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. 1) We provided food and food supplements for working homeless people who live in their vehicles with children and pet food for their pets. Their average income is net $475 per month from their part time jobs.2) We provided cat food for 2,400 feral cats. 3) We found homes for pets whose working homeless owners can no longer take care of them because of lost jobs resulting in foreclosed homes or evictions. Many animals are abandoned because their owners cannot afford to feed their pets.Current program accomplishments:1) Accountability and dignity are the two focuses of our community programs. We serve twenty-five working homeless families who have been living in their vehicles for over ten months. 2) Requirements and assistance for these families are: - The homeless children of these families must have a passing grade in school. - The working homeless families receive Health Club memberships for showers and family time together in a safe environment. - They receive Senior TracFone at http://seniorvaluecellphone.com/ for 911 situations. - One spouse from each family is required to attend the Home Health Aide class at a local vocational school. The program lasts six months. - Upon receiving the Home Health Aide certificate, they can find full time employment at $10 - $12/hour as Home Health Aides providing enough income to move into small apartments. Because Baby Boomers face a shortage of home health aides, jobs are plentiful in this industry.3) Twenty-five very low income working homeless families and homeless are selected into our community program. We do not accept alcoholic, drug dependent and/or mental health challenged homeless people into our programs as we are not equipped to serve them. Several local businesses and generous individuals step up and sponsor some essential items for the homeless families (TracFone, Health Club membership, safe place to park vehicles at night, motel vouchers for Thanksgiving and Christmas stay, discount vet care). 4) Five families are no longer living in their vehicles since 2009 and due to our programs they have moved into their own places. Their children can sleep in their own beds, and have friends coming over to do homework together. They now actually have addresses to call homes.5) Thirty seven rescue dogs and twelve domestic cats have been rehomed successfully. 28209 125 28209 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 0 0 false false CA Ha 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 74424 0 0 40951 33473 74424 45887 28537 4 4 0 0 74428 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26.1001 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $179 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $0 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20.1004 Other Changes In Net Assets Or Fund Balances.1004 Prior Period Adjustments $357 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.7 Other Expenses.7 Bank Charges $31 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.6 Other Expenses.6 Taxes & Licenses $50 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.4 Other Expenses.4 Travel $351 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.3 Other Expenses.3 Telephone $355 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.2 Other Expenses.2 Program Services $3145 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1 Other Expenses.1 Animal Care Costs $21662 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1012 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $721 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16.1002 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1079
