BISHOP HENDRICKEN HIGH SCHOOL FROM THE PRESIDENT We are honored to be a part of this endeavor, and to showcase the wonderful school that Bishop Hendricken has been for the past 60 years, and continues to be today.

From the first day we opened our doors in September 1959 to this very moment, we have been privileged to send forth thousands of men of intelligence, integrity, and faith into a world that needs their service. They have made a difference in their communities, and continue to change the world, one Hendricken man at a time.

God Bless!

O

ver 60 years ago, a priest with a vision, His Excellency, the late Bishop Russell J.

McVinney, visited the Morris family home in Warwick, Rhode Island to share his desire to build an all-boys Catholic high school on their farm property. Mr. and Mrs. Morris knelt in their living room to receive Bishop McVinney, and without hesitation, gave him permission to take whatever property of theirs he needed.

In 1959, Bishop McVinney’s dream came to fruition when Bishop Hendricken High School opened its doors on 34 acres of the Morris’ farmland to some 350 students. In the sixty years that have passed, Bishop Hendricken has educated nearly 12,000 young men who have gone on to make a difference in all facets of life.

Since opening its doors, Bishop Hendricken’s mission has been to bring each member of its community into a closer relationship with God through the development of the total person – heart, mind, body, and soul. At Bishop Hendricken, education is rooted in personal growth and challenge in all areas of the student experience, including academics, arts, athletics, ministry, service, leadership, and extracurricular activities.

As a leader in Catholic education, Bishop

Hendricken is proud to be a pioneer in academic offerings. To date, the school offers an honors-level Arts Academy program for student artists to deeply study their craft; a comprehensive Leadership Academy with emphases on character and organizational leadership development; the Cisco Networking Academy in which students receive Cisco certifications in IT and engineering specialties; and the Br. Thomas Leto Options Program which affords students with intellectual and developmental disabilities a Hendricken education.

As a college preparatory school, Bishop Hendricken offers a highly competitive educational experience of which colleges take notice.

To date, Bishop Hendricken has been home to 500+ National Merit & Commended Scholars, including 4 Semifinalists this year. In 2019, graduates earned acceptances from 198 different colleges and universities across the country, and were awarded $32 million in college grants and scholarships.

Continuing its tradition of educational innovation, Bishop Hendricken will launch INSPIRE in fall 2020, a dynamic new program aimed at student academic and career exploration. INSPIRE introduces a new element to the Hendricken curriculum, dedicating one day of the school week to elective-based coursework in seminars

CROSSROADS RHODE ISLAND 

LEGACY 

125 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Crossroads Rhode Island, the leading provider of housing and services to the homeless in Rhode Island, is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2019. Founded as Travelers Aid in 1894, the organization’s original mission was to protect women and girls traveling to Providence.

Through the decades, the agency’s mission evolved to meet the changing needs of the community. With World War II, the mission expanded to assist military service members, veterans, and immigrants leading the agency to place Travelers Aid booths in train and bus stations.

As transportation transformed with automobiles and the recession of the 1970s hit, the organization shifted its focus once again to help those individuals and families in need of a place to call home.

In the 1980s, sparked by a deep recession, lack of affordable housing and drastic cutbacks in Federal housing funds, homelessness hit crisis levels in Rhode Island – and the modern era of homelessness began.

In response, Travelers Aid rapidly evolved to provide comprehensive, 24/7 services. In 1994, the agency acquired its first housing, turning former Navy housing in North Kingstown into 58 transitional housing units for families.

To better reflect the growing needs of the homeless population, and its expansion into housing, the agency rebranded as Crossroads Rhode Island in 2004 and moved into its current headquarters at 160 Broad Street in Providence, taking over ownership and management of 192 permanent supportive housing units with the building.

Building on that momentum, in a sweeping philosophical shift, Crossroads adopted a housing-first approach in 2014.

Unlike traditional shelter models, housingfirst moves those with the greatest needs out of shelter and into housing as soon as possible. Once stabilized in housing, Crossroads provides the services and support necessary to help individuals and families achieve selfsufficiency.

Today, Crossroads is the leading provider of housing and services to the homeless in Rhode Island, and is governed by a 40-member volunteer Board of Directors with representation from the business, finance, health care, education, media and government sectors.

At Crossroads, helping at-risk individuals and families secure stable housing is our passion, not just our mission. ◆ We own or manage 370 residences statewide. ◆ We provide housing-related services to more than 3,500 people each year, including nearly 1,000 women and 750 children. ◆ In 2018, approximately 2,000 were provided with emergency shelter. ◆ About 1,000 either maintained or moved into permanent housing. ◆ More than 430 participated in adult education and employment programs, including a Certified Nursing Assistant program that graduated 85 students last year and helped them get and keep good jobs with local healthcare providers.

