ECUTIVE LETTER

Dear Friends,

It’s that time of year — our most favorite time of the year! It’s the time of the year when packages arrive in the mail from our favorite people. Our package for you? A Calendar/Annual Report – all in one!

You see, all of us at PEC are grateful for all you do for us, each and every day, 365 days a year. Each one of those days we celebrate the success of our clients who…• get into emergency housing, then move onto transitional and permanent housing.• start the road to recovery from domestic violence and drug and alcohol addiction. • improve their parenting and life skills. • find a better future through job training, and see a brighter future for their children through safe, high quality childcare and afterschool programs.

In fact, there’s so much more — more than we can list on a single page.

That’s why it’s important that we let you know about the work we do, and lives we change — the lives you change. This work never stops, regardless of the day.

So our gift to you is a calendar — a calendar that’s our annual report. This way you can see how you made a difference to hundreds of families each and every month, like…

Candace (February)… or Diane (June)… or Yvette (July)… or Tiffany (December)

And so you can consider how you’ll do the same — or even more — for this coming year.

Have a warm and safe holiday season.

Best Wishes,

Farah Jimenez Bernadine HawesPresident and CEO Chair, Board of Directors

PEC aims to change the life trajectory of women and children and inspires families to new heights. But change only starts when families feel secure. That’s why PEC provides…

Physical security, through temporary and permanent housing and the opportunity to change a family’s direction while living in nurturing surroundings in one of more than 200 housing units, from emergency housing to affordable apartments.

Emotional security, with case management and counseling from trusted staff, so a family can embrace its own strength and tackle the toughest problems — developing action plans for education, counseling, and housing.

Economic security, through nationally acclaimed educational programs, digital access, and employment services. PEC operates these programs in five centers:• Center for Employment and Training,• Center for Digital Inclusion and Technology, • Center for Parenting and Early Childhood Education,• Center for Empowerment and Life Skills, and• Center for Childcare (with Montgomery Early Learning Centers).

But PEC’s work doesn’t stop at the shelter, apartment, or training center door. By investing more than $57 million in…• developing environmentally friendly affordable housing,• restoring storefronts,• attracting resident artists and galleries,• establishing 20 technology centers, and • beautifying open spaces,

…our neighborhood revitalization efforts support an improving Lancaster Avenue business district — offering jobs, goods and services — and inspire Second Friday celebrations of the local arts and business community.

Nurturing Families

An illness… a job loss. No money for rent. Move with the kids — into mom’s place. Too cramped.

Move again, to a hotel near the airport… just for a while. Waiting. Waiting.

Finally, an opening, at PEC.

Just a few months in PEC housing and Candace completed her computer skills certificate.

Using her newfound skills and tools provided by PEC, she checks the job listings regularly.

Her children attend PEC’s Afterschool Program — and they’re earning good grades!

By taking PEC’s behavioral health workshops, Candace understands her emotional and parenting issues much better.

She’s finally able to share her own pain — including a childhood trauma.

“I sit there and listen, maybe say a few words, get things off my chest,” says Candace. “I learn a lot from the workshops. It helps.” Candace isn’t alone. From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 PEC served…• 115 women, 33 teens, and 184 children, and• 148 families experiencing homelessness who called PEC ‘s temporary housing “home.”

Nearly 65 percent — 96 households — moved onto permanent housing.

But it doesn’t stop there. Our latest affordable housing unit, Jannie’s Place, opened this year — so we can help more families, like Candace’s.

Thank you Candace, for sharing your family’s story.

Bridging the Digital Divide

Armed with flipcams and an enthusiasm to bring the real story to the world, 75 students from across the country — including 15 from Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Penn, Swarthmore, Temple and Ursinus — split up into groups of seven to find a dozen PEC KEYSPOT public computer centers throughout West Philly. On this warm spring day in March 2012, they interviewed students of all ages, job seekers and staff members on the impact of having wireless internet available in their community.

The “micro-videographers” were part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholars program. They came expecting the worst. “They heard all the bad things about Philadelphia,” says Campus Philly’s Dave Lanza. “PEC’s KEYSPOTS changed that.”

