2 COMMUNITY FAMILY LIFE SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT 2009 WWW.CFLSDC.ORG

As we think about our 2009 message to you our loyal donors and volunteers, the first thing that

comes to mind is how proud and honored we are to be a part of Community Family Life Services.

It is an exceptional institution doing tremendous work in an economic environment that is a

challenge to so many. More then ever before the services we provide, particularly in this climate,

to our families-children, women and men—are greatly needed. It is our institution, combined with

other service groups, that makes a difference to the homeless and those living in poverty as they are

challenged to live with dignity. We are indeed proud to be counted among you as one of many who

care deeply about this community. It gives us great pleasure to work together with all of you to serve

and support vulnerable children and adults.

Fiscal year 2009 has been perhaps the most onerous since the Great Depression. It has been

decades since we last saw welfare roles and the unemployment lines swell as they have and so

quickly over these last 18 months. And with it more and more individuals and families finding

themselves not able to provide for the most basic of needs—housing and as a consequence they

are living on the streets and in poverty stricken conditions.

During 2009 CFLS became the stabilizer for many individuals and families in distress. CFLS

provided comprehensive services for more than 3000 people living in our community, from infants

to the elders. These services included 89 units of housing and housing support services to those in

need; support for 115 children living in under resourced communities to enable them to grow

academically, socially and emotionally at a time when the world around them had turned upside

down; support for more than 100 chronically unemployed persons searching for employment; and

more than 500 unitis of emergency services monthly to people walking in from off the street.

The challenge to all of us that serve Community Family Life Services—as stewards of all kind,

from volunteers to donors to trustees—-is to lead, now more than ever by taking off our gloves and

putting our uncovered hands into the mix, walking to raise money for the homeless services we

provide, packing backpacks for children and young adults equipping them with the tools they need

to be successful in the classroom and beyond and equipping those living in poverty with the right

tools to find and keep employment. The leadership challenge is to identify and implement ways to

lift those who need it most towards economic and social self-sufficiency. We hope each of you will

accept the challenge. We can do it as long as we work together and take one step at a time.

( W H AT I K N O W )

Having spent 2 years at CFLS as a resident of Trinity Arms Transition

Housing Program, I was given a stable home, regular support group and one-

on-one counseling that allowed me to openly and freely discuss the many

factors that brought about my being homeless. During my stay I learned that

if you have a foundation of belief in who you are and know what you stand

for, that belief still lives under the debris that life often piles upon you. I have

learned that my dreams may have temporary

setbacks but I can revive them any day, any

time and anywhere if I give that belief just a

little concentration each day. I have learned

that I am a survivor. Betty is currently

working as Program Assistant at CFLS.

Students continue to benefit from the programshigh quality academic tutoring and mentoring components. 3rd Grader Malika andher mother are very excited about her being in the program, she says, “I really

enjoy all the activities in afterschool. I learn new skills that gives me

1 0 2 I N D I V I D U A L S On March 19th, 2009, Community Family Life Services had a unique opportunity to be represented before the Council of the District ofColumbia by a former participant in our Partners in Prosperity job training program.Mr. Anthony Tate was asked to present his story to the Committee on Housing andWorkforce Development as a testament to the impact the Partners in Prosperityprogram had in his life.

Upon graduation from the training program Mr. Tate started his job search and wassupported by CFLS staff. He told the council, “They (CFLS) helped me believe that

I have something to offer.”

He was soon placed at the Carl Vogel Center as an HIV/AIDS outreach counselor.With his new employment Mr. Tate says that he is able to see a purpose to his life.Through CFLS’s Partners in Prosperity job training program, Mr. Tate has not justfound a job; he has found a life calling. As he told the council, “ I am grateful for allthose who have entered my life and I hope that my dedication towards prevention willassist the lives of those I come in contact with in the future.”

CFLS provided employability development and job placement for 102 chronicallyunemployed persons through this program.

Family-to-Family Mentoring


I N H E R O W N W O R D S — I T W O R K S !

3 5 FA M I L I E S I must say that when mentoring was first offered, I was a

little apprehensive not knowing who my mentor was going to be, their ideals

on life, and how they would relate to me. After being asked a few times to join,

I finally decided to see how the program could benefit me and the progression

of my personal goals. Now that I am a “mentee”, I am very pleased with the

relationship and support I have gained with my mentor. What I like most is

that her ideals are relatable to my beliefs and she encourages what I want to

accomplish in life.She has given me tools to help me deal with daily obstacles,

guidance (the most important characteristic I

looked for in a mentor), and helping me to

prepare when accomplishing my goals. I am

very pleased with the program and feel

that all women can benefit from having a

mentor or someone who has similar

experiences and goals. Life is not easy when

you are traveling alone but with the help of

others, it makes it a little easier!

“Treat people as if they were

what they ought to be, and