In addition to housing, Crossroads offers a range of services including basic needs, shelter, case management, referrals, education and employment services and a Domestic Violence Program. Crossroads is the only homeless services agency open 24 hours-a-day, seven days a week.

On our 125th anniversary, we are more committed than ever to do our part to expand access to affordable housing to Rhode Islanders experiencing homelessness. Of course, our work would not be possible without our generous donor and community partners. Thank you to all who continue to support Crossroads and our mission. Here’s to you and 125 years of giving back to those in need.

COMPANY INFORMATION Crossroads Rhode Island is the leading provider of housing and services to the homeless in Rhode Island. Their mission is to help homeless or at-risk individuals and families secure stable homes. Those they serve achieve this by engaging in a range of services including housing, basic needs, shelter, case management, referrals and education and employment services.

O

riginally established by the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1989 as the Clean Water Finance Agency, the Infrastructure Bank’s mission was significantly expanded in 2015 to include energy,

brownfield remediation and climate resiliency initiatives. The Infrastructure Bank’s expanded mandate has significantly enhanced its ability to provide competitive financing to a broad variety of infrastructure-based projects.

HOW WE WORK Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank is Rhode Island’s central hub for financing infrastructure improvements for municipalities, businesses, and homeowners. We leverage capital in a revolving fund to offer innovative financing for an array of infrastructurebased projects including water and wastewater, road and bridge, energy efficiency, brownfield remediation and climate resiliency. These quality of life projects improve the State’s infrastructure, create jobs, promote economic development and enhance the environment.

Jeffrey R. Diehl Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer

STEP 1 • Generally, we partner with communities and a state agency to identify viable infrastructure projects • The state agency determines project eligibility, while the Bank determines financing structure STEP 2 • The Bank and its partner agency work collaboratively with borrowers to prepare project applications STEP 3 • Project applications are submitted to the partner

agency, which ranks all applications using a scoring criteria to produce a Project Priority List (PPL) STEP 4 • The Bank will strategize with prospective borrowers to determine the most efficient way to finance the project STEP 5 • The Bank makes periodic disbursements as the project proceeds in conjunction with site reviews conducted by our partner agency • Loans are repaid over time and the recycled funds are used to make additional loans

PROGRAMS BROWNFIELDS REVOLVING LOAN FUND The Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund provides financing for the remediation of contaminated brownfield sites to return these sites to productive use.

CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND The Clean Water State Revolving Fund is a program through which local governmental units, quasi-public agencies and private entities can access affordable, long-term financing for the completion of wastewater, stormwater and other water pollution abatement projects.

US Extruders, a manufacturer of screws and extruders located in Westerly, financed the installation of a 210.4 kW rooftop solar installation using the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY The Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program provides 100% long-term fixed rate financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to commercial and industrial buildings.

30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY Officials break ground to mark the construction of Warren’s Wastewater Treatment Facility, a project financed through the Bank’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund.

DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is a financing program through which RIIB makes low-interest loans to community public water systems, non-profit noncommunity public water systems, privatelyorganized water suppliers and local governmental units to complete drinking water infrastructure projects.

EFFICIENT BUILDINGS FUND The Efficient Buildings Fund makes lowinterest, long-term financing available to municipalities and quasi-public agencies for the completion of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.

FACILITY PLAN LOAN PROGRAM The Facility Plan Loan Program provides financing to local governmental units for the completion of water pollution abatement project facility plans, and amendments to such plans.

MUNICIPAL RESILIENCE PROGRAM The Municipal Resilience Program (MRP) provides direct support to Rhode Island cities and towns to deploy a planning process which identifies the local climate change vulnerabilities and community strengths.

Upon successful completion of the planning process, municipalities will be designated as a “Resilient Rhody Municipality” which enables the cities and towns to apply for dedicated action grants to implement priority projects, which address the vulnerabilities uncovered through the initial phase.

RHODE ISLAND WATER POLLUTION CONTROL REVOLVING FUND The Rhode Island Water Pollution Control

MUNICIPAL ROAD AND BRIDGE REVOLVING FUND The Municipal Road and Bridge Revolving Fund is a program through which local governmental units can access below market, long-term financing for transportation infrastructure projects.

COMPANY INFORMATION Our mission is to actively support and finance investments in Rhode Island’s infrastructure. The Infrastructure Bank does so through a variety of means, including the issuance of bonds, originating loans and grant making. Through its activities, the Bank fosters infrastructure improvements that create jobs, promote economic development and enhance the environment.

Revolving Fund provides financing for projects that reduce water pollution and may not meet the eligibility requirements of federal programs, such as the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.

SEWER TIE-IN LOAN FUND The Sewer Tie-In Loan Fund provides interest free financing to homeowners wishing to connect their residence to a local sewer system and to properly abandon an existing septic system.

STORMWATER PROJECT ACCELERATOR The Stormwater Project Accelerator provides upfront capital for green stormwater infrastructure projects that will eventually be funded through state and local reimbursement grants.
