EACH WOMAN BEGINS WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE NINE-WEEK EMPLOYMENT READINESS AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM. SHE RECEIVES TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE AND CHILDCARE FOR CHILDREN UP TO AGE 5 IN OUR ONSITE CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER. SHE WORKS ONE-ON-ONE WITH HER SOCIAL WORKER, EMPLOYMENT SPECIALIST, HOUSING SPECIALIST, AND VOLUNTEER CAREER MENTOR WHILE ATTENDING CLASSES ON JOB-READINESS, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS, MANY TAUGHT BY SKILLED COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS. SHE ALSO MAY ATTEND AFTERNOON GROUPS ON COOKING AND NUTRITION, PARENT, WELLNESS AND RECOVERY, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND WORKOUT AT THE GYM ACROSS THE STREET. IN 2024, 136 GRADUATES REPORTED JOBS THEY SECURED. FORTY GRADUATES PARTICIPATED IN PAID JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PARTNERSHIPS IN THE FIELDS OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, SOLAR ENERGY, MANUFACTURING, HEALTHCARE, CULINARY ARTS, AND SECURITY. THESE INDUSTRIES OFFER MORE THAN A JOB. THEY PROVIDE A CAREER PATHWAY WITH UPWARD MOBILITY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF EARNING A WAGE THAT WILL ALLOW GRADUATES AND THEIR CHILDREN TO SECURE A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE. IN 2024, 159 GRADUATES SECURED STABLE HOUSING WITH THE SUPPORT OF WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT. TO ENSURE WOMEN IN OUR PROGRAM ARE COMPETITIVE HOUSING APPLICANTS, OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE TRAINING IN THE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HOUSING READINESS PROGRAM "READY TO RENT." THE TRAINING INCLUDES LEARNING ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS RESIDENTS, INCLUDING UNDERSTANDING WHAT LANDLORDS EXPECT AND THE BASICS OF LANDLORD-TENANT LAW. THEY RECEIVE THEIR CREDIT REPORT AND LEARN HOW TO BOOST THEIR CREDIT AND BUDGET WITH THE INCOME THEY HAVE. IN RESPONSE TO THE HOUSING CRISIS IN SACRAMENTO, WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT CREATED TRELLIS GARDENS, OUR TRANSITIONAL WORKFORCE HOUSING PROGRAM FOR GRADUATES WITH MINOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE SECURED A JOB BUT STILL CAN'T AFFORD MARKET-RATE HOUSING. IN 2024, 20 MOMS AND THEIR 37 CHILDREN LEASED THESE COTTAGES FOR UP TO 18 MONTHS. THIS BUOYS THEIR SUCCESS AND ALLOWS THEM TO CONTINUE THAT TRAJECTORY, BUILDING THEIR CREDIT, BEGINNING A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, PUTTING DOWN ROOTS IN THEIR JOBS, AND EVENTUALLY SECURING A PROMOTION THAT ALLOWS THEM TO QUALIFY FOR MARKET-RATE HOUSING. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES THE CRITICAL STEPPING STONE THEY NEED TO RECLAIM THEIR LIVES AND FUTURES, EMPOWERING THEM TO DEFINE THEMSELVES BY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITY RATHER THAN BY THEIR LACK OF HOUSING. 1721566 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X THE ORGANIZATION 9166692307 1590 NORTH A STREET SACRAMENTO CA 95811 ROBIN KELLY-DUNTON PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LESLIE MEDINA VICE-PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MONICA PEREZ TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 THUY WAGNER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 BINDU JADURAM MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CINDY SPARKS MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE FLANNERY MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID TOPP MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LYNDA GRINSTAFF MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 KEITIE MCGHEE MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MAYA KAGEYAMA MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELINDA SAFDARZADEH MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 NIKKY MOHANNA MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAGE ROBBINS MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 SYLVIA STEPHENSON MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA CULP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 107710 0 16625 107710 0 16625 1 0 0 0 0 211806 1801319 93847 2013125 22308 22308 78357 0 78357 78357 78357 147006 141918 5088 5088 5088 68054 211806 106836 -38782 -38782 45799 20644 25155 25155 2105251 25155 0 66971 124335 100387 12306 11642 809750 653781 80148 75821 97274 78538 9628 9108 82698 66770 8185 7743 79675 79675 75564 42309 6942 26313 15972 3779 12193 25498 24039 1302 157 11756 11054 608 94 114772 107914 5939 919 13402 13402 8868 8424 222 222 22217 17521 2210 2486 HOUSING ASSISTANCE 482846 482846 IN-KIND GOODS 54415 54415 GET A JOB - TRAINING ST 12662 12662 SUPPLIES 10331 10331 40434 33394 475 6565 2082469 1721566 207640 153263 1081173 1094729 51031 51107 175278 193340 19826 3396 12659 17978 106362 75149 17979 31213 582116 621682 938335 923167 2878397 2936612 67350 82945 957566 961536 1024916 1044481 X 1457568 1208557 395913 683574 1853481 1892131 2878397 2936612 22782 15868 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1268887 1587968 1310030 1645627 2013125 7825637 210561 228409 217642 235780 253310 1145702 1479448 1816377 1527672 1881407 2266435 8971339 49012 8922327 5610 11113 28558 32421 100665 178367 9149706 311330 0.97510 0.97240 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 91587 60422 31165 14775 14727 48 31213 MUTUAL FUNDS 621682 F 621682 OPERATING LEASES - RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS 923167 923167 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 961536 961536 X 2421937 15868 300818 316686 2105251 0 2105251 2383287 300818 300818 2082469 0 2082469 PART X, LINE 2: THE AGENCY HAS APPLIED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES RELATED TO THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINITY IN INCOME TAXES AND HAS DETERMINED THERE IS NO MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
