CHAI STAFF

A MESSAGE FROM CHAI’S PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Todd Tilson Mitchell PosnerPresident Executive Director

There has been much change at CHAI over the course of fiscal year 2016. Programs and initiatives were begun and others completed, we welcomed new staff and Board members and wished others farewell, and CHAI 2.0 (our reorganization plan introduced in FY’15) was tweaked and implemented. At CHAI we have often remarked that, “the only constant in life is change;” but a very prescient fortune cookie motivated us to add, “Change is Progress.”

In FY’16, there has been significant progress in the development of our new Division of Aging in Community. With the support of a 3-year grant from The Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Foundation, we hired our first director of this new division. All of CHAI’s older adult programs will now collaborate to find opportunities under one umbrella. Among other anticipated benefits, this has already resulted in a new partnership with LifeBridge Health. In addition, we have drawn increased attention from AARP, Aging 2.0, The Associated, and other organizations as a host and incubator for new program initiatives to support aging in community.

In the CHAI 2.0 Community Development Division, we re-envisioned our community engagement work and have identified new synergies among programs and projects, such as disseminating information about CHAI’s homeownership and loan programs through the Glen Hills Redevelopment Plan and uniting our Fallstaff school work with the Fallstaff Multicultural Organizing Project. This division has also enhanced our efforts to deepen CHAI’s impact in the public schools in our General Services Area and Pikesville.

In FY’17, CHAI will continue its implementation of CHAI 2.0 across all divisions and programs. We look forward to moving our organizational structure and work plan into greater alignment with CHAI’s assessment of outcomes, agency impacts, and team performance appraisals. Under the supervision of its new director, Division of Aging in Community will develop a strategic plan to guide its programs and activities. Our School Community Partnership Program will work to expand financial and educational resources for all schools in our focus communities. We will also solidify plans to begin our first projects in support of local Jewish Communal Anchor Institutions. Last but not least, CHAI’s Housing Enterprises Division plans to secure our next housing development opportunity.

We believe that FY’17 will be a year of capitalizing on new opportunities through the lens of CHAI 2.0, which will bolster our ability to enhance and stabilize the communities we serve. Thank you for your continued trust in and support of CHAI!

Sincerely,

5809 Park Heights AvenueBaltimore, MD 21215chaibaltimore.org410-500-5300

• Approximately 2,000 services were provided for close to 200 Northwest Neighbors Connecting (NNC) members by 37 active volunteers.

• NNC volunteers invested more than 1,200 hours in providing personal transportation, technology support, exercise classes, friendly calls, check-in and reminder calls, and social and educational events.

AGING IN COMMUNITY

• In the first year of the Fallstaff Multicultural Organizing Project, 419 residents engaged in monthly service events focused on immigration, public safety, and tax preparation and over 211 residents participated in nine monthly multicultural activities.

• CHAI provided free backpacks with school supplies and books to 62 students at Fallstaff Elementary Middle School (FEMS), provided free weekend meals to 41 students in partnership with the Baltimore Hunger Project, and established afterschool tutoring programs at both Milbrook Elementary Schools and FEMS, serving almost 100 students.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

• CHAI offered seven Homebuyer Education Workshops, in which 139 households participated; 63 households took advantage of Pre-Purchase Homebuyer Counseling.

• CHAI provided 33 Energy Savings Loans and six grants totaling $315,000 to residents in CHAI’s GSA and adjacent northwest Baltimore County communities.

• CHAI distributed $3,500 in matching grant funds for façade improvement projects to 7 homeowners, resulting in a total of $12,535 in façade improvement investments in the CHAI neighborhoods.

• The Senior Home Benefits Coordination Program assisted 161 highly vulnerable seniors with 496 benefits services delivered in the first 3 quarters of FY 2016.

• The Senior Home Repair & Modification Program served 122 low and moderate income seniors and people with disabilities with 480 repairs, modifications and handyman services.

“ My volunteer driver was a lovely person and I was fortunate to have her by my

side literally and figuratively during my doctor appointment. I will probably be

calling on NNC a lot more in the near future. Thanks so much for your help.”

“ The Weinberg Terrace Community Manager made my mother’s very difficult move,

a breeze. All aspects were handled very efficiently, expediently and with the

human touch of understanding and compassion.”

possible for us to stay after school and learn to be better writers. My grades are

much better now.”
