| <FONT COLOR="#0000a0">Travelers Aid International, through its network of | |
| 45 member agencies and more than 500 cooperating representatives, serves | |
| individuals and families in crisis due to homelessness, mobility or other | |
| disruptive circumstances. In 1996, Travelers Aid International member agencies | |
| assisted more than 2 million people. In-depth services including housing, | |
| transportation assistance and case work were provided to more than 125,000 | |
| individuals.<BR> | |
| <BR> | |
| The first Travelers Aid was founded in 1851 in St. Louis, which makes Travelers | |
| Aid the oldest, non-sectarian social welfare movement in America. While most | |
| Americans know of Travelers Aid through its information and referral booths | |
| in airports or bus stations, Travelers Aid agencies serve those in need in | |
| many ways. Vocational training for international refugees, transitional housing | |
| for homeless families, assistance in securing employment for newcomers to | |
| the community, outreach to homeless teens, aid in securing disability | |
| entitlements and health care for homeless people are all ways in which Travelers | |
| Aid International members work to help people make a transition to more stable, | |
| productive lives. <BR> | |
| <BR> | |
| Crucial to the work of local Travelers Aid agencies is the historic network | |
| of service through which an agency assisting a client requesting help with | |
| travel can ensure that there is proper support for the client in the destination | |
| community. A significant part of the work of Travelers Aid International | |
| is expanding and maintaining this network of agencies. Toward this end, Travelers | |
| Aid International carries on a seventy-eight year old tradition of providing | |
| national leadership and service to local agencies. <BR> | |
| <BR> | |
| In addition, Travelers Aid International works to strengthen its local agencies | |
| through providing training and technical assistance, developing program standards | |
| and disseminating information about funding availability and program development. | |
| Travelers Aid International also provides its local agencies a voice in the | |
| Nation's Capital for advocacy in the development of social policy. Changes | |
| in social policy in recent years makes the work of Travelers Aid even more | |
| important for clients who often fall through the cracks with other social | |
| service agencies.<BR> | |
| <BR> | |
| For nearly 150 years, Travelers Aid agencies in America have provided assistance | |
| to individuals and families who find themselves in crisis with nowhere else | |
| to turn. As the national voice for the Travelers Aid movement, Travelers | |
| Aid International works to ensure that those in need can receive professional | |
| help in making the transition back to a stable life.</FONT><B><BR> | |
