“Our love is not to be just words or mere talk
but something real and active.”
Jerusalem Bible, 1 John 3:18
Ann R. Alvarez
President & CEO
Reverend Daniel Alvarez, Sr.
President Emeritus
The economic crisis has had a dramatic impact on the communities Casa Central serves. Unemployment and
foreclosure rates, higher than citywide averages, are impacting families struggling to survive. The emerging needs
of families during these difficult times challenge us to respond creatively to those who may have never sought
out our services in the past.
We have been careful during this crisis to be good stewards of our resources by making adjustments in staffing
and in spending in order to ensure the financial strength of the organization. We are grateful for the continued
support of our many long-term corporate and foundation partners, and for promising relationships with new
funders. Our committed workforce has demonstrated great resilience, allowing us to keep our commitments to
the families we serve. Our partnerships with private and public entities, individuals and congregations, continue to propel and advance our
mission. In addition, we have benefited from an increased number of volunteers, especially those working to foster lifelong learning among
our children and youth.
Casa Central remains confident about our continued ability to serve individuals and families in need. With that in mind, Casa Central
completed a strategic planning process in 2009 that brought together agency leadership, staff, and the Board of Directors, and identified
three priorities for the agency which will help us move forward with purpose as economic recovery begins. We are committed to remaining
strong as we adapt to ongoing limitations brought about by the crisis, and to maintaining the high quality services we provide to families
who need our help. To that end, we will proactively position Casa Central to secure resources to support long term needs, expand services
to other Hispanic communities, and remain the employer of choice in the bilingual community.
I invite you to further engage with us at Casa Central. Together, we can continue the positive impact we have on the lives of the families we
serve.
Very truly yours,
Ann R. Alvarez
President & CEO
Inspiring lifelong learning...
According to the 2008 Illinois School Report Card,
less than 55% of Hispanic students graduate from
Casa Central’s local high schools.
Casa Central’s early childhood, out-of-school time and
summer programs, which serve approximately 1,000
participants every year, have been designed to provide
at-risk children and youth with the opportunities necessary
to beat the odds, and become lifelong learners.
Casa Central’s Head Start programs are designed to help
Hispanic families overcome language and cultural barriers
and prepare their children to enter kindergarten. Child
Development Centers served 348 children in FY08
and 301 in FY09. ABC Home-based Head Start
served 161 children in FY08 and 144 in FY09.
The School Age Program encourages parental involvement
and provides at-risk children ages 5-12 with tutoring and
homework help, and a safe place to play, learn, and grow.
The program reached 310 children in FY08, and 134
in FY09.
In FY09, Casa Central partnered with Von Humboldt
Elementary School to create a new Community Schools
Initiative, providing educational enrichment activities
for children, and lifelong learning opportunities for their
parents. The program served 196 children in FY09.
Youth Options Unlimited provides teens with skills and
opportunities to make positive life choices, working with
81 teens in FY08 and 116 in FY09.
The Adolescent Parenting Program works with both the
teens and their children, enhancing the child’s early learning
capabilities, and helping teen parents find appropriate peer
support. The program served 77 children in FY08, and
110 in FY09.
One child at at time...
Stefany arrived in Chicago speaking no
English. Her family had left Puerto Rico
hoping to find better opportunities.
Although she had always been a
good student, her first report card
in her new high school reflected the
difficulties that her limited language
skills were causing. Recognizing that
she needed additional assistance
outside of school, she came to the
Youth Options Unlimited program
requesting tutoring and homework
assistance. Stefany adjusted quickly,
participating in Peer Education, helping
create the program newsletter, and
working with YOU during the summer
as an After School Matters intern in
the Head Start program. Stefany’s
grades and English language skills have
improved dramatically, and she has
even been nominated to the National
Honor Society. Throughout her time at
YOU, she has become a role model for
other teens in the program, as well as
her two younger siblings.
Stefany has been admitted to
Northeastern Illinois University where
she plans to major in Education. Stefany
believes that she will be an excellent
teacher and will inspire lifelong learning
in her own students.
Serving 1,000 children and youth annually
Providing safety and fostering self-reliance...
Residents of Casa Central’s community struggle to overcome a
number of obstacles that include poverty, inadequate education,
unemployment, substance abuse, gang violence, and domestic
violence.
Casa Central’s programs build an important bridge that helps
Hispanic families overcome barriers and allow them the
opportunity to make further positive contributions to their families
and communities.
