“Management approves the irs form 990 that is prepared. Upon managements review, the irs form 990 is presented to the finance committee for their review and approval. Once the finance committee approves the irs form 990, the irs form 990 is given to the other board of director members for their review and approval prior to filing the form with the internal revenue service.”

“Conflict of interest forms are completed annually by all board and staff members. The conflict of interest policy is provided to all board members who are required to review the policy, document any conflicts of interest and sign and return the form to the organization. The finance committee will review the returned conflict of interest statements for matters that require further analysis.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“Mission continued: navigation - peer youth navigators use their personal experiences & knowledge of systems to support youth in accessing a variety of resources on their paths to stability. Opportunity passport - a matched savings & financial capabilities class for youth ages 14-25 who have spent at least one day in foster care after their 14th birthday. The course helps youth open a bank account in their own name & matches youth savings for the purchase of assets. Dignity fund - seeks to ensure that young people are not just housed but are able to maintain homes. Youth exiting homelessness receive lodging kits of household items, access to furniture resources, and financial assistance with housing application fees. Emergency assistance - offers onetime assistance to youth.”

“A place 4 me served 515 youth and young adults through our navigation services program, providing critical support to young people experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Our program staff documented 6,894 service interactions, facilitating over 1000 housing-related engagements. We paid approximately $64,000 in rental assistance to keep young people housed or help them secure housing. We invested nearly $34,000 in furniture and lodging expenses to ensure the dignity of moving in for newly housed young adults, and we provided $18,000 in emergency assistance, covering a broad range of specific needs to foster housing stability. Through opportunity passport, our financial capability and match savings program, we supported 115 participants who purchased 43 assets, with participants contributing nearly $22,000 towards capital gains.”
