| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF CASS HOUSING, INC. IS TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN CUSTOMIZABLE AFFORDABLE, SUSTAINABLE, AND SAFE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABLILITIES THAT PROMOTE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS. |
| FORM 990 | AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IS A CRITICAL AND GROWING CRISIS. IN 2012, THE STATE OF INDIANA CHANGED HOW THEY PROVIDE SUPPORT TO PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (LIKE AUTISM AND DOWN SYNDROME) THROUGH THE MEDICAID WAIVER PROGRAM. PREVIOUSLY, FAMILIES WOULD GET ON APPROXIMATELY A 10-YEAR WAITING LIST BEFORE THEIR CHILD WOULD RECEIVE THE NEEDED FUNDING TO MOVE INTO A 24/7 WAIVER HOME. EIGHT YEARS AGO, THE SYSTEM CHANGED. THE WAITING LIST IS NOW BETWEEN EIGHT AND SIXTEEN MONTHS. THERE IS A SMALLER BLOCK GRANT OF FUNDING WHICH HELPS PAY FOR EARLY THERAPIES, HELP IN THE HOME, ETC. THEN THERE IS A LARGER MEDICAID WAIVER THAT IS NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE REQUIRED STAFFING FOR A PERSON TO MOVE OUT OF THE FAMILY HOME. NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES: HOW DOES A PERSON MOVE FROM THE SMALLER FUNDING TO THE LARGER FUNDING SO THEY CAN MOVE INTO THEIR OWN HOME? FOR MOST FAMILIES, BOTH BIOLOGICAL PARENTS HAVE TO TURN 80 YEARS OLD, THE PARENTS MUST PASS AWAY, OR THE INDIVIDUALS NEEDS TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL OR BEHAVIORAL CONCERNS TO QUALIFY FOR THE LARGER FUNDING. THIS CHANGE CREATED A MASSIVE GAP IN LONG-TERM HOUSING AND SUPPORTS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. THE SYSTEM BECAME REACTIVE TO THE NEEDS FOR THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS IN INDIANA. PARENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WANT TO KNOW WHAT LIFE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR THEIR LOVED ONE WITH A DEVELOPMENTAL OR INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY ONCE THEY THEMSELVES CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE THE NEEDED SUPPORT. ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY SERVICES (BDDS), ALLEN COUNTY HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATING IN WAIVER SERVICES IN INDIANA. THESE WAIVER SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FUNDS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO RECEIVE LONG-TERM SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY BUT DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHERE INDIVIDUALS WILL LIVE. CASS HOUSING BELIEVES THAT HOUSING OPTIONS MUST BE MATCHED WITH THE CORRECT SUPPORT TO MAKE THE TRANSITION OUT OF THE FAMILY HOME POSSIBLE. WE PROVIDE A UNIQUE SOLUTION THAT BRINGS TOGETHER CUSTOMIZABLE, SAFE HOUSING OPTIONS WITH SUSTAINABLE AND ACCESSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO LONG-TERM CARE. WE LOOK TO OPERATE THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUPPORT/HOME MODELS WITH THE EXTENSION OF A LIVING SPACE FOR A STEWARD WHO SERVES AS A SAFE-NEIGHBOR OR CAREGIVER (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL). WE ARE THE ONLY PROGRAM OF ITS KIND OPERATING IN ALLEN COUNTY SERVING ADULTS WITH AN INTELLECTUAL AND/OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | CASS HOUSING PROVIDES HOUSING AND SUPPORT OPTIONS FOR ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL AND/OR INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. OUR BUILDING PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY OPENED OUR FIRST HOME IN 2019. IN THE FALL OF 2019 WE BROKE GROUND ON OUR SECOND HOME. IN 2020, WE WILL BE BREAKING GROUND ON OUR THIRD AND FOURTH PROGRAM HOMES. THESE BUILDS WILL HELP US TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION 9 CORE MEMBERS AND 3 STEWARDS INTO OUR HOUSING PROGRAM. IN 2019, CASS HOUSING LAUNCHED THE BRICK PROGRAM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO HELP GROW VARIOUS LEVELS OF INDEPENDENCE IN OUR CORE MEMBERS. BOTH THE CORE MEMBERS TRANSITIONING INTO A PROGRAM HOME AND THE CORE MEMBERS WHO ARE WAITING FOR A PROGRAM HOME ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE BRICK PROGRAM. CASS HOUSE PROVIDED HOUSING FOR THREE CORE MEMBERS AND THEIR STEWARD FOR 11 MONTHS IN 2019. 47 NEW FAMILIES JOINED THE CASS INTEREST LIST IN 2019. 150 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN OVER 30 ACTIVITIES THAT CREATE A SENSE OF BELONGING, BUILD COMMUNITY, AND FOSTER FRIENDSHIPS. NINE CORE MEMBERS CREATED HOME GROUPS THAT WILL MOVE INTO NEW HOMES IN 2020. CASS HOUSING PROVIDED TWO OUTREACH EVENTS IN 2019 TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS FOR OUR MISSION AND INTRODUCE FAMILIES LOOKING FOR RESOURCES TO OUR CASS COMMUNITY. |