Since PEC opened 20 PEC KEYSPOTS public computer centers in June 2011, this program far exceeded the two year federal goal of 40,000 computer instructional hours. In just 14 months, we provided more than 70,000 hours of training to Philadelphia communities!

Strengthening Communities

In April 2012, PEC began Make Your Mark — a neighborhood planning process to build a community where people choose to live, work and thrive! Working with residents of West Philadelphia’s Belmont, Mantua, Mill Creek, Saunders Park and West Powelton neighborhoods, it took…

• 1000+ Engaged residents• 370 Completed surveys • 7 Focus groups• 5 Neighborhoods• 4 Community meetings• many, many one-to-one resident interviews

…to create one neighborhood plan.

who has been an active member of the Mill Creek neighborhood for 25 years. “Usually, people hear about [revitalization plans] after the fact. PEC worked really, really hard to make sure that people were included from the beginning. They had a diverse menu of activities to make sure that everybody could participate.”

In addition to widespread community endorsement, the full Wells Fargo- sponsored Make Your Mark plan received approval from The Philadelphia City Planning Commission.

“[PEC] provided a platform where people were important,” says Cassandra Green,

Celebrating Success

In 2012, Diane celebrated ten years in a home of her own by obtaining an associate’s degree, and beginning a promising future in creative writing.

But her future wasn’t always so bright. At age 19, Diane had encountered more traumatic events than most people in their 40s. She had been a homeless, pregnant teenager who was running from the memory of her father’s abuse. She had violent partners, medical issues and already lost one baby to illness.

The supportive structure and stability at PEC was a major part of her transformation. With PEC’s help — case management, counseling, parenting classes, job training, digital access programs, housing, and a support network — Diane found the strength and skills to get on track.

“Coming into PEC and not having family to rely on, PEC was my family,” says Diane.“I still don’t have family that I can call. I have my children and I have PEC. That’s the bond I have.”

Today Diane lives in secure, stable housing while she raises her two sons alone. They have the security that her childhood lacked. She is enrolled at a local university, working on a four-year degree in Communications. She wants to serve her community as a writer or journalist and mentor for others in traumatic situations.

“Writing is therapeutic for me,” Diane says. “I like to write things from inspiration.I want to be an inspiration for other women.”

Last year, PEC served 120 families like Diane’s with a combination of affordable housing and services. Thank you, Diane, for sharing your inspirational story.

Renewing Hope

Yvette never went back for her GED… until now.

It was 1996 — the early years of Welfare Reform. She finished her training at PEC, but life took a sudden turn. Within a week of each other, both her parents died. The GED would have to wait. She was needed elsewhere.

Life didn’t get any easier. Yvette struggled. Minimum wage jobs punctuated by unemployment left her homeless by 2010.

Yvette knew that to get the job she wanted, she needed her GED…and the best place for that was PEC.

Yvette’s perseverance and her instructor’s dedication got her through the five required tests. But Yvette left with more than her GED. She walked away with the workplace knowledge and the life skills to get a full time job — and help with issues she didn’t recognize she had.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yvette tells everyone that the PEC staff’s uncompromising encouragement kept her on task and reminded her of her goals and dreams whenever she was losing hope.

From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 PEC helped our clients obtain 28 jobs. Seven participants, like Yvette, obtained their GEDs!

Energizing Lancaster Avenue

Fresh Donut, La Pearl, and Art on the Avenue are all longtime Lancaster Avenue business leaders. In 2012, they welcomed new businesses like Reed’s Coffee and Tea House, Virgin Hair Boudoir, This N That, Jollie’s West, A Part of Me, and Resellers Central Market. Lancaster Avenue is alive!

The business resurgence on Lancaster Avenue mirrors the excitement building from the Make Your Mark planning process for the neighborhoods surrounding the Lancaster Avenue business district.

Join us every Second Friday of each month when about 30 businesses from 34th to 43rd streets along Lancaster Avenue feature extended shop hours, live music, children’s activities, art show openings, and special guest food trucks to celebrate the district’s arts and commerce.

