| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF FAMILIES FIRST IS TO BUILD RESILIENT FAMILIES SO THAT ALL CHILDREN CAN THRIVE. FAMILIES FIRST TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF UNDERSERVED CHILDREN BY ASSESSING THE FAMILY'S ABILITY TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY (RESILIENCE SCORE) AND STRENGTHENING THE FAMILY'S RESILIENCE AND STABILITY THROUGH FAMILIES FIRST AND COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESOURCES. WE SERVED 14,902 INDIVIDUALS IN 2020. WE DO THIS BY FOCUSING ON PREVENTION AND PROVIDING A PERSONAL "NAVIGATOR" TO GUIDE FAMILIES THROUGH THE COMMUNITY'S COMPLEX SOCIAL SERVICES SYSTEM. THE ORGANIZATION'S HOLISTIC, COMPREHENSIVE, RESULTS-DRIVEN APPROACH YIELDS THE FOLLOWING: -AWARENESS OF BARRIERS THAT PREVENT FAMILIES FROM ACHIEVING SUCCESS AND SOCIAL EQUALITY -PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS TO REDUCE BARRIERS AND INCREASE ADVOCACY FOR CHANGE THEREBY TRANSFORMING THE SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEM INTO A SYSTEM OF CARE -BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF THE FAMILY TO DETERMINE EACH MEMBER'S UNIQUE NEEDS; CARE PLAN AND PERIODIC CHECK-INS AND AFTERCARE TO MEASURE IMPROVEMENT; A PEER COACH TO THOSE WHO NEED IT BENEFITS: -MOM, DAD/CAREGIVERS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE PARENTING BEHAVIORS -CHILDREN ACHIEVE THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL BY MODELING PARENTING BEHAVIORS -CHILDREN ARE HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER; POSITIONED FOR SUCCESS OVER FUTURE GENERATIONS -PRODUCES MEASURABLE, TRACKABLE RESULTS, TO INFORM DECISIONS FOR THE FAMILY, THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY LIVE, THEIR ZIP CODE AND HOW RESOURCES ARE DEPLOYED IN THE COMMUNITY THIS IN TURN INFLUENCES THE SYSTEM TO EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE AND MOVE CLOSER TO RACIAL EQUITY/SOCIAL JUSTICE (HOMELESSNESS REDUCTION, HOME OWNERSHIP, MENTAL/PHYSICAL HEALTHCARE, LIVABLE WAGE JOBS AND SUSTAINABLE CAREERS). |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 3 | IN 2020, FAMILIES FIRST INTRODUCED THE NAVIGATOR MODEL OF CARE AND OUR FAMILIES FIRST RESILIENCE NEEDS SCREENER (FFRNS-14). THE NAVIGATOR MODEL IS AN EARLY FAMILY INTERVENTION PROGRAM OF INTENSIVE CLIENT CARE SERVICES THAT RESPONDS TO THE NEEDS OF COMPLEX FAMILIES BY CONNECTING AND CONVENING THEM TO ALL AVAILABLE FAMILIES FIRST AND COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCES, COUPLED WITH BUILDING RESILIENCY AND INTENSIVE FOLLOW UP VIA AFTERCARE SERVICES TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SUCCESS. THE NAVIGATOR SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL: -PROVIDES A CARING AND SUPPORTIVE SOCIAL SERVICES EXPERT WITH CONTINUITY FROM INTAKE TO DISCHARGE -GIVES FAMILIES A FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING AND ADVANCING THEIR OWN RESILIENCE -UTILIZES EVIDENCE BASED/INFORMED ASSESSMENTS I.E., FFRNS-14, ACE, ETC. FOR EFFECTIVE SERVICE PLANNING -CONNECTS FAMILIES TO INTERNAL FAMILIES FIRST SERVICES I.E., COUNSELING, PARENTING CLASSES, ETC. -GALVANIZES COMMUNITY TO ENSURE KEY PARTNERSHIP THAT HELP RESPOND TO GAPS IN SERVICES -CONNECTS FAMILIES TO EXTERNAL SERVICES AND RESOURCES THAT RESPONDS TO BASIC NEEDS, BARRIERS TO IMPROVED FINANCES & OBTAINING EDUCATION