  • Program 1 [2024]

    HOMESTRETCH IS PLEASED TO SHARE THAT DURING FY23-24, WE MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN ADVANCING OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHILE EMPOWERING FAMILIES TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE AND LONG-TERM STABILITY. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE INCREASED OUR HOUSING UNIT OCCUPANCY FROM 60% TO 97%, ALLOWING US TO DELIVER OUTCOMES-BASED SERVICES TO OVER 91 INDIVIDUALS IN OUR HOUSING PROGRAM AND NAVIGATIONAL SERVICES TO 840 INDIVIDUALS, FOR A TOTAL OF 931 PEOPLE SERVED. THIS GROWTH IN OCCUPANCY, UP FROM 69% TO 97%, WAS ACHIEVED THROUGH EFFICIENT PROGRAM TRANSITIONS AND DILIGENT MANAGEMENT OF UNIT TURNOVER, ENSURING MORE FAMILIES COULD ACCESS SAFE, STABLE HOUSING.THROUGH EFFICIENT PROGRAM TRANSITIONS AND PROACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF UNIT TURNOVER, MORE FAMILIES ACCESSED THE STABILITY THEY NEED TO PURSUE BRIGHTER FUTURES. THE OUTCOMES-BASED PROGRAM MODEL PRODUCED STRONG, MEASURABLE RESULTS:-68% OF CLIENTS BOOSTED THEIR WAGES BY AN AVERAGE OF $2.28 PER HOUR, GENERATING A COLLECTIVE ANNUAL WAGE INCREASE OF $71,136.-63% OF CLIENTS IMPROVED THEIR CREDIT SCORES BY MORE THAN 50 POINTS, WITH THE HIGHEST REACHING 735.-CLIENTS COLLECTIVELY SAVED $38,912, WITH 96% ACTIVELY WORKING TOWARD THE GOAL OF SAVING THREE MONTHS' LIVING EXPENSES.CHILDREN'S PROGRAMMING ALSO ACHIEVED SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. AFTER PARTICIPATING IN THE SUMMER ENRICHMENT INITIATIVE, THE PERCENTAGE OF YOUTH PERFORMING AT GRADE LEVEL INCREASED FROM 24% TO 53%. ALL PARTICIPANTS IMPROVED THEIR MATH OR READING GRADES BY AN AVERAGE OF 7 POINTS DURING THE SUBSEQUENT SCHOOL YEAR, WHILE CLASSROOM BEHAVIORAL ISSUES DROPPED SHARPLY FROM 50% TO JUST 8%.THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM EXPERIENCED ROBUST GROWTH, EXPANDING FROM 209 TO 588 VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTRIBUTED OVER 1,821 HOURS IN ADMINISTRATIVE AND DIRECT CLIENT SERVICES AND 2,006 HOURS IN PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND HOUSING TRANSITIONS.THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS UNDERSCORE HOMESTRETCH'S COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH-PROVIDING FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WITH THE FINANCIAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND SOCIAL RESOURCES NECESSARY FOR LASTING SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SUCCESS. BY TRANSLATING DATA INTO COMPELLING OUTCOMES AND FOCUSING ON TANGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS, HOMESTRETCH DEMONSTRATES ITS VITAL ROLE IN BUILDING STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES.
