A MESSAGE

Dear Friends, Every day across our programs, we see examples of the resilience of the human spirit. A man in our homeless shelter refuses to give up and enrolls in a Catholic Charities job training program. A refugee child traumatized by war follows friends to the playground.

Adults with troubled childhoods learn the skills to give their own children a brighter future.

F R O M OUR EX E C U TIVE DIR ECTOR

At Catholic Charities of Onondaga County, our mission calls us to “care for those in need while promoting human development, collaboration, and the elimination of poverty and injustice.� As Executive Director, I draw strength and inspiration from the fact that so many of our supporters share our determination to help those most in need. Fighting poverty is not easy and your belief in our organization is humbling. It also motivates us to adapt to emerging needs while remaining hopeful in the face of adversity.

In 2016, several important projects were made possible by the kindness of funders.

A generous grant from the Allyn Foundation provided vital funding for our social ventures to expand job training programs for people who face barriers to employment.

With a grant from the Central New York Community Foundation, we were able to replace the roof at our Vincent House Neighborhood Center which improved conditions for the many children and youth who attend programs at the much-loved center.

A grant from the J. M. McDonald Foundation supported a new boiler system at our House of Providence headquarters. The new system improved working conditions for over a hundred employees, enabling them to better serve our clients.

It cannot be denied that Syracuse and Onondaga County face challenges. Our community continues to struggle with some of the highest rates of poverty in the country. But because of our success working with individuals living in poverty, we believe in the resilience of this community. We believe we can reach a brighter future and continue inspiring hope and transforming lives. That transformation is experienced not only by our clients, but by all of us who are committed to advancing the common good in our community.

Thank you for supporting us in these efforts. Our gratitude for your continued support is only matched by the resilience of the people we serve.

Sincerely,

Michael F. Melara Executive Director

OVERCOMING

CRISIS Volunteers dole out well wishes with heaped spoonfuls of chicken casserole. The men line up for dinner in our Men’s Shelter and offer varying thanks; some shower the volunteers with gratitude, others withdraw their plates with downturned eyes. One man asking for two plates is initially met with skepticism, but a staff member steps forward and says he’s just filling up a plate for his brother in the back of the room who has limited mobility. Another plate is immediately provided.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Our Crisis Response programs often see people at their lowest point. The programs include the Men’s Shelter, Dorothy Day House Shelter for Women with Children, food pantry, and our financial assistance programs that help those who can’t afford rent, medication, utility bills, and more. Many of the people we serve in these programs live paycheck-to-paycheck and were doing alright until something unexpected happened, such as an illness or expensive car repair. Others are dealing with longerterm struggles such as untreated mental illness. Over one-third of the people who benefit from our Crisis Response programs are children under age 18.

This work is essential to our goal to reduce poverty in Syracuse.

It’s an endemic issue in Syracuse; over 30% of the city population lives below the federal poverty line. Every day, our staff works with the realities of poverty. We work to change a person’s lowest point into a turning point. We help to stabilize housing, secure food and medication, and more. Our case workers network within our agency and with partner agencies to provide additional support such as job training and placement. We support our clients wherever they are on the road to stability, and we take pride in providing people with opportunities to become more independent.

The problems of poverty are at once evolving and perennial, and reducing poverty is a daunting task. We draw inspiration, though, from the resilience of the people we serve and the dedication of our staff and donors. Working together, we can help more people navigate the challenges of poverty. n

A New Start Marc’s youngest son, Marquel, is reluctant to believe the model car in the window isn’t a toy for him to race around the caseworker’s office with. He is barely distracted when his dad produces a little Lightening McQueen (of Pixar’s Cars fame) toy car for him to play with instead. Marquel’s older brother, Kayden, glances at him, looks away with a sigh of the long-suffering, and returns to watching the fidget spinner balanced on his thumb.

Marc seamlessly alternates his attention between his children and a discussion about his experience with Catholic Charities’ Veterans Services. Marc was in the Navy from 2007 to 2009 and Veterans Services recently helped him procure stable housing. In 2016, over 350 veterans made use of our suite of Emergency Services which includes a food pantry, shelters, financial assistance, and more.

“My caseworker’s been really great,” Marc says while Marquel side steps toward the forbidden model car again. Marc catches his son’s wandering hand and puts Lightening McQueen in his palm.

“She helped me find a place, sign a lease, even get a futon. She’s been the hand behind my new start.”

Marc is cautiously optimistic about the future.

He has a degree in criminology from Le Moyne College, past experience working as a rehab counselor, and a job now in shipping. He talks about his experience at Le Moyne with pride, saying he admires the Jesuit emphasis on critical thinking. He appreciates all of his past experiences and says he wouldn’t have his current goal of working in counseling if he hadn’t been on the receiving end of social services in the past.

