This is accomplished through identifying individuals trafficked and offering counseling, case management, housing, and economic empowerment services. We measure impact to improve our services and share our learnings through targeted trainings to front-line professionals who have the opportunity to identify more survivors of trafficking. false false 3004721 In December the Department of State released a report titled Trauma-informed Considerations for Anti-Trafficking Efforts in the COVID 19 Environment. Restore is mentioned at least a half dozen times in the acknowledgements, referencing the Road to Recovery Report.In FY22, Restore served 454 survivors or those at risk. 273 clients were served in our core services and there were over 9,027 points of contact with survivors.Client ServicesIn FY22, Restore received 362 referrals in total and among which 258 were eligible for our services. Restore served 222 clients in our Client Services program, among which 220 clients under case management and 16 clients under clinical counseling. In addition, we served 208 clients with short-term resource coordination. Client Services launched a new 12-week stabilization curriculum under the clinical counseling service. The curriculum helps to identify the current coping skills of the clients and provide psycho-education around trauma and trauma impacts, as well as building new healthy coping skills. The clients meet with their therapist once a week for 50-minute as a session and are given a copy of the curriculum so they are well informed about the session ahead of time and what to expect next. HousingIn 2022, Restore served 78 clients in our Housing program. Twenty-four percent of new clients to Restore reported being homeless which dropped to five percent for those who engaged in Restores services. Our rapid re-housing and flexible-funding service was delivered to 42 survivors and 13 child family members to secure safe, stable, and independent living. Restore served 13 survivors in our transitional home and provided emergency housing via Restore-specific hotel partnerships for 17 survivors. Fifteen clients were assisted with Emergency Housing Vouchers through HUD. Restores leadership in housing includes co-chairing the shelter subcommittee on the Brooklyn Human Trafficking Task Force (BKHTTF) alongside Safe Horizon, Brooklyn DAs Office, and the FBI New York Office. Restore was a part of the Domestic Violence sub-committee as part of New York City Continuum of Care (COC). The COC oversees all HUD funding for New York City.After nearly 10 years, Restores Transitional Home moved from Queens to Brooklyn on May 28, 2022. It took about 5 years of searching to find a suitable home to house survivors of human trafficking. This search included finding an ADA accessible home that will allow us to provide transitional living to survivors exiting a trafficking situation that may present with a physical disability. The home is also now located in a more culturally diverse neighborhood close to central transportation.The move was successful, and the survivors and housing staff have settled into the new location. In May 2022, Restore was selected to co-host a housing summit in NYC alongside Freedom Network USA to discuss housing needs for survivors of trafficking, better define the landscape of available resources, and streamline access across the various organizations. Fifteen non-government organizations and two government agencies were present. We also had a reconvening meeting of the same agencies in October 2022 where we talked about best trauma-informed practices for survivors while seeking or entering shelter. Our housing work has also been featured in publications such as The American Journal of Evaluation: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10982140211056913.Economic EmpowermentIn 2022, Restore served 146 survivors in our Economic Empowerment program, and we focused on implementing a revised program strategy, business partner re-acquisition, and job placement, given the social enterprises dissolution last year. As a result of the dissolution, job placement rates were lower. However, in 2022, 30 survivors were employed again, and Restore acquired 29 new business partners, bringing our total number of business partners to 42. The EE Programs new strategy resulted in new services and opportunities for survivors and increased focus on individual entrepreneurship and career development. In addition to career development and entrepreneurship services, the Program began offering an Economic Empowerment Orientation and Intake, which includes a comprehensive assessment of clients skills, personal stability, and support services so that staff can address barriers to income generation earlier in the process. In August 2022, we implemented our first 10-week Entrepreneurship Training class with a Restore-created curriculum. The curriculum introduces entrepreneurship as an option to generate income, helps participants develop an entrepreneurial mindset, and focuses on developing entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The latter part of the curriculum focuses on writing a business plan, market research, setting financial goals, and other business concept topics. In November 2022, eight survivors completed the first cohort and enrolled in the Entrepreneurship Incubation service afterward to