What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Project 180

The residential facility provides a 24/7 secure structured living environment with rotating staff for male youth in crisis. The placement varies from 7 days to 90 days, depending on the youth’s ongoing placement needs, and provides JJPO’s immediate turnaround on referrals, quick placement and thorough evaluation of the youth offender to help the JJPO find/re-establish the next/return to placement.

Our Mental Health Unit is dedicated to serving clients who find themselves in need of counseling and case management services. These services include one-on-one individual counseling and in-home and skills training support as needed. Connections365 services clients in Marion and Polk Counties.

Population(s) Served

Adults

Placements are determined on a case-by-case basis, in collaboration with the youth’s care team. The mentoring and skills trainer program supports youth and families referred by partnering community organizations or youth and proctors in other Connections365 programs. Mentors work one on one with youth to provide a positive relationship, skills training, respite service and crisis intervention. Currently we are providing these mentoring services for youth placed with DHS and some of our mental health outpatient clients as well.

Population(s) Served

This residential proctor model program accepts youth transitioning into the community from youth correctional facilities, other residential placements, or those needing placement with an increased level of supervision and support. This program is designed to help youth successfully transition back into the community, via either living independently or reunification with a family member. Services provided to all youth include: BRS documentation, individual, family and group counseling, educational support, vocational support, and skill building curriculum. Youth accepted into this program must meet BRS requirements and will require BRS authorization prior to placement.

Placements are approximately one year in the program with intensive transition processes both into the program and from the program. Services include case management, individual, family and group counseling, educational and vocational support, and evidence-based skill building curriculum. Additional services are accessed through community providers.

Population(s) Served

Connections365 maintains treatment foster homes for DHS youth in need of shelter care, therapeutic foster care and therapeutic foster care with enhanced services. Connections365 uses a trauma informed model. The Shelter Program provides 30- to 90-day emergency shelter and evaluation for young people in crisis. The primary focus is to stabilize and evaluate the youth in a safe, structured, therapeutic environment until a decision can be made regarding future placement. Treatment Foster Care youth are placed with Connections365 on a six-month basis. These youth have often experienced numerous previous placement failures. The enhanced program provides extra wraparound services to support successful placement for these youth, such as specialized foster care, case management, respite foster care, and mentor and skills trainer services.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
