Overview

Mission

The specific purpose of this corporation is to operate a licensed private foster family agency.

What it reported doing in 2019

Safe Harbor Family Services, Inc. recruits and trains adults to be qualified foster parents. When local counties, with whom the agency has established a working relationship, have the need to place children into foster care, they will refer such placements to the agency to find an appropriate match. When the agency identifies a suitable home for the child, the placement will be made, and the agency's role changes from placement to supervision. An agency social worker is assigned to each home and monitors the child's development and progress. The social worker develops and supervises the implementation of the needs and services plan for each child. Progress is noted and reported to the county that referred the child.

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 87% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
