Mission and programs · 2023

• The Permanent Supporting Housing (PSH) Program - The PSH program provides long-term housing and case management to individuals who were chronically homeless and have disabling conditions. Clients receive assistance with transportation, budgeting, and activities of daily living, enabling them to achieve stability. In FY24, 91% of PSH clients maintained their housing. 466 people have been housed to date.

  Expenses $2,034,050

• Homeless Services Center (HSC) - The HSC is a 24/7, 365-day facility offering comprehensive services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Our programs include Street Outreach, Shelter Program, Medical Respite Program, Medical Services and Day Program. Through Street Outreach, teams provide essential items, such as food and clothing, while engaging with unsheltered individuals to build trust and connect them to services. The Shelter Program includes 50 year-round beds, 5 medical respite beds, and 25 additional beds during Hypothermia Season (November-March). In FY24, the shelter provided 22,100 bed nights to 281 clients. The Day Program offers access to meals, showers, laundry facilities, and case management, as well as referrals for medical and mental health services. Our Meal Service Program distributed 38,739 meals in FY24 through the shelter, day program, and outreach efforts. Medical Services are provided onsite care at the HSC and through the Mobile Medical Program (MMP), which together delivered 1,211 medical visits in FY24 to 165 unique individuals.Homeless Services Center (HSC) - The HSC revolutionizes homeless services by housing all of the programs in one facility so that clients can access services at one central location, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. Our programs include Street Outreach, Shelter Program, Medical Services, and Day Program. PathForward's services start with Street Outreach, as staff seek out homeless people living on the streets. Staff distribute items such as blankets, food, water, and socks while we encourage people to visit the HSC. The Shelter Program is available your-round and provides up to 50 shelter beds, 5 medical respite beds, and 25 additional beds during Hypothermia Season (November through March). Within the Center, clients can access showers, laundry, receive three meals a day and can meet with case managers. 29,850 meals are served annually through the HSC. PathForward provides free Medical Services for homeless Arlington residents at the HSC and through the Mobile Medical Program which meets clients on the streets. The Medical Respite program provides 5 beds for patients who require additional recovery after discharge from the hospital or undergoing extreme treatments such as cancer. Our medical team assists in over 810 medical visits annually. The Day Program provides low barrier access to case management, medical care, eviction prevention, referrals for medical and mental health services, and important resources like showers, laundry, three meals per day and clean clothing.

• The Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP) and Rapid Re-housing Program (RRH) began in October 2009 through funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The aim of the program is to prevent people who are facing homelessness from reaching the streets or to rapidly re-house those who are already homeless. By limiting the time someone spends on the street, it reduces their exposure to risk factors such as deteriorating health, and decreases their chance of becoming chronically homeless. Clients meet with the RRH Case Manager at the Homeless Services Center. The Program's Housing Locator helps service providers throughout Arlington County locate housing and place their clients into it.

• Sibert House - During 2019, PathForward purchased real estate property in Arlington, Virginia. The building has capacity to house 8 individuals who do not otherwise qualify for government subsidies. Sibert House provides a foundation that helps clients achieve better health, overcome substance abuse and mental illness, obtain job security, and so much more. Sibert House is PathForward's bold new step that provides Arlington with a housing solution for its most vulnerable - those homeless individuals who require the most oversight, additional onsite care, and a dedicated apartment building where this type of enhanced support can transition people from Streets to Stability.

• PathForward is very focused on healthcare equity. The Mobile Medical Program (MMP) delivers free medical care to people who are street homeless. The COVID - 19 Pandemic underscored the importance of providing access to free healthcare for our community's most vulnerable, whose medical conditions can rapidly deteriorate until they become crises, and access to medical care can be the difference between life and death. The MMP brings together an outreach case manager (CM) and Registered Nurse (RN) who go together to overpasses, bridges, woods, etc. where people live. The CM regularly conducts street outreach to deliver food, water, socks, clothing, blankets, and personal care items. The RN has a "medical backpack" containing items needed to check blood pressure and other vitals, treat wounds and skin conditions, test and/or vaccinate for COVID-19, test blood glucose levels, and administer and teach others to administer NARCAN for opioid overdose. We can also provide over-the-counter medications and deliver prescriptions. We quickly realized that the MMP had to do more to meet behavioral health needs. In FY23 we allocated funding toward a part-time Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to provide mental health care, specifically focused on trauma, to all clients we serve. In FY24, we have increased this position to full-time. While people experiencing homelessness have always been in need of mental health services, this need increased during the pandemic. Mental health therapy for underserved populations became harder to access. Many providers do not see uninsured and Medicaid patients. Even for self-pay and insured patients, waiting lists are long. It is difficult to house someone with an untreated mental illness, and it is even harder to keep them housed. Unsheltered people are not likely to schedule and keep appointments for mental health care. Once a person finds themselves living on the streets, a mental health condition can rapidly deteriorate until it becomes a crisis. Too often, this results in police intervention and emergency room visits. It is our goal to increase the capacity of the MMP to full-time with a team of three including the RN, CM, and LCSW during 2024.

• Transitional Housing provides up to 24 months of temporary, non-congregate emergency housing for individuals with high service needs and those experiencing unsheltered homelessness. This program emphasizes low-barrier access, client-driven services, and assertive engagement. Participants receive tailored case management and are connected to income opportunities and support services for long-term housing stability. As clients build skills, income, and linkages to resources, rental assistance is gradually stepped down.

As filed on the 2023 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. 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.
