Overview
Mission
California human development is a private, federally recognized 501(c)3 organization and we exist to create paths and opportunities for people to rise above barriers in their pursuit of better lives throughout our northern California 31-county service area. The programs administered by California human development all center on the principle of creating paths and opportunities for those seeking greater self-sufficiency, independence and dignity for themselves and their families. This is accomplished through a multitude of advocacy, conservation, education, housing, training and other essential services.
What it reported doing in 2024
Farmworker services - as part of the workforce innovation and opportunity act, we provide job training and placement to low-income migrant and seasonal farmworkers throughout northern California. We have provided this service since 1967 and have placed thousands of farmworkers into permanent, non-seasonal jobs. We also operate three training centers that provide hands-on vocational training in areas such as truck driving, welding, and construction. Our primary partners in this effort are the u.s. Department of labor, america's job centers of California, la cooperativa campesina de California, the many employers who hire our trainees, and numerous local non-profit and public partners that help ensure that our services are effective and holistic. Additionally, we are interested in supporting training initiatives that will help customers start their own businesses including microenterprise development. We begin our relationship with clients by asking what their individual desires and needs are; we then develop a support plan to reach these goals. We ensure that individuals, and where relevant their family members, are fully engaged as active participants in developing personalized career plans that reflect their vocational interests.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 85% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
