Explanation
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
NOT SAFE. OVER 250 BATTERED WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIND SANCTUARY ANNUALLY. THE SHELTER IS ALWAYS OPEN AND CAN BE REACHED BY CALLING THE CRISIS LINE. SHELTER RESIDENTS RECEIVE CLOTHING, FOOD, AND PERSONAL ITEMS. THE SHELTER HAS 30 BEDS. CASA GATEWAY TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROVIDES 14 INDIVIDUAL APARTMENTS AND AN ACTIVE PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES TRANSITIONING FROM SHELTER FOR UP TO TWO YEARS WHILE THEY REBUILD THEIR LIVES. SEVEN APARTMENTS OPENED IN 1997, SEVEN ADDITIONAL APARTMENTS OPENED IN 2000. CASA'S TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM PROVIDES A LICENSED CHILDREN'S PROGRAM TO 25+ CHILDREN EACH WEEKDAY AFTERNOON AND FULL TIME DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. ADDITIONALLY, YOUTH ADVOCATES PROVIDE ADVOCACY, EVENING YOUTH GROUPS OPPOSITE THE ADULT GROUPS, AND LESSONS IN PEACEMAKING. A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE R'CLUB, JUVENILE WELFARE BOARD AND PINELLAS COUNTY COORDINATED CHILDCARE PROVIDES CASA WITH A LICENSED CHILD CARE PROGRAM. CASA'S SPENDING RESPONDS TO A GROWING DEMAND FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. DURING 2013-2014, CASA CONTINUED TO TURN AWAY 1,400 WOMEN AND CHILDREN FROM ITS EXISTING 30 BED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER IN PINELLAS COUNTY BECAUSE WE HAD NO ROOM. UNDER THE FEDERAL AND STATE OF FLORIDA NEW MARKETS TAX CREDIT (NMTC) PROGRAM THE PAST YEAR, CASA WAS AWARDED GRANTS OF 2.5 MILLION AND 4.5 MILLION. THESE CREDITS WILL BE USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN EXPANDED 100 BED, 40,000 SQUARE FOOT SHELTER. CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY AND THE NEW SHELTER WILL BE OPEN BY JUNE 30, 2015. AS A RESULT, FUNDRAISING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES INCREASED TO MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION AND ENGAGE IN A 12 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF THE EXPANDED SHELTER. IT IS EXPECTED THAT CASA WILL SPEND APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION MORE IN PROGRAM EXPENSES ONCE THE NEW SHELTER IS FULLY OPERATIONAL. WITH THE NEW SHELTER, CASA WILL NO LONGER TURN AWAY 1,400 VICTIMS A YEAR WHO COURAGEOUSLY CALL CASA AND ARE TOLD THERE IS NO ROOM. CASA'S OUTREACH SERVICES REACH OVER 3,000 SURVIVORS EACH YEAR IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF PINELLAS COUNTY THROUGH A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS. THE VISITATION CENTER PROVIDES COURT ORDERED SUPERVISED VISITATION AND MONITORED EXCHANGES OF CHILDREN FOR RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL PARENTS. THE VISITATION CENTER PROVIDES SAFE, AFFORDABLE, SUPERVISED VISITATION AND MONITORED EXCHANGE FOR FAMILIES COURT-ORDERED INTO THE PROGRAM. REFERRALS ARE ACCEPTED FROM THE FAMILY, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND DEPENDENCY COURTS. CASA WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE PINELLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CHILD PROTECTION INVESTIGATION DIVISION TO INCREASE THE SAFETY OF ADULT AND CHILD VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HELPS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF OUT-OF-HOME CHILD PLACEMENTS DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THROUGH THE CPID (CHILD PROTECTIVE INVESTIGATION DIVISION PROGRAM). CASA'S INNOVATIVE SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM RECOGNIZES THE PERILOUS INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND BATTERING. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES DUALLY AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN CASA'S COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUPS OR PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAMS. CASA OFFERS ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT TO SURVIVORS UTILIZING THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. STAFF MEETS SURVIVORS AT THE CRIMINAL COURT TO ASSIST WITH THE COURT PROCEEDINGS. STAFF ALSO ASSISTS SURVIVORS AT THE CLERK OF COURT MAKING APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTIONS FOR PROTECTION. CASA WORKS COLLECTIVELY TO DEVELOP A COORDINATED COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. COMMUNITY-BASED WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUPS AND INDIVIDUAL CRISIS COUNSELING FOR VICTIMS NOT IN CASA'S SHELTER PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THOSE IN CRISIS. CASA PROVIDES PRESENTATIONS AND WORKSHOPS TO OVER 200 MEDIA, CIVIC, FRATERNAL, PROFESSIONAL, RELIGIOUS, SCHOOL, NEIGHBORHOOD AND OTHER GROUPS ANNUALLY. CASA'S COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM EMPHASIZES THAT "IT TAKES A WHOLE COMMUNITY TO STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE." THE PEACEMAKER PROGRAM PROVIDES HOLISTIC PEACE EDUCATION TO OVER 3,000 PRESCHOOLERS, ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN A WIDE VARIETY OF CLASSROOMS AND SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT PINELLAS COUNTY, NURTURING A SENSE OF PEACE AND JUSTICE DURING CRITICAL TIMES IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT. PEACEMAKERS ALSO PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM IN THE CLASSROOMS. NOTE REGARDING PERCENTAGE OF PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES: AS PRESENTED, PROGRAM SERVICES PERCENT IS APPROXIMATELY 75% OF TOTAL EXPENSES. THE ORGANIZATION HAS OBTAINED THE FINANCING FOR THE FEDERAL AND FLORIDA NEW MARKETS TAX CREDITS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CREDIT, THE ORGANIZATION HAS INCREASED FUNDRAISING EXPENSES FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STAFF AND COSTS IN RELATION TO A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE PROJECT. THESE EXPENSES WERE APPROXIMATELY 201,000. WHEN THIS AMOUNT IS REMOVED FROM TOTAL EXPENSES, THE PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSE PERCENT INCREASES TO 80% WHICH IS IN LINE WITH PRIOR YEARS.
