Safety. Family. Miracle. These are words that people regularly use when they speak with me about what Community of Hope means for them. Mothers and fathers repeatedly tell me how unsafe they and their children have been – afraid for their lives, their jobs, their homes, their health. For many families, Community of Hope represents the first time they have found a safe haven – with keys to their own apartments and people who care about them and support them.

In 2010, Community of Hope provided safe homes to 279 families, more than double the number we served the year before. This increase was due to the expansion of our rapid re-housing and permanent supportive housing programs. Both programs provide home-based case management to help parents maintain their housing and increase their income as well as make sure their children are enrolled in quality schools with productive after-school activities.

Community of Hope also made a big step in 2010 in ensuring patient safety and improving quality with the implementation of Electronic Health Records. We provided about 13,300 medical, dental and behavioral health visits to about 3,700 patients. We will now be able to use information more meaningfully to improve patients’ health and track patients with chronic diseases who need additional education or follow-up.

2011 will be another busy year. Despite tightening government budgets, we will continue to provide safety and security to families who are homeless, helping them move out of shelters as quickly as possible and keeping them stably housed in their own apartments. We are excited to open a new permanent housing program for 19 families on Missisippi Avenue, SE in the fall of 2011. Plans are also progressing nicely for the new Health and Resource Center in Ward 8 which will, when fully operational, provide more than 40,000 additional visits to people in Ward 8 who have long had limited access to healthcare. We are planning the groundbreaking for the fall of 2011 and plan to open the center at the end of 2012.

We could not do this work without our many faithful supporters. Together, we can help children and families achieve stability and security from which to grow and thrive.

CoMiNg SooN...Health and Resource Center

Community of Hope is building a brand new 50,000 square-foot building in Ward 8 at South Capitol and Atlantic Streets. This Health and Resource Center will be one of the first new health centers built east of the river in decades and will provide medical, dental, and behavioral health services, social services, and wellness education. By the end of five years, we plan on providing 40,000 visits to 10,000 people. We are on target to break ground in fall 2011 and begin providing services at the end of 2012. We have already secured funds for this project from the Health Resources and Services Administration, the DC Primary Care Association, and the DC Department of Health. Additional funds will be obtained through a $3 million capital campaign.

according to a report by the rand corporation, residents in Ward 8 experience some

of the worst health outcomes in the district and Ward 8 is a priority area for

expanded primary care. Mississippi Avenue Apartments

Community of Hope is working with the DC Department of Human Services (DHS), the William C. Smith and Company, and multiple District government agencies to repurpose this former police building on Mississippi Avenue, SE. When completed, the building will have 19 units of housing for highly vulnerable families. COH will provide case management and other supportive services, while William C. Smith will serve as the property manager. Subsidies for families will be provided by the District. The site will open in September, 2011. Renovations of this building are almost complete.

Rates of death from diabetes and heart disease in Ward 8 are double the rate in other parts of the District. African Americans in DC die from diabetes at four times the rate of white residents.

Cornelius Steele and Community of Hope:Compassionate Care, 30 Years and Counting

by Canute Knott-Malcolm, Grant Writer Cornelius Steele became a member of Community of Hope’s Board of Directors in June, 2010. However, his relationship with COH started 30 years earlier at our health center. “When I went to Community of Hope, the first thing I noticed was how compas-sionate the doctors were,” said Cornelius. The clinical team at COH helped Cor-nelius manage his diabetes. “I went to nutrition classes and learned that there are some foods you just don’t need to fool with. I also learned about exercise.” Over the years, the rela-tionship between COH and Cornelius strengthened. When he was approached to become a member of the Board of Directors, Cornelius’ answer was a re-sounding “yes.” “As a patient myself, I wanted to make sure I was there on the board to be a voice for other patients.” As one of the patients on our consumer-majority Board of Directors, Cornelius is able to offer unique insight into how Board level decisions impact

patients. “Serving on the board has been a rewarding and satisfying experience,” says Cornelius. However, he admits the transition to being a board member was a bit challenging at first; “There are so many abbreviations in healthcare! Know-ing what they mean and understanding

them was a little bit difficult at first, but that’s healthcare for you.” Today Cornelius is able to speak knowingly about a num-ber of abbreviations including HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act) and FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center). He continues to be a patient at COH and is proud to say, “I am healthier today than I was before I started coming to

COH. I used to have to do four shots of insulin a day. Today I am down to zero! I have learned to manage my diabetes, and I have also learned all those acronyms.” Community of Hope is excited to have Cornelius on our Board. His insight, hu-mor and long personal history with COH is invaluable.

