Words from our President Kathy Ellingson Board President Greetings! Well, another year is gone and we will be entering 2017 very quickly! I swear everyone has told me that as we get older things slow down but that sure isn’t the case for me. Life is going on lickity split whether I like it or not and there is no slowing it down!! As many of you know we currently have a program called Independent Living Services (ILS). This is a program we operate for any youth aging out of foster care in the state of North Dakota without a permanency plan. We manage this contract for the state, serving 491 young adults in FY 2016. Although a very important service for these youth, PATH takes a loss on the contract every year. As a board, we have looked long and hard at whether we should continue this program. After much discussion we have chosen to continue into 2017. Since that decision was made, I am so happy to report that we are going to receive $211,600 this year to help cover some of the costs! We will also receive $235,400 in the next biennium. While this doesn’t cover all the cost we are SO VERY thankful for the added funding and a big thanks goes to our ND executive director, Nancy McKenzie for all the hard work you do at the legislative sessions to help them understand PATH and what we do!! We have had a pretty mild fall and now that Old Man Winter has awoken, he is hitting with a vengeance, so stay warm and safe…and a very merry Christmas to one and all!! Friends in PATH, Kathy Families Making the Difference
