| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Form 990, Part III, Line 4A, Program Service Accomplishments: Caminar (the Organization"), headquartered in San Mateo, California, is a nonprofit public benefit corporation with over 50 years of experience providing community based support services for transition age youth, adults, and older adults with mental health, physical, and developmental disabilities. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities by providing opportunities to live in the community with dignity and independence. The Organization is committed to developing and providing innovative programs and services that enable people with disabilities to live, work, and pursue an education in their communities based on their choices and abilities. The Organization's clients are primarily referred from county agencies and local hospitals that are generally not equipped to handle the specialized treatment which they require to fully and effectively integrate into the community. The majority of clients come from low and very low income households, and a majority of the Organization's clients are homeless at the time of their referral. In addition, most clients face multiple barriers and stressors that co-occur with, and/or are a result of, their mental illnesses including alcohol and/or drug dependence, serious medical problems, legal problems, lack of income and resources, lack of health coverage, and inadequate or non-existent social supports. The number of people the Organization serves annually has grown from 41 individuals in 1964 to over 2,000 today. The Organization offers a wide variety of specialized programs and supports in San Mateo, Solano, Butte and San Francisco counties and has plans to expand services. The Organization also seeks to address the social and community barriers to wellness by organizing public events and symposia focused on reducing the social stigma of mental illness and promoting and highlighting the efforts and accomplishments of researchers in the field. The Organization is accredited by CARF (The Commission for the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities). CARF is an international accrediting body with 50 years of experience in helping service providers consistently strive to offer the highest quality services. Caminar, as an accredited service provider, has demonstrated a high level of accountability and conformance to internationally accepted standards that promote excellence. Caminar has achieved this accreditation in a broad range of services/programs: Assertive Community Treatment Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Case Management/Services Coordination, Crisis Stabilization, Community Integration, Community Employment Services (Job Development, Employment Supports and Planning Services). San Mateo County: The Organization provides San Mateo County residents with supportive and community-based therapeutic and social rehabilitation programs for young adults and adults with mental illness, including crisis and transitional residential treatment, intensive case management, supported employment and education, a medication clinic, a community food pantry, and permanent housing. Offering a full spectrum of inter-related programs and services, clients are supported in their recovery by moving from one program component to another targeted to their particular needs and challenges. The Organization offers five supported case management programs and three residential programs that provide a holistic strengths-based approach to recovery, health, and wellness. The case management programs are FSP (Full Service Partnership), REACH (Recovery, Empowerment and Community Housing), New Ventures, YAIL (Young Adult Independent Living), and WRAPP (Wellness, Recovery and Partnership Program). The residential programs are Redwood House (Crisis Residential), Hawthorne House (Adult Transitional Residential) and Eucalyptus House (Adult, Transition Age Youth, and Young Adult Transitional Residential). Depending on the level of client functioning and the amount and types of supports needed, clients are assigned to programs that assist them in meeting their basic needs wherever they are on the spectrum of health. Clients may transition to more intensive services or graduate to less intensive services depending on their level of need and the course of their illness. Programs in San Mateo also provide supportive services to people with co-occurring disorders. The staff is trained in substance abuse and mental health recovery and is dedicated to each individual's unique recovery journey. The Organization believes that vital parts of the recovery process are the encouragement and expert facilitation of employment, education, and creative talents - all of which are supported by the Organization's holistic approach to services. The Organization in San Mateo County also offers several foundation-funded programs which are consistent with the Organization's mission and goals as described above. These include Bridges to Wellness, a clinic-based health and wellness adjunct, providing vital health and nutrition education and monitoring, and, an art therapy program which provides regular opportunities for creative self-expression to a vulnerable population that often struggles to find a medium for effective communication. The Organization's Olivos is a private-pay, ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) program offering mental health services to individuals in their homes and community. The program, which is now in its fourth year of operation, offers psychiatric assessment and care, individualized care plans and case management, medication management, vocational and education goal planning and assistance, as well as coordination with family and other care providers. The Organization's social enterprise, 240 Linden Street, is a 38-unit apartment building housing both tenants from the market at large and individuals who receive rent assistance from the San Mateo Housing Authority and the Organization's case management and FSP programs. The Organization contracts with a professional property management company who employs a full time, live-in building manager to oversee the safe and efficient management of the property. Some among those receiving rent assistance are provided case management services by the Organization as well as other mental health providers. This social enterprise offers independent community living to individuals who experience mental illness. Caminar of San Mateo County serves approximately 1,200 clients annually in all of its program components. Solano County: The Organization's Solano County programs include a Wellness and Recovery Center, case management programs, and a supportive housing program. The Wellness and Recovery Center is a recovery oriented drop-in center for mental health consumers in the community who would benefit from supportive programming and socialization opportunities. The case management programs include FSP (Full Service Partnership) intensive case management for Adult and Older Adult with embedded medication clinic and psychiatric and nursing services, and CCM (Comprehensive Case Management) to support clients in their recovery by assisting them to live as independently as possible in the community. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Organization started a new intensive case management program called HOME (Homeless Motivation and Engagement) focusing on individuals with serious mental illness who are also experiencing homelessness. The goal of this program is to engage this population in mental health treatment and support them in finding housing, and restarting their journey to wellness. The Organization's extensive supportive housing program in Solano County provides the full spectrum of supportive housing options from short-term transitional housing to long-term permanent housing. In addition, the Organization has operated Laurel Creek crisis residential facility for the past 15 years. This CARF accredited 15 bed facility provides a safe home like environment where clients can recover after an inpatient hospitalization or to prevent an inpatient hospitalization. Participants usually stay at the facility between 14 and 30 days and between 150 to 175 clients are served at this facility annually. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Organization started to partner with a private health care provider and their clients. The Organization also facilitates mental health collaborative meetings and training processes with the local community based organizations who provide a continuum of services in Solano County. Caminar of Solano County serves approximately 650 clients annually. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Butte County: The Organization has been active in Butte County since the 1980's when it opened a transitional residential home for people with severe mental illness. Caminar of Butte County has since expanded services to include individuals who have developmental and physical disabilities and now offers a variety of programs designed to promote independent living and community integration. Programs include: Friendship Circle-community socialization Orientation to Community Employment-assisting individuals with developmental disabilities to identify and prepare for community employment Jobs Plus-employment preparation, job development, job coaching and situational assessment Avenida Apartments-a 14-unit supportive housing project providing property management/housing to individuals who have a mental illness and who have experienced homelessness The region also operates two social enterprises: Sensible Cyclery and Protouch which give hands-on training to help clients develop the necessary skills for community employment. Sensible Cyclery sells reconditioned bicycles at an affordable price and Protouch provides low-cost janitorial and landscaping services. Caminar of Butte County provides services to approximately 230 individuals each year, 70% of its client population having a developmental disability and 30% having a mental illness. San Francisco County: The Organization expanded into San Francisco County by providing vocational services through Jobs Plus. Approximately 70% of the clients served through Jobs Plus have not worked in the last 10 years due to disability. The Organization now provides Jobs Plus services in several counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, Solano, Butte and Santa Clara. From researching job opportunities to developing skills to ensure job retention, Jobs Plus services cover the full range of employment stages. Vocational counselors work with each individual to understand personal and professional strengths and job preferences. They assist clients with pre-employment activities (job/company research, resume writing, interview prep) as well as with soft skill development (workplace interaction skills, dress code and hygiene expectations). Once on the job, Jobs Plus staff are available to provide tailored job coaching to ensure ongoing success in the workplace. |
