| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT | INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM (ILP) YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SUCCESS SERVICES (YESS) YOUTH QUEST INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM (ILP) IS A THREE-TIER PROGRESSIVE INITIATIVE THAT STANDS AT THE FOREFRONT OF SUPPORTING YOUNG INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR JOURNEY TOWARD SUSTAINABLE INDEPENDENCE. OUR PROGRAM IS METICULOUSLY STRUCTURED, OFFERING A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO NURTURING THE YOUTH AND EQUIPPING THEM WITH THE NECESSARY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO THRIVE IN THEIR PURSUIT OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2017, YESS HAS PROVIDED SCATTERED-SITE SUPPORTIVE INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES, STEADILY EXPANDING ITS REACH. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SUCCESS SERVICES (YESS) CONTINUES TO ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT MILESTONES TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THE YOUNG ADULTS UNDER THEIR CARE. AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS, 57% TRANSITIONED INTO FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT, EQUIPPING THEM WITH ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND OPENING DOORS TO LONG-TERM FINANCIAL STABILITY. ADDITIONALLY, HALF OF THE YOUTH OBTAINED THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS WHILE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM (ILP), CREATING A PATHWAY FOR FURTHER EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. NOTABLY, 14% OF YOUNG ADULTS SUCCESSFULLY SECURED A LEASE UNDER THEIR NAMES, DEMONSTRATING THEIR PROGRESS IN ACQUIRING INDEPENDENT LIVING ARRANGEMENTS AND FOSTERING SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS SERVE AS A TESTAMENT TO THE POSITIVE INFLUENCE OF YESS IN EMPOWERING AND GUIDING YOUNG ADULTS TOWARD A FUTURE MARKED BY SUCCESS AND INDEPENDENCE. IN 2023, YESS LAUNCHED A NEW SUB-SET PROGRAM INITIATIVE CALLED YESS BRIDGE-CONNECT. THE YESS BRIDGE-CONNECT PROGRAM SUPPORTS YOUNG ADULTS EXITING GEORGIA'S FOSTER CARE SYSTEM BY BRIDGING GAPS IN THEIR TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENT LIVING. RECOGNIZING THAT MANY YOUTH TURN 18 WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR GED AND MAY LACK SUFFICIENT READINESS FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING PLACEMENTS, YESS BRIDGE-CONNECT OFFERS INDIVIDUALIZED, INTENSIVE SUPPORT. DESIGNED FOR YOUTH WHO HAVE OUTGROWN FOSTER OR GROUP HOME SETTINGS BUT ARE NOT YET PREPARED FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM (ILP) PLACEMENTS, THE PROGRAM ASSIGNS EACH PARTICIPANT A LIFE SUPPORT TEAM, INCLUDING A LIFE COACH AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PEER ADVOCATE. TOGETHER, THEY WORK TO BUILD THE SKILLS AND CONNECT YOUTH WITH RESOURCES NEEDED FOR SUCCESSFUL, INDEPENDENT LIVES BEYOND DFCS/ILP SUPPORT. IN ITS FIRST COHORT, BEGINNING IN DECEMBER 2023, YESS BRIDGE-CONNECT SERVED SEVEN YOUTH. AMONG THESE PARTICIPANTS, THREE YOUNG ADULTS COMPLETED HIGH SCHOOL, THREE ARE ENROLLED IN GED CLASSES AND ARE PROJECTED TO FINISH THEIR COURSEWORK BY JULY 2024, AND ONE IS ON TRACK TO COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL BY OCTOBER 2024. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT | REBOUND SUPPORT SERVICES PROGRAM: THE REBOUND SUPPORT SERVICES (RSS) PROGRAMS EXTEND A COMPREHENSIVE ARRAY OF SERVICES TAILORED TO ASSIST YOUNG INDIVIDUALS AGED 18 TO 24 GRAPPLING WITH DIVERSE LIFE CHALLENGES. TARGETING THREE SPECIFIC GROUPS, THE PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF YOUTH IN TRANSITION FROM CARE, EPISODICALLY HOMELESS YOUNG ADULTS, AND THOSE CLASSIFIED AS HUD-DEFINED HOMELESS YOUTH. RSS OFFERS A ROBUST FRAMEWORK FOR YOUTH TRANSITIONING FROM CARE TO CASE MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL AID. CASE MANAGEMENT ENTAILS CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH