KNOWN TODAY AS THE FAMILY CHILDCARE NETWORK (FCC). THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES TECHNICAL SUPPORT, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, AND SUPPORT TO WOMEN TO HELP THEM ESTABLISH HOME-BASED DAYCARES THAT FOCUS ON QUALITY CARE AND EDUCATION. MANY OF OUR PROVIDERS ARE MULTI-LINGUAL AND PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED BILINGUAL/BICULTURAL CHILDCARE TO IMMIGRANT AND NON-IMMIGRANT FAMILIES ALIKE. FCC PROVIDERS ARE LICENSED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE. WE OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGE LEVEL CHILD DEVELOPMENT COURSES AND A RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ON AN ONGOING BASIS. THESE INCLUDE TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE, SAFETY, CHILD DEVELOPMENT. 1345290 59242 HOUSING: THE ORIGINAL MISSION OF PROJECT HOPE'S HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT WAS TO FIND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR FAMILIES LIVING IN OUR FAMILY SHELTER. WHILE WE CONTINUE THAT WORK TODAY, OUR SERVICES HAVE EXPANDED TO SUPPORT FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOUSING INSTABILITY THROUGH EVICTION PREVENTION AND HOUSING SEARCH/PLACEMENT. OUR TEAM PROVIDES HOUSING COUNSELING, EVICTION PREVENTION, LANDLORD NEGOTIATION, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, BUDGETING ADVICE, AND EMERGENCY RENTAL FUNDS. WE ALSO HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM WHO WORK AT TWO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSITIONAL ASSISTANCE OFFICES AND MEET WITH HOMELESS OR AT-RISK FAMILIES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ALTERNATIVES TO SHELTER. 571599 0 ADULT EDUCATION AND EMPLOYER PARTNERS: IN 1990, PROJECT HOPE ESTABLISHED THE ADULT EDUCATION SERVICES PROGRAM TO MEET THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME AND HOMELESS WOMEN. IN 1996, THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WAS FOUNDED TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY SINGLE MOTHERS, GAIN WORKFORCE SKILLS AND ACCESS CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. AFTER OFFERING THESE TWO SERVICES AS STANDALONE PROGRAMS, WE COMBINED THEM INTO THE WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN 2019 TO BETTER SERVE OUR FAMILIES. THIS ENSURES THAT NO MATTER THEIR ENTRY POINT INTO PROJECT HOPE, ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BENEFITS FROM A CAREER PATHWAY FOCUS THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO DEVELOP THE EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT NECESSARY TO OBTAIN, RETAIN, AND IMPROVE EMPLOYMENT. WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION OFFER LOW-INCOME WOMEN, PRIMARILY FROM ROXBURY AND NORTH DORCHESTER, BASIC EDUCATION, AND ENGLISH LEARNING CLASSES, AS WELL AS A RANGE OF JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYEMENT SKILLS, CAREER EXPLORATION, AND EXPERTISE SPECIFIC TO ADMINISTRATIVE JOBS IN HEALTHCARE. WE LEVERAGE EMPLOYER PARTNERSHIPS TO HELP EVERY PROGRAM GRADUATE SECURE A JOB OR INTERNSHIP AND WE PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THEIR FIRST YEAR OF EMPLOYMENT. SHELTER: PROJECT HOPE'S FAMILY SHELTER, FOUNDED IN 1981, WAS ONE OF THE FIRST EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTERS FOR FAMILIES IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS AND CONTINUES TO ADDRESS THE URGENT NEED FOR EMERGENCY TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE OFFER A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR 11 WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN AT A TIME. THE FAMILIES WE PARTNER WITH FACE A NUMBER OF BARRIERS TO HOUSING STABILITY, INCLUDING LONG WAIT LISTS FOR PUBLIC HOUSING, FEWER SUBSIDIES FOR MARKET RATE HOUSING, RISING RENTS, RISING COSTS FOR HEAT, FOOD INSTABILITY, LACK OF ACCESS TO QUALITY CHILDCARE, AND FEW SLOTS IN JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS. EACH FAMILY WE SERVE HAS A PRIVATE ROOM AND ACCESS TO A COMMUNAL KITCHEN, DINING ROOM, LIVING ROOM AND CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY PLAYROOM. THE SHELTER STABILIZES FAMILIES THROUGH CASE MANAGEMENT AND HOUSING SEARCH TO ASSIST THEM IN FINDING SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. FAMILIES ARE ALSO CONNECTED TO PROJECT HOPE'S WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. THE SHELTER IS A MODEL FOR A RESPECTFUL AND EMPOWERING APPROACH THAT PRIORITIZES HELPING WOMEN GAIN CONFIDENCE AND PREVAIL AGAINST TREMENDOUS ODDS. 1624501 0 OTHER PROGRAMS 1624501 0 5108801 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 100 0 1 77 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X VONNESSA GOODE-KNIGHT 6174421880 550 DUDLEY STREET ROXBURY MA 02119 MAUREEN POMPEO PRESIDENT & CHAIR 6.00 X X 0 0 0 RUTH CAREY VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY JO BANE VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JANINE SALYARDS TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELE BOTUS CLERK 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD F BURNS MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHERYL CLARK MD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRETT GORDON MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA HAIG FRIEDMAN MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARVIN LOISSEAU MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN K MARKEY MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 NAKIRA MINOT MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ADELENE PERKINS MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT SHANLEY MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE SPEIDEL MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MAUREEN WALKER MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL WEST MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL ANN MCAULIFFE CFO 40.00 X 133179 0 17298 MARIE ST FLEUR INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 109450 0 0 VONNESSA GOODE-KNIGHT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 33558 0 3024 NATASHA WRIGHT DIRECTOR OF HOUSING SERVICES 40.00 X 112728 0 0 388915 0 20322 3 0 1 0 0 3787578 2593715 62959 6381293 CONTRACTS - BUSINESS F 611710 59242 59242 59242 21889 21889 73272 0 73272 73272 73272 6535696 59242 0 95161 282140 213443 42735 25962 2234752 1690623 338493 205636 377539 285613 57186 34740 242061 183123 36664 22274 8494 8494 81031 81031 252654 84464 109019 59171 194418 110504 63378 20536 108377 78317 20930 9130 312209 269879 41483 847 14453 13073 1260 120 382161 374469 7692 PROVIDER FEES 1379594 1379594 HOUSING FUNDS 114949 114949 FOOD EXPENSE 103573 90350 9631 3592 CLIENT EXPENSE 83769 79398 4349 22 241783 141002 72252 28529 6413957 5108801 894597 410559 484530 418543 784 1181899 3080586 0 153472 126629 7949038 2222374 5273515 5726664 707750 857638 0 115553 9700637 8426926 2085861 546860 0 115553 2085861 662413 X 6079064 7286021 1535712 478492 7614776 7764513 9700637 8426926 121739 27998 0 X 0 0 0 X 5146486 5323503 10077424 15235872 6381293 42164578 5146486 5323503 10077424 15235872 6381293 42164578 42164578 94445 69046 66760 66974 95161 392386 72271 33613 15976 21104 142964 42699928 738068 0.98750 0.98740 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 168000 168000 168000 168000 168000 168000 168000 168000 168000 168000 1.00000 0 0 69848 69848 5549621 1797984 3751637 2001748 258568 1743180 9094 4518 4576 318727 161304 157423 5726664 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 115553 115553 PART V, LINE 4: PROJECT HOPE'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF A DONOR RESTRICTED FUND ESTABLISHED TO FUND GENERAL OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
