Overview

Mission

To provide support for growth, learning, development, and greater independence.

What it reported doing in 2018

Supported employment program (ses): increased the number of people securing employment in the community at or above minimum wage. The number of businesses that contacted us and that we were able to place workers with has gone up again this year. This continued increase from previous years shows that the support services we provide to both the employee and employer and the level of actual work performed is exceeding expectations. We are continuing to encourage more workers to enter this service and increase the number of employers taking them on. The program supports growing number of work crews providing services in community businesses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