Cornelius Steele joined COH’s Board of Directors in June, 2010. He is currently the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors.

TEAM HOPEMs. C’s journey into homelessness started like so many others. However, the teamwork and cooperation between her and her Community of Hope case managers have put her on a path of hope. The Virginia Williams Resource Center in northeast DC is the central intake center for homeless families needing emergency shelter. The most vulnerable families are assigned to DC General during hypothermia season from November 1 – March 31. I was staying with someone who wasn’t paying the rent I was paying to them – we ended up getting evicted. I was working at my kids’ daycare as a volunteer, and the staff gave us money to stay at a hotel that night. I went to Virginia Williams and told them I’m likely to have my kids taken away by being on the streets, by having nowhere to keep them warm to sleep. They found me a spot at DC General. I stayed for about a month. I racked my brain every night trying to figure out how I was going to get my own place and get my kids stable. Not long after, I was at Girard Street. There, it was a lot more hands on. You see the case managers every week and get more things done. I was working with Ms. Denise. At first, I was frustrated with the intake because it was so long. But after a while, I had most of the papers I needed, and the ones I didn’t have I worked to get. More doors were opening for me. After the storms in 2010, Ms. Minozka [COH Housing Specialist] and Ms. Denise asked me about my paperwork for the Homelessness and

Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). By this time, Ms. Denise and I had been the best team ever! I went to

see an apartment on a Thursday. I was approved that same day! My school is next because I want a career. I’m looking in the medical field, maybe a home health aide, a medical receptionist or assistant, something like that. I want to express to others that it can be done – you just have to get focused. I came a long way. I look at this whole

process as my last resort, that I don’t want to ever go back to this. I always thank Ms. Denise for helping me and believing in me. The case managers are here to help us. You want to work with them because they were working for me. My whole process took less than six months because I was determined. This transformation has done me so good. I want to tell others that they need to be strong for their kids. If they see my story and see my success, that might make somebody want to reach for the stars for their kids.

Ms. C recently graduated from Community of Hope’s HPRP program.

ExPANDiNg CAPACiTy THrOugH Our PArTNErSHiPS by Canute Knott-Malcolm, Grant Writer

In the ever-changing and increasingly technology driven world of healthcare, it is often necessary to make significant invest-ments in infrastructure to keep up with the times. Areas such an Information Technol-ogy (IT) and healthcare quality improve-ment initiatives are particularly critical in order to provide the safest and highest quality of care possible. Over the last two years, with support from funders such as CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States (Kaiser Permanente), COH has been able to do just that. CareFirst and Kaiser Permanente provided generous grants to COH in the amount of $100,000 and $50,000 respec-tively. Through their support we were able to implement eClinicalWorks (eCW), an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system, at our Adams Morgan health center. With eCW, COH has been able to move away from paper to electronic records. As a result of eCW’s launch, we have signifi-cantly improved our record keeping and record retrieval capacity. The electronic format also allows clinicians to more easily track and manage chronic diseases in order to create better health outcomes for our

patients. The launch of eCW was, in many ways, the beginning of what will be a multi-year process of expanding organizational capacity. Committed to improving access to quality healthcare and expanding treatment capacity, Kaiser Permanente made an ad-ditional gift of $95,000 this year to support our efforts to upgrade to the meaningful use version of eCW and become a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). PCMH is a primary care model that is designed to strengthen the clinician–patient relationship by replacing episodic care with coordinated care and a long-term healing relationship. We thank CareFirst, Kaiser Permanente and our many supporters for helping with our efforts to obtain the technical and systemic infrastructure we need to ensure our patients receive high quality, safe, and state of the art care. We believe the days when health centers were behind the curve in IT, patient safety, and quality improvement should be buried in the annals of history. With your continued support we can continue to boldly move forward while accomplishing our mission of improving the health and quality of life of low-income, homeless and underserved families and individuals in DC. Thank you!

