Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.G A L A T I A N S 6 : 2

PRESIDENT’S LETTER


For 75 years, we have been connecting people to proven solutions that allow them to stabilize their lives, overcome setbacks, and realize their fullest potential. Driven by an unwavering compassion, we’ve been working to focus and perfect the way we deliver our services. The result of that work is a proven process that provides resources and support to help clients break the cycle of poverty and reach their goals in life.

No matter how local and global communities may be challenged, we’ll remain rooted in the faith that calls us to offer compassionate service to poor and vulnerable people. While their needs may change over time, our willingness to serve remains steadfast because it is driven by compassion.

In 2019, we successfully extended our proven process into two key areas: community colleges and senior living communities.

First, we launched the Stay the Course® program at Columbus State Community College to address an emerging, unmet need in our community. The program aligns perfectly with our proven process, and helps working-poor college students

endure the rigors of balancing home, work, and academics to remain in school. Stay the Course® has been shown to increase college persistence by 25% and has helped students come closer to their degrees.

Secondly, we expanded our Senior Services programs. We now have 11 service coordinators who staff 13 senior residences across our 23-county diocesan footprint. Our new outcome-oriented approach to service is helping more seniors age in place, with more resources and security.

Love and compassion are gifts from God. They are so fundamentally human that they transcend the events of our time and bond all loving people together. As we face the challenges of both today and tomorrow, we will always be reminded that Compassion Endures All.

OUR PROVEN PROCESS

Many of our clients live within a thin margin of error. One unpredictable obstacle quickly spirals into another, and before they can react, they’re dealing with a full-blown crisis. At Catholic Social Services, we want to help people overcome obstacles and avoid having their challenges compound, and to get them back on track to reaching their goals. Our proven process meets people wherever they are and guides them through our phases of service, at a pace that works best for them.

BUILD TRUSTWithout trust, it’s impossible to help a person, much less realize their fullest potential. We do this by meeting people wherever they are emotionally, physically, and spiritually and by treating them with respect and dignity. We offer them compassionate service without judgment or fear, and we honor their humanity. When we interact with our clients, we want them to feel safe and autonomous.

STABILIZE THEIR SITUATIONOnce we’ve built trust with a client, we connect them to resources to help them overcome their obstacles and stabilize their situation. Obstacles can range from food insecurity to language barriers to isolation. Whatever the challenge, when clients are experiencing a crisis, they often need to address one big issue to give them the ability to take on smaller ones. This stabilization phase often gives our clients confidence and determination to overcome life’s challenges in the future.

REACH GOALSHaving built a trusting relationship with our clients and stabilized their situation, we help them take the next step forward. We work with our clients and talk about what they want out of life. We lay out action plans and give them a clear view to the life they want to live. By the time our clients reach this phase, they have learned important life skills and habits to make autonomous, productive decisions.

POWERED BY COMPASSION For 75 years, we have been connecting people to proven solutions that allow them to stabilize their lives, overcome setbacks, and realize their fullest potential. Using our proven process, we provide the resources and support to help them break the cycle of poverty and reach their goals in life.

ADDRESSING HIDDEN POVERTY ON COLLEGE CAMPUSESFINDING POVERTY IN AN UNEXPECTED PLACE Through our 75-year history, Catholic Social Services has responded with agility to the evolving, unmet needs in our community. And emerging need, driven by an increasingly globalized economy, is helping people gain the skills needed to make a living wage over the course of their career.

CSS often says that “poverty is complicated,” and there may be no clearer example of that phrase than the poverty that exists on community college campuses. When people think of college, they often think of young minds learning, socializing, and preparing for a life of success. But the story is very different on the campuses of America’s community colleges—where many low-income students face disproportionate barriers to completing an education that will help build a career to support themselves and their families.


The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.P S A L M 1 0 3 : 6

DAVID HARRISONCOLUMBUS STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRESIDENT

“ MANY OF OUR STUDENTS ARE ONE CRISIS AWAY FROM DROPPING OUT.”

THE OPPORTUNITY GAP STRIKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTSThe opportunity gap refers to the increasing socioeconomic disparity in the United States that perpetuates the cycle of generational poverty. Unlike 50 years ago, when children from low-income families could realistically reach a higher economic status than their parents, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for disadvantaged children to rise from poverty. This trend is evident in college completion statistics.

