M i T C H E L L President & CEO hose of us working in the community development and human service arena are now connected virtually with partners and participants in ways we could not imagine just a few years ago. We are grateful to be able to have instantaneous communications with friends near or far, and to be able to tell our story through Facebook (/pathstonecorp), Twitter (@PathStoneCorp), and of course, our website (pathstone.org). One of the major barriers for many of the participants we serve is that they are not always technologically connected. We are creating ways in which we can bridge the digital-divide in order to connect our participants to opportunities in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. As illustrated in this report, PathStone “connected” with thousands of individuals and families in FY 2012. Our participants have experienced exciting, challenging and life-changing opportunities to: build new personal and community assets, decide where and how they want to live, and receive educational resources and vocational skills to sustain them throughout their lives. We invite you to join us as we seek to connect with our community partners to advocate for those who have been left behind. Thank you for your support of our mission and work. We are deeply honored and grateful to be in partnership with you. “We invite you to join us as we continue to serve and advocate for those who have been left behind, and as we seek to connect with more participants and community partners. ” Stuart J. Mitchell, President & CEO William Kilgore, Chair, Board of Directors WiLLiAM KiLGORE Chair, Board of Directors A N N U A L R E P O RT 2 0 1 2 3 P RO M i S E # 1 : B U i L d i N G A S S E T S T ime and time again, we see families struggling to improve economic opportunity both through earnings, as well as the development of assets. Asset building and planning for the future is crucial for individuals and families looking to lead meaningful and productive lives. PathStone proudly works in urban and rural communities to develop both tangible and intangible assets—savings accounts, home equity, improved education and meaningful employment opportunities. At PathStone, one of the most significant and tangible ways of building assets is quite literally, through the development of affordable housing for low-income individuals of all ages and abilities. PathStone’s Real Estate Development staff works with community partners, non-profits, private developers and government officials to design and build housing that is affordable, accessible and seamlessly integrated into the community in which it is built. • Affordable units developed/rehabilitated: 246 • Rental units repaired: 3,159 4 T H E P AT H S T O N E P R O M i S E Breckenridge Place Ithaca, NY Constructed in the heart of downtown Ithaca, Breckenridge Place provides 50 units of accessible and affordable housing to individuals and families. A mix of one and two bedroom apartments located on one of Ithaca’s most bustling corners, the building beautifully blends traditional and modern design elements. Once the site of the Women’s Community Building, it is the first major affordable housing project in Ithaca’s downtown in over 40 years. PathStone partnered with Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services on the project to bring the LEED-certified, environmentally sustainable project to life. Additionally, PathStone manages nearly 3,000 units of affordable housing in over 70 different locations, more than one-third of which are designated for the elderly or individuals that need additional support. Many times, tenants living in PathStone properties seek to improve their personal assets by building home equity and enrolling in PathStone’s Homeownership Programs. Rose Family Homeownership The Rose family dreamed of owning their own home for years, but worried that their limited income would not cover all of the expenses. They learned about PathStone’s homeownership services while participating in a Section 8 rental assistance program, and quickly enrolled in a homeownership course and counseling. With PathStone’s help, the couple improved their credit, saved for down payment and closing costs, and secured a direct USDA loan. The happy homeowners then successfully applied for a Yates County HOME grant to help cover the costs of required rehabilitation to their new home. • Homeownership education graduates: 789 • First-time homebuyers: 191 Homeowners also come to PathStone looking for ways to improve the physical condition and increase the value of their homes. In FY 2012, participants received free energy audits of their homes, helping to keep their homes affordable by reducing energy consumption and lowering monthly utility bills. • Homes receiving weatherization and energy improvements: 216 • Investment in windows, doors, insulation, caulking, roofing, etc.: $611,850 • Homes rehabilitated: 45 for a total investment of $759,494 • Homes repaired: 325 Beyond building home equity, PathStone participants took steps towards self-sufficiency and financial stability through assistance programs and matched savings accounts. In Pennsylvania, participants in the Work Ready and EARN (Employment Advancement Retention Network) received financial literacy training and skills to improve