ANNUAL REPORT

Programs and Services Advocacy Services Advocates build relationships with homeless families and connect them to resources for housing, medical, financial, and legal assistance and other community resources needed to return to self-sufficiency. They meet with guests during orientation and in follow up meetings to help guests track their progress toward self-sufficiency.

Dream it, Design it, Do it (D3) D3 encourages teens to design project-based enrichment activities that incorporate technology, foster leadership and critical-thinking skills and engage their community. PSP’s approach to youth development is supported by our partnership with The Pearson Foundation’s New Learning Institute which developed the D3 model. D3 increases the likelihood that students will understand the goals of an activity, learn new educational concepts and recognize how those concepts are relevant to their future success.