Hi my name is Tiere. I’m in the 8th grade and I have a lot of fun with my mentor. He helps do a lot of things. He helped me get in a school. He gave me tips on basketball. Plus we went to a lot of great places. He took me to my first NCAA basketball game. We went bike riding and kayaking and lots more. I know he cares because he doesn’t get paid for mentoring me. In this program you’ll have a lot of fun and a lot of good memories.

But, I have found that in my relationship with Tiere over the past 6 months, he has taught me more than I ever imagined. Community of Hope did a great job matching us up, and we have great conversations about our shared interest in sports and Tiere’s curiosity about current events. We’ve had a lot of fun going to museums and engaging in outdoor activities, but our efforts to find the best high school for Tiere will have the greatest long term impact on helping him reach his immense potential. The process also taught me a great deal about the unique opportunities as well as barriers to learning for DC students. Tiere is friendly, inquisitive, and an all around great person. My relationship with him has been extremely fulfilling and I’m glad I have the chance to help out such a wonderful kid.

ExPANDiNg CAPACiTy THrOugH Our PArTNErSHiPS by Canute Knott-Malcolm, Grant Writer

In the ever-changing and increasingly technology driven world of healthcare, it is often necessary to make significant invest-ments in infrastructure to keep up with the times. Areas such an Information Technol-ogy (IT) and healthcare quality improve-ment initiatives are particularly critical in order to provide the safest and highest quality of care possible. Over the last two years, with support from funders such as CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States (Kaiser Permanente), COH has been able to do just that. CareFirst and Kaiser Permanente provided generous grants to COH in the amount of $100,000 and $50,000 respec-tively. Through their support we were able to implement eClinicalWorks (eCW), an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system, at our Adams Morgan health center. With eCW, COH has been able to move away from paper to electronic records. As a result of eCW’s launch, we have signifi-cantly improved our record keeping and record retrieval capacity. The electronic format also allows clinicians to more easily track and manage chronic diseases in order to create better health outcomes for our

patients. The launch of eCW was, in many ways, the beginning of what will be a multi-year process of expanding organizational capacity. Committed to improving access to quality healthcare and expanding treatment capacity, Kaiser Permanente made an ad-ditional gift of $95,000 this year to support our efforts to upgrade to the meaningful use version of eCW and become a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). PCMH is a primary care model that is designed to strengthen the clinician–patient relationship by replacing episodic care with coordinated care and a long-term healing relationship. We thank CareFirst, Kaiser Permanente and our many supporters for helping with our efforts to obtain the technical and systemic infrastructure we need to ensure our patients receive high quality, safe, and state of the art care. We believe the days when health centers were behind the curve in IT, patient safety, and quality improvement should be buried in the annals of history. With your continued support we can continue to boldly move forward while accomplishing our mission of improving the health and quality of life of low-income, homeless and underserved families and individuals in DC. Thank you!

Cornelius Steele and Community of Hope:Compassionate Care, 30 Years and Counting

by Canute Knott-Malcolm, Grant Writer Cornelius Steele became a member of Community of Hope’s Board of Directors in June, 2010. However, his relationship with COH started 30 years earlier at our health center. “When I went to Community of Hope, the first thing I noticed was how compas-sionate the doctors were,” said Cornelius. The clinical team at COH helped Cor-nelius manage his diabetes. “I went to nutrition classes and learned that there are some foods you just don’t need to fool with. I also learned about exercise.” Over the years, the rela-tionship between COH and Cornelius strengthened. When he was approached to become a member of the Board of Directors, Cornelius’ answer was a re-sounding “yes.” “As a patient myself, I wanted to make sure I was there on the board to be a voice for other patients.” As one of the patients on our consumer-majority Board of Directors, Cornelius is able to offer unique insight into how Board level decisions impact

