| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: | PROVIDES ITS CLIENTS WITH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT THEIR EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER GOALS ALONG WITH ROBUST SERVICES TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENT LIVING, PROMOTE PERSONAL HEALTH, ENCOURAGE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, AND FACILITATE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | LIFELONG LEARNING The Arc San Francisco's Lifelong Learning team continued their comprehensive onsite services during 2023 and 2024 while ensuring a broad array of remote and hybrid services for individuals preferring to be served from home. 80% of our classes now offer hybrid or online formats, providing a versatile mix of in-person and remote learning options to accommodate diverse preferences. To adapt our programming to the wants and needs of our client base, Lifelong Learning conducted our Participant Survey in 2024, receiving an overwhelming response: 149 insightful contributions from 422 participants, resulting in an impressive 35% response rate. This invaluable feedback directs our efforts in refining and enhancing our services to better serve our community. In response to participants' needs, we offer six participant-led courses to meet their expressed interests. In addition to our daytime services, The Arc San Francisco received approval for the "vendorization" of our existing Social & Recreation program, ensuring that the 81 clients who attended in 2023 and 2024 can continue benefitting from opportunities to build peer relationships and inclusion in our community. Our remote team facilitated 24 unique learning classes weekly, providing continued engagement to 27 Tailored Day Services participants through consistent and high-quality programming. Our arts program supported the creation of four short films for the first-ever ArtReach Film Festival, which was attended by over 50 people. We also helped clients submit their work to three major exhibitions-Disability Arts Showcase, WAVE Collective, and Root Division. Additionally, our efforts contributed to clients earning $5,274 in art sales through pop-ups and corporate events. 42 Adult students attending classes Over 129 Classes and activities offered, 100 of them online or hybrid 414 Unique visitors to The Hub 309 Participants receiving services on campus 81 clients attending Social & Recreation activities Employment Services Employment Services continued to provide Job Development, Employment/Internship support and Job Coaching services model, which have all been primarily in-person. Many participants' job descriptions/responsibilities have changed since returning to their respective jobs, which The Arc Job Coaches supported to ensure a smooth transition back to in-person responsibilities. The Employment department also continued to expand into untapped roles/industries, as well as creating new partnerships, e.g.- Salluhall, Buffalo Wild Wings, and AX9 Security. We continue to look for new internship opportunities in addition to our long-standing internship at California Academy of Sciences. We started an in-house internship with the Arc Cafe/facilities, which has had a total of eight rotating interns learning customer service, managerial, administrative, and teamwork skills in addition to other employable skills. We also had a pilot internship in Marin County with the Indian Valley Organic Farm and Garden, which included four interns who learned various agricultural and gardening skills in addition to teamwork skills. We have also had positive conversations with previous internship/employment partners, e.g., SFMOMA and Deloitte about restarting our partnership. Job Development Our Job Development Department continued to find creative ways of providing job development and employment support services. Employment Specialists conducted assessments, employment planning meetings, Personal, Vocational and Social Adjustments, and Mock interviews both virtually and in-person. The Employment Roundtable class series prepared job seekers to be employment-ready with an 8-week curriculum of job readiness lessons. The Transition-Aged Youth (TAY) class, funded by San Francisco Department of Children, Youth, and Families, will also be resuming. The job market trends have changed, and we see more employment opportunities in retail, customer service and food services industries. 198 Employed and in career development 79 Employer partners 14 Interns 11 Graduates 2 New Employer Partners 60% of placements in fiscal year 2023-2024 are in food service and customer service. Participant Experience Advocacy Opportunities Many Arc participants attended Capitol Action Day in Sacramento. They joined other advocates throughout California to ask lawmakers for funding to maintain vital support and services for people with developmental disabilities. Two Arc SF participants gave a presentation on friendship at the Statewide Self-Advocacy Conference in Sacramento. Three Arc SF participants planned and facilitated part one of the Advocacy in Action Speakers' Series. The audience learned how to advocate for themselves and other participants at The Arc. A participant was awarded a SARTAC fellowship. She developed and taught a creative writing and self-publishing class. The writing from this class will be published in an anthology. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | RESIDENTIAL The Arc Residential team continued the ongoing relationship with Mercy Housing with The Arc Mercy property on Page and Masonic. Victor Scaggs (Service Manager), working as the onsite coordinator, helped support Arc and non-Arc tenants with tenant issues throughout the year. These issues included problem solving neighbor disagreements, removal of non-tenant individuals doing untoward activities, and fire alarm issues. The Arc reconnected with the Mercy Housing management team for The Bill Sorro property. During the pandemic, The Bill Sorro property management team had asked all outside vendors to please hold off on coming on site to do any work. In 2023, they asked The Arc to please resume our activities. The Arc and Bill Sorro teams met to re-establish The Arc's role. There were some trials with classes and onsite support for community resources not accessed by tenants. As a result, The Arc opted to end our role as an onsite resource; however, we are still connected with Bill Sorro with our shared participants/tenants and remain as needed resource for Bill Sorro. We are the Bill Sorro Apartment management team when called upon. The Arc Residential Team continued to serve our participants in SLS/ILS throughout 2024. There were many unique post-pandemic issues we helped our participants navigate, such as reconnecting with worksites and day programs, routine doctor appointments, budgeting and bill paying, shopping for groceries and personal items, preparing and cooking breakfast, lunches and dinners, laundry, housekeeping and other tasks as laid out based on participant need. The Arc is currently serving 25 participants in Independent/Supported Living Skills services and housing advocacy. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | HEALTH ADVOCACY The Wellness Services Program is dedicated to supporting The Arc participants in accessing and managing their health care needs. Many participants come to the program after years without medical care due to barriers such as fear of seeing a doctor, challenges navigating insurance systems, difficulty scheduling appointments, lack of transportation, or struggles communicating effectively with medical providers. The program helps participants overcome these obstacles by offering personalized guidance and support to connect them with the care they need while navigating the complex health systems. At the heart of the program are Health Advocates, who serve as compassionate bridges between participants, medical providers, and other support systems. Health Advocates operate much like health case managers, working alongside participants to help them achieve healthy, independent, and self-directed lives. Through home visits and initial assessments, Health Advocates gain a deep understanding of participants' living situations and support systems. This last fiscal year, we were able to assess 18 new participants to receive Wellness Services. Health Advocates tailor services to everyone's unique needs, to provide person-centered care that meets participants where they are. Health Advocates continue to make sure all participants are getting their routine vaccinations: Covid, flu, RSV, shingles, tetanus (as needed). 140 HEALTH ADVOCACY SERVICES PARTICIPANTS 13,093 HEALTH CARE CASE MANAGEMENT HOURS 39 INTERVENTIONS: 9 EMERGENCY ROOM; 30 URGENT CARE APPOINTMENTS |
