Since 1985, Bridges has been working with and for homeless families and offers a continuum of care for all family members. 0 0 1200102 334411 Our programs give families the skills and stability they need to build a brighter future. Approximately 100 families annually, participate in the following programs:- Emergency Shelter (Sullivan House) is the largest short-term family emergency shelter in Arlington, serving about 100 families per year in an apartment-style facility. The focus is on helping clients address issues that contributed to homelessness through case management and referral services. A special emphasis is placed on placing families quickly into their home, helping them acquire sound financial management skills and secure employment. Case managers provide resources to families to include mental health and substance abuse referrals. Families are provide with food and other necessities through donations from volunteers. The shelter is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.-Rapid Rehousing is a program designed to help families obtain housing quickly, increase self-sufficiency and remain permanently housed. Housing Stabilization Specialists work with families to identify housing options in Arlington County. Bridges subsidizes rent 100% for the first three months while families begin to get back on their feet. The next three months, the subsidy decreases to 75%, then three months later to 50%, and so on. The idea is that within a year, the families will be self-sufficient and able to maintain rent and utilities on their own without additional subsidies from Bridges. The housing options secured are meant to be long-term housing solutions with rental agreement and utilities in the family's name. 25000 Workforce Development - Bridges employment services help participants find, secure, and retain stable employment. We meet individuals where they are and provide what they need. For some, Bridges helps them obtain specialized trade certifications. For others, Bridges helps them translate their existing skillsets to new opportunities. Bridges provides group training and on-on-one mentorship while breaking down barriers to employment, such as transportation and childcare. The focus of the program is to move families from minimum wage to livable wage. 55981 Youth Development - This robust program provides year-round opportunities for youth to empower themselves with proactive skillsets and soft skills. It includes tutoring, mentoring, Kids Empowered nights, STEM nights, swimming lessons, guitar lessons, summer internships with local businesses, a very popular lemonade stand, and more. The Lemonade Stand is a youth-run enterprise that empowers youth of all ages to learn business skills. The money the youth earn from the Lemonade Stand goes toward opening their first savings account and is complemented with financial management workshops from the Arlington Community Federal Credit Union. Financial Empowerment-This program is more than learning how to manage a budget and open a savings account. The program meets our families in the realities where they are, which is navigating the complex government benefit programs for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Food Stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. The financial empowerment workshops are held at no charge to the families and they are provided one-on-one coaching options for financial management. The program is executed through community partnerships and volunteers. 1281083 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 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 0 0 1 30 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 VA X The Organization 7035257177 46 S Globe Road No 201 Arlington VA 222041672 Patrick King President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Janetta Brewer Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Evan Lacopo Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian O'Neill Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dina Land Past President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Mulchandani Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Don Meyer Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Stewart Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Milam Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sauri Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Dunn Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Samuel L Kelly Jr CEO 40.00 X 113609 0 13065 113609 0 13065 1 0 0 0 0 32383 966618 655939 103727 1654940 41433 41433 9427 32383 17807 -8380 -8380 1687993 0 0 33053 334411 334411 129996 98171 12823 19002 655362 494916 64649 95797 16010 12090 1580 2340 64357 44146 11666 8545 59060 44601 5826 8633 8918 8918 14843 14843 48700 27652 21048 576 576 8455 154 8301 58371 33711 23371 1289 14528 11857 2671 1324 1324 311 311 20296 20296 18615 18615 Donated materials 103727 103727 Supplies 42393 34905 7488 Client assistance 27131 27131 Communication 16158 12658 3500 8872 377 5700 2795 1652414 1281083 232930 138401 65604 106487 40046 214212 8372 38448 55877 5858 14468 182528 133500 67442 49028 1461002 1450513 5392 5392 1683792 1904349 93262 85382 440 440 202941 0 311 93702 289074 X 1590090 1600275 15000 1590090 1615275 1683792 1904349 35579 -10394 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1724000 1826084 1934295 2017035 1654940 9156354 1724000 1826084 1934295 2017035 1654940 9156354 227206 8929148 38887 36810 18793 47434 41433 183357 9339711 0.95600 0.95810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 X 182528 133500 49028 49028 Accrued interest payable 311 311 X 1677599 -10394 -10394 1687993 0 1687993 1652414 0 1652414 0 1652414 Part IV, Line 2b: Client deposit accounts, overseen by Bridges to Independence but payable to clients upon departure from program.
