We are delighted to share the reflections of our women, friends and supporters within these pages, and we hope you will join them in celebrating what YOU have helped make possible for the women and children of Marian House this past year. In every one of our women’s homes, and throughout the halls of Gorsuch Avenue, we witness and celebrate small but precious moments of transformation – a woman earning her first pay check, another woman celebrating months of sobriety, children being reunified with their families, and still other women celebrating passing their GED test. These moments are possible because of YOU; our friends, family, foundation and community supporters. In December, 2017, we opened the first of three buildings on our Independence Place campus, The Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Building, expanding our permanent housing program by 22 units. In the spring of 2018, we launched a licensed addiction treatment program and began providing therapy to alums and women in permanent housing. Despite changes in funding priorities in the homeless services arena and cuts we have received, last year we provided housing to 162 women and 122 children. Of those women exiting our core program for single homeless women (Marian House I/II) 74% completed the two-year program and moved on to permanent housing. Of those who were able to work, 68% obtained employment prior to their exit. The women we serve have undergone countless hardships before reaching our doors. Our mission of providing structure and holistic support that includes therapy, addiction treatment, education, and employment services is critical to the long-term success of our women. Our program is an investment in the lives of women and children throughout Maryland. You make that investment possible. As we look to 2019, we are thrilled to continue our growth with Phase II of our Independence Place project. We hope to complete the renovation of the convent and rectory buildings on the Blessed Sacrament campus by summer of 2019. This renovation will allow us to create a center for our growing transitional program for homeless women with their families. We will also continue to grow our addiction treatment program and have begun to accept women outside of Marian House, allowing us to serve more women in need and bringing in additional revenue to support our programs. Marian House continues to be a place where women are nourished and empowered toward independence. Thank YOU for making this possible. We know our shared vision of providing safe, affordable housing to women and children in Baltimore as well as opportunities for healing, education and employment is a worthwhile investment. When we work together, the possibilities are endless. Thank you. Sincerely, Tere Geckle Katie Allston, LCSW-C Chair, Board of Directors Executive Director Expanding Our Reach • 1 WHO DO WE SERVE?

Mr. Waxman's opening statement is enclosed. Attached is testimony given by Congressman Steve Bartlett of Texas, Senator Chafee, and the Congressional Budget Office. Also enclosed is a side-by-side comparison of the two bills and current Medicaid law developed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress.. Senator Bentsen has agreed to mark up Senator Chafee's bill early in the 101st Congress. Should Senator Bentsen become the Vice-President, Senator Matsunaga of Hawaii would become Senate Finance Committee Chairman and would, in all likelihood, be agreeable to moving forward. Congressman Waxman, while not going as far as to discuss mark-up on either his or Florio's bill, did agree, in both his opening and closing statements, to work with Congressman Florio on a compromise early in the next Congress. A list of current co-sponsors of the Chafee/Florio bills is attached. We need to keep all those returning Senators and Congressman on-board when this process begins anew in January. For those in your Congressional delegations who are not current co-sponsors, plan some visits to programs while they are home campaigning this fall and over the holidays.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.