YOUNG ADULTS NAVIGATING THE SHIFT FROM INDEPENDENT LIVING PLACEMENTS, CRAFTING INDIVIDUALIZED PLANS TO ADDRESS THEIR SPECIFIC TRANSITIONAL NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS. OUR ADEPT LIFE COACH TEAM PROVIDES INVALUABLE GUIDANCE, UNWAVERING SUPPORT, AND ACCESS TO VITAL RESOURCES, FACILITATING A SEAMLESS TRANSITION FROM FOSTER CARE OR OTHER CARE SYSTEMS TO INDEPENDENT LIVING. FINANCIAL AID IS AVAILABLE TO COVER PIVOTAL EXPENSES LIKE HOUSING, EDUCATION, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS. IN 2023, YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SUCCESS SERVICES RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL PRESTIGIOUS TWO-YEAR HUD YOUTH HOMELESS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT (YHDP) JOINT RAPID RE-HOUSING/TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING HOMELESS YOUTH IN ATLANTA. NOTABLY, YESS IS THE PIONEERING YHDP RECIPIENT IN GEORGIA. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, TEN YOUNG ADULTS BENEFIT FROM THE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING INITIATIVE ANNUALLY, ENSURING A SECURE AND STABLE HOUSING ENVIRONMENT FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING OR AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS. ADDITIONALLY, 20 YOUNG ADULTS RECEIVE ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE RAPID REHOUSING SERVICES, WHICH PROVIDE MEDIUM-TERM RENTAL AID AND COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, INCLUDING HOUSING STABILITY CASE MANAGEMENT. THESE SERVICES ARE EXTENDED TO INDIVIDUALS AND PARENTS OF YOUNG ADULTS AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 24. YESS ALSO LAUNCHED ITS DIRECT CASH TRANSFER AS PREVENTION PROGRAM. THE DIRECT CASH TRANSFER AS PREVENTION (DCT-P) PROGRAM ALIGNS WITH YESS'S MISSION TO EMPOWER HOMELESS YOUTH THROUGH AUTONOMY, DIGNITY, AND INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT. BY PROVIDING DIRECT CASH ASSISTANCE, DCT-P ENABLES HOMELESS YOUTH TO ADDRESS THEIR UNIQUE NEEDSWHETHER SECURING HOUSING, PURSUING EDUCATION, OR ACCESSING HEALTHCAREFOSTERING RESPONSIBILITY AND RESILIENCE. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL WELFARE PROGRAMS, DCT-P OFFERS FLEXIBILITY, ALLOWING YOUTH TO RESPOND TO URGENT CHALLENGES IMMEDIATELY AND REDUCING THE LIKELIHOOD OF CRISES. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SHELTERS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, YESS ENSURES EXTENSIVE OUTREACH AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES FOR DCT-P PARTICIPANTS. YESS'S EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMS, SUCH AS THE CHAFEE PANDEMIC RELIEF FUND, HAS PREPARED THE ORGANIZATION TO MANAGE CASH TRANSFER INITIATIVES EFFECTIVELY. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS PERSONAL GROWTH AND STABILITY FOR YOUTH, STRENGTHENS COMMUNITIES, AND LESSENS RELIANCE ON SOCIAL SERVICES. YESS ANTICIPATES SERVING 50 YOUNG ADULTS, EQUIPPING THEM WITH RESOURCES FOR A BRIGHTER, SELF-SUFFICIENT FUTURE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT | TRANSITIONAL HOUSING & RAPID RE-HOUSING PROGRAM: YESS IS THE FIRST ORGANIZATION IN GEORGIA TO BE AWARDED THE JOINT TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND RAPID REHOUSING (TH/RRH) GRANT THROUGH THE CITY OF ATLANTA, AND IT HAS ALSO RECEIVED A JOINT TH/RRH AWARD FOR GWINNETT AND CLAYTON COUNTIES THROUGH THEIR BALANCE OF STATE. THE RAPID REHOUSING SEGMENT OF THIS PROGRAM HAS PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE IN EXPEDITING THE TRANSITION OF HOMELESS YOUTH INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE, YESS HAS PROVIDED NEARLY 100 YOUNG ADULTS WITH FINANCIAL AID, CASE MANAGEMENT, AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO SECURE STABLE HOUSING MORE QUICKLY, PREVENTING PROLONGED HOMELESSNESS AND ENHANCING THEIR OVERALL WELL-BEING. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH IS A VITAL INTERVENTION THAT PROMOTES STABILITY AND INDEPENDENCE FOR YOUNG ADULTS ACROSS MULTIPLE REGIONS. |