creditworthiness, and in Indiana, families opened Individual Development Accounts that were matched 3:1. • EARN participants receiving financial literacy training: 200 • Indiana families enrolled in IDA accounts: 31 • Total IDA savings: $14,100; Matching and incentive funds: $44,024 In Puerto Rico, the PathStone Community Development Corporation of Puerto Rico’s Low Income Taxpayer Clinic helped participants manage their assets, recover funds, and create payment-plans when necessary. • Tax liabilities released: $86,000 • Tax refunds submitted: $20,511 Phyllis King Handyman Program When retired homeowner Phyllis King found that her front porch was falling apart and becoming very unsafe to walk on, she called PathStone’s Handyman Program looking for assistance. She used the program in the past for small repairs and was very grateful for the quick assistance. Working with the Genesee County Office for the Aging, the program was able to completely replace the deteriorating steps. A N N U A L R E P O RT 2 0 1 2 5 P R O M i S E # 2 : C R E AT i N G N E i G H B O R H O O d S T OF CHOiCE he health and strength of a neighborhood is measured by the commitment and participation of its residents, business owners, and community partners. PathStone believes that vibrant neighborhoods are neighborhoods where residents: have access to safe, affordable housing, are able to realize their full economic and personal potential, and are provided quality goods and services. Neighborhoods of choice are places where individuals and families want to lay a foundation, make connections and give back. One of the most obvious ways in which PathStone creates communities in which residents want to stay is through providing services to residents living in some of its properties. Resident services include providing advocacy, translation/interpretation, benefits resources and navigation, finding appropriate case management, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, home management, meals and transportation. Additionally, residents volunteer their time to plan special events and participate on resident councils to ensure the health and stability of their fellow residents. Beyond services provided to residents living in its properties, PathStone works with communities to engage residents in activities and provide them with a framework to improve the quality of live in these places. In two cities in New York— Newburgh and Rochester—community organizing efforts are underway that focus on community revitalization through 6 T H E P AT H S T O N E P R O M i S E Community Revitalization & Resident Services in Action: Above: Garden Workshop, Newburgh, NY.

In these neighborhoods, residents engage not only with each other, but with local officials and community partners to put their dreams for healthier, more livable neighborhoods into action. • Residents engaged in community revitalization: 150 • Residents and stakeholders actively involved in community gardening, civic engagement beautification, etc: 255 • Resident-sustained community gardens in Marketview Heights: 6 Through its Manufactured Housing Cooperative Project, PathStone works with residents to collectively buy their communities and establish a non-profit board structure that allows for long-term security for homeowners, adequate reserves for capital improvements, and perhaps most importantly, pride in ownership. • Income above projected budget for Meadow Valley Park, Inc.: 23%, allowing for purchase of a community center and necessary infrastructure improvements • Total expended for repairs and upgrades to the sewer system at Marilla Country Village, Inc.: $56,000 Carleen Uimonen Candy Apple Pre-School Center, Inc. Essential to the health and vitality of neighborhoods are the small businesses and entrepreneurs that choose to invest in these neighborhoods by offering quality goods and services, and creating opportunities for meaningful employment. Through the PathStone Enterprise Center, Inc., PathStone provides training, technical assistance and access to financing for entrepreneurs looking to start a business, or small businesses hoping to expand or improve their business. • Microenterprise Assistance Program and other business solutions training graduates: 221 • Commercial loans closed: 6, totaling $378,600 • Jobs impacted: 17 Carleen Uimonen, director of Candy Apple Pre-School Center, Inc., came to the PathStone Enterprise Center desperate to fill a financing gap in the construction of a new facility. The pre-school had far outgrown its original space, and had a waiting list of well over 50 children. PathStone was able to finance $250K for Candy Apple, allowing them to access necessary grant funds for expansion. In the new facility, Candy Apple can serve 30% more children, 65% of whom are from low income families. Excitingly, Candy Apple will hire ten new staff members to meet the demands of the growing school. A N N U A L R E P O RT 2 0 1 2 7 P RO M i S E # 3 : P ROv i d i N G A E d U C AT i O N , T R A i N i N G A N d L i F E L O N G L E A R N i N G O P P O RT U N i T i E S good education is the foundation upon which stability and selfsufficiency is built. it is the key to unlocking critical resources and finding meaningful opportunities. PathStone believes that no one is too young or too old to learn and gain new