Through PESS, Vita Nova provides supports to youth that are enrolled in Post Secondary programs to assist them to be academically successful and to be able to be self-sufficient. Aftercare services are provided based on a needs assessment and intended to be temporary in nature. Services are often used as a bridge for youth in-between services, and may include mentoring, tutoring, mental health, substance abuse, counseling, and financial assistance. Vita Nova's objective is twofold. First, teach the life skills many older foster youth missed while growing up in foster care. These life skills are across five areas of independence: financial, employment, educational, wellness, and housing. Our second objective is to support the completion of post-secondary goals. This support comes in the form of providing weekly life coaching and contact to ensure youth have answers to questions during this critical time of their lives. In many instances Vita Nova team members are the only resource remaining for older foster youth who have turned 18, and who feel on their own.86% of Vita Nova Foster youth demonstrated forward progress towards a degree in college, compared to 60% of youth who drop out of college annually in the US (education data.org, https://educationdata.org/college-dropout-rates)54% of youth involved in PESS [Post-Secondary Education & Supports] are employed compared to 20% state average* *Source: DCF Independent Living Services Annual Report, Florida, January 202021% of our older foster youth reached a graduation stage, compared to the state average of 16%* *Source: DCF Independent Living Services Annual Report, Florida, January 2020 563095 14930 Vita Nova VillageVita Nova Village provides housing for young adults ages 18-25 who are at-risk of homelessness.

The Organization has been classified as a publicly supported organization, which is not a private foundation under 509(a) of the Code. Income from certain activities not directly related to the Organization's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Accordingly, there is no liability for income taxes reflected in these financial statements. The Organization follows FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This pronouncement seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Organization assesses its income tax positions based on management's evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. The Organization uses the prescribed more likely than not threshold when making its assessment. There are currently no open federal or state tax years under audit.