patients. “Serving on the board has been a rewarding and satisfying experience,” says Cornelius. However, he admits the transition to being a board member was a bit challenging at first; “There are so many abbreviations in healthcare! Know-ing what they mean and understanding

them was a little bit difficult at first, but that’s healthcare for you.” Today Cornelius is able to speak knowingly about a num-ber of abbreviations including HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act) and FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center). He continues to be a patient at COH and is proud to say, “I am healthier today than I was before I started coming to

COH. I used to have to do four shots of insulin a day. Today I am down to zero! I have learned to manage my diabetes, and I have also learned all those acronyms.” Community of Hope is excited to have Cornelius on our Board. His insight, hu-mor and long personal history with COH is invaluable.

Cornelius Steele joined COH’s Board of Directors in June, 2010. He is currently the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors.

Safety. Family. Miracle. These are words that people regularly use when they speak with me about what Community of Hope means for them. Mothers and fathers repeatedly tell me how unsafe they and their children have been – afraid for their lives, their jobs, their homes, their health. For many families, Community of Hope represents the first time they have found a safe haven – with keys to their own apartments and people who care about them and support them.

In 2010, Community of Hope provided safe homes to 279 families, more than double the number we served the year before. This increase was due to the expansion of our rapid re-housing and permanent supportive housing programs. Both programs provide home-based case management to help parents maintain their housing and increase their income as well as make sure their children are enrolled in quality schools with productive after-school activities.

Community of Hope also made a big step in 2010 in ensuring patient safety and improving quality with the implementation of Electronic Health Records. We provided about 13,300 medical, dental and behavioral health visits to about 3,700 patients. We will now be able to use information more meaningfully to improve patients’ health and track patients with chronic diseases who need additional education or follow-up.

2011 will be another busy year. Despite tightening government budgets, we will continue to provide safety and security to families who are homeless, helping them move out of shelters as quickly as possible and keeping them stably housed in their own apartments. We are excited to open a new permanent housing program for 19 families on Missisippi Avenue, SE in the fall of 2011. Plans are also progressing nicely for the new Health and Resource Center in Ward 8 which will, when fully operational, provide more than 40,000 additional visits to people in Ward 8 who have long had limited access to healthcare. We are planning the groundbreaking for the fall of 2011 and plan to open the center at the end of 2012.

We could not do this work without our many faithful supporters. Together, we can help children and families achieve stability and security from which to grow and thrive.

CoMiNg SooN...Health and Resource Center

Community of Hope is building a brand new 50,000 square-foot building in Ward 8 at South Capitol and Atlantic Streets. This Health and Resource Center will be one of the first new health centers built east of the river in decades and will provide medical, dental, and behavioral health services, social services, and wellness education. By the end of five years, we plan on providing 40,000 visits to 10,000 people. We are on target to break ground in fall 2011 and begin providing services at the end of 2012. We have already secured funds for this project from the Health Resources and Services Administration, the DC Primary Care Association, and the DC Department of Health. Additional funds will be obtained through a $3 million capital campaign.

according to a report by the rand corporation, residents in Ward 8 experience some

of the worst health outcomes in the district and Ward 8 is a priority area for

expanded primary care. Mississippi Avenue Apartments

Community of Hope is working with the DC Department of Human Services (DHS), the William C. Smith and Company, and multiple District government agencies to repurpose this former police building on Mississippi Avenue, SE. When completed, the building will have 19 units of housing for highly vulnerable families. COH will provide case management and other supportive services, while William C. Smith will serve as the property manager. Subsidies for families will be provided by the District. The site will open in September, 2011. Renovations of this building are almost complete.

Rates of death from diabetes and heart disease in Ward 8 are double the rate in other parts of the District. African Americans in DC die from diabetes at four times the rate of white residents.