skills. Children who participate in formalized early childhood education programs are better prepared for success as they enter grade school. This is especially true when considering the fact that many children find stability and structure in the classroom when they otherwise might not find it at home. PathStone operates regional Head Start and Early Head Start programs for families in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Here, many of the children enrolled in the program are the children of migrant or seasonal farmworkers that travel with their parents to find agricultural work. For these children and their families, PathStone provides continuity in their educational preparation, so that they are on target to meet the goals for children their age. • Children enrolled in Early and Regional Head Start Programs: 267 • Children enrolled in Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Programs: 443 • Children enrolled in Pre-K Counts programs in Pennsylvania: 47 8 T H E P AT H S T O N E P R O M i S E Above: Preschool and Pre-K Students participating in a class activity Left: Early Head Start program participant Opposite Page: Head Start Program staff and participants, Coaldale, PA As children grow into young adults, they face an entirely new set of demands and challenges that may be different than those faced by their parents. PathStone knows that youth engaged in programming throughout adolescence are far more likely to enroll in programs of higher education and make sound decisions. Through various youth education and training programs, PathStone staff work with participants to improve their literacy and math scores, obtain their GED, and gain important workforce development skills. • Youth that earned their GED through the House of Original Dreams (HOOD) program in Pennsylvania: 100 • Professional certifications in customer service and digital literacy earned: 54 • Total number of youth enrolled in programs: 154 Workforce development is critical at any age. Many adults and even seniors find themselves at a crossroads at points in their life when their skills or abilities do not match with the demands of the labor market. For some, they have only worked in one industry and do not have transferable skills. For others, there are barriers to finding meaningful employment- a past criminal record or history of substance abuse. PathStone operates Adult Training and Employment Programs including the National Farmworker Jobs Program, as well as Senior Community Service Employment Programs (SCSEP) for individuals looking to improve their marketable skills, explore new fields, and find meaningful employment. • Participants receiving skills assessment, career exploration, job training and/or job placement services: 3,904 • Hours of community service completed by SCSEP participants in Pennsylvania: 173,225 PathStone also provides important health and safety training to individuals already in the workforce, and extends the training into resources to create stronger, healthier communities. Farmworkers receive occupational health and safety training to ensure that they are maintaining appropriate standards for workplace safety, and their families participate in maternal and child health education programs. PathStone also provides diabetes and breast cancer education, mammogram services, HIV counseling, as well as alcohol, tobacco and drug education and prevention programs. • Individuals served through Health and Safety programs: 11,161 • Individuals receiving training, resources or case-management through PathStone Emergency and Supportive Services: 9,108 • Individuals participating in Family SelfSufficiency training, or housing assistance programs: 4,975 Sojourner House at PathStone, Inc. provides shelter, structure, and numerous training opportunities to individuals and families in need, so they are prepared to lead responsible and meaningful lives. • Women and children served in Transitional and Supportive Housing and other programming: 521 Ysmael Contreras Training and Employment Working as a farmworker his entire life, Ysmael Contreras came to PathStone hoping to find more stable employement, and allow him to explore beyond his home of Adams County, PA. Ysmael expressed interest in earning his Commercial Driver’s Liscense and PathStone helped him enroll in a CDL Training Program. Ysmael completed the program at the top of his class and was commended for his strong work ethic and drive to succeed in the classroom. He is employed fulltime with S&H Express and happily travelling the country with his newly developed skill. Nakiesha Osbourne Literacy4Jersey, Job Search and Placement Assistance When Nakiesha Osbourne came to PathStone’s Job Search and Placement Assistance program in Vineland, NJ, she found her greatest barrier to finding stable employment was that she never received a high school diploma. She quickly enrolled in Literacy4Jersey, and completed over 62 hours of training before sitting for her GED test. Throughout the program, Nakiesha faced several significant challenges and situations of instability, but one thing remained constant: she wanted to be a good role model for her children. Nakiesha sat with her children every night to complete homework assignments, and even celebrated her graduation on her daughter’s 13th birthday.

