Return Reference	Explanation
Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission:	BUILDING CHANGES IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CONDUCTING ACTIVITIES IN WASHINGTON STATE. BUILDING CHANGES BELIEVES EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON CAN BE STABLY HOUSED AND STRENGTHENS THE LEADERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND SYSTEMS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE. BUILDING CHANGES' FOCUS IS ON YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES AND ITS REACH IS STATEWIDE. BUILDING CHANGES' GOALS ARE TO MAKE YOUTH AND FAMILY HOMELESSNESS: (1) RARE: FEWER PARENTS, CHILDREN, OR YOUNG ADULTS EVER BECOME HOMELESS, (2) BRIEF: THE NUMBER OF DAYS ANYONE IS HOMELESS IS FEW, (3) NON-RECURRING: THOSE WHO ONCE WERE HOMELESS NEVER BECOME HOMELESS AGAIN. BUILDING CHANGES' VALUES ARE INTEGRITY, EQUITY, COLLABORATION, AND RESULTS. BUILDING CHANGES' APPROACH: BUILDING CHANGES STRENGTHENS THE HOMELESS CRISIS RESPONSE, SO ALL PEOPLE ARE TREATED FAIRLY AND ALL SERVICES ARE DELIVERED EFFECTIVELY. WE BELIEVE THAT BY IMPROVING THE SYSTEMS THAT SERVE THE HOMELESS, COMMUNITIES CAN MAKE MORE EFFICIENT USE OF THEIR RESOURCES - AND ULTIMATELY, TRANSFORM LIVES. WE HELP MAKE IMPORTANT SHIFTS NOW, CHANGES THAT HELP PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY, WHILE WE TACKLE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE OVER THE LONGER TERM. BUILDING CHANGES IS A DRIVER FOR INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES THAT HELP PEOPLE MAINTAIN STABLE HOUSING; A PARTNER WITH NONPROFITS, PRIVATE SECTOR, PHILANTHROPY AND GOVERNMENT TO MAKE HOMELESSNESS RARE, BRIEF AND NON-RECURRING; A PROMOTER OF BEST PRACTICE THROUGH CAPACITY BUILDING, GRANTMAKING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND EVALUATION; AN ADVOCATE FOR POLICY AND FUNDING CHANGES TO GARNER THE BEST USE OF SCARCE RESOURCES; AN AGENT FOR BUILDING A FAIR AND EFFECTIVE SYSTEM THAT SERVES PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS OR STRUGGLING TO REMAIN HOUSED; A FACILITATOR OF CROSS-SYSTEMS ALIGNMENT SO THAT CRISIS DOESN'T COLLAPSE INTO HOMELESSNESS; AND A LEARNING ORGANIZATION FOR IMPROVING PRACTICE AND EFFECTIVENESS IN OUR FIELD BUILDING CHANGES' VISION: EVERYONE HAS A HOME AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A HEALTHY, FULFILLING LIFE.
Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission Continued:	NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2015: ENGINEERING AN EFFECTIVE HOMELESS CRISIS RESPONSE FOR FAMILIES: IN 2015, BUILDING CHANGES CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT, TEST AND EVALUATE PILOT PROJECTS TO IMPACT FAMILY HOMELESSNESS, DRAWING A CLEARER PICTURE OF THE STRATEGIES THAT WORK BEST. AS A RESULT, BUILDING CHANGES CAN IDENTIFY THE MAKINGS AND MARKINGS OF A PROMISING SYSTEM FOR RESPONDING TO FAMILY HOMELESSNESS. ELEMENTS OF THIS EMERGING SYSTEM INCLUDE: COORDINATED ENTRY: HOMELESS FAMILIES ACCESS THE RIGHT INTERVENTIONS, SIMPLY. (1) STREAMLINES ACCESS TO SERVICES OR HOUSING FOR FAMILIES. (2) BETTER MATCHES FAMILIES WITH JUST THE SUPPORT THEY NEED. (3) SOURCE OF DATA FOR A COMMUNITY TO DETERMINE WHICH SERVICES ARE MOST IN DEMAND. (4) BEFORE COORDINATED ENTRY, HOMELESS FAMILIES HAD TO MAKE A MEDIAN OF 45 TO 50 CALLS TO ACCESS HELP. NOW, FAMILIES MAKE ONE CALL. DIVERSION, RAPID RE-HOUSING, AND EMPLOYMENT: HOMELESS FAMILIES MOVE QUICKLY INTO THEIR OWN HOUSING, AND CAN SUPPORT THEMSELVES THERE. (1) DIVERSION OFFERS A COMBINATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, HOUSING SEARCH SERVICES, MEDIATION AND CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING. (2) RAPID