“People are more excited about this area than ever!” exclaims George Stevens, President of the Lancaster Avenue 21st Century Business Association.

Inspiring Academic Success

A whirlwind of children arrive at the Afterschool Program at Gloria’s Place, each day after school. They chatter about their teachers and friends as they line up for a healthy snack — maybe a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with a side of fresh fruit. The laughter and chatter settles as the kids sit at a shared table, unzip their book bags, and pull out folders with math worksheets and reading exercises.

When the school day ends, they can count on tutors to help them with homework at PEC’s Afterschool Program. They know they will have something to eat. They know they are safe. They know they have playmates experiencing the same difficulties of displacement. Staff and volunteers appreciate the traumatic environments where their lives began, and marvel at each child’s amazing resilience.

PEC staff also knows that a child’s early years are critical. A child’s performance by sixth grade indicates his likelihood of graduation. The staff knows that an adult with a high school diploma is better able to earn a living wage and is eight times less likely to be incarcerated. If they can increase a child’s confidence and academic achievement, it helps break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.

From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, PEC’s Afterschool program served 64 children. Only one had to attend summer school. They all advanced to the next grade. That’s 64 kids breaking the cycle. Can you help us do more?

“You see [the students] grow and learn, and you grow with them at the same time,” says Ilan, a volunteer tutor.

Find out how to volunteer as a tutor by calling Development at 215-382-7522.

Winning Partnerships

The Phillies Wives hit a home run again with their generous donation of 45 new book bags stuffed with calculators, scissors, glue, and other essential tools for academic success to the children at Gloria’s Place. What’s more? Each backpack came with a special touch — a note of encouragement from a Phillies family. PEC is grateful for the Phillies Wives longtime support of our families in transition. “The Phillies Wives just amaze us every year with their generosity,” says Khalil Shearlds,Manager of PEC’s Center for Parenting and Early Childhood Education. “They bring a sense of hope to the kids and the moms. It’s wonderful to provide for a kid — who probably wasn’t expecting much of anything — that much and more.”

At PEC we think the Phillies are winners no matter what the score. Their record-breaking generosity makes them champions in our eyes every year. Thanks so much to everyone at the Phillies for another great year!

Giving Thanks

There are a lot of things to give thanks for this time of year…

family and friends, health and happiness…and PEC’s Center for Parenting and Early Childhood Education.

Why? Because the Center for Parenting and Early Childhood Education’s Department of Human Services-sponsored Parenting Collaborative builds the foundation for healthy family relationships.

How? By teaching parents experiencing homelessness age-appropriate child development, non-abusive modes of discipline and limit setting, and how to strengthen personal resources and support systems.

The result? Children protected from abuse, neglect, and delinquency.

Maybe the best part? Any client in a PEC program, such as housing, employment training, and GED can participate, just like 64 parents who completed the program by the end of the fiscal year. Of those…

• 68% of clients increased their mastery of adult life skills• 61% of clients improved interactions with their children

What’s more? Parents named the Center’s DHS Parenting Collaborative workshops as one of the most informative and beneficial programs that they have attended.

Making the season merry. Season’s Greetings!

Tiffany (not pictured) stood at the front desk, tears in her eyes. She came to ask who left the package on her bed. After spending days in the hospital aside her sick infant, Tiffany had forgotten the time of year. Someone — someone she didn’t even know — cared enough for her and her family to make sure that the season didn’t pass unmarked.

Your incredible generosity during the holidays every year sends a message of hope to countless PEC families, like Tiffany’s.

The holidays are a time of joy for some, but sadness for many more as they reflect on past tragedies and disappointments that led them to our door. Volunteers help families move through what can be the toughest time of year for many of our families. Non-denominational holiday parties and the annual gift drive help lift their spirits.

“We all celebrate family, friends and togetherness during the holidays,” says Farah Jimenez,PEC President and CEO. “Being able to provide gifts for everybody, and distribute them equally with thought to their gender, their age and their background, gives families a piece of normalcy.”

To make a happy memory for a child or mother this year, contact Development at 215-382-7522.