The Community Technology Center offers computer classes, help
with resume writing, and open computer access to children and
adults from Casa Central’s other programs and throughout the
community. The Center served 538 individuals in FY08,
and 861in FY09.
The Early Intervention program provides tuition-free Certified
Nursing Assistant training designed to increase the number of
bilingual health care professionals working in our communities.
The program graduated 37participants in FY08, and 37
in FY09.
La Posada, Casa Central’s interim housing program, offers
vocational and computer training, counseling, transportation, and
a food pantry, as well as supportive services, as part of its holistic
approach to helping homeless families to become permanently
self-sufficient. The program served 80 families in FY08
and 83 in FY09.
Casa Central’s Foster Care and Adoption program worked to
address the shortage of homes than can accommodate the special
needs of Hispanic children and youth who have been removed
from abusive and neglectful homes. The program served 89 youth
in FY08 and 83 in FY09.
Intact Family Services is a home-based, family centered program
that allows children to remain safely at home, rather than be placed
in substitute care. The program served 189 children
and families in FY08 and 181in FY09.
The Domestic Violence Intervention program’s mission is to help
victims and potential victims of domestic violence break the cycle
of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse in their lives. The program
served 81 individuals in FY08 and 66 in FY09.
The Casa Central Chicago Safe Start program, launched in
FY09, is a community-based initiative whose objective is to
reduce the trauma of exposure to violence on young children.
In FY09, the program served 94 children and adults, and
provided training to 145 health care and social work
professionals.
One family at a time...
Bianca, a 47 year old single mother,
was sharing an apartment with her
boyfriend. After she lost her job, her
home life became more difficult, and
her boyfriend began abusing her, both
emotionally and physically. Bianca
fled the home with her 10 year old
daughter, and ended up at a domestic
violence shelter. From there, she was
referred to the La Posada interim
housing program. During her stay at
La Posada, Bianca participated in the
EDUCATE program, which strengthens
vocational skills, and learned the
computer skills necessary to create
a resume, and search and apply for
jobs online. The program provided
her family with groceries, bus passes,
employment referrals, and housing
assistance. Bianca also attended
classes to obtain a Security Officer
Certification, which led to a job offer.
With stable employment, Bianca was
able to obtain an apartment for her
family and begin to live independently.
Through her participation in La Posada,
Bianca gained marketable job skills and
life management tools to become more
competitive in the workplace and get
back on a path to safety and self
sufficiency.
Serving over 1,400 individuals and families annually
Promoting healthy, active lifestyles...
Hispanic seniors face a number of challenges. They may
struggle to support themselves, suffer from inactivity and
poor nutrition, and they may no longer be able to take care
of their own basic needs. In addition, language and cultural
barriers may keep them from receiving the help they need.
Casa Central’s continuum of bilingual and bicultural senior
programs has been designed to specifically address the needs
of seniors through all stages of life, helping them manage
their health, remain active within the community, and
maintain their dignity.
Through the Over 55 program, unemployed seniors
receive part-time job experience and training, with the
ultimate goal of securing long-term employment to become
or remain self-sufficient. The program served 42 seniors
in FY08 and 45 in FY09.
The Adult Wellness Center provides healthy, culturally
appropriate meals and a stimulating environment to
stabilize, maintain, and maximize the health and wellness
of Hispanic seniors, focusing on both physical and mental
health needs. The Center served 172 seniors in FY08
and 224 in FY09.
The Home Care program is designed to prevent premature
nursing home placement by helping seniors to remain
independent within their own homes and communities
through a wide variety of services designed to serve each
client’s specific needs. The program served 1,478
seniors in FY08 and 1,685 in FY09.
One senior at a time...
When she enrolled in the Adult
Wellness Center, Maria would spend
much of her time wandering the
hallway, anxious and eager to go home.
She was not interested in program
activities or being part of the group.
During 2009, the AWC enhanced its
services for seniors suffering from
dementia with the addition of the
New Horizons Room, designed to
provide customized therapeutic and
recreational activities for participants
who require a greater level of
individualized care. This additional
personalized attention has made a big
difference in Maria’s life. Her level of
active participation has increased, and
now she spends her time at the AWC
engaged in group activities, working
on puzzles, talking, reminiscing and
sharing meals with the Cooking Club,
and nurturing a doll that helps her
remember caring for her own children.
Maria still enjoys walking, but now she
walks with the Horizons Walking Club.
The Adult Wellness Center is helping
Maria stay mentally and physically
active, improving her health and quality
of life.
Serving over 1,700 seniors annually
