PZ2023A45 Printed On: 10/27/2023 Hk7Pe HOPE WomsmsRESOURCE CLINIC To Whom It May Concern: Our clients receiving medical services are primarily ofnoorlow income. They are encouraged to enroll In The Hope Acaderny program which offers group and online classes designed to educate and empower the clients in positive relationships, parenting skills, and life skills. Through the Hope Academy, clients earn points through class attendance, maintaining employment, attending high school orcollege, completing prenatal doctor visits, taking baby to well -check visits, and much more. All of the points earned are spent in the Blessings Boutique, which is a store for clients where they can "purchase" diapers, wipes, cribs, car seats, strollers, clothing, and anything else for baby's needs until the baby's first birthday. The combination of education and rewards is essential in building positive reinforcement through the early stages of parenthood and a child's life. The benefits of the program not only provide material assistance toclients but also build acommunity within itself. Most clients donot know each other when they begin the program. However, throughout the in -person classes, friendships are formed and support systems are put in place making in -person attendance vital to the program. The operations of the Clinic have outgrown the current facility. Thi5became even more evident over thepast yea r.The tote|numberofenroled audactive c|ien1s|nHope Academydoub|edoverthe past year. Additionally, clients completed 6 times as many online classes as the previous year. In -person shopping days not only increased in frequency but also in attendance,, with more than four times as many clients attending in a Boutique that is, approximately 327 square feet. The space inside the main facility is limited and therefore we have endured the need to move the entire class, boutique, and limited childcare services to a larger, more easily accessible building that will also provide extended hours. Expansion of services can only happen with an exterior building for activities related to the Hope Academy (classes, Boutique, and childcare). This new parenting center will allow us to have classes and shopping 4days oweek. The open hours will be10am'2pmMonday'Thusday. This expansion will allow us to offer more services to smaller groups at a time.
