YIELDS A 7-8% RETURN IN REMEDIATION, WELFARE, HEALTHCARE, CRIME AND IMPRISONMENT COSTS! OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO ARE PREPARED TO ENTER KINDERGARTEN READY TO LEARN. THIS MEANS THAT THEY WILL BE DEVELOPMENTALLY ON TRACK WITH RESPECT TO COGNITIVE, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. UWCFC INVESTS IN COMMUNITY EFFORTS (BPT ALLIANCE FOR YOUNG CHILD. AND NORWALK EARLY CHILD COUNCIL) (BAYC NEC) THAT INCREASE AVIALABILITY AND ACCESS TO QUALITY PREK PROGRAMS, PROVIDES A SUMMER PROGRAM FOR BPT CHILDREN WITH NO FORMAL PREK KICK OFF TO KINDER.) (KOK) ADDRESSES HEALTH NEEDS OF YOUNG CHILDREN (CHILD 1ST)(CF), AND PROVIDES PARENTS WITH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD PARENTING SKILLS, (NUTURING MY BABY, RAISING READERS)(NBN, RR). RESEARCH IS CLEAR: IF A CHILD IS NOT READING AT GRADE LEVEL BY 4TH GRADE, HE/SHE IS AT RISK OF NOT GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF OUR STUDENTS FALL FAIR BELOW GOAL AS MEASURED BY 3RD GRADE CMT SCORES. UWCFC PROVIDES RESOURCES-BOOKS, VOLUNTEERS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT PROGRAMS AT 5 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS OF HOPE IN NORWALK, FAIRFIELD, BPT, STRATFORD AND COOP. EDU. SERVICES PRESCHOOL TO HELP AT RISK CHILDREN "BE ABLE TO READ TO LEARN" BY 4TH GRADE. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING RESOURCES TO CLASSROOMS, PARENTS PARTCICPATE IN LITERACY EVENTS, STUDENTS RECIEVE BOOKS TO READ OVER THE SUMMER TO PREVENT "SUMMER SLIDE" AND FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED WITH BOOKS TO BUILD HOME LIBRARIES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH READ GROW 1ST BOOK. THE PICTURE IS REALLY, REALLY BLEAK FOR KIDS WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL EDU. SO IMPROVING THE DROP OUT RATE IS ESSENTIAL AND HELPING YOUTH ATTAIN COLLEGE ENTRANCE GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK OUT OF POVERTY. UWCFC'S MENTORING PROGRAMS(WI-MENTOR AND THE MENTORING INST. COASTAL FAIRFIELD CTY) PROVIDE CARING ADULTS FOR THOSE KIDS TO GIVE THEM AN EXTRA BOOST OF CARE AND ENCOURAGEMENT. OUT OF SCHOOL TIME PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE STRUGGLING STUDENTS WITH EXTRA ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE HELP CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP. UWCF SUPPORTS OUT OF SCHOOL TIME LEARNING PROGRAMS (NHA MATH LITERACY, BPT. AFTER SCHOOL NET., NEIGH. STUDIOS, HORIZON STUDENT ENRICHMENT PROG, CARVER CTR) FOR KIDS PRIMARILY IN OUR URBAN CENTERS PROVIDING THEM WITH AN EXTRA LEVEL TO COMPLIMENT SCHOOL AND HOME AND INCREASING THEIR READINESS TO GO BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE AND CAREERS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF HOMELESS-OR ABOUT TO BE HOMELESS-FAMILIES IN FAIRFIELD CTY. AND IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE THAT FINDING HOMES FOR THEM AND KEEPING THEM THERE IS NOT EASY IN FAIRFIELD CTY. THAT'S WHY UWCFC-AS A COMMUNITY LEADER AND FACILITATOR-HAS CREATED AND SUPPORTED 2 MAJOR SUCCESSFUL COALITIONS INVOLVING OVER 150 COMMUNITY LEADERS IN GTR NORWALK AND GRT BPT.(CALLED OPENING DOORS) TO PREVENT AND END HOMELESSNESS. AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAS FUNDED A MODEL OF HOUSING-CALLED SUPPORTIVE HOUSING-THAT HAS PROVEN TO KEEP THE FORMERLY HOMELESS HOUSED AND PRODUCTIVE. FINDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES FACING LOW AND MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES IN FAIRFIELD CTY. UWCFC SUPPORTS THE FAIRFIELD COLLAB. FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, A MODEL THAT HAS SUCCEEDED IN HELPING MANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS REACH COMPLETION. THE VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSIS. PROGRAM HELPS LOW INCOME FAMILIES AVIOD THE COST OF TAX PREP. AND CHECKS ON ELIGIBILITY FOR PROGRAMS SUCH AS EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC). THIS LEADS TO MORE MONEY AVALIABLE FOR HOUSING AND OTHER ESSENTIALS PLUS THE POTENTIAL TO SAVE FOR EMERGENCIES. UW HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR HELPING COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE A "SAFETY NET" OF FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER, AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT. THAT HAS BEEN PARTICULARY TRUE DURING THE TIME OF THE GREAT RECESSION.
