We also provide pet food to low income people and cat food for feral cats. We find homes for pets when their homeless owners can no longer care for them. We provide food for very low income working homeless individuals who live in their vehicles with their children and pets. The average income in these families is $475 per month and most of these homeless individuals can only find part time jobs in retail positions.Many animals are abandoned or surrendered to city/county shelters because their low income owners cannot afford to feed their pets. Because the owners have lost their jobs then their homes go into foreclosure and many are evicted with no other options. The Foundation alleviates the financial and physical burden on city/county animal shelters and on taxpayers by providing pet food to low income individuals to keep their pets.Restricted grants from animal welfare foundations allowed us to offer free mobile clinics that provided spaying and neutering services to low income and homeless pet owners in several communities. A total of 336 dogs and cats were spayed and neutered in this year alone. Twenty-two dogs and twelve cats have been re-homed successfully, after these pets were surrendered to Basic Needs Foundation as their homeless owners could not keep them any longer.Community support and multiple grants from foundations provide the first step in positive change for the life of working homeless families and their pets.Home health aide jobs are becoming very popular due to the huge number of baby boomers who are reaching the age where in-home care is needed. The homeless individuals we help are working on Home Health Aide Training and expect to receive their certificates in the near future. With this knowledge, these individuals will be able to secure full-time jobs that pay up to $15 per hour. This is the next critical step to being able to afford a real home.Several local businesses and generous individuals sponsor essential items for homeless families, such as TracFone, health club membership, safe place to park vehicles at night, motel vouchers for Thanksgiving and Christmas stay, and discount vet care.From January through December 2011, a total of six adults and eleven children including their seven pets had moved into their own apartments, studios or mobile homes and they are no longer living in their vehicles. They can take showers at their apartments rather than in a local gym, they can make and eat their meals in their kitchens rather than in their cars, and they can live a life where they are contributing positively to the community.We are very grateful for the support. 63345 63345 Catherine Hunter 439 E 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 5.00 0 Creed A Raftery 439 E 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 5.00 0 Elaine Adolfo 439 E 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 5.00 0 Robert D Amneus 439 E 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 28.00 0 Nhutdung N Adolfo 439 E 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 56.00 0 X false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false CA Nhutdung Adolfo 439 East 247th Street Carson CA 907456536 3233252712 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 40951 33473 73077 147501 0 0 40951 33473 73077 147501 89707 57794 4 13 17 0 40 40 147558 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.12 Other Expenses.12 Bank Charges $29 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.11 Other Expenses.11 Telephone $38 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.10 Other Expenses.10 Taxes & Licenses $45 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.9 Other Expenses.9 Supplies $50 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.8 Other Expenses.8 Repairs and Maintenance $53 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.6 Other Expenses.6 Software $86 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.5 Other Expenses.5 Books & Reference Materials $130 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.4 Other Expenses.4 Volunteer Expenditures $317 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.3 Other Expenses.3 Office $372 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.2 Other Expenses.2 Program Services $9270 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1 Other Expenses.1 Animal Care Costs $50884 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1012 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $721 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1005 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $722 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1001 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $74
