Description	MAM's SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAMS position families to meet their basic needs on their own with improved employment, financial coaching and English language skills. Heads of households in crisis become engaged in stabilizing their lives with access to Employment Services, Case Management, English as a Second Language and complementary programs provided at MAM by partner organzations. MAM assisted 590 people seeking employment in 2011 by providing them with the education, tools, and support needed to obtain gainful employment plans in order to stabilize the family; including 1,055 job coaching sessions, 536 mock interviews and 982 computer training sessions. Additionally, 72 clients graduated from the Employment Certification program with 57.6% obtaining jobs. Case Managers work with families to develop a self-sufficency plan that includes MAM financial assistance in decreasing amounts as family budgets become balanced. The Case Manager also coordinates public benefits and other social service resources for families in need. Case Managers worked with 442 families in 2011. MAM partners with another non-profit agency to provide housing and case management for homeless families with children. English as a Second Language offers 5 levels of basic and vocational english classes to adult learners at four sites and evening classes are available at certain locations. 357 adults enrolled in 2011 and 203 students completed their courses and 85% passed their final exam. Complementary programs offered at MAM include free income tax services (1,963 returns with gross refunds totaling $3.7 million), enrollment in public benefits (2,441 clients assisted in HCHD Gold Card, SNAP, Medicaid, CHIP registration), mental health counseling (137 individuals had 564 sessions), Immunizations (810) and health screenings (326), GED (131 learners), financial literacy (230 clients) and legal counseling (356 individuals).

Description	MAM offers FAMILY EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE to help families facing financial crisis avoid homelessness. This program includes: Shelter and Utility, Medical/Health, Food/Household, and Clothing/Transporation. Shelter and Utility assistance helped to prevent eviction for 1,683 clients. In many cases this means that the primary wage earner will spend less time seeking assistance and more time earning a salary. Children are able to stay in the school where they are enrolled, rather than transferring midyear. Qualified clients receive a pledge and the funds are paid directly to the landlord or utility (gas and water) company. Medical/Health assisted 454 clients who received financial assistance to help pay for a doctor or dentist visit, or a prescription. Urgent health care can reduce workplace absenteeism, a root cause of unemployment and reduced wages and prevent more expensive emergency room visits. Food/Household assistance provided 271 sack lunches and MAM partners with two area food pantries to alleviate hunger, provided families home care packs with cleaning and toiletry items to relieve household expenses. Clothing/Transportation: Families also qualify for clothing and transportation for work, job search or medical care. The MAM Resale Store distributes clothing and household items at no cost to residents in our service area who have limited income and cannot meet their basic needs without support. The store is staffed with 75 regular MAM volunteers, serves as a site for court ordered community service and local volunteer organizations. Students from MAM English as a Second Language Program also volunteer in order to improve their speaking ability.Transportation/Other: People seeking jobs are given Metro money or gasoline vouchers to go to an interview, and, in some cases, to go to work until they receive a first paycheck. The same transportation assistance is given to clients needing help getting to a doctor, dentist or pharmacy. MAM served 928 clients this way. MAM helped 256 people pay for documents necessary to find work, enroll children in school, etc. These included driver's licenses, birth certificates, and state ID cards. 906 clients received additional miscellaneous help with things such as personal grooming aids, home care packs or vouchers to buy specialty items deemed necessary.
