A private, nonprofit organization, Bridges has been working with and for homeless families since 1985, when we were founded as the Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless. We offer a continuum of aid and support for all family members, helping them attain financial security and move forward into self-sufficiency. As homelessness is often episodic, our other priority is working closely with former participants to ensure they are able to remain securely housed and do not fall into homelessness again. 0 0 1538444 664581 Our programs give families the skills and stability they need to build a brighter future. Over 120 families annually, participate in the following programs: --Emergency Shelter: Sullivan House, Bridges' emergency shelter, provides individuals and families with a safe, supportive place to stay. Sullivan House, with its one- and two-bedroom apartments, is Arlington County's largest emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness. After an average stay of 3-6 months, Sullivan House participants are transitioned into Bridges' rapid re-housing program. --Rapid Re-Housing: Rapid re-housing is provided in Arlington County and the City of Alexandria. Our goal is to move families into safe, affordable, and permanent housing as quickly as possible. Participants secure and maintain a lease in their own name, while receiving Bridges' ongoing supportive services-including connection to community resources, financial assistance, and intensive case management. --Employment Services (Bridge To Work): Our employment services help participants find, secure, and retain stable employment. We meet individuals where they are and provide what they need for where they want to go. For some that is obtaining a specialized trade certification, for others it is translating their existing skill set to new opportunities. We provide group training and one-on-one mentorship while breaking down barriers to employment, such as transportation and child care. --Financial Literacy: Bridges works with participants to increase their financial knowledge and skills, while emphasizing household budgeting and credit repair. In collaboration with community partners, we offer customized financial literacy workshops, tax preparation classes, and one-on-one coaching with financial professionals. --Youth Development: Youth at-risk for or experiencing homelessness can be a forgotten population. These children are often suffering from trauma, poor physical/mental health, stress, developmental delays, and missed educational opportunities. Our youth development programming addresses these factors and increases the academic skills, self-esteem, college readiness, and overall well-being of the children we serve. 1538444 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 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 7 0 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 VA X ResutlsCFO 3013632360 7361 Calhoun Place Rockville MD 20855 Bill Dunn Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Falck Armstrong Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Evan Lacopo Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dina Land Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Donald Meyer Recording secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian O'Neill Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Mulchandani President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Stewart Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick King Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jenetta Brewer Esq MPA Corresponding secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Samuel L Kelly Jr Executive Director 40.00 X 108489 0 0 108489 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 90341 1255126 609203 186231 1954670 18794 18794 154343 148800 4032 5543 -4032 1511 -4032 5543 2375 90341 32020 -29645 -29645 1945330 -4032 0 -5308 664581 664581 118199 118199 710540 540060 42816 127664 28146 16214 11085 847 65150 55316 9679 155 63770 38429 13565 11776 500 500 15594 15594 34210 34210 42432 41666 766 1716 1049 667 12327 260 11927 140 3416 1204 2212 12528 10400 1766 362 3885 45 3785 55 13780 13780 21421 21421 Donated materials 186231 151231 5000 30000 Client assistance 46691 42397 2874 1420 Staff development 17061 14586 2475 Dues and subscriptions 12564 8388 4176 44069 9919 19531 14619 2118811 1538444 389421 190946 60671 152509 69546 177001 141030 30198 26012 1896 153294 95061 24143 58233 1608482 1467205 300505 4636 2206273 1915794 78986 156565 9325 8960 505 4684 0 2737 88816 172946 X 2105019 1726588 12438 16260 2117457 1742848 2206273 1915794 X -173481 -28550 -172578 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1885286 1700340 1724000 1826084 1934295 9070005 1885286 1700340 1724000 1826084 1934295 9070005 266554 8803451 2599 5193 38887 36810 18793 102282 9172287 39856 0.95980 0.96250 X 0 1 X 153294 95061 58233 58233 Pass through funds 2737 2737 X 2053096 -28550 136316 107766 1945330 0 1945330 2427705 136316 172578 308894 2118811 0 2118811 Part IV, Line 2b: Client deposit accounts, overseen by Bridges to Independence but payable to clients upon departure from program. Part X, Line 2: The Organization is exempt from federal income tax as a nonprofit organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as an organization other than a private foundation. The Organization did not have a liability for unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Organization is subject to taxation in the U.S. and a small number of state and local jurisdictions. The material jurisdictions subject to potential examination by taxing authorities include the U.S. and Virginia. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any future examinations of open tax years will have a material impact on the Organization's results of operations. Tax years that remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service are fiscal years after 2015. Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Unusual expense - termination of conodo purchase contract Schedule D Part XII Line 2d In 2017, the Organization sold a lot and existing building to a developer with an agreement to repurchase the newly reconstructed first floor space upon completion. Due to rising project costs and the required square footage buy back cost, the Board concluded in 2018 to terminate the contract and seek other arrangements for office space. Costs include legal, consulting, contractor fees, termination fees in addition to write offs of restricted pledges recieved in FY17 toward the buy back that mangament determined to be uncollectible.

X Program materials 700 186231 Purchase price 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 During 2018, the Board changed the following within the Organization's by-laws: One of the changes is in regards to our annual election for officers. We propose electing new officers in December with terms to begin January 1. The Governance Committee is responsible for the nominations process. You will see that we are recommending a reduction in the number of Executive Committee members (combining two secretary positions into one.) The Governance Committee and Executive Committees have discussed at length instituting new procedures for the Exec Comm. Our recommended process (dates are fluid in this) is that nominations (of others or self) are submitted to the Chair of the Governance Committee by November 15. The Governance Committee would then propose a recommended slate of officers by December 1. Executive Committee officers who assume a role on the Executive Committee should presume a rotation of positions and expect/desire to follow a progression from Secretary to Vice President to President to Immediate Past President. The role of Treasurer is not assumed to be part of this progression as the duties of Treasurer are unique, however Treasurer could lead to the progression articulated above if so desired/warranted. Thusly, each year, we would be filling the Secretary position as that person moves on to the Vice President role. However, because we are recommending that we combine the Secretary roles going forward, for 2019 we would not have an "opening" in the Secretary slot as only one of current Secretaries would move into the Vice President slot. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Board of Directors receives a copy of Form 990 prior to filing and is able to review for any changes. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The conflict of interest policy is included in B2I's personnel manual and is reviewed at board meetings and staff meetings. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a B2I's board of directors consulted with an independent executive search firm, used peer organizations, market realities and publically published salaries to determine the executive director's salary. It is reviewed on a annual basis by the board. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18 The organization makes it documents available upon request for public inspection. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Termination of condo purchase contract -172,578. XII Line 2c The Organization has not changed its oversight or selection process for the year.