“I just know what it’s like to find someone who really does want to help you get back on track,” he says. “I know I could be good at that.” n

Being of Service Janet Gleason-Rose has been a shelter worker at our Men’s Shelter for four years. She says she learns something new every day about the men or about herself.

“Sometimes it’s just something practical, you know, like one of the guys shares some little piece of car repair knowledge,” she says. “Other times it’s about how I can best handle a particular situation. It’s always something.”

The shelter has beds for over 100 residents every night.

The doors open at 5 pm and close again at 8 am, when the men head out for the day. As of spring 2017, adjustments are being made to move to 24-hour a day operation. Because of the overnight hours, shelter workers like Janet work night shifts, which Janet doesn’t seem to mind at all.

“This is the first job I’ve ever had where I’m happy to come in every single day,” she says. “It’s an honor to be

of service. It’s meaningful and important.”

Our shelter staff members, who include several case workers, work with some of the most economically disadvantaged people in the city. Many residents struggle with health concerns including mental health challenges. Our staff works with the men to try to get them the care they need and transition them to more stable housing and job training. Progress can be slow, but Janet enjoys developing working relationships with the residents.

“Sometimes it’s challenging,” Janet admits. “I remember one particular time when we had a guest who was very upset and cursed at me. Three of the other guys, though, they spoke up and told him he couldn’t speak to me like that. It was fine, we got everyone settled, but again, I learned something: They had my back because they know I have theirs. It was a good feeling.” n

GAINING

STABILITY A baby naps in a carrier at the front of the ONA (Office of New Americans) classroom at our Northside CYO Refugee Resettlement Center. His mom is attending English class with a dozen other recent refugees from around the world. The baby fidgets awake as a toddler runs by, giggling. The toddler is caught by her father and squeals indignantly as she’s made to sit on his lap. The

All of the programs in our Stability Services are busy year-round with services for people of all ages with many different needs. The programs include Supportive Housing, Health Care Management, Elderly Services, and Refugee Resettlement.

Our Stability Services are focused on helping people find stability financially and personally. Some clients in these programs are transitioning out of crisis – some were recently homeless or fleeing violence – others have recently fallen on hard times and are trying to avoid slipping further behind on their bills. Wherever they are, we work with them to improve their situation.

In 2016, these programs met the needs of thousands of people in our community. Over 1,000 local seniors received vital services. Almost 2,000 recent refugees were supported through services including English classes, job training and placement, education, orientation, citizenship classes, and more. Two hundred supportive housing units were homes for families and individuals who have struggled with homelessness; 30 of those individuals were military veterans. Over 200 people with complex medical challenges were supported through Health Home management, a program that simplifies an individual’s care by coordinating medical professionals and caseworkers.

When the basics are stabilized – housing, health care, etc. – people are better positioned to live independently and participate in their community. Like all of our programs, volunteers and donors play a special role in Stability Services. Together, we work to secure a better future for thousands of people in Central New York. n

Answering the Call Robin Hamblin is passionate about supporting refugees in Syracuse and our Refugee Resettlement Services at the CYO. “They’re our neighbors, they’re my students,” Robin says. Robin is a Vocal Music Teacher at Fowler High school (soon to be the Public Service Leadership Academy at Fowler). She and her husband, Lieutenant Jonathan Hamblin, have lived on the Northside of Syracuse since 1995. “We all help each other because we’re part of the same community.”

Robin speaks with pride when she talks about the success and determination of her students who are refugees. She says they are often at the top of their classes. She and Jon are two among the many volunteers and donors who generously donate their time and resources to support refugees. But Robin recalls, too, instances when refugee students have faced harassment. Several years ago, three of her students were harassed in Downtown Syracuse because they were wearing hijabs. Robin and fellow teachers came to school several days later wearing headscarves in a show of solidarity.

Robin has been encouraged lately by broader statements of solidarity with the refugee community, including a special inter-religious march we at Catholic Charities hosted with InterFaith Works in May 2017. The walk, called a Procession of Neighbors, visited several faith sites on the Northside of Syracuse. The purpose of the march was to show solidarity with the refugee community in Syracuse and to give people of different faiths an opportunity to interact with one another. More than 200 people attended, Robin and Jon among them.

“It takes a while to shift perceptions,” Robin says.

“It takes a community to get from point A to point B. It’s a process, but we’ll get there. Jon and I feel like supporting the Syracuse community is something we’re called to do.” n

Benefits of Community Betty Mecca nods as Eleanor Carr, Director of our Elderly Services, talks about the benefits of the programs the center offers.

“We aim to keep people connected with their community,” says Eleanor.

“It’s important to be involved,” Betty agrees.

Betty is a fixture at our Elderly Services center. She sets up the dining room for lunch and washes up afterward.

She helps the many people who come by the center and notices when something is wrong, or someone fails to show. She talks like a staff member, but she’s a client, and has been since the 1980s. Many of the elderly people she keeps an eye on are her juniors by several years.

“It’s good here,” she says of the center. “We look out for each other.”

