IRS990/Desc0Early Childhood Development: Higher Ground has two programs to support parents with young children. The first is Parenting Circles in collaboration with Families First Parenting Programs. The second is support for high quality early education and care with a significant collaboration with the Crispus Attucks Children's Center (CACC). During FY 2017, CACC agreed to host the Parenting Circles which made the program easily accessible to the more than 200 families with children at the Center. Higher Ground continued to support high quality child care services in its target area. Following an initial year of collaboration with the Crispus Attucks Children's Center (CACC), Higher Ground entered into a three-year agreement with CACC to support it in increasing its enrollment closer to capacity and to serve more children and families in Higher Ground's target area. We also supported CACC with its effort to embark on a much-needed capital improvement project and secured more than $1 million in capital, which allowed it to begin some of the improvements.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Education: Higher Ground supports three district schools, Higginson K-2, Higginson Lewis K-8 and David Ellis K-5, and three local charter schools, KIPP, Brooke and Bridge Boston, and the Mission Grammar Catholic School. Higher Ground support and advocacy for the three district schools has resulted in the schools' accessing the many new resources. During fiscal year 2017, Higher Ground increased services to three local district schools and continued to convene the parent leadership of seven schools to continue to collaborate and share best practices, convened meetings of parent leaders from the seven schools and continued development of a community-wide parent network and increased its work with a local child care provider to build its capacity and serve more area children and families. Also in fiscal year 2017, Higher Ground played a lead role in two major collective impact initiatives. The first was its collaboration with a citywide working group, including representatives of the city of Boston Education Cabinet, Boston Public Schools (BPS), Department of Neighborhood Development, Boston Housing Authority and several other partners to design a pilot program to address the growing challenge of homeless children in Boston schools. The pilot program will begin with six inner city schools including three that Higher Ground is supporting. The pilot program is scheduled to be launched in fiscal 2018. The second was the bringing together and coordination of 20 partners in forming the High Ground Promise Neighborhood Coalition led by ABCD and submitting a 5-year $30 million proposal to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). The Coalition has agreed to continue to explore working together for greater impact with or without the DOE funding.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0* Youth Development: Higher Ground collaborates with Center for Teen Empowerment to help at-risk youth participate in positive activities in and around Higher Ground's impact zone. During fiscal year 2017, this collaboration consisted primarily in shared offices and certain administrative functions and mutual support in community outreach and communications.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1Health: Higher Ground seeks to ensure that every resident in its impact area has access to a medical home and does not rely on emergency rooms for routine health care. During fiscal year 2017 Higher Ground's team of volunteers welcomed a retired pediatrician and expanded its capacity to support schools in areas of health and social and emotional learning.
