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? 3122670 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false true 16 0 false 35 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X CHRIS CHEN 7609416545 722 W CALIFORNIA AVENUE VISTA CA 92083 CHRIS MEGISON President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 113509 0 27609 JASON VENTETUOLO VP COMMUNITY ENGAG 40.00 0.00 100000 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 Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GLORIA FOOTE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEANNE ABRAHAM Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JACK LANDERS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN CONRAD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRET SCHANZENBACH Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN OGUS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOBY WIIK Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 213509 27609 1 false false false 0 414918 107370 2406605 35120 2928893 FEES 900099 50000 50000 LAUNDRY & VENDING 531110 17988 17988 RENTAL INCOME 531110 1004325 1004325 1072313 0 0 0 0 3400 5676 -2276 -2276 -2276 53970 414918 189253 -135283 -135283 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 885 885 885 3864532 1073198 -137559 0 0 0 0 141118 56448 35279 49391 0 1295862 671904 551988 71970 0 190340 157658 22337 10345 54700 45682 6163 2855 0 13254 9941 3313 263915 197936 65979 0 0 0 120551 90413 30138 49632 49632 47692 42923 4769 0 0 150640 150640 0 0 38868 15547 23321 374961 374961 0 268313 268313 233284 189153 21017 23114 amortization - ROU asset 211741 211741 UTILITIES/REFUSE REMOVAL 191047 171942 19105 SUBSIDY EXPENSE 134536 134536 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 111199 100079 11120 263728 183221 57566 22941 4155381 3122670 852095 180616 236767 367246 136525 148246 32465 99037 0 0 0 1182034 1182034 0 53688 174947 11350854 3359859 8233909 7990995 0 0 0 0 -1519704 -1774392 8355684 8188113 258326 114636 10349650 10405370 250000 480000 2696470 2921037 13554446 13921043 X -5198762 -5732930 -5198762 -5732930 8355684 8188113 X -290849 -243319 X false true X true true true X 2842553 3676174 4151357 2943286 2928893 16542263 0 0 2842553 3676174 4151357 2943286 2928893 16542263 1045854 15496409 81922 12000 12001 105923 0 24079 1126 23752 9256 885 59098 16707284 4666729 0.92750 0.91820 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4064774 4064774 6932753 3076836 3855917 258111 225996 32115 95216 57027 38189 7990995 ACCRUED EXPENSES 397691 ACCRUED INTEREST 1896816 FINANCE LEASE LIABILITY 229540 RELATED PARTY PAYABLE 248744 TENANT SECURITY DEPOSITS 62705 TENANT TRUST FUND 85541 2921037 X 3850976 129600 -143156 -13556 3864532 3864532 4385144 129600 100163 229763 4155381 4155381 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Solutions for Change is a public charity and is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