3X

EDUCATION AS PATH OUT OF POVERTYEven in prosperous economic times, 1 in 3 people can’t afford their monthly basic needs in Franklin County, according to the United Way of Central Ohio. Higher education is often seen as a path out of such poverty—with more jobs requiring education beyond high school. According to a study by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, in 2020, 64% of Ohio’s jobs will require higher education. However, there is a

completion crisis at community colleges, as economically disadvantaged students are less likely to finish their degrees. This crisis is part of a disturbing national trend referred to as “the opportunity gap.”

“ THE AMERICAN DREAM IS EVAPORATING FOR OVER 25 MILLION CHILDREN BORN IN THE LAST GENERATION...(THE OPPORTUNITY GAP) LOCKS CHILDREN IN A VICIOUS CYCLE OF SIMILAR OR WORSENING OUTCOMES...”

STAY THE COURSE®

THE EVIDENCE IS CLEARA study conducted by The Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities at the University of Notre Dame over a 4-year period demonstrated that low-income community college students face sizable obstacles to graduation. Many of these unseen challenges go beyond the typical financial and academic issues that many students experience.

The study found that there are important personal, non-academic, social, and institutional obstacles that often lead students to drop out of community college.

THE REALITY OF BALANCING SCHOOL AND LIFEMany students at Columbus State Community College are balancing full-time jobs, families, and personal stress that negatively impact their ability to achieve a college degree. These students need interventions that help level the playing field by providing resources and emergency support that economically advantaged students access naturally.

In 2019, Catholic Social Services recognized an opportunity to bring compassionate service to these self-striving students to help them overcome the challenges of integrating life and school.

BAILEY ET AL., 2015


CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES AWARDED STAY THE COURSE® PROGRAMHaving been founded and piloted by Catholic Charities in Fort Worth, Texas, the Stay the Course® program was designed to address the personal, non-academic, social, and institutional barriers to success in community college. In its pilot execution, the program produced impressive, data-supported results. With the goal of expanding the service to other communities in need, the Stay the Course® program began accepting applications for the execution of its program in other cities. Catholic Social Services applied for and was awarded seed money to replicate the program at Columbus State Community College and participate in a study into its effectiveness.

STAY THE COURSE® IMPACT:

PARTICIPANTS WERE 25.2% MORE LIKELY TO PERSIST IN COLLEGE

COMPASSIONATE CASE WORK FOR SELF-STRIVING STUDENTSA part of phase 1 of CSS’s proven process, our first goal is to build trust by treating students with respect and by understanding their situation. For many students in the program, the only free time they have is walking to class or to their cars as they leave campus. So if that’s when students can meet with their Stay the Course® case manager, called a Navigator, then that’s when our staff will meet with them. The dedicated CSS Navigators who execute the program have offices on the campus of Columbus State Community College and offer the participants support in different areas of their lives. The key to the students’ success is assessing their strengths, setting goals, and developing action plans. In doing so, students create accountability around financial freedom; job and career goals; and mental, physical, and relationship well-being—with the goal of maintaining academic performance. Participants meet with their Navigator on an ongoing basis to track progress, identify possible obstacles, and empower themselves to be independent problem solvers.


IMPACT THAT GOES BEYOND THE CLASSROOMWhile the purpose of the program is to improve student academic outcomes, participants are learning how to apply its lessons in other areas of their lives. By examining budgets and spending, managing stress and wellness, adapting to change, and planning for unexpected crises, students learn valuable life skills that carry on beyond college.

Participants report improved relationships, more financial security, less stress and anxiety, and increased life preparedness. These important skills help them for the rest of their lives.

SERVING SENIORS AT EVERY STAGE OF AGINGA GROWING OPPORTUNITY TO SERVEAccording to projections, the senior population is expected to double by 2040. As the population of seniors in Ohio continues to rise, there is a growing opportunity for Catholic Social Services to bring them compassionate services that help address the challenges of aging.


Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.P R O V E R B S 1 6 : 3 1

Operating in the 23-county footprint of the Catholic Diocese of Columbus, the Seton Square senior living properties are affordable housing residences where qualifying, low-income seniors can live with a rent payment within reach of their fixed income. These properties are often a solution to keep seniors more independent and out of assisted-living facilities or nursing homes.

With rent payments subsidized by the U.S. Department of

Housing and Urban Development (HUD), residents can live through their senior years with the confidence of stable

housing. With the issue of housing addressed, Catholic Social Services recognized that many of these residents could benefit from case management services to help them live more independently and reach their potential.

