Due to an aggressive multibillion dollar expansion of the dependency-making Housing First approach, a systemwide set of policies that enable the once homeless to use illicit drugs, remain unemployed and refuse services while living in public funded housing, Solutions is now one of the last remaining homeless housing and service orgs that deliver results that end dependency. The decision to stand firm on its core values to solve the root causes of family homelessness resulted in the nonprofit making the decision to voluntarily return over $83 million in hard fought family housing resources. The decision was made after years of legal wrangling when it became evident that no federal, state, or local resources would help protect homeless parents and their children from the explosion of an enabled drug culture riddled with overdose, deaths and criminal impacts, all of which pointed back to Housing First. Although those losses greatly impacted the people and programs of Solutions for Change, the organization recommitted to a multiyear repurposing effort, free of government funding, that began in earnest in 2022. Called We Are One Us, the effort involves over 100 Solutions for Change graduates, called Overcomers, who have rallied around the nonprofit to advance its mission and vision of solving the root causes of family homelessness. With the Overcomers leading the way the question they are asking is: What if the answer to the homeless problem is staring us all in the face? What if the solution is the homeless themselves, engaged in a purposeful way and equipped and inspired into jobs that end dependency for others like them, through initiatives like what Solutions for Change builds and implements? 3942534 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false true 24 0 false 41 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X CHRIS MEGISON 7609416545 722 W CALIFORNIA AVENUE VISTA CA 92083 CHRIS MEGISON President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 191596 0 0 DENNIS BONE Executive VP 40.00 0.00 109787 0 0 MIKE KENNEDY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK T EALY CFP CPA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS CHEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GLORIA FOOTE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEANNE ABRAHAM CHAIRWOMAN 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAWN CUNEEN BOOTH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JACK LANDERS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN CONRAD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRET SCHANZENBACH Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN OGUS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOBY WIIK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 301383 2 false true false INNOVISION LLC 5961 KEARNY VILLA RD SAN DIEGO CA 92123 CONTRACTOR 178512 BRANDON WOLFARTH PO BOX 1 CRAIG CO 81626 CONTRACTOR 105424 2 458293 456440 2150592 3065325 DEVELOPER FEE 531110 176549 176549 RENTAL INCOME 531110 927618 927618 SUPPORTING SERVICES 900099 35792 35792 1139959 0 0 0 0 809499 683111 126388 126388 126388 458293 336207 -336207 -336207 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 12757 12757 12757 4008222 1152716 -209819 0 0 0 0 191596 170521 15327 5748 0 1304688 1161172 104375 39141 0 64337 57260 5147 1930 132781 118175 10623 3983 0 0 0 0 0 0 278627 247978 22290 8359 239071 212773 19126 7172 332893 296275 26631 9987 0 0 481327 428381 38506 14440 0 0 70162 62444 5613 2105 158754 141291 12700 4763 0 336899 299840 26952 10107 207895 185027 16631 6237 UTILITIES/REFUSE REMOVAL 202122 179889 16169 6064 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 138512 123276 11081 4155 DUES/SUBSCRIPTIONS 66078 58809 5287 1982 SUPPLIES 54190 48229 4335 1626 169881 151194 13591 5096 4429813 3942534 354384 132895 607963 236767 96979 136525 465798 30762 0 0 0 2509365 2825417 0 77924 53688 11339042 3085807 9217798 8253235 0 0 0 0 -1454378 -1144185 11521449 10392209 111475 249493 11108736 10590195 250000 2512925 2491820 13983136 13331508 X -3003008 -2939299 541321 -2461687 -2939299 11521449 10392209 -421591 -56021 X false false false X 1744686 2842553 3676174 4151357 3065325 15480095 0 0 1744686 2842553 3676174 4151357 3065325 15480095 963827 14516268 63082 81922 12000 12001 169005 97829 97829 24079 1126 23752 12757 61714 15808643 4656565 0.91820 0.91580 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4064774 4064774 6901678 2764703 4136975 221927 221927 150663 99177 51486 8253235 ACCRUED EXPENSES 85009 ACCRUED INTEREST 1481103 FINANCE LEASE LIABILITY 620091 RELATED PARTY PAYABLE 169067 TENANT SECURITY DEPOSITS 58565 TENANT TRUST FUND 77985 2491820 X false FUNDRAISING 458293 458293 336207 458293 458293 336207 336207 -336207 X X X false false false false false false false false false CHRIS MEGISON President & CEO 191596 191596 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The organization hires an outside CPA to prepare the Form 990.
