The staff, board, volunteers, and supporters of Project for Pride in Living (PPL) can look back with pride at all that was accomplished in 2011. A new strategic plan, adopted mid-year, set the agency on a course to: Improve the lives of our program participants Expand our impact Optimize the use of resources Promote excellence in how we operate

Last year, PPL stepped into a new role as an authorizer of charter schools under contract with the Minnesota Department of Education. As a result, our long-standing relationship with Partnership Academy continues. And on a selective basis, where we can add real value to the process of educating low-income students, we have begun work with additional charter schools, starting with two located in St. Paul neighborhoods where we are active. 2011 is the penultimate year to PPLs 40th Anniversary, a milestone to celebrate, but certainly no time to rest given challenges facing the people and places we serve. Your support helps PPL create the high-impact work called for by our strategic plan and demonstrated on the pages which follow. Thank youtogether we can continue to create life-changing results for thousands of people.

Youll see evidence in this Annual Report of the influence those strategic directions have had on our work, influence that will grow in the future. Merger-related work also shaped the year. New Foundations, an east side St. Paul nonprofit, became a program of PPL. Planning over the course of the year led to a decision to merge with Cabrini Partnership. Discussions began with Rebuild Resources, another St. Paul-based organization, to join together with PPL Industries and Furnish Office and Home to create a vital social enterprise employment program with reach across the Twin Cities. As a result, PPL is growing, but not for the sake of growth. From a community perspective, important programs like New Foundations, Cabrini Partnership, and Rebuild Resources are preserved and enhanced in these volatile times, to the benefit of those served.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

PPL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income individuals and families develop the tools they need to achieve self-sufficiency through a broad range of programs and services. We believe in empowering participants to be accountable and responsible for their own growth toward self-reliance. This reinforces our mission: PPL works with lower-income individuals and families to achieve greater self-sufficiency through housing, employment training, support services, and education. Since 1972, tens of thousands of people from throughout the Twin Cities metro area have built brighter, more stable futures and stronger communities as a result of PPLs innovative, highly integrated approach. HOUSING STABILITY PPL develops and sustains a wide variety of safe, quality affordable housing for low-income families and individuals through new construction, renovation, and management for ownership and rental. PPL owns and/or manages over 1,000 units of affordable rental housing, bringing peace of mind to people like Yassin. His story is on page 4. FAMILY STABILITY Families and individuals in our housing are offered one-toone services and community building activities onsite that are customized to their needs. These services helped Regina, as told on page 6, make a new direction for herself and her family.

Housing units owned or managed.

ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT Whether getting people started on a career track or helping them take the next step up the career ladder, PPLs employment, job training, and career advancement programs help individuals at every stage increase their opportunities for economic advancement. The computer skills that Anthony learned at PPL helped him get a job and position himself for career advancement. See page 8 for his story. YOUTH ACHIEVEMENT To help break the cycle of poverty, PPL connects students of every age to resources and relationships that will help them succeed from early childhood through high school graduation. From PPL schools to our high quality, afterschool learning activities, youth like Judith, whose story is on page 10, are building a solid foundation for success in school and life. PPL served nearly 14,000 people in 2011, the most in our history. Visit www.ppl-inc.org for more information, or schedule a tour by calling 612.455.5211.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

At 3 a.m., Yassins wife tried to get him to come to sleep, but it was of no use. The family would be forced to vacate their apartment soon due to over occupancy, and the situation was too serious to let him rest. Housing options were scarce for Yassin. Available apartments either werent big enough to allow his family of five to live there, or werent affordable for a family with their limited income. For a period of six months, Yassin spent his nights online researching and applying for local rental housing, only to be rejected time and again. Then came a call from PPL. I remember PPL called to say that our application had been approved, Yassin remembers. It was a gift from God. Yassins family has found a renewed energy since moving into PPL housing. Theyve been healthier, thanks to the higher quality of housing that PPL provides, and more active in the community. Yassins youngest of three has been a

regular at PPLs youth programs and part of a local soccer team. Most profoundly, Yassin credits moving into PPL housing with helping him overcome the scars of his past. Yassin grew up in Ethiopia. During the 1970s, a political revolution brought violence to his country and tragedies to his family. Yassin himself was imprisoned and beaten before he was able to move to the United States. He says that he has finally been able to deal with his long-term post-traumatic stress, due in part to the stability that PPL housing represents for him and his family. Moving in helped me relax, Yassin explains. I had relief in my heart, and in my mind. I felt acceptance for my family, and for myself, when I got that call. Housing is very important, Yassin says. It changes everything.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

