2007 Highlights
 
Dear Friends,
 
Despite tough economic times, GBAPP continued to provide a number of essential services in our community. Here are the highlights from 2007:
 
  • GBAPP continues to offer Orasure and Oraquick methods of HIV testing for youth in greater Bridgeport.
  • The actual number of teen births declined in Bridgeport from 544 in 1990 to 306 in 2004.  GBAPP’s teen pregnancy prevention and HIV programs were expanded in 2007.
  • GBAPP held its 2nd annual City Kidz Got Skillz Showcase. Over 150 kids, 18 and under, were in the spotlight.  GBAPP also participated in the National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month on May 2, 2007. Hundreds of Bridgeport youth participated in the campaign.
  • GBAPP expanded its Teen Fathers Program, a program to assist teen fathers with comprehensive services.
  • GBAPP continues to lead a variety of multi-agency task forces including the Collaborative on Teen Pregnancy Prevention, The Bridgeport Primary Care Continuum,  Partnership on Teen Pregnancy Prevention, and the MI CASA/My Home Advisory Committee.
  • GBAPP received a grant by DCF to develop transitional housing for a total of 12 residents parenting and non-parenting girls ages 16-21 in Bridgeport. Eight (8) beds were available in 2007 for young girls and their children without housing and supportive services.
  • GBAPP continues, as a partner with “The Balm In Gilead,” to work with faith-based initiatives in the Greater Bridgeport region on teen pregnancy and HIV prevention issues among African-American youth and families.

We would like to extend our appreciation to the many agencies in Bridgeport that work closely with us to provide services to the community. We are also very grateful for the opportunity to play a leading role in many of the city’s health-related collaborations and to offer our expertise in the area of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease prevention, HIV testing and case management.

Sincerely,

Robyn Oliver, Chairman of the Board
Rudy Feudo, Ph.D., Executive Director
