2016 Annual Report
Turning Disability Into Ability
Every Day!
Dear Friends, Thank you for making 2016 yet another remarkable year for Citizens Development Center! This year marked over 65 years of serving individuals with disabilities to achieve their highest level of employment and independence! Our dedicated staff have done an incredible job at expanding our outreach while strengthening our programs and services. We have once again been able to increase the number of adults we served by 15% from 2015! The majority of our growth was from the expansion of our Veteran job placement program called “Operation Employment”. A few highlights include: Programs: · Served 607 adults with disabilities in all our programs. · Placed 116 adults in jobs, of those 77 were veterans. · Launched new VAT-Vocational Adjustment Training to
high school students in transition. Accomplishments & Partnerships: · Held the first TopGolf fundraising event raising $25,000. · Received 41% increase from United Way for our next three year term. · TREC’s Associate Leadership Council installed a master garden in our back area. · Received a National Award-The Audery Nelson Community Development Achievement Award through our partnership with the City of Dallas. · Nominated for CNM Night of Lights Awards in the Nonprofit of the Year category for our veteran’s employment program where we landed in the top three and received $2,500 in training services. · Started an Advisory Council to explore how to help CDC become more self-sustaining. Our ongoing goal is to keep our overhead low while increasing our service in the field, and you truly make this possible! CDC is stronger than ever due to our continually expanding community who come together to donate time, resources, and talent in support of our important mission. The year has not been without challenges as we have seen a decrease in referrals, as the state agencies have been centralizing their services for our Work Center and Employment Programs. The staff and board are vigilant to keep a close eye on upcoming changes. We have been working on a new name and logo for next year that will give us the opportunity to rebrand our mission to all our partners and stakeholders, which will help us raise additional funds and support to offset legislative changes. Please sign up on social media, so you can be one of the first to hear and experience our new name in 2017! Thank you for wholeheartedly being a part of the CDC movement. We are looking forward to much more in 2017!
Sincerely,
Tim Allen

Value to the Community
There is a tremendous need for the services provided by Citizens Development Center.
There are 344,622 individuals with disabilities in Dallas and Collin Counties, and 10% of those
between the ages 16 to 64 have a disability. These statistics are especially relevant as these are the
primary counties and ages served by CDC.
In addition, 27% of Texas Veterans have a disability – a population for whom we have recently
expanded our services.
According to Dallas MetroCare’s CEO, there are over 5,200 Dallas County residents with
developmental disabilities on a service waiting list, and 25% have specifically requested a work
training program such as is provided by CDC.
Served 607 individuals in both programs combined in FY2016; 15% increase over FY2015, 31% increase over FY2014 and 40% increase over FY2013.
Placed 116 individuals in community employment;

Who We Serve
2016 Annual Report Page 3
Citizens Development Center touches lives daily through primarily
three main programs.
DAY HABILITATION —
Day habilitation focuses on personal and social development for
adults with developmental disabilities. Operating within our safe
and structured environment, training and support enhances living
skills, coordination and social activity.
These services pair with Work Center programs to provide
functional and job skills that maximize client self-advocacy with
employment. It also offers respite support and employment time
for family members and caregivers.
WORK CENTER PROGRAM —
The Work Center program provides multiple levels of
vocational training and support, life and job skills training, and
social programming.
Clients receive instruction, guidance and feedback that
prepares them for, and sustains them within, a work setting. They
also get real-time, paid employment in CDC’s 30,000 square foot
warehouse.
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM —
The Employment Program functions as both a training ground and
a supportive job placement agency.
CDC works with the business community to identify job
opportunities appropriate for clients.
Case managers and support staff help clients with interview skills,
application assistance, skills coaching and lifetime follow-up in an
effort to create permanent employment.