The May 2011 tornado that rocked north Minneapolis caused damage to six PPL properties. Staff immediately secured buildings and helped more than 70 residents overcome safety and stability challenges. In addition, Macys donated nine beds for residents and PPL received a grant from Minnesota HelpsNorth Minneapolis Recovery Fund created by The Minneapolis Foundation and the Greater Twin Cities United Way. PPL responded to the foreclosure crisis, turning vacant, multi-unit buildings back into quality rental housing as part of the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program, in collaboration with Minnesota Housing and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Multiple renovations began, and residents moved into the first rehabilitated building in April. Renovations of 10 PPL buildings in the Near North neighborhood of Minneapolis received a Best in Real Estate award from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. The annual awards recognize outstanding real estate development projects that positively impact the Twin Cities area. PPLs project won the Multifamily Development or Redevelopment Affordable category. The Near North renovations made significant modern improvements and restored the original charm of the existing buildings, invigorating the neighborhood in the process.

HOUSING STABILITY

The numbers didnt add up - five kids, one on the way, three suitcases, and zero plans but Regina knew her family needed a fresh start. Shed suffered from abuse, depression, and alcoholism, and summoned the courage to change the direction of her life. I was tired of the life I was living, Regina recalls. I just ran. I didnt know what was going to happen. After a few months in a shelter, the family found their way to PPL housing. The staff and services provided have helped the family gain a stability they didnt have before. Ive never been in a place where people that dont know you care about you, Regina explains. Everyone is so caring and wants us to move forward. Since moving in, Regina has been hard at work achieving her personal goals using PPLs integrated services. She finished her GED at the PPL Learning Center, completed local classes to be a certified nursing assistant, and is currently participating in PPLs pharmacy technician employment training program. Reginas classes have given her opportunities to learn alongside her children.

My oldest daughter is learning fractions, just like I am as a pharmacy technician. My eight-year-old daughter is learning about atoms, which I am learning about too. Its created an open relationship around learning, and its great to learn about things together. While she didnt know what the future held for her then, today Regina sees her familys life heading in a great direction. I see us stable, with me earning enough to get a home of our own one day. My kids are happier than Ive ever seen them. They love to learn, and I see them being successful. I see a bright future, for all of us.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

With bringing strength to strength as our motto, PPL merged with longtime partner New Foundations, a St. Paul-based supportive housing services provider, in April. This merger strengthened resources for 44 families and deepened PPLs capacity to serve long-term homeless families across the Twin Cities. The New Foundations Program Gala in October welcomed over 200 guests and raised nearly $30,000 in program support. Recycling can be a challenge for multiunit buildings, but resident leadership in St. Louis Park made it a goal and achieved it. A July celebration brought residents, city officials, and staff together to usher in recycling onsite and learn other green living tips. PPLs Self-Sufficiency Program began working with families at Collaborative Village, where long-term homeless families are provided with safe, stable housing and a wealth of onsite services. PPL provides direct services that are customized to meet each familys needs, including financial literacy, life skills building, and work readiness, along with academic and enrichment activities for the over 75 children and youth that call Collaborative Village home.

FAMILY STABILITY

No one will work as hard as you do. But if you dont put in the work, this wont work. Not long ago, Anthony wouldve scoffed at the instructors philosophy, but today, with a new attitude and changed perspective, he is putting in the work, reaping the benefits, and sharing the rewards with others. The real work started for Anthony as he was living in a halfway house after his release from prison. He found the PPL Learning Center and devoted himself to improving his job possibilities. Anthony remembers coming in daily to work in the computer lab, improving his typing skills, learning popular computer programs, and creating a resume. New resume in hand, Anthonys work began to pay off. At a job fair, he landed a job with a local teleservices marketing firm, but found it could be much more.