In addition to a sense of community, clients like Betty are connected to many vital services through the center. Clients can access benefits including legal assistance, flu shots, coupons for the farmer’s market, and home repair assistance programs, such as Project Fix and Project Joseph, through which Betty’s home was improved with a back porch. The center provides a nutritious lunch every day (though Betty says there’s too much broccoli) and many social activities. Meetings are held twice a week at which staff members talk about particular programs and services that are available to seniors. The meetings also educate seniors about issues like avoiding phone and mail scams.

For Betty, the sense of community is equal in importance to the services offered. She met her second husband, Bill Mecca (since deceased), at the center.

“For me,” says Betty, “it’s a home away from home.” n

BUILDING

CAPACITY Fried shrimp po’boy, an eggplant parmesan sub, Greek pasta salad – these are a few of the options offered at the House of Providence deli on a spring afternoon. Many of our programs network with each other to provide services for clients, but the interaction at the deli is perhaps the most unique. The deli is staffed by students from our Culinary Arts for Self-Sufficiency (CASS) program which trains people to help them find employment in professional kitchens. The deli customers are our staff and guests. The deli gives the students practice and our staff and guests a chance to learn more about one of our programs, not to mention grab a great lunch.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Our Capacity Building programs emphasize providing people with the opportunity to develop skills that will help them find success in many aspects of life. Our Parenting and Early Education Programs support families and the social and academic success of young children. Youth programs and neighborhood centers provide children with constructive after-school and summer programs.

Counseling programs for all ages help those dealing with addiction, mental health issues, and more.

All of our Capacity Building programs help set people up for independence. Our social ventures, Project Joseph and CASS, are particularly clear illustrations of this. In these programs, people who face significant barriers to employment receive training that helps them find and maintain employment. CASS trains people for jobs in food service while Project Joseph offers training in property maintenance. The students are usually recent refugees, people who have struggled with homelessness, or people born into generational poverty in Syracuse. CASS has a post-graduation job placement rate over 80%.

Like all of our programs, these services are consistent in their goal while being flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of the people we work with. When it became clear to CASS instructors that students with good kitchen skills still lacked good job interviewing skills, they increased the emphasis on soft skills training. When we saw geographic shifts in the need for Pre-K classes, we expanded our offerings into new neighborhoods.

These programs rely on dedicated staff, passionate supporters, a network of peer organizations, and determined participants to succeed in the goal of helping people leverage themselves and their families out of poverty. Together, we believe we can build a brighter future for our community. n

Developing Connections Our Lullaby League program offers classes to expectant women and their partners. The course is four weeks long, covers many parenting topics, and every participant is given a full layette at the end. (Most of the goods for the layettes are provided by parishes, schools, and individual donors.) The program reaches over 100 women each year.

Ondalee Kelley, who’s been an employee of Catholic Charities since 2011, has been the Lullaby League Case Manager for three years. She loves the work. “I’m a mother myself,” she says. “This job allows me to be who I am naturally.”

Lullaby League is intended not only to help parents prepare for new babies, but also to connect them and their children with any other programs they need. After the four weeks of Lullaby League are over, caseworkers make home visits to ensure everything is set for the baby’s arrival, and after the baby is born, mother and baby are invited to join our Precious Moments support group for continued education. Through these programs, clients can be connected with other services they might need, such as housing support, health care management, and more.

Lullaby League has been a mainstay of our parenting programs for years, but it’s a nimble one, too, adapting

to the needs of the community. In 2016, Lullaby League partnered with Crouse Hospital to bring the course to parents in rehabilitation programs.

“Our model supports continued care,” says Ondalee.

“Between our own programs and our partners’ programs, there’s a lot to choose from.” n

A Valued Education Brianne Elias, a teacher in our Pre-K program, says she shared her students’ excitement when they went to visit Franklin Elementary at the end of the school year.

“My class this year was full of great kids and they’re really excited about starting kindergarten,” Brianne says. “I’ve really enjoyed teaching them.”

For the 2016-2017 school year, we expanded the capacity of our Pre-K programs by 20% to help meet the need for early education in underserved neighborhoods. We now offer six Pre-K programs in the city of Syracuse. Three are half-day and three are full-day. Our Pre-K students are very diverse; the 300 students come from 20 different countries and speak 25 different languages. Many of these kids arrived in the United States as refugees. Brianne’s class is no exception.

“I had one girl this year who didn’t speak English at the start, but she spoke three other languages!” she says, laughing. “She was a quick learner. A lot of the kids have families who have been through so much. They really value education and want their kids to do well. One boy actually asked me

for homework one day when I didn’t give them anything to take home.”

Brianne has enjoyed getting to know families in the refugee community through her class. “So many of the families are so grateful for the opportunities they have now. They show me their babies when they pick up their kids; they tell me about their lives. It really makes me feel good about what I’m doing.” n
