About Portfolio's Cafe!
 
  During the latter part of the 1970's, Catholic Charities established the first mental health housing program in Broome County and assumed sponsorship of the CORE Service Agency, designed to monitor, evaluate and develop community support services. From this, a proposal to establish a Cafe as a special employment program for young adults was approved and funded by the NYS Office of Mental Health.
 
  Portfolio's Cafe opened in March 1987 and has since employed over 200 individuals, many of whom have established a successful work history for the first time and/or have gone on to successful competitive employment.
 
  Catholic Charities takes great pride in the current and past employees who have participated in the program under the guidance of the Cafe Manager and Supervisors. Their work represents another step forward in building a comprehensive community mental health program.
