Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:
GROUNDED IN A WHOLE-PERSON APPROACH, WHICH WE CALL PATHMAKING, GREYSTON FOUNDATION, A PIONEER IN SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, CREATES JOBS AND PROVIDES INTEGRATED PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO MOVE FORWARD ON THEIR PATH TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. IN THE 1980S, ROSHI BERNIE GLASSMAN, NOW AN INTERNATIONALLY-ACCLAIMED AMERICAN BUDDHIST SOCIAL ACTIVIST, RECOGNIZED THAT EMPLOYMENT IS THE GATEWAY OUT OF POVERTY AND TOWARDS SELF-SUFFICIENCY. IN RESPONSE, HE OPENED THE GREYSTON BAKERY TO PROVIDE JOBS FOR HARD-TO-EMPLOY ADULTS. HE DECLARED AN OPEN DOOR HIRING POLICY, WHICH OFFERS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES REGARDLESS OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, WORK HISTORY, OR PAST SOCIAL BARRIERS, SUCH AS INCARCERATION, HOMELESSNESS OR DRUG USE. OUT OF THIS HIRING POLICY A NEW AND LARGER MISSION GREW. LOW-INCOME APARTMENTS WERE THEN BUILT FOR THE FORMERLY HOMELESS TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR BAKERY WORKERS AND THEIR PEERS. SOON AFTER, GREYSTON CHILD CARE CENTER WAS FOUNDED TO ENSURE THAT A LACK OF HIGH-QUALITY, LOW COST CHILD CARE WAS NEVER A BARRIER TO WORK FOR TENANTS AND BAKERY EMPLOYEES. AS THE AIDS EPIDEMIC SPREAD, GREYSTON RESPONDED BY OPENING ISSAN HOUSE AND THE MAITRI CENTER - HOUSING AND ADULT DAY HEALTH SERVICES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS. GROWING AWARENESS OF HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT PROMPTED THE CREATION OF THE COMMUNITY GARDENS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. MOST RECENTLY, IN RESPONSE TO THE RECESSION, WHICH DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED POOR YONKERS RESIDENTS, GREYSTON LAUNCHED WD 2.0, A COMPREHENSIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. WHAT ORIGINALLY BEGAN AS A MODEST BAKERY HAS GROWN INTO A BROAD ARRAY OF RESULTS-ORIENTED EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES DESIGNED TO RESPOND TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF YONKERS RESIDENTS. TODAY, GREYSTON SERVES OVER 2,200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ANNUALLY. MOST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES AND HOW THEY ARE TIED INTO MISSION -2012 MARKS 30 YEARS SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE GREYSTON BAKERY. -IN 2012, GREYSTON TURNED ITS SIGHTS TO INVESTING IN AND REINVIGORATING OUR MISSION. AS PART OF OUR MOVE TO A MORE OUTCOME DRIVEN ORGANIZATION, WE HAVE DERIVED A SET OF METRICS THAT CLEARLY SHOW OUR IMPACT ON THE GREATER COMMUNITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS INITIATIVE WAS TO BRING INTO FOCUS HOW WE CAN ACHIEVE THE GREATEST IMPACT THROUGH OUR EFFORTS, AND IDENTIFY THE PARTNERS THAT WE ARE BEST ABLE TO ALIGN WITH TO ACHIEVE BROADER SOCIETAL GOALS. -THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, GREYSTON HAS BEEN A LEADER IN ADDRESSING POVERTY THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION. THIS LEADERSHIP CONTINUES TO THIS DAY - AS IN RECOGNITION OF ITS SOCIALLY ENGAGED ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO ADDRESS URBAN POVERTY, GREYSTON WAS THE FIRST "B" CORPORATION (A NEW TYPE OF CORPORATION WHICH USES THE POWER OF BUSINESS TO SOLVE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS) TO BE INCORPORATED IN NEW YORK STATE. -THE PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IS ESSENTIAL TO HELPING THEM ACHIEVE SELF-SUFFICIENCY. GREYSTON PROVIDES AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR 522 INDIVIDUALS IN NEARLY 300 UNITS OF IN OUR PORTFOLIO. IN 2012, WE OPENED A NEW $32 MILLION MULTIFAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN YONKERS WITH 92 MODERN, ENERGY EFFICIENT APARTMENTS FOR LOCAL WORKING FAMILIES. GREYSTON IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A 59 UNIT NEW CONSTRUCTION AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT IN THE HOLLOWS COMMUNITY OF YONKERS SLATED FOR OCCUPANCY IN 2015. -BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS OF THE BAKERY'S HIRING POLICIES, GREYSTON HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND NOW TRAINS UPWARDS OF 100 INDIVIDUALS EVERY YEAR IN A WIDE VARIETY OF FIELDS.