RE-HOUSING CONNECTS PARENTS TO EMPLOYMENT AND SHORT-TERM RENTAL SUBSIDIES. EMPLOYMENT PROMOTES FAMILIES' LONGTERM STABILITY THROUGH CONNECTIONS TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. (3) PILOTS SHOW THAT THESE APPROACHES WORK MORE QUICKLY, REDUCING THE TRAUMA THAT KIDS AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCE WHILE HOMELESS. KING COUNTY'S DIVERSION PILOT SERVED 450 FAMILIES WITHIN A MEDIAN TIME FRAME OF 40 DAYS, AND 62 PERCENT OF THE FAMILIES WERE STABLY HOUSED. (4) 65% OF FAMILIES ENROLLED IN KING COUNTY RAPID RE-HOUSING PILOT FOUND STABLE HOUSING IN AN AVERAGE OF THREE MONTHS. PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING: HOMELESS FAMILIES WHO STRUGGLE THE MOST, RECEIVE THE INTENSIVE SERVICES THEY NEED WITHIN A STABLE HOME. (1) PRIORITIZES CHRONICALLY HOMELESS FAMILIES AND FAMILIES THAT FACE MULTIPLE BARRIERS TO OBTAINING STABLE HOUSING, SUCH AS DISABILITY, MENTAL ILLNESS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, OR ONGOING HEALTH PROBLEMS. (2) OFFERS LONG-TERM SUPPORT AND ACCESS TO SERVICES IN A SAFE, STABLE SETTING. (3) A STUDY OF PROGRAMS IN COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE REVEALS THAT FAMILIES WHO STAYED IN SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR AT LEAST 12 MONTHS EXPERIENCED GAINS IN EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME, AS WELL AS DECREASED DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE. YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS: IN 2015, BUILDING CHANGES BEGAN WORKING ON BEHALF OF YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. AS A NEW ENTRANT IN THE AREA OF YOUTH HOMELESSNESS, BUILDING CHANGES' FIRST STEP WAS LISTENING TO EXPERTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE THEMSELVES TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY. AS A RESULT, BUILDING CHANGES AWARDED $1.6 MILLION IN GRANTS STATEWIDE TO ENGAGE THE EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT SYSTEMS, SO THEY CAN MORE EFFECTIVELY SERVE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. THE GRANTS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP THESE YOUNG PEOPLE SECURE JOBS, CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION, AND MAINTAIN STABLE HOUSING. ADDRESSING RACIAL DISPARITIES AND DISPROPORTIONALITY: BUILDING CHANGES KNOWS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES OF COLOR ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS THAN THEIR PEERS, AND BEGAN WORK TO ADDRESS THESE DISPARITIES IN 2015. (1) WITH INCREASED OUTREACH AND FOCUS, BUILDING CHANGES ATTRACTED MORE GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE YOUTH OF COLOR AND YOUTH WHO IDENTIFY AS LESBIAN, BISEXUAL, GAY, TRANSGENDER, AND QUESTIONING ("LGBTQ"). (2) BUILDING CHANGES TRAINED PUBLIC FUNDERS TO MAKE THEIR GRANTS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO GROUPS THAT PRIMARILY SERVE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. (3) BUILDING CHANGES IS LEADING A WORKGROUP OF NONPROFITS TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS THE GAPS IN SERVICES THAT CAN EASILY LEAD TO HOMELESSNESS FOR IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE FAMILIES. (4) IN KING COUNTY, BUILDING CHANGES LED THE EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT RACIAL EQUITY IS EMBEDDED IN THE COUNTY'S REFRESHED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO END YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT HOMELESSNESS. PUTTING MEASUREMENT AND LEARNING FRONT AND CENTER: THE ADAGE THAT KNOWLEDGE IS POWER CERTAINLY APPLIES TO IMPROVING THE HOMELESS CRISIS RESPONSE.
