The overall framework follows the Family Support Services Framework which incorporates case management, family development, protective factors, and strengthening families. Parent Leader NetworkThe La Plata Family Centers Coalition responded quickly to the increased need for basic human services and concrete supports during the COVID-19 outbreak in southwest rural Colorado. LPFCC activated its Parent Leader Network to augment service provision in a timely manner. This network represents the fabric of our rural communities and is able to act as cultural brokers, which translates into effective service delivery. Parent Leaders offer ground truth insight into a large fraction of our La Plata County communities. LPFCC was able to provide food security to families and individuals following the stay-at-home orders and afterward, specifically those who had a compromised immune system or were under self-quarantine. As a result, LPFCC coordinated food distribution and concrete resources through its Parent Leader Network to 4 mobile home trailer parks in the Durango area, 25 families at Fort Lewis Mesa and 20 more at Sunnyside. Please note that these are very rural areas in La Plata County. Food distribution and basic need assistance supported 130 families with over 400 ready meals and food boxes and concrete resources on a weekly basis. In addition, LPFCC partnered with local growers, farmers and business owners to secure more fresh produce and culturally appropriate food supplies. As a community-initiated response to COVID-19, LPFCC has maintained and developed further the Parent Leader Network to continue to address the significant increase in number of requests for basic needs in Southwest Colorado. This has proven effective to enhance service provision and to advance LPFCC Equity, Diversity and Inclusion work.Colorado Fatherhood ProgramThe Colorado Fatherhood Program (CFP) - This is a five-year contract with Office of Early Childhood to facilitate CFP, a family-centered comprehensive case management program. It provides connections to community-based services and supports in the areas of healthy relationships, responsible parenting, economic stability and building social capital for all fathers in the community where the fatherhood program is delivered. Targeted outreach includes fathers (biological, expectant, adoptive, stepfathers, foster, kinship, and grandfathers) over 18 years, with children or caring for children up to age 24 years. This program is expected to serve a minimum of 35 fathers.Through the membership with the Family Resource Center Association, La Plata Family Centers Coalition has opportunities to strengthen existing programs. The Family Resource Center Associations Family Support Services Framework used by LPFCC outlines three distinct paths of support and associated assessments and data tracking. This framework includes the Colorado Family Support Assessment 2.0 (CFSA2) and ensures best practices are consistently followed throughout service delivery. LPFCC also utilizes the Quality Standards for Family Strengthening & Support, issued by the California Network of Family Strengthening Networks and adopted by the National Network of Family Support and Strengthening Networks, as a tool for ensuring that families are supported and strengthened through quality practice. These Standards integrate and operationalize the Principles of Family Support Practice with the Strengthening Families Approach and its research-based, evidence-informed 5 Protective Factors.In addition to providing training and technical support, the Family Resource Center Association acts as a pass through for funding from other foundations such as Delta Dental and CDPHE. According to the LPFCC Annual Report for 2022-2023, LPFCC provided 22,019 services including program supports, concrete resources, and financial assistance to 561 unduplicated families and 1,365 unduplicated individuals from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. 240191 Community Led Response Initiatives/ Iniciativas de Respuesta Lideradas por la Comunidad Together We Grow/Juntos Crecemos:As the result of a participatory process with Community Members, Volunteers, partnering organizations, LPFCCs staff, Board of Directors and experts, Together We Grow/Juntos Crecemos was created as a new Community-Led Initiative to put to work existing infrastructure to build a local, sustainable food economy, grow economic mobility and encourage pride in multigenerational cultural heritage, thanks to a grant from the Colorado Health Foundation.

The Organization has adopted accounting requirements that prescribe when to recognize and how to measure the financial statement effects of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its income tax returns, including the position that the Organization continues to qualify to be treated as a tax-exempt organization for both federal and state income tax purposes. These rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained.Based on that evaluation, if it were more than 50% probable that a material amount of income tax would be imposed at the entity level upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, a liability would be recognized in the accompanying statements of financial position along with any interest and penalties that would result from that assessment. If the Organization has unrelated business income, the federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns (Form 990T) would be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for three years after filing. Should any penalties and interest be incurred, they would be recognized as administrative expenses.Based on the results of managements evaluation, these requirements did not have a material effect on the Organizations financial statements. Consequently, no liability or expense is recognized in the accompanying statements for uncertain income tax positions.
