We Fortify

“Prior to filing, a draft of form 990 is reviewed and approved by the board of directors.”

“At each board meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict. Annually, the organization reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each board member list and acknowledge any known conflicts.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and Form 990 are available upon request.”

“We do this by providing safe dignified housing within a small supportive community, individualized trauma-responsive therapies, life skills education, and living wage career placement. WE ARE A HOMELESS PREVENTION INITIATIVE. This is generational shift : one person, one neighborhood, one community at a time. Working Fusion at Mill Street is for young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 who: -Will benefit from close proximity to access support services -Are able and motivated to be self-sufficient -Often through no fault of their own, are at extreme risk for becoming, have been, or are situationally homeless -Have the desire to live a life of purpose and independence In the short time since Working Fusion launched, our residents are growing and moving their lives forward. Among their accomplishments: Two residents have graduated from the program! One is working in a living wage career position with 401k, paid time off and healthcare, and the other is continuing their education at UCCS. Many are in school finishing high school, GEDs, and college courses. Some are working to stabilize areas of their lives including mental health and/or legal issues so they can start or return to school. Two will be graduating with their Associate's Degrees this year.”
