Project Report | Dec 31, 2024
A year in review

By Lymaris Marrero-Deya | Grant Writing Technician

Dear Esteemed Funders,

As we reflect on the past year at Hogares Teresa Toda, we are pleased to share the remarkable progress we have made in supporting our participants. Our commitment to excellence has led to significant achievements across various domains, and we are excited to highlight these successes.

Academic Excellence
In our pursuit of maintaining academic effectiveness, we set a goal for participants to complete the school year with an average of 80% or higher. We are thrilled to report that our participants achieved an impressive average of 89% in the first quarter, 87% in the second, and 86% in the third quarter. This consistent performance showcases the dedication and hard work of our students and educators.

Health and Well-being
Ensuring the physical health of our participants is a top priority. We aimed for at least eight medical evaluations per quarter, and we exceeded this goal. Over the year, we facilitated a total of 45 medical evaluations with specialists, including cardiologists, neurologists, and more. This not only provided necessary health checks but also emphasized our commitment to holistic care.

Trauma-Informed Care
We recognize the importance of understanding trauma in our work. Our objective was to have four members of our psychosocial team obtain certifications in trauma. We are proud to announce that two psychologists and two social workers successfully completed their certifications in Complex Trauma and Dissociation, along with additional training in Neuroscience. This accomplishment strengthens our team's ability to support our participants effectively.

Special Education Services
Access to special education services is crucial for our residents who need it. We set a goal to ensure 100% of those requiring services were registered and supported, and we are delighted to confirm that all 12 participants who needed assistance received it. This reflects our commitment to meeting individual needs and providing tailored support.

Participant Satisfaction
We place great importance on the feedback from our participants. Our target was to achieve an 80% satisfaction rate, and we are ecstatic to report that 96% of participants expressed satisfaction with the services and experiences at Hogares Teresa Toda. This feedback drives us to continually enhance our offerings.

Stakeholder Engagement
Equally important is the satisfaction of our stakeholders. We achieved a remarkable 100% satisfaction rate among stakeholders, indicating strong support for our programs and services.

Sustainable Funding
In terms of sustainability, we successfully secured recurrent funding from various sources, including Fondos Unidos and the Department of Family. This achievement ensures that we can continue our operations and serve our community effectively.

Technological Enhancements
We are committed to leveraging technology to improve our services. This year, we completed the optimization of our tablets and PCs, ensuring a safe browsing environment for our participants. Additionally, we successfully improved Wi-Fi access in our nursing area, enhancing communication and service delivery.

As we look ahead to the new year, we would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of you. We wish you a year filled with joy, health, and success. We are grateful for your ongoing support and look forward to continuing our partnership as we strive to make an even greater impact in the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for your continued support!
