	Independent Living Skills/ABE & GED/Fast Track GED 520 participants and 200 graduates learned parenting and living skills that support their move to permanent housing and self-sufficiency. We taught reading, writing and math skills in Adult Basic Education (ABE) and General Education Development (GED). In addition, 22 clients have received their GED in a Fast Track program that began in 2009.

	Neighborhood Support Agency wide, 714 poverty-level individuals (484 families) in existing housing were assessed for and/or received utility or rent payment assistance to overcome housing crises.

	Project Protect This regional partnership provided family stability, substance abuse, financial stability and housing services for 200 families with 343 children affected by parental substance abuse.

	Rosati Apartments & Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) We provided case management services and housing for a year or more to 18 chronically homeless men and women in our permanent, supportive housing complex. In addition, 3 residents graduated into independent apartments in the community and 2 were moved to more supervised setting to meet their treatment needs. We also provided permanent housing, mental health and substance abuse counseling, and employment and financial guidance services to 19 Rosati Apartment ACT residents and up to 32 chronically homeless individuals living at other sites in the community.


	Rosati Group Home We provided counseling, daily living skills instruction and 24-hour protective oversight to 32 clients who are mentally ill. Of the 18 who were discharged, 11 moved into more independent living quarters after acquiring daily living skills and stability.

	Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) In the summer of 2011, St. Patrick Center was awarded this grant from the Department of Veteran Affairs. The SSVF program works to assist families transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing and prevent at-risk families from becoming homeless.
