The Organization is the lead agency for the Sacramento Homeless Continuum of Care and administers and oversees grants for homeless related programs in Sacramento County which are received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are passed through to various non-profit organizations as sub-grants. The Continuum of Care Program is designed by HUD to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. Since becoming the lead agency in the Continuum of Care in 2011, the annual level of grant funding provided to the Sacramento community by HUD has increased by five million dollars. This funding supports twenty-two permanent supportive housing programs and retains housing and supportive services for people who were previously homeless. false false 16005033 13302361 13489776 Homeless Response System Planning Designated by the community as the Sacramento City and County Continuum of Care (CoC) lead agency to receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding and undertaking planning activities, SSF supports the membership of the CoC board with information, expertise, data, coordination, and recommendations for action. In collaboration with the City of Sacramento, County and CoC we have developed a first ever Local Homelessness Action Plan with a quantifiable gaps analysis that will guide policies and actions for preventing, responding, and resolving homelessness in Sacramento.Despite the Omicron virus, SSF conducted a 2022 Point In Time unsheltered count (PIT) with over 500 volunteers completed a two-day unsheltered Point-in-Time (PIT) Count. 3127581 Leadership & EngagementAs a leading voice in the Homeless Response System, we have diversified and deepened strategic partnerships with a wide range of Sacramento organizations working to serve people experiencing homelessness. This includes teaming up with a leading research institution to complete our 2022 Point-In-Time Count, working with healthcare entities to bring more integrated system of care, and expanded and improving a countywide coordinated access to homeless resources.We have undertaken an extensive examination of our regions Homeless Response System. This includes mapping the current system, developing a quantifiable system gap analysis and delving into system data with a racial equity lens and evaluating better approaches.We initiated and supported the Sacramento Continuum of Cares (COC) Racial Equity Committee that has been tasked with examining the ways in which Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) experience homelessness and navigate our local homelessness system and are supporting an action plan to guide the decision-making process of the CoC Board over the next three years. 709314 Coordinated Entry & Outreach SSF supports a coordinated approach for accessing services and housing for persons experiencing homelessness.

Successful launch of the Rapid Access and Problem Solving (RAPS) a CoC-funded pilot project to streamline access to new problem-solving resources led the way to support to expand the front door to ensure more equitable, expedient, and open access for our unhoused neighbors. 19841928 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 true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 141 0 true 45 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Michael Colton CPA 9165779770 2150 River Plaza Drive Suite 385 Sacramento CA 95833 Lisa Bates CEO 40.00 0.00 X 203310 0 15307 Michele Watts Planning officer 40.00 0.00 115000 0 10607 Rodolfo Davidson Programs Director 20.00 0.00 102750 0 3704 Michael J Colton CFO 40.00 0.00 X 76667 0 0 Erin Johansen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Brand Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michelle Odell Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr A Jonathan Porteus PhD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Husid Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Keasling Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Maxwell Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cassandra Jennings Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alissa Ko Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 497727 29618 3 false true false Apex Technology Management LLC 310 Hemsted Drive Suite 300 redding CA 96002 IT Services 150034 Homebase 870 Market Street San Francisco CA 94102 Homeless Response System 185296 Bitfocus 548 Market Street San Francisco CA 94104 HMIS Database Provider 274141 Nelson and Associates PO Box 8524 Pasadena CA 91109 Staffing Services 267084 Leading Resources Inc 1930 N Street Sacramento CA 95811 Consulting Services 157055 5 19607531 539848 20147379 0 182530 182530 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Revenue 900099 1365 1365 1365 20331274 1365 182530 13302362 13302362 0 0 0 295284 287548 7736 0 2388804 2336543 52261 9941 8770 1171 460135 498341 -38206 213693 211159 2534 0 58273 37430 20843 0 0 0 0 1302844 1295878 6966 0 23460 19987 3473 19117 18846 271 0 164919 164767 152 18923 19055 -132 0 5133 4659 474 16 16 0 -1 -1 40359 1575 38784 Problem Solving 647065 647065 Service Provider Payments 431211 431211 Program Expenses 371472 371472 RECRUITING 111503 111503 94963 73757 21206 19959476 19841928 117548 0 10798865 8250254 0 0 1702070 3708704 0 0 0 0 24754 30050 142057 83044 82428 59013 2517268 4184310 0 0 0 14876 20383 15140261 16252714 353210 509521 1417442 2588395 5508 1770652 3103424 X 13369609 45551 13103739 13369609 13149290 15140261 16252714 371798 -598180 6063 X false true X true true true X 13272907 25931382 22020162 24121420 20147379 105493250 0 0 13272907 25931382 22020162 24121420 20147379 105493250 0 105493250 22181 31930 182530 236641 0 23099 74 1365 24538 105754429 0.99750 0.99920 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 142057 83044 59013 59013 LEASE LIABILITY 5508 5508 X 19733094 -598180 -598180 20331274 20331274 19959476 19959476 19959476 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021. true Lutheran Social Services 1465 Civic Court Bldg D Concord CA 94520 941659687 2966098 0 Homeless services My Sisters House 3053 Freeport Blvd 120 Sacramento CA 95818 680464114 202985 0 Homeless services Sacramento Cottage Housing PO Box 2906 Sacramento CA 95816 680322086 313390 0 Homeless services Sacramento Self Help Housing PO Box 188445 Sacramento CA 95818 680217383 3065301 0 Homeless services SAEHC 8001 Folsom Blvd Sacramento CA 95826 941201202 3580436 0 Homeless services Volunteers of America 1900 Point West Way 270 Sacramento CA 95818 946001984 3174152 0 Homeless services 6 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The Organization monitors the use of grant funds though periodic phone calls, emails and site visits.
