2014 board of directors

a place to call homeFor nearly 100 years, Emma Norton Services has provided our community with safe, affordable housing. Today, as over 10,000 people find themselves homeless every night in Minnesota, our programs are more critical than ever. Every woman and family that walks through our doors is able to access a whole array of services designed to help them get back on their feet and work towards independence. But they often find something else here. They find a community. They find self-acceptance. They find joy. They find a place to call home.

letter from the president

I work with a company that describes every person

as “whole, complete and perfect.” As human

beings, we all have struggles we are dealing with.

“Whole, complete and perfect” means we have

within us the capacity to deal with those struggles

in our lives and to make a difference in the lives of

others. And, even when we are “whole, complete,

and perfect,” having a support system around us

helps us see things we cannot see and gives us

tools for growing and developing.

Dear Friends,

The clients at Emma Norton Services (ENS) are also “whole, complete, and perfect.” They have within themselves to the resources they need to address what they are dealing with, whether it be substance abuse, homelessness, or mental health.

Emma Norton Services is their support system, helping them see their gifts as well as the blind spots that may interfere with their growing and developing into independent women who can share their lives with their communities.

I want to personally thank each and every one of our donors and volunteers for your support. We literally would not be here, nor could we provide these tools for growth and development, without your contributions of time and money.

If you have heard any of the residents at Emma Norton Residence or Emma’s Place speak about their experiences, you know that your support makes a difference!

2014 has been an exciting year, filled with changes, transitions, surprises, and opportunities. The first change came in mid-January with Tonya

Brownlow taking the position of Executive Director. Tonya definitely hit the ground running, getting acquainted with all the workings of ENS and comparing them with what she knew about best practices in each area.

The Board of Directors spent much of this year working on streamlining our systems so we could work more effectively. This included updating the bylaws, creating new committees, and outlining new communication procedures so that all board members are fully informed about committee discussions and actions.

It really does take a team for Emma Norton Services to function effectively, and I want to take this opportunity to thank the staff, the Board of Directors, and all of you who have contributed in any way to ENS for all you do!

Gratefully,

Barbara Moore 2014 Board President

emma norton residence emma’s place

Emma Norton Residence is a transitional

housing program located in St. Paul that

specializes in serving individual women who

are homeless and dealing with either mental

illness, chemical dependency recovery, or

both. Due to the large number of women with

these specific needs, Emma Norton Residence

is an integral part of the social services

system in Ramsey County. Intensive chemical

and mental health services are necessary

to achieve the best possible outcomes of

lasting stability in housing, employment, and

financial self-sufficiency.

Emma’s Place, located in Maplewood, has

thirteen townhouse units and provides

permanent affordable supportive housing

for single-parent families with three or more

children who were formerly homeless. All of

the families include one or more members

who are in recovery from either drug or

alcohol addiction, mental illness or both.

Typically, there are between 60-80 children,

ages newborn to 18, living at Emma’s Place.

Emma’s Place is one of the few organizations

in Minnesota that offers affordable housing

and support for large families.

‘I realized I had a lot of support here at

ENR. Many women came to me saying

that they accepted me for who I am and

supported me. That is something I have

been waiting my whole life to hear. I

thought I was all alone, and now I see

that there was all this support in front of

me the whole time.’

ENR Resident

‘Everything I had on my list of

goals when I came here is slowly

being checked off. It’s such a

good feeling! Everything I messed

up for the past 5 years is slowly

coming together and I feel good

about it.’

Emma’s place has been such a help to me. I’m a single

cally homeless and staying with my sister temporarily. Em-

ma’s Place is a gift. I get a lot of help from the people here.

I’ve been getting one on one assistance with a case worker

and got help with my kids’ schooling. My children get after

school programs, help with their homework, activities, field

trips. I thank God for it. This is somewhere you can gain and

go forward, and you have nothing to lose.

Being in my own space again gives me a lot of calm.

I was thinking today about when I first moved

into Emma’s, how scared I was. How hopeless. I was

telling myself ‘I will never be able to live alone again’

because my addiction was so bad. I never dreamed

I’d be on my own. But I’ve been in my apartment two

months now. I’m staying sober, I’m keeping up with

my ARMHS appointments, I see my psychiatrist, I see

my therapist. I’m able to maintain all that and I’m

still getting A’s in school.”

LaShawnda, grade 7, arrived at Emma’s Place early last year frustrated and

struggling to bring her grades up before the end of the school year. She had

several missing assignments and her grades floated between Fs and Ds.

During the school year, LaShawnda began participating in Emma’s Place youth

programming. After meeting with our staff in one-on-one academic support

sessions, she took initiative to review her missing school work, set concrete

goals for each week, and reflected on her progress. She completed many of the

missing assignments for her classes and retook tests to achieve much better

scores.

As a result, her grades in Science and Math have jumped from “Fs” to solid “Bs,”

and LaShawnda finished the school year with her highest GPA ever.
