Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO ENCOURAGE THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S AFFILIATES IN CHILD PLACEMENT AND CHILD GUIDANCE SERVICES UNDER GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND IN PROVIDING A FAMILY LIVING EXPERIENCE, ALONG WITH SUPERVISION, STRUCTURE AND GUIDANCE FOR CHILDREN IN NEED OF CARE AND CHILDREN WHO ARE JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO ENCOURAGE INVOLVEMENT OF THE CORPORATION'S AFFILIATES IN CHILD PLACEMENT AND CHILD GUIDANCE SERVICES.

  • RESOURCE FOSTER CARE: WHILE THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS AND TYPES OF RESOURCE CARE WITHIN THE PROGRAM, THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS TO WORK CLOSELY WITH EACH AND EVERY RESOURCE CARE FAMILY. SOME OF THE SERVICES INCLUDE: 24 HOUR ON-CALL SOCIAL WORKER, SUPPORT MEETINGS, FREE ONGOING TRAINING, RESPITE CARE, RESOURCE PARENT LIABILITY INSURANCE. A CHILD IS PLACED IN RESOURCE CARE WHEN A COURT DETERMINES THE CHILD'S HOME LIFE IS DANGEROUS, INAPPROPRIATE, OR UNHEALTHY, OR WHEN THE CHILD'S BEHAVIORS CANNOT BE MANAGED AT HOME. MANY CHILDREN HAVE EXPERIENCED LIVES OF ABUSE AND/OR NEGLECT. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF RESOURCE CARE IS TO RESOLVE FAMILY CONFLICTS OR DISRUPTIONS AND RETURN THE CHILD TO HIS OR HER NATURAL FAMILY. IF REINTEGRATION WITH THE NATURAL FAMILY PROVES IMPOSSIBLE, CHILDREN ARE OFTEN PLACED FOR ADOPTION OR PREPARED FOR ADULTHOOD THROUGH INDEPENDENT LIVING. THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, THE RESOURCE PARENT WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE CHILD'S NATURAL FAMILY AND CHILD WELFARE PROFESSIONALS TO ENSURE THAT THE CHILD HAS A CHANCE TO BLOSSOM AS A HEALTHY, WELL-ADJUSTED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. RESOURCE FAMILIES PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE HOME LIKE SETTING FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO SAFELY LIVE WITH THEIR PARENTS. RESOURCE PARENTS UNDERGO TRAINING AND STATE LICENSURE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE SPECIAL CHALLENGES CHILDREN WHO ARE PLACED WITH THEM MIGHT FACE, AND TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SKILLS TO WORK WITH THE CHILD, THE CHILD'S FAMILY, THE SOCIAL WORKER OR CASE MANAGER, AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM. THE FAMILY INITIATIVE, INC. PROVIDES SPONSORSHIP FOR STATE LICENSED RESOURCE FAMILIES, AND PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO ASSIST THEM WITH ANY PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES THAT MIGHT OCCUR DURING THE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A HOME. DURING THIS PERIOD THERE WERE 224 RESOURCE HOMES, WITH A DAILY AVERAGE OF 260 CHILDREN IN THE HOMES THAT WERE SPONSORED BY THE FAMILY INITIATIVE, INC.

    Expenses $105,258,881 · Revenue $118,895,211

  • RESIDENTIAL & INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICE: THE PSYCHIATRIC RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY (PRTF) WORKS ACTIVELY WITH FAMILIES, CHILD WELFARE AGENCIES, HOSPITALS, AND COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS, IN COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP, TO OFFER STRENGTHS-BASED, CULTURALLY COMPETENT, AND MEDICALLY APPROPRIATE TREATMENT DESIGNED TO MEET THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THE RESIDENT, INCLUDING THOSE RESIDENTS IDENTIFIED WITH SEVERE EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR ISSUES. THE TEENS REACHING ADULT INDEPENDENT LIVING (TRAIL) PROGRAM ASSISTS YOUNG PEOPLE NAVIGATE WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE A VERY COMPLICATED PATH FROM ADOLESCENCE TO ADULTHOOD FOR CHILDREN PREPARING TO AGE OUT OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. DURING THIS PERIOD ON AVERAGE 32 YOUTH WERE SERVED EACH MONTH BY THE PRTF AND 8 YOUTH WERE SERVED EACH MONTH BY TRAIL.

    Expenses $18,180,144 · Revenue $12,136,799

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
