Organizations Filed Purposes:
OUR MISSION IS TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME, SINGLE PARENTS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE AND BECOME FREE FROM COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE WHILE BUILDING AND MAINTAINING STRONG, HEALTHY FAMILIES. EVERY DAY, PROJECT SELF-SUFFICIENCY BREAKS NEW GROUND WITH SINGLE-PARENT FAMILIES TO ACCESS THEIR SELFPOWER. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS FOR FAMILIES TO LIVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE THROUGH THE POWER OF EDUCATION AND A TARGETED CAREER PATH.
PROJECT SELF-SUFFICIENCY ASSISTED 124 SINGLE PARENTS DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019. EACH PROGRAM PARTICIPANT WAS MATCHED WITH AN ADVISOR FROM THE PROJECT SELF-SUFFICIENCY STAFF WHO HELPS WITH GOAL SETTING, CAREER PLANNING, PROBLEM SOLVING, BARRIER REMOVAL, ACCESS TO EDUCATION, COUNSELING, AND EMPLOYMENT. EXPENSES TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES INCLUDE SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR PROGRAM STAFF AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT, AS WELL AS SUPPLIES, POSTAGE, PRINTING, OFFICE SPACE AND OTHER EXPENSES RELATED TO PROGRAM EXECUTION. ADDITIONAL EXPENSES RELATED TO PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES THAT DIRECTLY REMOVE BARRIERS TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY ARE INCLUDED IN THE CATEGORIES BELOW. SEE THE ANNUAL PROGRAM REPORT AT WWW.BRINGTHEPOWER.ORG FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. LOOK IN THE "ABOUT US" SECTION.
THE HEALTHY FAMILIES PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE TOP BARRIERS THAT SINGLE-PARENT FAMILIES FACE BY STABILIZING THEM IN AREAS OF HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, CHILDCARE AND MENTAL HEALTH THAT IMPEDE A SINGLE PARENTS' ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IN KEY AREAS. SUPPORTS INCLUDE ACCESS TO HOUSING AND EVICTION PREVENTION, AFFORDABLE CAR REPAIRS, AND FUNDING FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, TO NAME JUST A FEW. THE SAFETY NET PROVIDED BY THE HEALTHY FAMILIES PROGRAM MITIGATES THE CYCLE OF CRISIS THAT MANY FAMILIES FACE WHEN LIVING IN POVERTY AND SUSTAINS MOMENTUM AND FOCUS TOWARD THE PURSUIT OF EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER GOALS.
THE CARS FOR FAMILIES PROGRAM PROVIDES DONATED VEHICLES TO FAMILIES ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM. DONATED CARS ARE SAFETY INSPECTED AND NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE MADE. CAR TITLES ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE DONORS TO THE ORGANIZATION AND THEN TO THE FAMILIES WHO ARE SELECTED TO RECEIVE A CAR. VOLUNTEER AND DONATED CAR REPAIR IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES. THE VALUES OF DONATED VEHICLES DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 TOTALED 63,243 AND IS INCLUDED AS AN EXPENSE IN THIS SECTION. PROJECT SELF-SUFFICIENCY SHOWS THIS VALUE AS INCOME SINCE THE CARS ARE AWARDED TO FAMILIES.