It was a gift to have a job, Anthony realized, but this can be a career. In a short period of time, Anthonys efforts on the job led to increased responsibility, specialized training, and two promotions. Hes become a go-to employee, completing new assignments with his newfound computer skills. I didnt do anything with computers before PPL, he admits. Now Im writing sales scripts in Microsoft Word, and preparing spreadsheets in Excel. While Anthony is enjoying personal success, he is determined to pass along the benefits to others. Hes been visiting PPLs Re-Entry to Work, an employment training class for people with criminal histories, with hopes that his example can motivate others to embrace the philosophy of hard work. When Anthony was given the opportunity to make a donation to a local organization on behalf of his company, he thought of PPL. PPL was a stepping stone for me, Anthony says. I cant donate or volunteer enough. Ill never be able to give back what they gave me.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

PPLs Re-Entry to Work class began in 2011, serving individuals who were determined to overcome their criminal histories and move forward in their lives. Out of 24 individuals, 12 found employment and six have continued their educational goals through college classes, GED, and industry-based trainings such as automotive and construction certification programs. Ramping-up our sector-based training, PPL launched the Pharmacy Technician Certification Training in 2011. Developed in collaboration with Minneapolis Community and Technical College and employer partners, this training offers college credit, readies participants for a career pathway in healthcare, and prepares them for a national certification exam. In its inaugural year, 18 people graduated; we expect to serve 50 individuals in 2012. PPL has a long-standing reputation for providing high-quality services to Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) families through our Connections to Work program. Based on our reputation, Hennepin County expanded their contract with PPL in 2011 to include a new secondary MFIP program, ChangePoints. Last year, ChangePoints provided short-term, intensive case management services to 146 families facing significant barriers to meeting their MFIP goals. PPL hosted White House officials during a tour of the Twin Cities, showing them the impact of the federal stimulus. PPL programs leveraged stimulus funds to create 180 jobs, give job training to over 800 people, and help hundreds more receive needed services. U.S. Department of Labor officials toured PPL Industries to see its recycling services in action. Industries is a business partner in RENEW, a collaborative project between the City of Minneapolis and Ramsey County that builds capacity for environmentallyconscious ventures, and was funded through the federal stimulus.

Judith adores animals. She had been looking forward to the class field trip to the Animal Humane Society for weeks, and the day had finally come. The class began a tour upon arrival, but one girl stayed behind, visibly upset from the teasing of other students. While Judith could have continued on the long-awaited tour, she left to console her classmate. Displaying a compassion and maturity beyond her years, she has quietly led her classmates by example, both in and out of the classroom. A student at Partnership Academy, a PPL-authorized K-5 charter school, Judith is also a participant at PPL Scholars, an afterschool program held on campus that offers students help with their homework and opportunities to increase their academic skills. I like the after-school program, Judith says. It helps me with my homework, and helps me learn how to read and improve my reading. They make things that involve math and reading fun.

At PPL Scholars, Judith has taken ownership in her success in reading, choosing books that interest her and asking for help when she needs it. She is also known to ask tutors to read with her when she feels distracted, giving her the accountability to refocus on her work instead of counting the minutes until the program is over. It has led to improvements in her literacy skills and grown a confidence that has helped her address the challenges that come her way. When she did not pass the state math test the first time she took it, Judith sought out teachers, other school staff, and tutors at Scholars for help. She worked hard in her math class and with additional materials to increase her knowledge. By the end of the school year, Judith was both at grade level for math and passed the state test. Seeing firsthand how hard work pays off, she is ready for the next challenge that awaits hermiddle school.

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

BRIDGEdotMN, a digital literacy project that works with some of PPLs Youth Development Program participants, was launched. The project is a partnership between PPL and social venture group TECHdotMN, and in 2011 it provided 21 participants with computers, mobile broadband, and lessons on safe and productive uses of online time. Said one student: My computer is a gateway for me to travel the world and learn about different people and cultures. Students at MERC Alternative High School, 23 of whom successfully graduated at years end, took part in a Street Law class with first year students at William Mitchell College of Law. The students learned about social justice, democracy, and civil rights, and engaged in a mock trial that retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Edward Toussaint, Jr. presided over. Early Wonders Preschool students and staff were treated to a visit from teaching artists with the Childrens Theatre Company. The artists led the preschoolers in a dramatic play and storytelling workshop, encouraging them to tap into their senses and develop fun, creative ways of learning.
