EACH FAMILY IS ASSISTED BY PROFESSIONAL STAFF WHO MEET WITH THEM WEEKLY TO PROVIDE RESOURCES AND GUIDANCE IN REACHING INDIVIDUAL GOALS IN AREAS INCLUDING HEALTH AND SAFETY, FINANCES, PARENTING, AND TRANSPORTATION.OUR SHELTER OPENED IN 2008 WITH A UNIQUE MODEL OF CONGREGATIONS PROVIDING HOUSING FOR FAMILIES BY CONVERTING CLASSROOMS INTO BEDROOMS WHILE VOLUNTEERS SUPPLIED DINNER FOR THE FAMILIES, CREATING A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO CARE. IN 2021, AS COVID CONTINUED, OUR SHELTER REMAINED OPEN WITH FAMILIES HOUSED IN HOTEL ROOMS AND FAMILY COACHING PROVIDED THROUGH VIDEO CONFERENCE. WE SERVED A TOTAL OF 10 FAMILIES IN SHELTER-25 INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING 13 CHILDREN. WHILE THIS APPROACH HAS BEEN A SHORT-TERM SOLUTION, IN DECEMBER 2021 WE BEGAN CONSTRUCTION TO CONVERT OUR FACILITY (THE "DAY CENTER") INTO A PERMANENT OVERNIGHT SHELTER WITH A GOAL OF REOPENING IN JUNE 2022. WE LOOK FORWARD TO PROVIDING A NEW HOME FOR OUR FAMILIES WHILE WELCOMING BACK VOLUNTEERS FROM THE CONGREGATIONS AND COMMUNITY WHO WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING DINNER TO THE SHELTER AND SPEND TIME WITH OUR FAMILIES AS THEY MOVE TOWARD INDEPENDENCE. 116532 42918 SUSTAINING ACHIEVEMENTS FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING (SAIL):OUR SAIL PROGRAM IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES ENSURING LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY FOR OUR FAMILIES AFTER THEY GRADUATE FROM SHELTER AND MOVE BACK INTO COMMUNITY HOUSING. TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SAIL, FAMILIES MUST DEMONSTRATE THEIR COMMITMENT TO WORKING TOWARD THEIR GOALS BY SHOWING PROGRESS DURING THEIR TIME IN SHELTER.ONCE FAMILIES ENTER SAIL, THEY ARE ASSISTED IN DETERMINING NEW GOALS TO ENSURE FUTURE SUCCESS. FAMILIES MEET WITH THEIR FAMILY COACH A MINIMUM OF ONCE A MONTH TO REVIEW THEIR BUDGET, MONITOR PROGRESS TOWARD GOALS, AND ACCESS COMMUNITY RESOURCES. ESSENTIAL SUBSIDIES ARE PROVIDED FOR ONE TO TWO YEARS IN AREAS INCLUDING MOVING COSTS, SECURITY DEPOSITS, RENT, AND CHILDCARE. FPM ALSO NEGOTIATES WITH LANDLORDS AND ACTS AS A GUARANTOR WHEN NEEDED TO ASSURE LANDLORDS THAT OUR FAMILIES WILL BE A LOW RISK AS TENANTS. IN 2021 WE SERVED 17 FAMILIES IN OUR SAIL PROGRAM, 45 INDIVIDUAL INCLUDING 27 CHILDREN.THE SAIL PROGRAM HAS A MEASURABLE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY BY MOVING FAMILIES PERMANENTLY OUT OF POVERTY. FAMILIES ARE GIVEN THE GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT THEY NEED IN TRANSITION WHILE SUBSIDIES ALLOW FAMILIES TO CONTINUE THEIR DEBT REDUCTION AND SAVINGS THAT THEY BEGAN WHILE IN THE SHELTER PROGRAM. AS A RESULT, FAMILIES ASSIMILATE SUCCESSFULLY INTO THE COMMUNITY AND ACHIEVE A LEVEL OF SUSTAINABLE INCOME THAT INCREASES THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND ENSURES A BRIGHT FUTURE. 135296 16646 THE LOCAL INITIATIVE FOR FAMILY EMPOWERMENT (LIFE):THE LIFE PROGRAM IS A PREVENTION AND DIVERSION PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS FAMILIES AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS AND SHELTER ENTRY. LIFE PROGRAM COACHES WORK WITH FAMILIES TO IDENTIFY THE IMMEDIATE THREATS TO THEIR HOUSING SECURITY AND DEVELOP A PLAN TO ADDRESS THE RISK. BASED ON INDIVIDUAL NEED, FPM THEN PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES, WHICH MAY INCLUDE SUBSIDIES FOR RENT IN ARREARAGE, SECURITY DEPOSITS, OR MOVING COSTS. IN ADDITION, FPM WORKS WITH THE FAMILY TO IMPROVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR LANDLORD BY PROVIDING ADVOCACY, ESTABLISHING PAYMENT PLANS, AND HELPING THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS A TENANT.TO ENSURE LONG-TERM HOUSING STABILITY, ALL FAMILIES ARE THEN SUPPORTED WITH ONE YEAR OF FAMILY COACHING, CREATING GOALS THAT ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THEIR NEAR EVICTION. THE LIFE PROGRAM IS THE FASTEST-GROWING PROGRAM IN OUR CONTINUUM OF SERVICES, AND IN 2021 WE SERVED 37 FAMILIES-112 INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING 61 CHILDREN WHO WERE ALL PREVENTED FROM EVER BECOMING HOMELESS.STEPS TO SUCCESS:THE STEPS TO SUCCESS PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY BY ASSISTING PARENTS IN ACCESSING EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL MAXIMIZE THEIR EARNING POTENTIAL, WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING CHILDREN IN PLANNING FOR FURTHER EDUCATION TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. OVER THE YEARS THE PROGRAM HAS GROWN TO SERVE ADULTS AND TEENS IN OUR SHELTER, SAIL, AND LIFE PROGRAMS.WHILE MANY FAMILIES ALREADY HAVE CAREER GOALS WHEN COMING INTO OUR PROGRAMS, THEY OFTEN NEED ASSISTANCE IN PAYING OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS TO ACCESS PROFESSIONAL TRAININGS, HIGHER EDUCATION, OR SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. FPM PROVIDES SUBSIDIES TO ADDRESS THESE POTENTIAL BARRIERS INCLUDING COURSE FEES, CHILDCARE, CLOTHING, SUPPLIES, AND TRANSPORTATION. IN 2020 WE ALSO LAUNCHED A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM THAT OFFERS $1,000 SCHOLARSHIPS TO MEMBERS OF CURRENT OR ALUMNI FAMILIES.MEMBERS PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION:SUBSIDIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS ARE INCLUDED IN GUEST ASSISTANCE AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.TO HELP OUR FAMILIES BUILD THEIR SKILLS FOR SUCCESS, WE ALSO OFFER IN-HOUSE TRAININGS INCLUDING NEW BEGINNINGS (A FINANCIAL LITERACY COURSE) AND KEYS TO GOOD TENANCY (A TENANCY TRAINING COURSE).ADDITIONALLY, WE ESTABLISHED A TUTORING SERVICE IN 2020 TO PAIR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH VOLUNTEER TUTORS TO HELP THEM BUILD SKILLS AND ACHIEVE EDUCATIONAL GOALS. 165166 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 165166 655022 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 18 0 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X SUSAN CROSSLEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 5083184820 6 MULLIGAN STREET NATICK MA 01760 REVEREND JASON RUTHERFORD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EMMANUEL BADOO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL VIRSHBO CHAIR 10.00 X X 0 0 0 MAUREEN WOOSTER FORMER DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF KINNEY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER CONNOLLY CLERK 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KELLI CONNORS VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 HARRIETT HALLAGAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL SEAMAN TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DAYANNA MORENO ESQ DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS TEICH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN PATTERSON GREENE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DELISA JOSEPH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 YUSUF KALULE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN CROSSLEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 105001 0 7775 105001 0 7775 1 0 0 0 0 441108 42500 1128494 63960 1612102 282 282 0 441108 9979 -9979 -9979 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 3295 3295 3295 1605700 3295 0 -9697 142384 142384 117026 39788 38619 38619 444466 298701 79695 66070 14624 10348 1888 2388 43392 19197 17896 6299 48495 32613 8332 7550 14675 14675 6617 650 5967 51756 9095 13080 29581 18137 2225 2359 13553 29789 24630 1368 3791 415 247 168 8500 8500 35340 31806 1767 1767 9013 6293 2370 350 GUEST SERVICES AND TRAN 33171 33171 VEHICLE EXPENSES 4165 4096 69 MISCELLANEOUS 1734 25 525 1184 LOSS ON UNCOLLECTIBLE R 1065 1065 1024764 655022 198422 171320 372959 447318 583588 997043 500 102500 3873 1950 6987 13982 8700 1547000 136164 1366310 1410836 9609 7047 2348898 2984304 72801 127271 72801 127271 X 2199043 2551513 77054 305520 2276097 2857033 2348898 2984304 580936 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 1316496 1002705 967829 1382695 1617652 6287377 1316496 1002705 967829 1382695 1617652 6287377 451582 5835795 7612 7328 983 474 282 16679 1032 1267 600 1000 3295 7194 6311250 202477 0.92470 0.92000 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE - 2017 AMOUNT: $ 1,032. 2018 AMOUNT: $ 1,267. 2019 AMOUNT: $ 600. 2020 AMOUNT: $ 1,000. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 3,295.
