Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

Case Management

Following the ACT model, we have case management teams that provide services to all of the clients assigned to the team. Each client has multiple case managers working with them on a weekly rotation.

Our clients benefit by having multiple direct care staff providing input and strategies to best assist them reach their goals. Our clients have continuity of care when a case manager may be absent due to illness or vacation, as well as moving to a different position and no longer providing case management services. Each team has a Team Leader who coordinates the recovery and treatment plan of each client with the case managers and coordinates with the other community providers the client is utilizing for services.

Psychiatrist

We have agreements with psychiatrists to see clients who are receiving services from True MHS. We do not provide psychiatric services directly through True MHS. Our agreements with psychiatrists enable us to schedule an initial appointment within a few days of intake to our case management services, rather than clients waiting several months for an initial appointment.

This is extremely beneficial for our new clients who begin our services following an inpatient hospital admission. The client can be seen within 7 days after their discharge date for their follow-up psychiatric appointment. Then the client will be scheduled with the psychiatrist for monthly follow-up appointments. If a client has an outpatient psychiatrist that they have a relationship with and want to continue their services, we are still able to provide case management services and the client does not need to change doctors.

To help our clients achieve success, our case managers:

  • Coordinate the transition from the hospital after discharge to the client’s home
  • Teach coping strategies for experienced symptoms
  • Teach awareness of triggers for experienced symptoms
  • Teach coping strategies to address triggers
  • Educate about the benefits of taking medications
  • Assist and educate clients to complete doctor appointments
  • Assist and educate clients to fill prescriptions at pharmacies
  • Substance abuse education and assistance with rehabilitation
  • Teach interpersonal and social skills
  • Help secure safe housing
  • Teach budgeting and money management skills
  • Educate about community resources and how to access them
  • Assist clients access resources for employment
  • Assist clients access resources for education
  • And teach our clients anything else they need for their recovery and success

In addition to case managers meeting directly with clients in the community, we provide 24-hour crisis support to assist our clients after business hours.

Youth often suffer from an absence of positive role models. Youth engage in lessons by the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets to promote important life skills and personal assets. Examples of personal assets include: honesty, integrity, achievement, motivation, school engagement, responsibility, planning and decision-making, sense of purpose, etc.

Asset Building is a program of Good Sam's Youth Development Services (YDS), whose goal is to help young people acquire the life and academic skills necessary for personal success.

YDS exposes youth to new experiences, provides safe spaces to learn, and helps develop a sense of purpose by providing structured, age-appropriate services through five pillars:

  • Support Educational Achievement
  • Encourage Healthy Decisions
  • Explore College and Career Pathways
  • Develop Leaders
  • Engage Families

The primary purpose of the Collegiate 100 program is to provide an avenue for 100 Black Men of San Antonio to continue their one-on-one and group mentoring to students as they matriculate from high school to college, thereby supporting the Mentoring The 100 Way Across a Lifetime initiatives.

Members of the Collegiate 100 campus-based student organization also assist the local 100 Black Men as appropriate, with its programmatic initiatives that support the development of social, emotional, and educational needs of youth who need positive role models in the communities in which they live.

YouthBuild San Antonio is a community-based pre-apprenticeship program that provides job training and educational opportunities.

Youth learn vocational skills in construction, as well as in other in-demand industries, including health care.

Youth also provide community service through the required construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income or homeless families in their own neighborhoods.

Youth split their time between the vocational training work site and the classroom, where they earn their high school diploma, learn to be community leaders, and prepare for post-secondary training opportunities, including college, apprenticeships, and employment.

YouthBuild San Antonio includes significant support systems, such as mentoring, follow-up education, employment, and personal counseling services; additionally, participants participate in community service and civic engagement projects.

At-risk youth ages 16-24 who have previously dropped out of high school.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at King Elementary.

The SBA created the 504 loan program to help entrepreneurs finance commercial real estate and equipment for their businesses. Businesses use these loans to finance fixed asset acquisitions such as:

  • Purchases of existing buildings
  • Land purchases and improvements
  • New facility construction
  • Existing facility modernizations,
    renovations, and conversions
  • Long-term machinery purchases
  • Some furniture and fixtures

Businesses in operation for 2 or more years can also use 504 loans to refinance existing debt that meets the following criteria:

  • A non-federal loan
  • Outstanding for 2 or more years
  • Current on all payments for the last 12 months
  • It was used originally (85% or more) to finance eligible 504 uses (see above)

The graph to the right shows how LiftFund partners with a participating lender (typically a bank) to finance part of the project. Most projects require a 50-40-10 (Bank Loan-SBA/CDC-Owner) split. However, businesses and/or projects considered “special purpose” require an additional 10% from the owner.
