outh Central Community Services, Inc. was founded in 1970 by residents of the Chatham and Avalon Park communities, in response to a lack of mental health services for a growing number of children with emotional and behav-ioral disorders. These children were being excluded from the public schools on the South side of Chicago. To meet the needs of this unique population, the South Central Community Health Service Organization (SCCHSO) was formed and a special education school established with initial funding from the Department of Mental Health. Operating from a storefront, SCCHSO expanded its services and purchased the closed Chatham YMCA, which was turned into a community cen-ter. By 1981, deteriorating economic conditions and increasing community problems and needs fueled a call for additional programs and ser-vices. That call was answered by SCCHSO. So numerous, diverse, and varied were the requests from the residents that SCCHSO had to increase its services and expand its mission. To reflect its evolution, in 1981, SCCHSO was renamed South Central Community Services, Inc. (SCCS). Since that time, South Central has blossomed into a major comprehensive social service agen-cy, offering programs and services throughout the Chicago area. Each year thousands of resi-dents, ranging from youth to senior citizens, are beneficiaries of the services provided by staff. The primary communities served by SCCS are: Avalon Park, Burnside, Chatham, Englewood, Greater Grand Crossing, Auburn Gresham, Rose-land and South Shore. Based in some of Chicago’s most destitute and disadvantaged

neighborhoods, South Central’s staff, continues to diligently address the myriad of economic, educational, psychological and social challenges confronting its constituents. The programs and services offered by South Central during FY’2014 were: Target Literacy Reading Program; Day Treatment Elementary School; Day Treatment High School; Outpatient Mental Health Programs for Children and Adults; Biddy Basketball League; Brag Club for Seniors; Senior Recreation Services; BeBe P.H.A.T (Positive, Hip and Trim); and ‘Out of School Time’ Sports & Recreation; Summer Enrichment Camp and Massage Services. The exemplary efforts of South Central have been recognized by the Sara Lee Foundation which, honored South Central’s service to the community with its coveted Spirit Award. The legacy of quality services and commitment to the community played a significant role in the Agen-cy’s continued reaccreditation by the Council on Accreditation (COA), a national accrediting body and the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation (NCA). With the support of the Board of Directors, and under the leadership of Dr. Felicia Y. Blasingame, President/Chief Executive Officer, South Central is one of the most effective comprehensive human service agencies in Chicago...one that positively impacts and improves the quality of life for individuals and families.

In today’s challenging environment the work

necessary to create and maintain a healthy community is

great; but when many hands can work together, the load

becomes less on each; the opportunities to meet our indi-

vidual and group goals increase; and the benefits we share

multiply.

This year has given me a new opportunity to

appreciate our dynamic and diverse Board of Directors in

action. They commit their time, effort, and resources in

response to the needs of the Agency and its clients, while

setting a course of action for the future. They are involved

in a variety of occupations, but never too busy to give freely

of their time, talents and expertise. No matter what the

occasion, they can be depended upon to respond in a posi-

tive and productive manner. My personal thanks to each

officer and member of the Board, for their support of this

agency and of me as Chairperson of the Board of Directors.

I, along with the Board of Directors, commend the

President/CEO, Dr. Felicia Y. Blasingame, for the leadership

she provides in the administration and operation of South

Central. It has definitely been a challenge but she contin-

ues to face each challenge with an optimistic attitude. I

truly believe Dr. Blasingame’s foresight, commitment, and

imagination has preserved and enhanced the image of

South Central. I congratulate her on her 35 years, 11 years

as a staff member and 24 years as the President/CEO.

I praise the Agency’s dedicated staff and volunteers

who continue to enrich the lives of the residents in the

communities served by South Central. They are truly

appreciated.

I extend to our partners, funding sources, public

and private; and the individual donors our gratitude for

the confidence they have placed in us to meet the daily

challenges we share.

As the Chair, I continue to be excited about our

future, and urge you to join with us in demonstrating

the transformative power of our theme: “Sustainability:

Serving the Needs of Our Community!”

Sincerely,

Anna Maria Kowalik

South Central Community Services, Inc., wrestles continuously with the question of how to keep going and to improve our lot, especially during today’s difficult economic times. Nonprofits must constantly strive for sustainability because, increasingly, funders and supporters are requiring us to demonstrate the sustainability of our efforts.

But what does that mean and how is it accomplished? While there is no one formula for building a high–performance social service organization, dur-ing the Board/Staff retreat we identified specific capacities and behaviors that are most critical to our sustainability. They are a clear and compelling vision, a passionate and engaged board of directors, a strategic approach to fund development, effective communication, marketing, and motivated professionals.