Es la llave para abrir los recursos esenciales y encontrar oportunidades significativas. PathStone cree que nadie es muy joven o muy viejo para aprender y obtener nuevas destrezas. Los niños que participan en programas de educación formalizados para la niñez temprana están mejor preparados para lograr éxito al ingresas a la escuela primaria. Esto es especialmente cierto cuando se considera el hecho de que muchos niños encuentran estabilidad y estructura en el salón de clases cuando de otra manera no podrían encontrarlo en su hogar. PathStone opera programas de Head Start y Early Head Start para familias en Nueva Jersey y Pennsylvania. Aquí, muchos de los niños matriculados en el programa son niños de trabajadores agrícolas migrantes o temporeros que viajan con sus padres para encontrar trabajo agrícola. PathStone provee para estos niños y sus familias continuidad en su preparación educativa de modo que puedan estar encaminados para lograr los objetivos para niños de su edad. • Niños matriculados en los programas Head Start Temprano y Regional: 267 • Niños matriculados en los programas Head Start para Migrantes y Temporeros: 443 • Niños matriculados en los programas Pre-K Cuenta en Pennsylvania: 47 16 LA P RO M E S A d E P AT H S T O N E Arriba: Preescolar y Pre-K Los estudiantes participando en una actividad de clase Izquierda: Participante en el programa de Early Head Start Frente Página: El personal del programa de Head Start y los participantes, Coaldale, PA A medida que los niños crecen para convertirse en adultos jóvenes, ellos se enfrentan con un conjunto nuevo de demandas y retos que pueden ser diferentes de los enfrentados por sus padres. PathStone sabe que los jóvenes que participan en programas durante su adolescencia tienen una mayor probabilidad de matricularse en programas de educación superior y tomar decisiones acertadas. PathStone trabaja con los participantes a través de varios programas de educación y capacitación para jóvenes para mejorar sus puntajes en alfabetización y matemáticas, obtener su GED y ganar las destrezas laborales importantes. • Jóvenes que obtuvieron su GED a través del programa House of Original Dreams (HOOD, siglas en inglés para Casa de Sueños Originales) en Pennsylvania: 100 • Certificaciones profesionales de servicio al consumidor y alfabetización obtenidas: 54 • Número total de jóvenes matriculados en programas: 154 El desarrollo de la fuerza laboral es esencial a cualquier edad. Muchos adultos y hasta personas mayores se encuentran en una encrucijada en ciertos momentos en sus vidas cuando sus destrezas o capacidades no coinciden con las demandas del mercado de trabajo. Algunas personas solamente han trabajado en una industria y no tienen destrezas que puedan ser transferidas. Otras se enfrentan a barreras para encontrar trabajos significativos—un récord criminal en el pasado o un historial de abuso de substancias. PathStone opera programas de capacitación y empleo incluyendo el National Farmworker Jobs Program, así como el Senior Community Service Employment Programs (SCSEP, siglas en inglés para Programas de Empleo en Servicios a la Comunidad para Personas Mayores) para individuos que buscan mejorar sus destrezas comerciales, explorar nuevos campos y encontrar empleo significativo. • Participantes que recibieron evaluaciones de sus destrezas, exploración de carrera y servicios de adiestramiento para el empleo y/o colocación en empleos: 3,904 • Horas de servicios a la comunidad completadas por los participantes de SCSEP en Pennsylvania: 173,225 PathStone provee también información importante sobre la formación en salud y seguridad a individuos que están en la fuerza laboral, y extiende la formación e recursos para crear comunidades más fuertes y sanas. Los trabajadores agrícolas reciben formación en salud y seguridad ocupacional para asegurar que ellos mantienen los estándares apropiados de seguridad en el lugar de trabajo, y sus familias participan en programas de educación sobre la salud de la madre y el niño. PathStone también provee educación sobre diabetes y cáncer de la mama, servicios de mamografía, asesoramiento sobre el VIH, así como programas de educación y prevención de alcohol, tabaco y drogas. • Individuos servidos a través de los programas de salud y seguridad: 11,161 • Individuos que recibieron formación, recursos y gestión de casos a través de los servicios de emergencia y apoyo de PathStone: 9,108 • Individuos que participaron en formación de autosuficiencia familiar o en los programas de asistencia para vivienda: 4,975 Sojourner House at PathStone, Inc. proporciona refugio, estructura y oportunidades de capacitación a las personas y familias necesitadas, por lo que están dispuestos a llevar una vida responsable y con sentido. • Número de mujeres y niños que han recibido apoyo y servicios de Vivienda de Transición y de apoyo y otros programas: 521 Ysmael Contreras Adiestramiento y Empleo Habiendo trabajado toda su vida como trabajador agrícola, Ysmael Contreras vino a PathStone esperando