PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
PART III
LINE 4A - Child and Youth Services Services Family Tree serves children and adolescents who have been abused or neglected and are not safe in their homes and youth who are homeless on the streets or have run away from home. Family Tree also serves youth who are at risk of being removed from their homes due to behavioral problems. In fiscal 2012/13, Family Tree Child and Youth Services provided face-to-face, direct services to 6,211 individuals. Family Tree also provided assistance via crisis information lines to another 4,373 individuals/families. Family Tree's Gemini Adolescent Treatment Center provides shelter, counseling, and education for youth ages 11-17 who have been abused, neglected, in family conflict, have runaway or are homeless. Family Tree Gemini provided 4,465 nights of shelter and services to 216 youth, including 132 runaway and homeless youth. 95% of the runaway and homeless youth served were reunified with their families or placed in other appropriate living situations. Family Tree Gemini staff made 3,284 contacts with homeless and runaway youth through street outreach in Jefferson, Adams and Boulder Counties. Additionally, they assisted 4,373 youth and adults via the 24-hour information/referral hotline and gave 82 educational presentations on runaway issues to 2,298 students in middle and high schools and to 320 members of local civic and community groups. In addition, Family Tree's Community Family Resource Team provided individual and family therapy, case management and crisis intervention for 59 at-risk youth in order to divert them from future out-of-home placement and the child welfare system. 75.5% of youth served were successfully able to remain in the home. Subsequent event: During 2013 Colorado counties' utilization of the Gemini program changed considerably, resulting in far fewer children being placed at the program. Consequently, the decline in revenue associated with the decrease in children placed in the program reached a level that was no longer sustainable, and management did not believe would become sustainable. Therefore to remain a strong, stable and fiscally responsible organization Family Tree made the very difficult, but necessary decision to close the Family Tree Gemini program, effective January of 2014. LINE 4B - Housing and Family Stabilization Services Family Tree helps adult individuals, youth, and families who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness, or are experiencing economic and family instability to obtain the supportive services they need to address immediate issues, sustain or improve their self-sufficiency, and obtain safe, stable housing. Family Tree assists persons who have very low to no income and are working toward goals to increase their self-sufficiency as well as military families, veterans and families who are caring for family members who are not their own children when parents are unable to do so. In fiscal 2012/13, Family Tree Housing and Family Stabilization Services provided direct services to 2,198 individuals and assistance via crisis hotlines/information phone lines to 6,618 individuals/families. In fiscal 2012/13 at House of Hope, a residential shelter for homeless women and their children, Family Tree provided 9,773 nights of shelter and support services for 87 women and 161 children and responded to 1,541 crisis line/information calls. 30.6% of the families who exited House of Hope moved into stable housing. Additionally, in fiscal 2012/13, Family Tree provided housing and client centered case management to 358 families in Family Tree's Homeless Programs, and provided limited case management and housing assistance to 1,333 families and individuals. These programs also provided resource and referral information to 5,077 families via the crisis helpline. 100% of the clients in these programs developed personal plans and goals to help them achieve self-sufficiency. 57% of the families who exited these programs increased their education and/or job experience and moved toward self-sufficiency and 82% were in permanent housing at the time of exit. Family Tree's Military/Veteran and Kinship Family Programs provide a range of services to improve the stability of military families, veterans and families with children in the custody of relative caretakers. These programs provide support and resources such as case management, home visits, short-term immediate interventions, financial supportive services and information and referrals. In fiscal 2012/13, Family Tree provided home visits, case management services and financial resources to 131 families through the Adams County TANF Stable Families Program, to 67 families through the Arapahoe County Kinship/Family Stability Program, and to 21 families through the Douglas County Kinship Program. Family Tree also provided assistance to 21 military families through the Arapahoe County Military Family Assistance Program. LINE 4C - Domestic Violence Services Family Tree serves adult and child victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking; families who have experienced the break-up of their homes through divorce or separation, and children who have witnessed family violence and/or have experienced abuse in their homes. In fiscal 2012/13, Family Tree Domestic Violence Services provided direct, face to face services to 2,859 individuals and provided assistance via crisis hotlines/information phone lines to 13,059 individuals/families. In fiscal 2012/13 at the Women in Crisis shelter, Family Tree provided 8,670 nights of safe shelter and supportive services, including advocacy, support groups, community education and an on-site health clinic, to 290 women and 199 children and responded to 2,552 crisis calls. Family Tree's Legal Advocacy Program assisted 968 victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking and responded to 3,410 hotline calls. 79% of those surveyed reported an increase in knowledge of safety strategies and 83% reported increased knowledge of community resources. In fiscal 2012/13, Family Tree's Parenting Time Program served a total of 1,379 people, facilitated 3,781 supervised visits and conducted 2,929 safe exchanges. The program also served 194 parents in Parenting Through Divorce classes. Family Tree's Outreach and Education Program served 238 women and children in domestic violence support groups, individual and family counseling sessions. The program also responded to a total of 3,396 information and referral calls.
PROCESS TO REVIEW THE FORM 990
PART VI, LINE 11B
The form 990 is reviewed in detail by Family Tree's Finance & Audit Committee. It is provided electronically to all members of the Board of directors before it is filed and an overview is provided to the Board by the Treasurer who chairs the Audit and Finance Committee.
PROCESS FOR MONITORING COMPLIANCE WITH CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
PART VI, LINE 12C
Family Tree's Conflict of Interest policy applies to any Director, Officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers. The policy provides any potential conflict must be disclosed to the Board before a transaction is entered. The Board will determine if a conflict exists and how to address it. An individual with a conflict shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. Annually, each Officer and Director signs an affirmation that they have reviewed the board approved conflict of Interest policy and have not engaged in any activity in conflict with this policy.
REVIEW OF CEO AND OTHER OFFICERS COMPENSATION
PART VI, LINE 15A & 15B
Family Tree has a compensation program and philosophy, which includes using a salary schedule based upon current market values of all positions. The human resources committee of the board reviews and provides input on the salary schedule. The CEO approves the salary schedule for all positions except CEO and CFO. The chair of the human resources committee, who also serves on the board of directors, takes the schedule to the board of directors for final approval by the board of the salary schedule for the CEO and CFO. The salary schedule for all positions, including the CEO and CFO, is reviewed at least every two years by conducting a comprehensive salary schedule review against applicable market surveys. This review was last undertaken in June 2013. The deliberation and discussions are appropriately documented in the board minutes. Compensation is initially set based on the salary schedule and subsequent increases are established based on performance evaluations and must remain within the range established in the salary schedule. Performance evaluations are completed by each employee's supervisor. The performance evaluation of the CEO is completed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors with input from the full Board.
HOW GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC
PART VI, LINE 19
Financial statements are made available to the public online via Guidestar, Dun & Bradstreet and the Family Tree website. Summarized financial information is also available in Family Tree's annual report which is distributed to donors and made available to the public on Family Tree's website, www.thefamilytree.org.
