2011 CitySquare Annual Report

As many low-income and impoverished neighbors cope with a lack of
resources every day, it is easy to lose hope that circumstances could change.
CitySquare offers multiple programs aimed at renewing hope in the lives of
our less fortunate neighbors.
Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC) – provides supportive services
including emergency housing, after-care coaching and counseling, job search
and school enrollment assistance to over 800 youth aging out of foster care
each year.
WorkPaths – trains unemployed and under-employed neighbors with the
knowledge and skills they need for living wage employment.

partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
Social Work Services – provides intensive case management to our neighbors
in various departments, including the Resource Center, Destination Home,
WorkPaths and Community Health Services.
Legal Action Works (LAW) – provides quality legal services for individuals who
could not otherwise afford to access legal representation.
AmeriCorps – a national organization funded by the Corporation for
National and Community Service that provides opportunities for Americans to
give back to their communities and country each year, providing much-needed
support to nonprofit organizations around the country. CitySquare places over
250 AmeriCorps members in nonprofits throughout the city, thanks to funding
from the OneStar Foundation in Texas.
