Building the Foundation in 2010

MissionDepaul USA’s mission is to offer homeless and disadvantaged people the opportunity to fulfill their potential and move towards an independent and pos-itive future. Everyone should have a place to call home and a stake in their community.

HistoryDepaul USA incorporated as an independent 501 (c)(3) in May 2008, and operates“Depaul House,” a 27-room transitional housing program for men experiencinghomelessness ages 20 - 65. Depaul USA is part of Depaul International, a groupof charities fashioning a global response to homelessness. Depaul Internationalwas formed in 1989 as a response to the growing number of young people sleep-ing on the streets of London. Depaul International charities now work with over7,000 homeless and disadvantaged people in five countries providing supportiveservices, employment training, and basic needs. The work at Depaul USA isgrounded in the mission, vision and values of Depaul International and the livesof St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac.

D E PAUL USA 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends,

It has been an exciting year of growth for Depaul USA. In September 2010, ChuckLevesque became Depaul USA's new Executive Director. Three days into his newposition, Chuck, Mark McGreevy, Group Chief Executive of Depaul International,and I embarked on a tour of the United States to connect with other membersof the Vincentian Family. The purpose of the trip was to provide an awarenessof Depaul USA's mission and values and to uncover possible ways to collaboratein serving those who are experiencing homelessness.

Upon our return to Philadelphia, we began planning for expansion that will allowDepaul USA to reach many more people. Within five years, Depaul USA plans tobe in five U.S. cities. Projects are currently being implemented in Macon,Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana, and we are planning an additional projectin Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We know that only with the continued support of committed donors, volunteersand constituents can Depaul USA make this vision a reality. Together we canbuild a strong foundation for the future. Together we can make a difference andoffer hope to countless people who depend on Depaul USA.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Administration and Staff, please accept ourheartfelt appreciation.

Dear Friends,

This Annual Report provides an update on the work that our team has accom-plished in 2010 and how we are building the foundation for our future. I wantto thank you for your support, which has been essential for our progress andgrowth.

I am continually impressed with our staff and residents. Working together, staffand residents achieve great outcomes. Most strikingly, in 2010 80 percent of ourgraduates accessed employment and their own housing within a year of arrivingat Depaul House.

Our inspiration comes from St. Vincent de Paul, a major social reformer in 17thcentury France who believed in action rather than words and in seeking out whathe referred to as the “poorest of the poor.” Depaul USA is driven by these val-ues to serve our most vulnerable populations.

Our projects are growing and they truly make a difference in the lives of ourclients. We have ambitious plans for 2011. We plan to expand our board,improve existing programs and create new program opportunities inPhiladelphia, Macon, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana.

I am very grateful for your assistance. We would not be where we are todaywithout your help. I hope we can rely on your continued support. I will keep youposted on our progress while on this exciting journey.

Charles W. Levesque

Executive Director
