THE ORIGINAL 990 WAS DUE AND FILED BY JUNE 15, 2021, BEFORE THE AUDIT HAD BEEN ISSUED. IN THE COURSE OF THE AUDIT, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT RECEIPT OF FUNDS FROM MULTI YEAR GRANTS HAD BEEN RECORDED IN THE YEAR FUNDS WERE RECEIVED, NOT THE YEAR THE ENTIRE GRANT WAS MADE. MOST OF THESE ADJUSTMENTS HAD BEEN MADE BEFORE THE ORIGINAL 990 WAS FILED. HOWEVER, 507,688 IN ADDITIONAL MULTI- YEAR GRANTS WERE RECORDED AFTER THE 990 HAD BEEN FILED. THE RECEIPT AND EXPENSE OF AN IN-KIND DONATION OF 150,000 WERE ALSO RECORDED IN THE AUDIT, BUT SUBSEQUENT TO THE ORIGINAL 990. DUE TO THESE MATERIAL CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, THIS AMENDED 990 HAS BEEN PREPARED. FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 VOLUNTEERS HELP HOUSTON HEALTH FOUNDATION BY: A - VOLUNTEERS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE DURING THE SEE TO SUCCEED AND PROJECT SAVING SMILES MISSIONS. THEY HELPED WITH CLINIC FLOW, LEADING FUN ACTIVTIES WITH GROUPS OF CHILDREN AND BASIC SCREENING PROCEDURES. B - VOLUNTEERS ASSIST WITH THE ON-GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR SURVEYS OF SPECIFIC AT-RISK COMMUNITIES. C - THE 10 MEMBERS OF THE BOARD VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO GOVERN THE POLICIES, OPERATIONS, AND FINANCES OF THE HOUSTON HEALTH FOUNDATION; THEY ALSO WORK TO CONNECT FOUNDATIONS PROGRAMS WITH DONORS AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THE BOARD MEMBERS MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS AND REVIEW THE FINANCIAL REPORTS AT THE REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS. FORM 990, PART III EMU, CONTINUED - THESE COMMUNITIES OFTEN HAVE A HIGH RISK OF EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAZARDS, SUCH AS FLOODING, AND THERE ARE ALSO BARRIERS TO DISEASE PREVENTION, MANAGEMENT, OR CARE; THESE INCLUDE LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, UNINSURED PEOPLE, AND THOSE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY. FOR THIS PROJECT, THE HHD BUREAU OF COMMUNITY AND CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (BCCEH) PARTNERED WITH THE HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (HISD) TO PROVIDE ASTHMA MANAGEMENT EDUCATION AND LEAD POISONING PREVENTION SERVICES TO STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. AS A COLLABORATION WITH HISD HEALTH SERVICES, THE PROGRAM ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE FULLY IN SCHOOL WHILE PREVENTING HEALTH EMERGENCIES AND, ULTIMATELY, HAVE GREATER QUALITY OF LIFE. THE EMU'S BILINGUAL COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER SCHEDULES AND CARRIES OUT HOME VISITS WITH PARTICIPATING FAMILIES. TEN (10) HISD SCHOOLS LOCATED IN LOW SOCIO-ECONOMIC COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH RATES OF ASTHMA WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE DISTRICT'S HEALTH SERVICES LEADER- SHIP TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROJECT. PRIORITY WAS GIVEN TO THE DISTRICT'S "180" SCHOOLS THAT CONSISTENTLY SUFFERED FROM POOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH OF 2020, THE EMU VISITED 9 OF THE 10 SCHOOLS THAT PARTICIPATED AND A TOTAL OF 28 STUDENTS RECEIVED SERVICES. IN SOME CASES, MORE THAN ONE VISIT WAS REQUIRED TO A SCHOOL IN ORDER TO SEE ALL THE CHILDREN AT THAT CAMPUS. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS THAT STARTED IN MARCH 2020, THE ORIGINAL PLANS FOR THE UNIT WERE CURTAILED. DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC STUDENTS AND PARENTS WERE SUPPORTED BY PHONE CALLS AND VIDEO CONFERENCES BY THE EMU TEAM. THE MOBILE UNIT HELPED TO SUPPORT COVID TESTING DURING THAT TIME BUT ONCE RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED THE UNIT WILL BE DEPLOYED FOR ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE. PSA 2 - HEALTH-RELATED DURING THE ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR 2019-2020 SEE TO SUCCEED WAS ABLE TO CARE FOR A RECORD CHILDREN AGES 6-18 FROM 13 HOUSTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS. SEE TO SUCCEED PROVIDES COMPLETE EYE EXAMS AND GLASSES AT NO CHARGE TO OVER 12,500 STUDENTS PER YEAR. THE MODEL FOR THIS PROGRAM IS STILL EVOLVING. DURING THE SPRING OF 2020, THE CONTINUING SUPPORT OF THE GEORGE FOUNDATION ALLOWED FOR ANOTHER THREE- DAY PILOT WITH A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER(FQHC) SERVING FORT BEND COUNTY, WHICH PROVIDED CARE FOR 600 STUDENTS FROM THREE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. OVER TIME THE MODEL WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE MORE FQHC'S AND OPTOMETRY SITES SO THAT CHILDREN CAN BE SERVED IN PROXIMITY TO THEIR HOMES WITH YEAR-ROUND ACCESS. PROJECT SAVING SMILES (PSS) PROVIDED ORAL HEALTH EDUCATION, DENTAL SCREENINGS, DENTAL SEALANTS, AND FLUORIDE VARNISHES TO 5,364 SECOND GRADERS IN AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR 2019-2020. SINCE INCEPTION, PSS HAS SERVED OVER 65,000 CHILDREN. DENTAL PAIN IS A LEADING CAUSE OF SCHOOL ABSENCES. ACCESS TO QUALITY DENTAL CARE CONTINUES TO IMPACT THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN IN THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA. IN ADDITION TO PSS, A NEW PROGRAM CALLED PEAS IN A POD BEGAN IN FISCAL YEAR 2019-20, WHICH SERVED 2,651 PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN DURING THE SAME PERIOD, WITH AN EYE TOWARD PROVIDING DENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTION AND SERVICES EARLIER IN A CHILD'S LIFE TO PREVENT CAVITIES AND ESTABLISH HEALTHY ORAL HYGIENE HABITS. STS, PSS, AND RELATED PROGRAMS WERE AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND RELATED RESTRICTIONS. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THEY WILL RESUME WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.
