• THE CASA FIRST ABRIGO ADVOCATES PROGRAMCASA FIRST BROADENED ITS MODEL AND SERVICES THROUGH THEIR NEWLY LAUNCHED ABRIGO ADVOCATES PROGRAM. ABRIGO IS THE SPANISH TERM MEANING COAT, REFUGE, OR PROTECTION "WHERE ONE IS SHELTERED FROM ELEMENTS OR HARM". THE ABRIGO ADVOCATES PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO HELP CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY TRAUMA AND OR ARE SYSTEM INVOLVED, BY MATCHING THEM WITH A CARING AND DEDICATED ADVOCATE WHO CAN CREATE A SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, AND ASSIST THEM TO FIND THE RESOURCES AND SERVICES THEY NEED, PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE, ASSIST WITH PRACTICAL LIFE FUNCTIONS, AND MORE. WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO BUILD POSITIVE CONNECTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY AND HAVE STABILITY. WE KNOW THAT THE EARLIER AN INTERVENTION IS, THE MORE LIKELY THE TRAJECTORY OF A CHILD OR YOUTH'S FUTURE IS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. ABRIGOS WILL FOCUS ON DIVERSION AND PREVENTION.THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES A CHILD OR YOUTH WITH A VOLUNTEER ADVOCATE THAT CAN BE AN EMOTIONAL AND PRACTICAL SUPPORT AND ASSIST WITH THEIR NEEDS AS THEY NAVIGATE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS THEY MAY BE INVOLVED IN. OUR GOAL IS TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE AND GUIDE THEM ACCORDINGLY.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
