Primavera Works is a workforce development social enterprise staffing agency for men and women with barriers to employment (i.e., homelessness, former incarceration, physically challenging conditions, and returning veterans) by offering ethical, temporary labor services. The program is a continuum of services, including job readiness, job skill development, job coaching, employment retention, financial empowerment, and opportunities to obtain temp-to-hire positions through partnerships with local employers. Workers are placed on assignment such as supervised crews for residential and business jobs, including landscaping, bufflegrass removal, residential and business moves, janitorial contracts, housekeeping, apartment turns, water harvesting systems (design and installation), and more. The program also provides above-minimum wages, lunches, transportation, and worker supplies for participants.

Population(s) Served
Adults

There are multiple options for people who are further along on their pathway out of poverty and seek long-term financial empowerment. Down payment assistance, credit score repair/building, and mortgage assistance services are available. Homebuyer education teaches low-to-moderate-income families more than how to purchase and maintain a house; it teaches them how to live their dream of having a home to finally call their own.

Motivated participants benefit from a variety of financial empowerment and asset-building services. These include incentive-based savings plans, credit restoration services, homebuyer education, and homeownership opportunities. Achieving long-term financial success is definitely within reach. The Her Family is a program that assists single, head-of-household mothers and their daughters with educational opportunities and strategies for saving, budgeting, building assets, and becoming first-time homeowners, while often breaking multi-generational cycles of poverty in the process. The Mis Abuelitos is a program that assists grandparents raising their grandchildren covering the same topics for the same purpose.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

All of Primavera's programs work together to facilitate progress toward individual economic independence, long-term financial security, neighborhood investment, and community and civic engagement, with the goal of empowering the disenfranchised of our community to affect long-term positive change for themselves, their families, and their communities.

The Organization carries out its mission through community education, advocacy and organizing while providing a continuum of services that address homelessness, poverty, and neighborhood destabilization. All of the Organization’s programs facilitate progress towards individual economic independence, long-term financial security, neighborhood investment, community engagement, and movement building with the goal of empowering the disenfranchised of our community to affect longterm positive change for themselves, their families and their communities. The Organization’s primary sources of revenue are government contracts, foundation grants, unrestricted donations, rent from affordable rental housing, and earned revenue from the workforce development program, home ownership services, and neighborhood revitalization.

Primavera has customized data platforms that measure input, outcome, and impact at the participant level, program level, and neighborhood level. Each line of business has its own financial report designed to measure profit and loss. Every three years, we receive an on-site independent review by NeighborWorks America. We strive to be a learning organization that responds to critical needs in the community and is able to adopt innovative strategies in order to achieve greater impact. Our diverse board of directors continually expand Primavera's capability, by regular training, and contributing each of their unique areas of career expertise to the organization. We also have a dedicated volunteer workforce, which expands the organization's capacity to serve and widen its footprint in the community. We often serve as a mentor organization in peer-to-peer organizational exchanges and have been chosen to pilot many programs because of its demonstrated capabilities and strengths.

With more than one in five people living below the poverty threshold in the City of Tucson and Pima County's total poverty rate at 20%, the need for Primavera's programs continues to grow. As public sector investment in emergency services, affordable housing, and workforce development services decreases at the federal, state, and local level, Primavera has been working to grow its philanthropy and earned revenues. Unfortunately, Primavera's growth in these areas has not kept up with the demand for services. Primavera will continue to grow its philanthropy and earned revenues so that these critical services are ensured for the most marginalized members of the community.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 10/29/2021

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
