Overview

Mission

A family for every child (affec) is dedicated to finding permanent and loving adoptive families for waiting foster children. To accomplish our mission, we focus on finding loving and permanent families for children who the foster care system considers "hard to place." the children who fall into this category are usually older, ethnically diverse, part of a sibling group, or have severe physical, emotional and/or developmental challenges.

What it reported doing in 2024

The host home program serves youth ages 14-24 currently experiencing houselessness through partnership with hosts (community-based volunteers who agree to house youth for a short term stay). Hosting is not foster care. Youth choice is central to the program and youth participation in any placement is strictly voluntary. After a host is approved, hosts and youth engage in a matching process through which both parties agree to the placement. Hosts act as mentors for youth as they work to attain independent housing. Both host and youth receive direct support from the agency including financial assistance, case management, mediation, educational re-engagement, workforce readiness, job placement, and transition planning for independent housing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 71% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
