Catholic Charities of St. Louis

Pathways to Progress is an innovative, community-based family strengthening program that provides long-term (two to four years), intensive case management to families living in poverty.  We connect clients to resources to build on their strengths, develop new skills, and address barriers to financial stability. Low caseloads of 10-12 households per case manager allow us to provide the kind of personal, individualized support that transforms lives. The program’s goal is to strengthen our community by creating a pathway for families to increase their ability to live safe, productive and sustainable lives; to educate and empower families to make effective decisions that positively impact their future; and to advocate for systemic and progressive change.

Pathways to Progress began as a pilot program serving several North St. Louis County zip codes.  In 2019, we expanded to serve all of north St. Louis County, and we are growing again in 2020, this time into north St. Louis City!

This exciting initiative is a collaborative project of Catholic Charities of St. Louis and St. Francis Community Services.