receive mentorship, entrepreneurship venture grants, and pro-bono support to help them launch businesses successfully. Their business ideas cover multiple industries, including food, clothing, arts & craft, social services, jewelry, and cosmetics. Restore also partnered with the Writers Guild Initiative (WGI) to host a 2-part creative writing workshop for survivors.WGIs mission is to make the art of storytelling accessible to people of all ethnic, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Our Program also prioritized partnering with businesses and organizations that could provide more restorative job opportunities for clients. For example, we established a vocational training partnership with SoHarlem; a social enterprise offering paid training opportunities in the creative arts industry. We also collaborated with the Horticultural Society of New York, a nonprofit whose mission is to improve human life through horticulture. Through this partnership, clients applied for their 12-month fellowship program that prepares individuals to enter the green career workforce through paid training. ImpactIn January 2022 Restore released its annual impact report to the anti-trafficking field, Path to Freedom, where twelve of the leading non-profit organizations in the country outlined a set of best practices for programs that seek to promote entrepreneurship for survivors of trafficking and individuals with intersecting vulnerabilities. Restore also hosted a webinar with five of the experts featured in the report to discuss their recommendations. The live webinar session had 54 attendees, ranging from federal and state government representatives, to high-level donors, and nonprofit service providers across the country.Restore continued to assess organizational impact in two ways: using the Freedom Index (FI) framework which measures participants progress toward freedom in five domains while they are enrolled at Restore (housing stability, job security, living wages, mental well-being, and perception of safety), and executing a quarterly client satisfaction survey (CSS). In 2022, 93% of participants experienced improvement in their overall FI scores from intake at Restore to the 12-month mark, and 63% experienced improvement in their overall FI scores from the 12- to the 24-month mark. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Restore obtained a 4.0+ scores in five of its seven overall CSS questions (scores range from 1=extremely dissatisfied to 5=extremely satisfied). CSS scores were also analyzed for significant score differences among Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) subgroups to ensure equity in service provision. 3004721 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 47 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 10 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false NY X Vanessa Holliday 2128408484 PO Box 1003 Bowling Green Station New York NY 10274 Elizabeth Kim thru 1221 COO 40.00 0.00 X 94779 0 11359 Rebekah Sullivan CPO 40.00 0.00 X 89955 0 11102 Vanessa Holliday CFO/CAO 40.00 0.00 X 96900 0 3907 F Huckel Motter thru 222 Interim ED 2.00 0.00 X X 81968 0 10106 Ida Mutoigo beginning 222 President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Hung Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Allen Trew Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Welch Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Ann Dunn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Haejin Shim-Fujimura Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dorthe Tate Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Esposito Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 April Tam Smith Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Corinne Spurrier Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Scogin Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edward Sirya beginning 522 COO 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 363602 36474 0 false false false 0 328037 1269626 2654119 13214 4251782 0 1603 1603 0 0 0 0 137537 328037 137537 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 40 40 40 4253425 1643 0 0 0 0 611602 260063 237819 113720 0 1944138 1372080 296086 275972 41039 26206 8576 6257 206053 131576 43061 31416 232947 148750 48682 35515 0 11615 11615 71237 71237 0 0 0 345081 83349 172168 89564 2725 2725 46164 11429 34250 485 45423 4412 40946 65 0 287989 227594 37371 23024 3000 1650 1196 154 0 30794 2246 28407 141 0 0 0 14649 9176 3196 2277 Direct assistance to clients 687372 687372 Special events and fundraising 65720 65720 Other expenses 52184 24699 20823 6662 Bad Debt 48816 48816 58867 14119 3030 41718 4807415 3004721 1107279 695415 3129794 2809435 0 722198 401988 0 0 0 0 0 56066 68514 52479 52479 0 341668 280872 0 0 0 24465 24165 4274191 3584974 248377 50618 95726 117430 344103 168048 X 3627297 3343744 302791 73182 3930088 3416926 4274191 3584974 X -553990 -74732 115560 X false true X true true true X 2104453 3948240 5207770 5156170 4251782 20668415 0 0 2104453 3948240 5207770 5156170 4251782 20668415 1191974 19476441 3593 4385 1610 1884 1603 13075 0 3730 3965 3089 5881 40 16705 20698195 0.94100 0.96560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 52479 52479 X 4294253 -74732 115560 40828 4253425 4253425 4807415 4807415 4807415 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
