| Part VI Section B Policies 13 and 14 | ATC is in the process of developing written whisteblower and document rentention and destruction policies. | |
| Part V 1(a) 2(a) and Part VII Section A | During the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, ATC was under the fiscal sponsorship of Community Initiatives. As such, CI performed the payroll function and remitted Forms 1096, W-3, and the federal employment tax filings. | |
| Initial Form 990 | ATC operated from November 21, 1997 to April 16, 2011 as a project of Community Initiatives (formerly CIF of the San Francisco Foundation), and thus conducted its activities under the umbrella of CI. Upon obtaining its tax-exempt status, ATC began conducting activities under its own corporate entity, and exited from under the CI umbrella. | |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11 | Form 990, Part VI, Line 11: Form 990 Review Process | The draft of the Form 990 is first reviewed by Rob Gitin, Director and Co-Founder and Tori Talavera Associate Director. The draft is then forwarded to the Board of Directors prior to the Board meeting for their review. Any comments, questions, and proposed changes are discussed during the Board meeting. The Board of Directors then appoints one of its members to work with management to finalize the Form 990 prior to filing. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | Form 990, Part III, Line 4d : Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Street Outreach: Our work begins with our counseling-based street outreach. Three nights a week, ATC counselors walk the streets of the Downtown and Mission neighborhoods of San Francisco. When they first meet youth on street outreach, counselors offer youth basic survival supplies in a manner that meets them on their terms. In the process of receiving supplies such as socks, hygiene items, and food, youth begin to build trust in the counselors and see for themselves how counselors can offer opportunities and support they can use to meet their personal goals. Sometimes youth talk to us right away. Other times, we might see a young person twenty or thirty times before she trusts us enough to stop and talk. Over time, youth slowly open up to us. A relationship that begins with an exchange of supplies develops into a supportive bridge upon which youth can begin to take their own steps towards creating a healthier life for themselves. One-to-one Meetings: Some of our counseling relationships develop and unfold entirely on the streets. Yet many times, a relationship requires time and space beyond outreach, and we meet with youth one-on-one during the daytime. Our individual counseling meetings take place in a safe place of the young person's choosing. During these meetings, we work more intensively with youth, continuing the conversations begun on outreach, and helping them to tackle new issues. Our holistic counseling approach addresses our clients as whole people, not as a collection of problems and challenges. We work with every young person on the streets for as long as they want, regardless of the decisions they are making. This long-term, consistent support often has a dramatic impact on how our clients feel about their lives and what the future has to offer. We use the strengths and accomplishments of our clients as building blocks with which we develop tools and opportunities that help them achieve their goals. It is during these meetings that our clients identify their goals, develop realistic plans to achieve those goals, and begin creating the lives they want. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Collaboration: As our clients begin to move forward in their lives, At The Crossroads recognizes the importance of providing youth with detailed referrals to other social service agencies that can best fit their needs. We are working with a broad network of 40-60 collaborating agencies, including health centers and employment, drug rehabilitation, and housing programs, that will provide our clients with the greatest chance possible of achieving their goals. Through our network, we refer youth to services that suit their individual needs and personalities. Our referrals do not consist of simply writing down a name and address. The hardest-to-reach street youth often need to feel safe and respected, as well as develop their own sense of self-worth, before they feel ready to put forth the energy and time accessing a service requires. We will work to prepare youth for an initial intake appointment; if they wish, we will accompany them to such appointments, and help them with any required paperwork. We continue to work with the agencies we refer our clients to, in order to ensure that youth are being served in a way that respects them and their life choices. Community Education: Along with enhancing our clients' understanding of existing services, ATC also educates the community for the improvement of these services and the creation of new ones that ensure our clients are able to meet their needs in the most efficient and respectful ways possible. In Spring 2008, the Mayor's Transition-Aged Youth Task Force published 16 recommendations for the city on how to improve the continuum of care for these youth, including creating 400 units of housing for homeless and marginally housed 16-24 year olds by 2012. ATC played a leadership role in this task force, becoming the chair of the Community Services workgroup, and is now part of the Mayor's Office of Housing committee working on implementing the housing recommendation. We are also part of the executive committee advising Rachel Antrobus, Department of Children Youth and their Families' director of Transition Age Youth. This group is guiding the direction that the city will take in upcoming years to meet the needs of disconnected young people. We are thrilled with the city's commitment to this population, and are excited to participate in this process of giving every young person in San Francisco real opportunities to improve their lives. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Plans for the FutureThrough evaluations of our program, we found that a small subset of our clients are struggling to achieve their goals, and are having a hard time being able to meet with us consistently. These are our hardest-to-reach youth. They are so deeply immersed in survival activities, and so deeply entrenched in the streets, that it is nearly impossible to make meetings even 24 hours in the future.In order to reach these youth, we need to add a new component to our model. We want to create a daytime street-based one-to-one counseling program. It would allow us to identify these hardest-to-reach youth through our outreach relationships with them, create a priority list, and specifically focus on deepening our relationships with them. We would find them during the daytime, wherever they like to hang out, and offer to meet with them and take them out for a bite right on the spot, with no waiting time. We would use this as an opportunity to get to know them better, and to open up dialogue about their lives. Our experience shows us that once we start meeting individually with youth, we are able to help them achieve their goals. Over the next year, we will focus on developing specific strategies and details for this program, and on trying to secure funding. We hope to be able to launch it in early 2013.We would also like to be able to expand our nighttime street outreach into other neighborhoods in San Francisco. We want to be in every neighborhood where there is a critical mass of homeless youth who are not getting consistent support in their lives. We have heard from both our clients, and from other CBOs, that our work would be valued in other areas of the city. When we have the financial resources, we will conduct evaluative outreach in at least two different neighborhoods, in order to determine the part of the city in which we would be of the most service. The soonest we would expand in this way would be 2014.We would also like to significantly expand the training and technical assistance component of our collaboration. We want to be able to provide sliding scale support to all organizations in the Bay Area that work with homeless youth, want to work with homeless youth, or have the potential to work with them. This would include adult programs that have the occasional 20-year-old walk through the door, youth programs that don't target homeless youth, but occasionally encounter them, and other types of organizations. We want to support them in an individualized way, where we cater the training and technical assistance to meet the organization's specific needs and goals. We have done this for a few places, but would like to significantly expand it and aggressively promote it. We aim to start doing this in the next 12 months. |
