| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Description of Program Service: | Imagine LA believes that, while housing families is a critical first step, housing must be paired with equitable access to resources - including social capital - to ensure families have opportunities to avoid repeat homelessness and build a stable path out of poverty. Imagine LA has one program, The Family Empowerment & Mentorship (FEM) Model, designed to advance equity and break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, homelessness, and neglect. The model is a unique, whole-family approach that leverages a powerful combination of clinical case management, trained volunteer mentors from the community, and financial wellness pathways to build strong family stability, economic independence, and wellbeing. MODEL: Imagine LA's unique Family Empowerment & Mentorship (FEM) model breaks the cycle of generational poverty and homelessness by providing families who have experienced homelessness (and are now in housing) with intensive case management, volunteer mentorship, workforce development, and links to resources. Imagine LA's program staff help families set goals and access private and public resources, while our community engagement team recruits and trains volunteers who offer 1:1 mentorship to each member of the family (over age 5). Imagine LA also provides a financial wellness mentor to the head of household. While most service providers focus their support on the adult head of household, Imagine LA effectively works with whole families over a 12- to 24-month period. Our model empowers the family to build the relationships, habits, and skills they need to increase their income, integrate into their communities, and establish stability. Ultimately, families who graduate from the program have the tools they need to thrive in the long term. Last year, Imagine LA launched a robust three-year strategic plan to reach more families with our impactful program while ensuring deep and lasting impact on those we serve. Imagine LA's strategic plan focuses squarely on continued growth, program enhancement, community engagement, and operational excellence. Imagine LA's goal is to empower 250 families and engage 750-1,000 mentors annually by 2022. In 2019, Imagine LA served 104 families (367 unduplicated individuals, 89% headed by single mothers), and 158 mentors. 1. Through key partnerships, Imgaine LA continued to both deepen and expand our reach geographically in South L.A, Mid-City, Southeast L.A. and in the San Fernando Valley. 2. Enhanced Imagine LA's model to better respond to the higher acuity needs of the families serves by creating a Phase 1: Family Stabilization / Mentor Readiness to our FEM model. 3. Built organizational sustainability through continued investment in organizational capacity and systems and an increasingly strong and diverse and funding sources (32% Foundations/Corporations, 33% Government, 26% Individual/Events, 9% In-kind and less than 1% Other), including significantly increasing Imagine LA's cash reserves and its Line of Credit to cover over three months of operating expenses. Imagine LA is proud to share that last year Imagine LA made strategic investments in additional capacity and expertise to its fund development team and secured two new large Funders (the W.M. Keck Foundation and the Jewish Federation RPO 2.0 giving circle). Imagine LA added four new Board members who reflect the backgrounds of the families Imagine LA serves, including people of color and people with lived experience. Imagine LA enhanced the FEM model and strengthened its information systems to better track program and donor processes and outcomes. Imagine LA increased its mentor recruiting capabilities by expanding its Alumni Ambassador Corps from 5 to 22. All of these activities serve to strengthen Imagine LA's capacity to continue to grow and scale its high impact model.* IMPACT: In 2019, 98% of families enrolled in Imagine LA's program maintained their housing and a good relationship with their landlord. Imagine LA's families demonstrated heightened financial literacy (including budgeting and saving, completing taxes, utilizing the banking system, increasing earned income, and decreasing debt). The majority of Imagine LA's families are working, in school, or on workforce development pathways. The vast majority of Imagine LA's family members are receiving regular healthcare, and youth participants are progressing in reaching their developmental milestones, embracing school and extracurricular activities and, if applicable, pursuing post-secondary education. Imagine LA continues to learn from its work and refines its model to better empower Imagine LA's families with the skills they need to achieve financial stability. We are excited to report that in 2019, Imagine LA secured funding from the Carl and Roberta Deutsch Foundation for its new Workforce Development Pathways with Childcare and enhanced Financial Wellness Initiative. The Financial Wellness Pathways Taskforce, a group of highly curated multi-sector subject matter experts, is leading this to create viable pathways to living wage jobs, with childcare and with financial literacy training, to create long term financial stability for Imagine LA's families. Looking ahead to 2020, Imagine LA strives to grow and enhance its capacity to serve more families in Los Angeles County. * Please note with regard to allocated functional expenses that Imagine LA's 2019 capacity building efforts temporarily increased the percentage of administrative expenses and that the introduction of an additional pre-mentorship phase to its program temporarily decreased its use of mentors for a 6-month period and thus the amount of in-kind mentor contributions and expenses (see Note 9). In the future, with expected program growth, Imagine LA's administrative allocation percentage should adjust downward and the program allocation percentage should adjust upward. |