encontrar un empleo más estable y que le permitiera explorar más allá de su hogar en el condado de Adams, PA. Ysmael expresó interés en obtener su licencia como conductor comercial y PathStone le ayudó a matricularse en el CDL Training Program. Ysmael completó el programa en lo más alto de su clase y fue elogiado por su ética de trabajo y su impulso para tener éxito en el salón de clases. Él está empleado a jornada completa en S&H Express y muy felizmente viaja por el país con su recién desarrollada destreza. Nakiesha Osbourne Literacy4Jersey, Asistencia para Búsqueda y Colocación en Empleo Cuando Nakiesha Osbourne vino al programa de Asistencia para Búsqueda y Colocación en Empleo de PathStone en Vineland, NJ, ella encontró que su mayor barrera para encontrar un empleo estable era que nunca recibió un diploma de escuela secundaria. Ella se matriculó rápidamente en Literacy4Jersey, y completó más de 62 horas de educación antes de tomar su examen para el GED. Ella se enfrentó a situaciones de inestabilidad significativas durante el programa, pero algo que permaneció constante fue su deseo de ser una buena modelo a seguir para sus niños. Nakiesha se sentaba todas las noches con sus niños para hacer sus asignaciones y llegó a celebrar su graduación cuando su hija cumplió 13 años. i N F O R M E A N N UA L 2 0 1 2 17 P RO M E S A N º 2 : C R E AC i ó N L d E v E C i N dA R i O S d E E L E C C i ó N a salud y la fuerza de un vecindario se miden por el compromiso y la participación de sus residentes, propietarios de negocios y los socios de la comunidad. PathStone cree que los vecindarios vibrantes son aquellos donde los residentes: tienen acceso a vivienda segura y costeable, pueden ser capaces de realizar todo su potencial económico y personal y reciben bienes y servicios de calidad. Los vecindarios de elección son lugares donde los individuos y familias desean sentar una base, hacer conexiones y dar de sí. Una de las maneras más obvias como PathStone crea comunidades donde los residentes desean permanecer es a través de los servicios proporcionados a los residentes que viven en algunas de las propiedades. Los servicios a los residentes incluyen intercesión, traducción/interpretación, navegación de recursos y beneficios, búsqueda de gestión de casos apropiados, resolución de conflicto, intervención en crisis, administración del hogar, comidas y transportación. Además, los residentes ofrecen su tiempo voluntariamente para planear eventos especiales y participar en concejos de residentes para asegurar la salud y estabilidad de sus compañeros residentes. Además de los servicios proporcionados a los residentes que viven en sus propiedades, PathStone trabaja con las comunidades para involucrar a los residentes en las actividades y dotarles de un marco para mejorar la calidad de vida en estos lugares.

Esencial para la salud y vitalidad de los vecindarios son los pequeños negocios y empresarios que invierten en estos vecindarios ofreciendo productos y servicios de calidad y creando oportunidades para empleos significativos. A través del PathStone Enterprise Center, Inc., PathStone provee adiestramiento, asistencia técnica y acceso al financiamiento para los empresarios que desean empezar un negocio, o a pequeños negocios que esperan ampliar o mejorar sus negocios. • Graduados del adiestramiento del Programa de Asistencia para Microempresas y otras soluciones para negocios: 221 • Préstamos comerciales hechos: 6, totalizando $378,600 • Empleos impactados: 17 Carleen Uimonen, directora del Candy Apple Pre-School Center, Inc., vino al Centro Empresarial de PathStone Center desesperada por poder cubrir la brecha en el financiamiento de la construcción de un nuevo local. El centro preescolar ya no cabía en el espacio original y tenía una lista de espera de más de 50 niños. PathStone pudo financiar $250K para Candy Apple, permitiéndoles obtener acceso a los fondos de subvención necesarios para la ampliación. En el nuevo local, Candy Apple puede servir a 30% más niños, 65% de los cuales vienen de familias con ingresos bajos. Lo más emocionante es que Candy Apple contratará a diez nuevos miembros del personal para satisfacer las demandas de la creciente escuela. i N F O R M E A N UA L 2 0 1 2 19 P RO M E S A N º 1: CREACióN U dE BiENES na y otra vez vemos familias luchando por mejorar las oportunidades económicas tanto a través de sus ingresos así como el desarrollo de bienes. La creación de bienes y la planificación para el futuro es crucial para los individuos y familias que buscan poder llevar vidas significativas y productivas. PathStone orgullosamente trabaja en las comunidades urbanas y rurales para desarrollar bienes tangibles e intangibles – cuentas de ahorro, capital de la vivienda, mejor educación y oportunidades de empleo significativas. En PathStone, una de las maneras más significativas y tangibles para la creación de bienes es, literalmente, a través del desarrollo de vivienda costeable para individuos de todas las edades y habilidades que tienen ingresos bajos.
