“PART III, LINE 3 DURING FY 06/30/14, THE GEMINI PROGRAM WAS CLOSED. PLEASE SEE PART III, LINE 4A NARRATIVE FOR MORE DETAILS. PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS PART III LINE 4A - Child and Youth Services Family Tree serves children and adolescents who have been abused or neglected and are not safe in their homes and youth who are homeless on the streets or have run away from home. Family Tree also serves youth who are at risk of being removed from their homes due to behavioral problems. In fiscal 2013/14, Family Tree Child and Youth Services provided face-to-face, direct services to 2,154 individuals. Family Tree also provided assistance via crisis information lines to another 1,845 individuals/families. Family Tree's Gemini Adolescent Treatment Center provided shelter, counseling, and education for youth ages 11-17 that had been abused, neglected, in family conflict, were runaways or homeless. Family Tree Gemini provided 595 nights of shelter and services to 20 youth, including 132 runaway and homeless youth. Of the runaway and homeless youth served, 95% were reunified with their families or placed in other appropriate living situations. Family Tree Gemini staff made 1,013 contacts with homeless and runaway youth through street outreach in Jefferson, Adams and Boulder Counties. Additionally, they assisted 1,845 youth and adults via the 24-hour information/referral hotline and gave 51 educational presentations on runaway issues to 1,056 students and members of local civic and community groups, including law enforcement. In addition, Family Tree's Community Family Resource Team provided individual and family therapy, case management and crisis intervention for 36 at-risk youth in order to divert them from future out-of-home placement and the child welfare system. Of the youth within the program, 81% were successfully diverted from further child welfare system involvement, and since the program's inception (2005) greater than 95% of the youth successfully diverted remained in their homes for 12 months or longer, post case closure. During 2013 Colorado counties' utilization of the Gemini program changed considerably, resulting in far fewer children being placed in the program. Consequently, the decline in revenue associated with the decrease in children placed in the program reached a level that was no longer sustainable, and management did not believe would become sustainable. Therefore to remain a strong, stable and fiscally responsible organization Family Tree made the very difficult, but necessary decision to close the Family Tree Gemini program, effective January of 2014. LINE 4B - Housing and Family Stabilization Services Family Tree helps adult individuals, youth, and families who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness, or are experiencing economic and family instability to obtain the supportive services they need to address immediate issues, sustain or improve their self-sufficiency, and obtain safe, stable housing. Family Tree assists persons who have very low to no income and are working toward goals to increase their self-sufficiency as well as military families, veterans and families who are caring for family members who are not their own children when parents are unable to do so. In fiscal 2013/14, Family Tree Housing and Family Stabilization Services provided direct services to 4,205 individuals and assistance via crisis hotlines/information phone lines to 6,207 individuals/families. In fiscal 2013/14 at House of Hope, a residential shelter for homeless women and their children, Family Tree provided 11,107 nights of shelter and support services for 68 women and 131 children and responded to 1,203 crisis line/information calls. 42% of the families who exited House of Hope moved into stable housing. Additionally, in fiscal 2013/14, Family Tree provided housing and client centered case management to 381 families in Family Tree's Homeless Programs, and provided limited case management and housing assistance to 4,006 p”

“PART VI, LINE 12C Family Tree's Conflict of Interest policy applies to any Director, Officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers.

An individual with a conflict shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest.

“PART VI, LINE 15A & 15B Family Tree has a compensation program and philosophy, which includes using a salary schedule based upon current market values of all positions. The human resources committee of the board reviews and provides input on the salary schedule. The CEO approves the salary schedule for all positions except CEO and CFO. The chair of the human resources committee, who also serves on the board of directors, takes the schedule for CEO and CFO compensation to the board of directors for final approval. The salary schedule for all positions, including the CEO and CFO, is reviewed at least every two years by conducting a comprehensive salary schedule review against applicable market surveys. This review was last undertaken in June 2013. The deliberation and discussions are appropriately documented in the board minutes. Compensation is initially set based on the salary schedule and subsequent increases are established based on performance evaluations and must remain within the range established in the salary schedule. Performance evaluations are completed by each employee's supervisor. The performance evaluation of the CEO is completed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors with input from the full Board.”
