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 3134747 Client Services:In 2020, Restore received 350 referrals. When able to assess for trafficking, Restore identified 59% of referrals who had not yet been identified as survivors of human trafficking. Restore served 179 survivors in case management and 64 in counseling. Clients completing case management and counseling services on average had an 18% increase in mental wellbeing scores. In partnership with REST (Real Escape from the Sex Trade) in Seattle, Restore launched a new technology platform created by Microsoft called Freedom Signal. Freedom Signal uses technology to reach out to individuals who are being advertised for sex on the most popular illicit sex-buying sites. Since launching this initiative in January 2020, Restore communicated with 38 potential survivors providing support and resources. Restore began a new partnership with the Queens Family Justice Center (QFJC), an initiative of the Mayors Office to Combat Domestic Violence and the Queens County District Attorney's Office. The QFJC is a walk-in center where victims can immediately access comprehensive services with multiple agencies onsite, including the District Attorneys Office, NYPD, New York City Health and Hospitals, and New York City Department of Social Services. Restore is now a service provider at the QFJC receiving referrals for a trafficking screening and assessment and referral to our services. Housing:In 2020, Restore served 61 clients in our Housing program. Thirty-eight percent of new clients to Restore reported being homeless which dropped to four percent for those who engaged in Restores services. Our flexible-funding service was delivered to 44 survivors and 73 child family members to secure safe, stable, independent living. Survivors were either moved from homelessness to housed, or homelessness was prevented via this service. Restore served 10 survivors in our transitional home and provided emergency housing via Restore-specific hotel partnerships for 18 survivors. 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 also invited to be on 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. Economic Empowerment (EE):In 2020, Restore served 122 survivors in our Economic Empowerment program. Due to the pandemic, 80% of survivors lost their job, and Restores business partners decreased from 30 to 3. But by the end of the year, 35% of survivors who lost their jobs were employed again, and Restore acquired seven new business partners. Restore also launched the COVID-19 Relief and Stabilization Fund to address survivors unemployment and financial needs. This fund provided $444,300 in emergency cash assistance to 122 clients and their 86 children and 29 adult family members. As part of Restores entrepreneurship services, Restore held a Pitch Night which resulted in grant funding for 10 survivors to launch their business ventures, two of which have started operating. This past year, 53 survivors were members of a Restore-incubated social enterprise originally launched in 2016. Restore partnered with Salesforce in using a job-matching platform to track business-partner leads, manage placements, and pay cooperative members. Restore also launched a best-in-class Salesforce platform community (external-facing website) which was entered into a Salesforce award competition.Other noteworthy partnerships include WIBO and FAST. Restore launched a new partnership with Workshop in Business Opportunities (WIBO) in Fall 2020 to provide a more intensive entrepreneurship training program beyond Entrepreneurship Lab (ELab) to survivors of trafficking interested in growing their business ventures. In 2020, Restore was one of twelve NGOs in the United States selected for the Survivor Inclusion Initiative in partnership with the Liechtenstein Initiative. The Survivor Inclusion Initiative is part of Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST), which aims to mobilize the financial sector against modern slavery and human trafficking in accordance with Target 8.7 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Survivor Inclusion Initiative brings together a dedicated coalition of financial institutions and survivor support organizations to facilitate survivor access to basic banking services, such as checking and savings accounts, and to help survivors financial recovery. This is a critical partnership as the barriers to access financial services (e.g., lack of identification, poor credit, limited financial resources) are significant for many survivors of trafficking. 3134747 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 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 40 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 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 Jimmy Lee thru 1120 Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 153414 0 13109 Amanda Eckhardt Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 117151 0 4746 Elizabeth Kim Dir thru 120 COO 40.00 0.00 X X 107025 0 11480 Vanessa Holliday CFO/CAO 40.00 0.00 X 16629 0 842 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 Corinne Spurrier Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Ann Dunn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Haejin Shim Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laurie Bolthouse 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 Faith H Motter thru 93020 Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Scogin Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 394219 30177 3 false true false 0 20555 1583999 3603216 5207770 0 1610 1610 0 0 0 0 16416 20555 16416 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 3089 3089 3089 5212469 4699 0 0 0 0 409107 271142 44665 93300 0 1592026 1305915 93599 192512 42146 33214 2912 6020 139561 109986 9642 19933 149079 117486 10301 21292 0 1913 1913 57850 57850 0 0 0 164921 47759 21987 95175 560 560 20911 8712 6866 5333 6754 4890 1265 599 0 233299 201822 16726 14751 522 321 201 0 27432 4718 22706 8 0 0 898 898 15151 2400 12208 543 Direct assistance to clients 1018401 1018401 Donation processing 44358 44358 Special events and fundraising 43611 43611 Other expenses 21203 3135 6470 11598 3280 2035 1101 144 3992983 3134747 308858 549378 1644743 2805914 0 442381 934656 0 0 0 0 0 30850 76543 52479 52479 8981 0 141117 240961 0 0 0 24465 24465 2292537 4082539 54388 69930 54391 411900 54388 536221 X 2238149 2940601 605717 2238149 3546318 2292537 4082539 1219486 88683 X false true X true true true X 1076431 2104453 2515576 3948240 5207770 14852470 0 0 1076431 2104453 2515576 3948240 5207770 14852470 1059245 13793225 2268 2453 3593 4385 1610 14309 0 41918 12056 3730 3965 3089 64758 14931537 0.92380 0.93080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 52479 52479 X 5421324 88683 120172 208855 5212469 5212469 4113155 120172 120172 3992983 3992983 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
