We believe that permanent housing is an intervention in and of itself, meeting one of the most basic human needs, shelter. The stability that comes from having safe, affordable housing allows our clients to shift focus from day-to-day survival to achieving other measures of independence and well-being. In FY 18 we have had multiple successes including: 96% of our clients maintained stable housing, either at Lantern or moving out to independent housing. 55 clients obtained employment; The average starting wage for those starting employment was $13.29 per hour 15 participants completed the Diabetes Self-Management Program 779 people participated in Fresh Food Box; Fresh Food Box distributed over 90,000 pounds of food 639 people engaged in an Arts, Culture and Fitness activity hosted by LanternAt the core of these successes is a cross functional team operating out of each of Lanterns supportive housing sites. This team includes Case Managers, Education & Employment Specialists, Health & Wellness Coordinators, and staff focusing on Art, Culture & Fitness and Nutrition& Culinary Education initiatives. Below are FY18 highlights from three program areas. Education and EmploymentLantern continues to implement the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) program. This is an evidence-based intervention designed to assist clients with mental illness enter or rejoin the workforce. It is provided by trained IPS Specialists who work with the client during and after job placement to increase levels of job satisfaction and job retention. In FY18, Lantern hired an additional IPS Specialist to expand the intervention to our young adult population. The Education and Employment department also launched the National External Diploma Program (NEDP) in FY18. This program will provide an additional opportunity for clients to obtain their High School Equivalency online. It provides flexibility for adults who may not be able to attend in-person classes. Five staff members were trained on NEDP administration and 11 clients began testing to evaluate readiness for the program. Arts, Culture and FitnessLanterns Fitness program at Amber Hall expanded with the opening of a long-awaited Fitness Center. The facility, highly visible from the entrance to the building, features state of the art equipment in a beautiful space. Clients may access the facility independently, meet with a Personal Trainer or attend a group fitness class.The Arts & Culture program launched sound space in FY18. Professional musicians facilitated a series of songwriting workshops to support the development of original pieces of music composed by Lantern residents. Simultaneously, through a community partnership with the Museum of Modern Art, visual artists residing at Lantern buildings created artwork, which surrounded the musicians during performances. The songs and artwork were designed to invite dialogue in the community through a series of public performances. Nutrition and Culinary ArtsLast year, Lantern engaged in the process of developing the Food 4 Life program curriculum, creating an original nutrition education program for very low income young adults. The Food 4 Life program combines in class food preparation and skill building with trips to local supermarkets and restaurants. In FY 2018, through an Implementation Grant, the Food 4 Life program was implemented at five buildings serving young adults. Nine Lantern buildings either created or expanded their backyard gardens in FY 18. Lantern also partnered with the Horticultural Society of New York to provide horticulture workshops which offered clients a chance to learn about plants, growing food and how to prepare food while also experiencing the therapeutic benefits of working with soil and plants. 12760980 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 60 0 true 157 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 8 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X Hiram King 2123983073 494 8th Avenue 20th Floor New York NY 10001 Amy Larovere Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rafal Markwat Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert J Chervenak Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Christapher Benson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Kent Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Maddison Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nathaniel Wice Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Eddy Memb(thru 5/18) 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Doherty Memb(thru 5/18) 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melinda Mlinac Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Rosenbaum ED thru 5/18/18 35.00 0.00 X 131739 0 18420 Lisa Stein COO 35.00 0.00 X 167499 0 6700 Michelle Hess CCO 35.00 0.00 X 144164 0 6913 Amy Berg CPO 35.00 0.00 X 151212 0 8885 594614 40918 4 false true false US Security Associates Inc 200 Mansell Court Fifth Floor Roswell GA 30076 Security 1788018 Mi Casa HDFC 42 West 39th St 14th Fl New York NY 10018 Security, Management 159754 Tristate Apartment Furnishers LLC 431 Timpson Pl Bronx NY 10455 Furniture & Supplies 128479 Grow NYC 100 Gold St 3300 New York NY 10038 Food Supplies 126844 4 13223153 2848581 16071734 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 46801 46801 46801 16118535 46801 0 0 0 0 357317 163246 145553 48518 0 6449362 5920559 485166 43637 103760 93789 8844 1127 1415242 1271852 126637 16753 628435 562236 57834 8365 0 767 767 0 0 0 0 670067 227475 442592 0 138073 6288 131785 172482 140432 29817 2233 0 670158 644186 22982 2990 149861 125848 24013 0 55014 44066 10948 44761 44761 0 22574 22574 61730 54788 6143 799 Contracted Security 2114467 2114467 Food Supplies 308139 308139 Utilities 283876 251953 28248 3675 Direct Program Expense 256449 256449 653054 575207 75940 1907 14555588 12760980 1664604 130004 291301 544463 0 2800058 3704760 0 0 0 0 0 62019 75375 611404 549980 83998 61424 0 0 0 0 124646 88720 3362022 4474742 2122801 1952366 574604 144632 900000 900000 361119 1437469 3958524 4434467 X -732359 17219 135857 23056 -596502 40275 3362022 4474742 X 1562947 -926170 X false true X true true true X 14618713 15845747 15309266 15840819 16071734 77686279 0 0 14618713 15845747 15309266 15840819 16071734 77686279 29805 77656474 340 223 563 0 262112 13995 46801 322908 78009750 1437095 0.99550 X 74748 35705 39043 141717 141717 394939 372558 22381 61424 Deferred Rent 61299 Due to Government agencies 1376170 1437469 X 16118535 16118535 16118535 14555588 14555588 14555588 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
