br />

approximately 2,000 Brooklyn<br />

residents.<br />

n Approximately 90% of our HIV<br />

positive clients continue to be<br />

connected to primary medical care.<br />

n 17 Peer Educators who receive<br />

stipends provided services to<br />

approximately 1,000 clients and<br />

their collaterals.<br />

I grew up with a lot of advantages. I went to college; I had a lot of good<br />

jobs. Substance abuse just destroyed so many parts of my life. Morris<br />

Manor is a great place to live. I came from a very rough situation and they<br />

took a risk on me. n They knew the problem areas in my life. They’ve<br />

helped me as far as getting a job. They have helped me finding doctors.<br />

They let me run a movie night here. I look at the staff as sort of the hub on<br />

a wheel. Things that they are not able to do themselves they’ll direct me<br />

towards those resources. Living at Morris Manor it’s a very safe environment.<br />

It’s just a good feeling after I’ve literally lived on Park Avenue and<br />

on a park bench. It’s a great starting point for me again. n CAMBA has<br />

simplified my life. I get support in every area: financially, spiritually, emotionally,<br />

educationally. That relieves me of a lot of worries... so I’m very<br />

hopeful about my future. Right here I have everything that I need.<br />

legal services<br />

Jahira Forbes<br />

I lost my job because they were laying people off and they blamed it on the economy.<br />

I went a whole year without a job, owed my landlord over $8,000 and was on the verge<br />

of being evicted. Other than some help from my grandmother, I had to fend for myself.<br />

I was referred to come to CAMBA from Public Assistance. n My attorney has been<br />

great. There were days when I couldn’t go to court because I was still looking for a job.<br />

I had job interviews and she went to court and represented me and kept me updated.<br />

And then I ended up getting a job and I have been working for a year. She got down to<br />

the bottom of everything. Now, my name is going to be on the lease and my rent balance<br />

is zero. She still calls to check up on me, she referred me to a free CAMBA summer<br />

camp for my daughter. That shows that she cares. n CAMBA wants you to work, they<br />

don’t want you to be dependent. CAMBA directed me to places to look for jobs and<br />

they helped me with my resume. n I feel optimistic. I’m very happy that I was able<br />

to enroll in school and get a job. I’m able to maintain my bills now and I’m not facing<br />

eviction. I don’t think I would have gotten to this point if it weren’t for CAMBA so I’m<br />

very grateful. Things are better now a year later. I’m really happy about that. At the end<br />

