Examples of Funded Projects: The Iwo San residential program for women and their children is part of the mother organization, the East Side Catholic Shelter, Inc., a nonprofit, inner-city agency located in Cleveland, Ohio which provides food and shelter to homeless women and their children. Operational since October 1993, the six month residential and 18 month continuing care programs of the Iwo San project provides an Afrocentric model of comprehensive services for 12 substance abusing women and up to 20 children at any given time. The target population is inner-city African American parenting women whose drug of choice is crack cocaine. The treatment for women focuses on rehabilitation from the disease of chemical dependency and places heavy emphasis on community reintegration and self-sufficiency. The program provides comprehensive assessments and individualized services such as substance abuse and vocational education; groups dealing with domestic violence and sexual abuse; medical and nutritional services; and parenting and life-management skills. The treatment program for children provides thorough developmental, physical and emotional assessments. Treatment is age-specific, culturally relevant and involves participation of the mothers. The Iwo San program strength is its continuing care program grounded in the philosophy that solid, comprehensive continuing care is proactive relapse prevention at its best. The unit of treatment is the family and/or significant others with a major focus on family reunification and preservation.
