HousingThe Housing Redesign is at its assessment stage of evaluating whether it has met its objective(s) and also to unpack the unintended challenges. This reflective space enables housing to revisit all of the practices that shape rendering services to our residents. This is a major project as it forces us to rebuild the foundation as we are opening new sites and expanding. One of the new updates is the opening of the 119th site in Central Harlem. This program houses 20 residents under the age of 21. This has been much needed as we are able to serve more youth; and clients are getting placed within 2-3 days of being on the waitlist. We had clear protocols to follow in the event of positive cases; we prioritized the mental health of the residents by implementing and normalizing the self care agreement, multiple checking with the Mental Health team at AFC, approving longer passes when we were able to. Overall, THP focused on buy-in mthodes and using tactics from a volunteer based approach as well as seeing the residents as a partner to successfully support them in the program during the pandemic. In 2020 Trans Housing was able to engage residents in group activities that connected them to the larger lgbtq communities and physical activity often inaccessible to LGBTQ young people of color. An example of this was trans housings life retreat with CRUX an LGBTQ organization that builds community around rock climbing, a well attended event that gave residents space to take care of their physical and mental well being through the sport of climbing while building community with one another and the community at large. Trans housing is a 2 year 18 bed program and in 2020 saw 8 of our residents move into their own subsidized or unsubsidized apartments or move in with friends and family. 2 of these 8 residents moved into unsubsidized apartments and 5 moved into their own subsidized apartments through referrals made in case management. Additionally trans housing was able to add to our positive incentive model began in 2019 by providing program compliance gift cards that residents earn weekly by supporting the space and meeting program expectations. A gift card tracker was also created that is visible to staff and residents for each site to help residents and staff see where a resident is at in earning their gift card for the week. This was created with resident brainstorming as a way to facilitate resident buy in, transparency, and mutual accountability between staff and residents for completing tasks and filling out the tracker. This system has increased program compliance tremendously and was very supportive of residents due to loss of income during the height of the pandemic in 2020. Trans housing was also successful in connecting several residents to multiple emergency relief and mutual aid funds for Trans sex workers, undocumented residents, and Black trans folks experiencing homelessness based on eligibility. 14924528 true true false false false false false false false true true true false true true false true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 244 true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 22 1 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X X Mikhail Medvedev 2122223427 307 W 38th Street 2nd Floor New York NY 10018 X Seyyed Naghavi Director of Finance 40.00 0.00 X 150000 0 0 Kahmia Moise Director of Administration 40.00 0.00 X 150000 0 0 Zachary Bar Cohen Deputy Executive Director of 40.00 0.00 X 150000 0 0 Paul M Clark Director pf Corporate & Commu 40.00 0.00 X 135000 0 0 Marcia Bernard Deputy Executive Director of 40.00 0.00 X 135000 0 0 Naz Seenauth Deputy Director of Programs 40.00 0.00 X 135000 0 0 Corby Serrano Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Javier Morgado Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Hird Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Ratelle Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Lane Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Collin Spencer Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katharine Flynn Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carlos Ruisanchez Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Quinn Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ana Beatriz Sani Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marti Gould Cummings Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Louis Miller Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie OShaughnessy Co-Chair 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Soares Chair 3.75 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tommy Dorfman Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terence Edgerson Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Finn Brigham Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keith Vessell Secretary 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pete Vujasin Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mikhail Medvedev Treasurer 2.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 855000 0 0 6 false false false 1986778 10476355 12500387 24963520 27287 27287 1986778 Other Revenue 900099 34970 34970 34970 25025777 62257 0 0 X 10980858 8502547 2478311 1740080 1347355 392725 846467 655425 191042 17514 17514 44640 44640 111309 111309 2695417 1277240 1418177 122819 122031 788 137573 96816 40757 74994 14795 60199 1693743 1422943 270800 24333 24333 106423 106423 120993 5453 115540 Fund Raising 1136524 1136524 COVID-19 Expense 150060 150060 Client Expense 875611 768608 107003 Repairs and Maintenance 210233 181720 28513 635996 467441 168555 21725587 14924528 5553226 1247833 2592354 2728536 2604875 6143565 66281 103840 1762500 863157 864673 899343 91081 92079 1082632 1168674 321368 2922736 7623264 14058773 1979052 2338928 85128 400000 400000 1606438 4671200 4070618 7410128 X 3502646 4961978 50000 1686667 3552646 6648645 7623264 14058773 3300190 -204191 0 X false false true true X 11291298 13750419 17233632 19794061 24963520 87032930 11291298 13750419 17233632 19794061 24963520 87032930 19415862 67617068 68 92 1197 5437 27287 34081 6068 15544 21420 34970 78002 87145013 0.77590 0.84790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1503693 -217547 8460 1277686 1500000 4338 645 1503693 1.00000 false false 582226 582226 871218 679869 191349 309056 183288 125768 899343 Mutual Funds 752497 F Common Stocks 416177 F 1168674 Security deposit 335218 Right-of-use assets 2587518 2922736 Advance from government agencies 1807485 Payable to Internal revenue service 187496 Current portion of lease liabilitie 335560 Lease liabilities - noncurrent port 2340659 4671200 24821586 -204191 -204191 25025777 25025777 21725587 21725587 21725587 Endowment funds intended uses (Part V, line 4) The Organization maintains a Board-designated endowment which represents amountssegregated by the Board to provide income for the Organizations operating and capitalneeds.