of the rainbow there’s the pot of gold. There’s always hope.<br />

Parasram Kissoon<br />

I was in a truck accident. I didn’t have work and I was on disability,<br />

whatever I received was just enough to pay debts. I went<br />

to a company that advertised loan modification and I got ripped<br />

off $4,000! That’s life, it’s a learning process. I still get up and I<br />

have my self even though I’m hurt. I do things to get my house<br />

back together with my lawyer at CAMBA, I’m going to stick with<br />

it and if I have a problem I always pick up my phone and I always<br />

call my lawyer. n Things are too hard right now. People<br />

are struggling out there. But I feel very strong about my future,<br />

because I got my house back - which is one of the most important<br />

things. I feel my future is going to be very strong. I am very<br />

grateful to CAMBA for the wonderful service that they are doing<br />

for the poor people in the community that really need their help.<br />

2010 Outcomes<br />

n CAMBA Legal Services prevented 295<br />

evictions.<br />

n 243 citizenship applications were<br />

prepared.<br />

n Legal representation of clients in<br />

consumer-debt matters resulted in<br />

more than $300,000 of consumer debt<br />

being expunged.<br />

n More than 1,000 clients were assisted<br />

in immigration matters.<br />

n 96 clients received legal representation<br />

in consumer-debt matters and none<br />

of them received judgments against<br />

shona stone<br />

sculpture<br />

CAMBA is proud to be one of the nation’s premiere purveyors<br />

of Shona sculptures. Proceeds from our Annual Sale and Exhibition<br />

of Stone Sculpture from Zimbabwe support our programs<br />

and services. Zimbabwe, a southern African country whose name<br />

literally means “the house of stone”, is known for its remarkable<br />

stone sculptors. Semi-abstract works created by artists of the country’s<br />

largest ethnic group can be found in the collections of many of<br />

the world’s most discerning art collectors, including the Museum of<br />

Modern Art in New York City, the Musée Rodin in Paris, the Rockefellers,<br />

and Queen Elizabeth II of England. CAMBA’s Annual Sale and Exhibition<br />

of Stone Sculpture from Zimbabwe features works by many noted<br />

and established sculptors, as well as the offerings of emerging artists.<br />

Our 1,500 square-foot gallery at 19 Winthrop<br />

Street provides exhibition space<br />

for many Shona sculptures at one time,<br />

making it one of the most impressive<br />

collections in the United States.<br />

Because of the deteriorating<br />

political climate in Zimbabwe<br />

and the resultant downturn<br />

in foreign tourism, there are<br />

few other venues for these<br />

artists to find a market for<br />

their work. CAMBA’s commitment<br />

to retaining a Shona gallery<br />

allows us both to offer these works<br />

at reasonable prices and to enable<br />

the sculptors to continue their artistic<br />

endeavors. These stone sculptures<br />

can be viewed and purchased by appointment,<br />

online and during our annual fall sale and<br />

exhibition. Forty percent of the purchase price of<br />

each sculpture is tax deductible. Proceeds from<br />

the sales benefit CAMBA and its programs.<br />

To learn more about CAMBA’s Shona sculpture<br />

and view items available for purchase,<br />

please go online to: www.shonasculptures.com.<br />

how you<br />

can help<br />

For 30 years, your generous support has enabled CAMBA to remain flexible in<br />

response to community needs and to respond immediately to families and individuals<br />

in crisis.<br />

Types of Gifts<br />

n Cash - This is the simplest and most immediate way for you to support<br />

CAMBA. Gifts may be made by check or online at www.camba.org. You can<br />

make a greater impact than you think - and it couldn’t be easier. Become a<br />

CAMBA Sustainer by allocating an automatic withdrawal from your checking<br />

account/credit card of at least $10.00 per month. You will be recognized<br />

as a Sustainer in CAMBA publications and on the CAMBA website. You can<br />

also mail a check, payable to CAMBA, Inc., to the attention of the Development<br />

Office at CAMBA, 1720 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226.<br />

n Corporate Matching Gifts – You can increase the value of your gift -often up to<br />

100 % - if you or your spouse works for a company with a matching gift program.<br />

Please check with your human resources department for more information.<br />

n Bequests – If you don’t have a will, you are leaving it up to the courts to decide<br />

what happens to your assets. After first providing for your loved ones, you<br />

can help to assure that CAMBA will be there for those who are facing poverty,<br />

homelessness and other barriers to self sufficiency, for many years to come.<br />

n IRA Transfers – If you own a traditional or a Roth IRA, and are age 70 ½ or<br />

older, you can directly transfer up to $100,000 a year to CAMBA, without<br />

having to pay taxes on the withdrawal. NOTE: This rule does not apply to<br />

employer sponsored retirement plans.<br />

n Memorial/Honorary Gifts – Remember or honor a friend or family member<br />

by means of a gift to CAMBA. We will promptly notify the designated recipient<br />

of the gift.<br />

n Gifts of Appreciated Stock – If you own low-yielding stocks, mutual funds or<br />

other securities that are worth more than you paid for them, you can contribute<br />

them to CAMBA, get a tax deduction for the full current value, and avoid<br />

the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the assets outright.<br />

In effect, you are allowed to use the “paper profits” in the investment to<br />

make a larger gift to CAMBA than you can make from current income. If you<br />

wish to contribute securities that are worth less that your original purchase<br />

price, it is best to sell them, take the loss, and then get a tax deduction for<br />

contributing the cash proceeds to CAMBA.<br />

n Other Planned Gifts – You can also donate various trusts, annuities and gifts<br />

of significant non-cash assets, such as real estate to CAMBA.<br />

n In-kind Contributions – CAMBA’s programs have continuing needs for gifts<br />

of clothing in good condition, toys, books, furniture, and food to stock the<br />

food pantry.<br />

Please call CAMBA’s Development Director at 718-287-2600 ext.20265 to discuss<br />

how you can make a contribution that is compatible with your current resources<br />

and philanthropic objectives.<br />