GOALS, HELPS IMPROVES SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. RESILIENCE NEEDS SCREENING (FFRNS-14) THE FFRNS-14 IS A MEASURE OF PSYCHOSOCIAL RESILIENCY DESIGNED TO ASSIST INTERVENTIONS IN A SIMPLE, USER-FRIENDLY WAY. RESILIENCE CAN BE DEFINED BASED ON THE PROTECTIVE FACTOR THAT ONE SHOULD BE RESILIENT WITH AND THAT IS WHY THERE ARE MULTIPLE MEASURES FOR RESILIENCY. THEY'RE SPECIFIC TO THE HUMAN CHALLENGE THAT IS BEING FOCUSED ON. SOME STUDIES CAN MEASURE RESILIENCY OF THEIR SUBJECTS USING TOOLS LIKE THE CONNOR DAVIDSON RESILIENCE SCALE (CD-RISC) ONLY BECAUSE IT SPEAKS TO THE CHALLENGE AT HAND. OTHER STUDIES SUCH AS THE "STUDY TO ASSESS RISK & RESILIENCE IN SERVICE MEMBERS" (URSANOET.AL, 2017) DID NOT USE A SPECIFIC TOOL TO CAPTURE RESILIENCY ACUITY. FOR FAMILIES FIRST THIS WASN'T A FITTING OPTION NOR WAS USING OTHER VALIDATED TOOLS DUE TO SEVERAL CONSIDERATIONS: 1.OTHER TOOLS WERE NOT CLIENT FRIENDLY AND CALLED FOR CLARIFYING QUESTIONS FROM THE PARTICIPANTS 2.SCORING AND ANALYSIS ARE TIME CONSUMING AND REQUIRES CAREFUL LEARNING TIME 3.EXISTING SCALES STILL DO NOT CAPTURE THE TYPE OF RESILIENCY OF FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS IN A CLEAR, UNDERSTANDABLE MANNER. THE FFRNS-14 IS A 14-RESPONSE SCREENING TOOL USING A 5-POINT LIKERT SCALE (0-NOT AT ALL TO 4-ALL THE TIME) THAT PROVIDES A COMPOSITE SCORE AND A SCREENS FOR NEEDS IN 3 DIFFERENT AREAS OF PSYCHOSOCIAL RESILIENCY: 1.ACCESS: EX. "I HAVE APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO MY BASIC NEEDS SUCH AS FOOD, UTILITIES, HOME, AND SAFETY." 2.CONNECTEDNESS: EX. "I HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FAMILY." 3.FUTURE GOAL ORIENTATION: EX. "I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED." THE OVERALL PURPOSE INCLUDES INFORMING CLIENT SERVICE PLANNING/ CASE COORDINATION; COLLECTS COMMUNITY-LEVEL, RESILIENCY DATA TO SUPPORT DATA- DRIVEN, COLLABORATION BETWEEN COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS; AND SUPPORTS ADVOCACY FOR DEPLOYMENT OF VARIOUS COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THE ORGANIZATION PARTICIPATION IN THE FAMILY FOSTER CARE PROGRAM IS CHANGING DUE TO THE STATE'S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FAMILIES FIRST ACT. THE FAMILIES FIRST ACT GOAL IS TO PLACE FOSTER CARE CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH A KIN OR A CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND. THEY BELIEVE THIS MODEL BEST SERVES THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH. FAMILIES FIRST IS ASSESSING HOW IT MAY BETTER SERVE THE STATE WITH THIS NEW MODEL. AS A RESULT, A REDUCTION IN FAMILY FOSTER CARE REVENUE AND THE RELATED EXPENSES HAVE OCCURRED. ADDITIONALLY, FAMILIES FIRST ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM IS CHALLENGING SINCE WE NO LONGER HAVE A GROUP HOME TO FEED YOUTH TO OUR ILP PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY, THE STATE HAS IMPLEMENTED MORE STRINGENT HOUSING GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZATIONS BEFORE A YOUTH CAN BE ASSIGNED. THIS WILL RESULT IN REDUCTION OF REVENUE IN ILP REVENUE AND THE RELATED EXPENSES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | FAMILIES FIRST'S CHILD AND YOUTH PERMANENCY PROGRAMS PROVIDE SERVICES IN ADOPTION, FOSTER CARE, REUNIFICATION, COOPERATIVES (GROUP HOMES), AND INDEPENDENT LIVING (ILP).