While the physical, financial, and emotional obstacles seniors face may change over time, our commitment to helping them remains steadfast. In 2019, we recognized an opportunity to help even more seniors reach the fullest potential through a new outcome-oriented case management approach. With over 40 years experience of providing vital services to low-income seniors, it was an opportunity CSS was well-positioned to take.

ON-PROPERTY SETON SERVICES:

A NEW, IMPACT-FOCUSED APPROACH TO CASE MANAGEMENTIn 2019, HUD implemented new “Standards for Success” for service coordination case management provided within its subsidized properties. This outcome-oriented approach empowered CSS service coordinators to take a proactive role in recognizing needs or potential issues in the residents of the Seton Square senior living properties. With both full-time and part-time service coordinators present in the properties, they build relationships with the residents and become familiar with their unique situations. Oftentimes, seniors don’t know about the benefits they already qualify for. Service coordinators have the training to recognize needs that the seniors themselves may not recognize. Under this model of service coordination, CSS tracks interactions and outcomes and provides an annual report for the work they do. In doing so, we’re helping more seniors age comfortably in place.

OUR PROGRAMS

FAMILY SERVICESWe approach families holistically to help our clients overcome the interrelated challenges of poverty, to help them strengthen their relationships, and to empower them with the tools they need to become self-sufficient. We address our clients’ physical needs for food, clothing, and shelter, while simultaneously helping them improve mental health and overcome barriers to long-term stability and well-being.

MATERNAL COUNSELING AND CASE MANAGEMENTLicensed social workers provide clinical counseling to mothers in their own homes.

PATHWAYS TO HOPEEmpowers survivors of domestic violence with children by offering two years of case management.

STAY THE COURSE®

Case managers will help low-income students persist in school and ultimately graduate, equipping them with credentials that increase earning power and skills to manage finances, find appropriate housing, and more.


FOSTER GRANDPARENTLow-income seniors receive a stipend to tutor and mentor at-risk youth in schools.

MONEY MANAGEMENTSocial workers/case managers help clients establish budgets and manage their own finances.

PAYEE PROGRAMProvides bill pay assistance for seniors and people with disabilities who are unable to manage their financial affairs to ensure their basic needs are covered each month.

SENIOR COMPANIONActive, low-income seniors receive a stipend to visit home-bound seniors to reduce social isolation.

SERVICE COORDINATIONService coordinators at Seton Square affordable senior housing communities link seniors with needed resources.

SUPPORTIVE SERVICESLicensed social workers provide in-home case management to older adults, helping them navigate their benefits, locate transportation services, schedule medical appointments, manage finances, find housing, and more.

TRANSPORTATION SERVICESOur transportation services allows seniors and qualified veterans to get to non-emergency medical appointments anywhere in the state of Ohio.

SENIOR SERVICESWe devote significant time and resources to the vulnerable senior population to help them stay independent and connected in the community. We help seniors work through challenges common to their stage of life, such as connecting them to resources, navigating new and rapidly changing technology, senior abuse, senior-targeted scams, poverty on a fixed income, and loneliness. We do this through a complementary range of services, including case management, money management, transportation, and payee services, and through the Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent programs, dual-beneficiary efforts that give active, low-income older adults meaningful volunteer experiences and community connectedness while supplementing their incomes.

COMMUNITY CENTERSWe know our services cannot be helpful unless the people who need them can access them. This is why we have two community centers placed strategically in areas of need. The Our Lady of Guadalupe Center serves the Hispanic community on the west side of Columbus, and the St. Francis Center serves Appalachian Ohioans in Portsmouth, Ohio. Each center serves its community with emergency assistance as well as a range of holistic, wrap-around services that help people improve their families’ lives permanently.

LOOKING INTO 2021As many of you read this annual report, the world is in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic. This disease disproportionately affects the elderly and impoverished. Thousands of seniors in central Ohio have been forced into isolation due to their vulnerability to the disease, and many working-poor families, who were already living paycheck to paycheck, have been pushed out of the workforce and into deeper poverty. This makes our work more important than ever.

While it’s impossible to know what life will look like in 2021, we know this: We will have more people to serve than ever before. As we continue our mission of serving poor and vulnerable people, we expect those populations to grow in both number and need. Together with our partners, donors, and volunteers, we will do the work of restoring the well-being of our communities both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no stronger force than our faith and commitment to service. As we navigate these sometimes troubled waters, we will be rooted in the belief that Compassion Endures All.
