Section 3 Grady Revitalization Master Plan MTW status has resulting in AHA having significant financial, legal, and regulatory flexibility. But it also obligated the organization to make measurable progress towards achieving the specific goals of its MTW Plan, which it referred to as the CATALYST Plan. The CATALYST Plan established dozens of activities and initiatives that AHA used to help achieve its goals. To achieve the goals of CATALYST, AHA invested in resources to assist households by providing human development opportunities through community-based service providers. The goal was to enhance the economic independence of families, educate children more effectively, and assist in building greater self-sufficiency among seniors and persons with disabilities. It also implemented a Human Development and Support Services Programs that provided a family counselor to each household for 27 months following the relocation. The family support specialist was responsible for working with the family to help remove barriers that impede success and to make sure the family is connected to a network of services, counselors, educational and training programs, and to provide them services that would improve their work and social skills and quality of life. The Community and Supportive Services (CSS) program had four components: Ongoing Life Counseling and Coaching, Individual Family Support, a Connection to Quality Programs and Resources; and the Promotion of Personal Responsibility. Along with providing support services, AHA raised the requirements and expectations of residents. In October of 2004, AHA began implementing of the CATALYST Work/Program Policy. The program was designed to reinforce among adults the importance and necessity of working to achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. Finally, The Quality of Life Initiatives (QLI) was implemented by AHA to demolish public housing projects and to relocate families who lived in 12 AHA-owned public housing developments that had not been revitalized. These developments included 10 public housing family developments and 2 public housing senior developments. Together, these properties housed 3,920 households in 2004. The developments were scheduled to be demolished and every family who lived there had to be resettled. Coaching and counseling services were provided to families for a period of for 27 months following their initial relocation. 31 | P a g e
