WE HAVE GOOD NEWS TO SHARE!
October 2010

• After 4 years of homelessness, Stan has his own apartment!

• A client who was very dissatisfied with services provided by another agency came to SPC for help and was able to get 80% of his needs met!

• A Homeless Employment Program (HEP) client had a series of jobs due to layoffs, but kept moving toward a stable position with better pay. It finally happened! Then St. Patrick Center assisted her with move-in costs so she could move from a shelter to her own apartment.

• Matt is now working full time!

• Congrats to our ACT psychiatrist, Dr. Baber, who officially became a U.S. citizen this summer!

• Cate received a job offer within weeks of being released from prison. She competed with 200+ applicants!

• Senior employment specialist Jess Cox reports that 5 of her clients were working very hard on their job searches and trying to stay positive despite not finding jobs. In the space of a month, all of them were hired and thrilled about it!

• A former Shamrock client is now volunteering 3 days a week for SPC!

• Bobby was faced with a decision: get his GED or join the SPC BEST program. He thought it through and made the best choice for his future – he started taking GED classes!

• 4 Shamrock clients have been approved for Shelter Plus Care housing!
