While students learn in the classroom, our family support department works with families to teach them how to become self-sufficient. Our case managers assess families' immediate needs like food, clothing, and shelter first; then focus on long-term planning. Case managers help families increase their income, employment, and ultimately aim to help them obtain stable housing. By focusing on the entire family, we make it possible for children to learn. This year we served 203 families. 72% of families maintained or improved their employment status, 90% improved or maintained stable housing, and 75% showed an increase in income levels. 245 health checkups, dental & hearing screenings, and eye exams were provided, and 1,130 mental health needs were met.
