Kirsten Mellor President, Board of Directors, The Arc San Francisco

Dear Friends of The Arc, s you will see from this report, The Arc achieved at record levels in furtherance of its goals for A this past year. We took time to enjoy our 60th Anniversary! In October, we capped our 60th th Anniversary celebrations record attendance and fundraising at our 11 Annual Arc Angel Breakfast. I personally want to thank our dedicated Board of Directors for continuing their advocacy and support of the mission of The Arc to empower our clients to achieve to their highest potential. Their unswerv- ing dedication to The Arc’s mission of self-determination, dignity and quality of life inspires me to give as much as I can to the wonderful community built by The Arc’s phenomenal staff and clients. As you enjoy the summary of impressive accomplishments achieved by The Arc for fiscal year ended 2013, know that these are but a taste of the amazing results achieved each day by our dedicated staff and volunteers in supporting the efforts of our clients to live lives full of dignity and self-determination. 644 This enrichment is only made possible by your generosity and support of our programs. Every day The Arc’s management and staff champions our clients in their efforts to navigate the hous- ing and job markets of a challenging city, to improve their health and wellness and to enjoy their lives through innovative programming at our locations and the friendship and fellowship of our caring com- munity. We welcome you to visit The Arc and see your contributions in action and let us express our gratitude to our entire community of supporters. With sincere appreciation, Cirque de l’Arc

Kirsten N. Mellor Board President

Clients Served The Arc San Francisco currently serves 644 clients with developmental disabilities in San Francisco San Mateo and Marin counties as of June 30, 2013.

Employment The Arc’s Employment Services placed 42 clients in new jobs. The total number of clients in paid em- ployment is now 198 with an average hourly wage of $11.70. Our annual Employer Survey showed that 9 out of 10 employers rate The Arc’s Employment Services “Good to Excellent.” 60 clients have been at the same job for 10 years or more. We launched a new Technology Subcommittee and a new pilot, in collaboration with the Specialist Guild, training clients in quality assurance testing, resulting in the placement of 2 clients in QA positions. The Arc/PG&E/

Project Search program, now in it’s third year, successfully graduated 6 interns, 4 of whom are currently employed.

Senior Services 53 seniors are currently enrolled at our senior center on Bay Street near Fisherman’s Wharf. Seniors participated in the “Adopt-a-Grandparent” program with the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center. Seniors helped clean neighborhood streets as part of the San Francisco Giants “Clean Sweep” beautification program. (continued, page 9) www.thearcsf.org 9

(Making an Impact, cont.) Center for Health & Wellness We now support 90 at-risk individuals with dedicated Health Advocates who accompany clients on medical visits, advocate for them with health practitioners and assist individuals in complying with medication and other therapies. A bridge between clients, clinicians and families, The Center is a community-based resource for San Francisco General Hospital, and a training site for third year medical students at UCSF. Under a grant from The Arc US and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), we implement- ed Wellness Wednesday screenings to understand and address health disparities. Part of a national program called “HealthMeet,” the screenings are capturing data that will be consolidated with other Arcs across the nation with the goal of removing barriers to better health care for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Independent Living 75 clients in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties received Residential Services from The Arc, with instructors providing support to live independently through training in personal banking, bill pay- ing, grocery shopping and meal planning—all skills clients need to live successfully on their own.

Housing The Arc announced the development of two new HUD-fund housing initiatives. One on Page Street and another on Sixth Street in San Francisco are moving ahead with 35 affordable units of housing for adults with I/DD. The accessible units will feature roll-in showers, lower cabinet and counter heights. Community spaces are planned Rendering of new housing at 200 Sixth Street (top); Marcus went from stock for group instruction, fitness and recreation activities. This housing will be online in 2015-16. clerk to cashier at Trader Joe’s.

Education and Skills A new curriculum to address evolving needs of older clients was introduced including “Changing Lives: Growing Older & How to Make the Most of It,” “Death and Dying,” Recreation Therapy & Nutrition. New classes and workshops available to all ages were added, including Men’s Group, Women’s Group, Anger Manage- ment, Anti-Bullying and our leadership training program, Arc Allies. 160 clients took advantage of these new offerings.

Responding to Autism Over half of The Arc’s new referrals are individuals with autism. We implemented a new individualized program for 5 clients with autism who are benefitting from a new quiet space and dedicated supports that teach skills for integrating successfully into busy environments like the Arc and the larger community. During April, Autism Awareness Month, The Arc continued to reach out to the community through participation in the San Francisco Giants Autism Awareness night at AT&T Park.

SFUSD Arc Access & Transition-Age Youth We welcomed the San Francisco Unified School District’s new program for transition age youth with disabilities to our building annex this past year. “SFUSD Access The Arc” focuses on teaching functional life skills within a community setting. These new neighbors are enjoying access to many of The Arc’s activities while getting a preview of adult opportunities they can plan for in the future.

Friends Like Me launched after months of planning and preparation, offering a range of activities such as free movies, pool and Wii competitions and board games. Created to address the isolation experienced by many Arc clients after-hours, the program is an important vehicle to connect with peers, develop improved communication and problem-solving skills in a safe, fun environment.

Family Advocacy The Arc’s Family Coalition members met monthly to exchange information, learn about new programming for clients and to hear the latest updates from Sacramento and Washington. The group hosted the Annual Family Pasta Dinner in June with over 80 clients, family members and friends attending.

Volunteers Our Volunteer Program expanded with 31 individual, 5 group and 3 corporate participants stepping up to improve not only our facilities but our clients’ quality of life by donating 387 hours in time and talent. From animal therapy visits to large landscaping and cleanup projects, our volunteers stepped up to make us look and feel better.

Staff Training The Arc added six new trainings to our agency curriculum including “Mental Health: Common & Dual Diagnoses,” and “Learning Styles & Natural Support: Theory and Models.” These new trainings will help staff better understand and address the complex needs of the clients we serve.

Self-Advocacy Over 30 clients attended the 15th annual Self-Advocacy Conference in San Francisco, plus our self-advocates rallied in protest against the threatened closure of City College, and further budget cuts at the state capitol in Sacramento. Arc seniors attended the Women with Disabilities Rally and Flash Mob Rally at City Hall, San Francisco to protest cuts affecting services for its most vulnerable citizens.

The Arts Artists from The Arc’s three studios exhibited their artwork at 16 different venues this year, from SF MOMA to local galleries, downtown corporations and cafés. Sales of over $6,981 were generated, helping to support individual Arc artists and our art programs while students learned valuable skills as self-determined artists Steady Eddy Awardee Ed Cai with staff Yuki Li at the and entrepreneurs.