Stopping and thinking about each of these components of sustainability opened our minds to new possibilities, solutions, and ways of approaching a problem than we had not imagined before. I am proud to say that South Central’s Board/Staff worked hard to stay true to our theme for FY’14; “Sustainability: Serving the Needs of Our Community!” The Highlights below are just a few of our accomplishments:

The Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors, held November 2013, was well attended by staff, community leaders, clients, parents, community residents, funders and other stakeholders. As usual, our guests experi-enced the operation of a full Board meeting with each committee of the Board of Directors reporting on their yearly highlights and pitfalls. This is the opportunity for the President/CEO to inform the public of the status of South Central Community Service, Inc. programs and services, as well as to answer questions.

The Board of Directors approved the revised Financial Recovery Plan prepared by the President/CEO, Chief Financial Officer, and Human Resources Consultant. This plan led to a break-even year for FY’14.

The Agency received full accreditation from the Council on Accreditation (COA) which is an international, independent, nonprofit, child and family service and behavioral healthcare accrediting organization. COA envisions excellence in the delivery of human services globally, resulting in the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

The Junior Board continued to support the overall mission and activities of the agency by acting as ambassadors, developing their leadership skills, technical skills and fundraising skills. They hosted three successful fund-raisers and all proceeds benefitted SCCS Youth Programs & Services.

The Board of Directors sanctioned the appointment of the President/CEO to the Illinois African American Federation, funded by the Chicago Community Trust. This Federation brought together five Social Service agencies, in order to brain storm around sharing resources, collaborating and being educated on mergers and acquisitions.

The Comprehensive Treatment Clinical Services Department expanded its services with a new contract, The Adult Outpatient Mental Health Program. This program has contributed significantly to the expansion of the Agency. The Department also continued its provision of exemplary services to its clients through qualitative therapeutic counseling provided by the Child and Adolescent Outpatient Program and Day Treatment Clinical. These programs have successfully met the support and counseling needs of a diverse clientele throughout the City of Chicago.

The Educational Services Department experienced many accolades for its academic and therapeutic milieu programs. The Day Treatment Special Education School, High School and Elementary, ended the fiscal year meet-ing all indicators as measured by the Chicago Public Schools. The Day Treatment Program has been reaccredited by the North Central Associ-

ation Commission on Accreditation (NCA) which ensures that educational programs adhere to best practices.

The Community Service Department continued to meet community needs via out-of-school time programs which focus on youth ages 6 to 17. The program goals include improving academic performance, providing recrea-tion, sports, and cultural and artistic activities. This experience also offered youth participants positive adult mentors, improved life skills education, and service learning opportunities. The Community Services Department also continued to enhance its partnerships with external stakeholders and strengthen linkages. The Department also worked strategically to enhance revenue through facility rentals.

The Brag Club kept the young at heart active through its weekly socializa-tion, cultural and recreational activities for adults 55 and older. Senior Recreational Services are at an all time high at the Chatham Senior Suites with over 1,900 senior encounters taking advantage of line dancing, physical fitness, karaoke, computer classes and daily lunch.

The Agency’s Wellness Program celebrated its 10th year anniversary and expanded its massage services to include corporate business incentive wellness programs, while continuing to serve senior resident facilities via funding provided by the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services. We are currently serving a total of 8 facilities and South Central’s licensed massage therapists provide on site massage services to all facilities.

The Finance and Operations, Quality Assurance, Development and Human Resources Departments continued to ensure the integrity of the agency financially, qualitatively, and quantitatively while allocating appropriate resources, equipment, personnel and other necessities to accomplish the Agency’s mission.

I extend my sincere thanks to the Board of Directors, their support and leadership has been invaluable. Additionally, South Central’s staff and volunteers have been incomparably faithful, steadfast, and forthright in their day to day delivery of quality programs and services. I am so proud of them.

I want to thank all of you who have continued to support our fundraising efforts and special events; you, the foundations, corporations, businesses, city and state funders, and individuals who so generously support us; you, who offer words of encouragement; you, who donate your time as volun-teers; and, you who speak so kindly to others about us, and solicit their financial assistance.

We are proud to say that the community continues to support our efforts as we have earned their trust through an honest, transparent and responsi-ble partnership. They continue to see us as a familiar face in the communi-ty, as a viable force in the community, providing much needed services to those in need of our interventions.

In the end, it is our hope that by providing a context for sustainability, South Central will continue to benefit the individuals, families, and commu-nities that are recipients of our efforts.
