SPRING 2018
of the Palm Beaches, Inc. HOPE BEGINS WITH A HOME
The highly-coordinated system of services between the family’s case manager, Project Grow, and Highland Elementary will reduce school absences while increasing promotion rates, test scores, and future high school graduation rates. The program will carefully monitor the children’s educational outcomes as well as the parents’ progress toward self-sufficiency.
WE’RE ALREADY HALFWAY THERE!
Our Hope Begins with a Home Capital Campaign will raise $3,600,000 to complete construction of the fourteen apartments and the community space to develop the new Third Avenue Homes neighborhood. We will raise an additional $3,000,000 to sustain, over 12 years, all the supportive services and educational enrichments that will characterize the program. Thanks to the support of our donors, we are off to a great start and have reached over 50% of our goal. We anticipate breaking ground in the fall!

OUR EDUCATION-CENTRIC PLAN
At the core of our Third Avenue Homes community is a unique and powerful partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County’s Highland Elementary School located just three blocks from Adopt-A-Family. We know from experience that students
blossom in the classroom once they are in a stable home.
SETBACK LINE
Adopt-A-Family is thrilled to announce our plan to expand the agency’s inventory of affordable housing units for families on the verge of homelessness. “Third Avenue Homes” in Lake Worth will provide housing and hope for fourteen families and approximately 30 children. Our two- and threebedroom apartments, on recently acquired property adjacent to Adopt-A-Family’s Family Resource Center, will offer convenient access to our social services programs and Project Grow afterschool program. A two-story community center will serve as the hub for support services, tutoring, therapy, and adult education.
