Foster In Texas (FIT)
Planning the direction Lutheran Social Services will take in the future has been an important focus of the senior leadership team and the LSS Board of Directors over the past year. Our reputation, faith-based foundation, and history of strong program management set us apart from other social service organizations while opening up opportunities to use our strengths to serve an even greater number of those in need. This is our call to action. As LSS works to build a better world and change an even greater number of lives, the basis of that building plan is formed by the following strategic objectives: 1 We will strengthen our current impact. 2 We will expand our continuum of children’s services. 3 We will strengthen our financial core. 4 We will strengthen our people/employees. As we adapt our programs to the changing times, we will be able and ready to concentrate our resources and our talents where most urgently needed … on the greater number of children and families who need our help. The children in our foster care, adoption, charter schools, residential treatment, immigrant minor resettlement, and foster care transition programs, almost all share a common bond: they suffered some form of abuse and/or trauma at a young age. This is why an increasingly important part of fulfilling our mission is to help break the cycle of child abuse. LSS is in a unique position to change this pattern of abuse—through the continuum of children’s services we offer and some new programs that extend this continuum of care. Transitional programs for immigrant minors and supervised independent living (SIL) for youth aging out of foster care are two initiatives that will enhance and mesh with our community-centered strategy, to better serve the children in Texas and Louisiana in the year going forward. The capacity to improve the lives of so many is made possible by YOU, our volunteers, donors, and supporters. With your continued support and partnership the potential impact of LSS is boundless, as we continue to Provide Help, Healing, and Hope in the Name of Jesus Christ. Dr. Kurt Senske Joel Reed Chief Executive Officer Chair, Board of Directors CHILDREN’S SERVICES 1,940 children were provided foster care in 15 Texas communities Foster In Texas (FIT) LSS-FIT matches children who have been removed from their biological families with skilled and caring substitute families in stable, loving homes. More than 800 children depend on our foster care services every day. FIT families meet the demand for foster homes qualified to care for infants, primary medical needs children, large sibling groups, and teens. 39 children adopted internationally Lutheran Adoption Services of Texas Domestic Adoption 189 When adoption is the best, most loving choice – for birth moms with unplanned pregnancies, domestic adoptions and foster-to-adopt in Texas—Lutheran Adoption Services is the first place to turn. There is not judgment or unwanted advice, but guidance and knowledge. children adopted through foster-toadopt International Adoption Lutheran Social Services, a Hague-Accredited Agency, has worked in partnership with other international adoption agencies since 1967, facilitating the adoptive placements of several thousand children from other countries. LSS has interagency agreements with about 40 primary providers facilitating adoption services in a number of countries. LSS is the primary provider with an accredited program for adoptions in Bulgaria. 10 children adopted through LSS domestic program Most of the children available for international adoption are from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Central America, and South America. Residential Treatment Centers 437 Our RTCs are where children who need a structured environment heal from the past, receive on-site education and trauma-informed care, and are exposed to a better life and future. Last year we served 437 formerly abused children at our therapeutic children’s centers: formerly abused children served at two residential treatment centers Krause Children’s Center, located just outside Houston in Katy, serves troubled girls ages 12 to 17. New Life Children’s Center in Canyon Lake, is a home in the hill country for young female survivors of abuse, ages 11 to 17. 3 Corpus Christi and El Paso Emergency Transitional Care 1,101 Bokenkamp Children’s Shelter in Corpus Christi is an emergency shelter for unaccompanied immigrant children, primarily from Central America. They arrive in need of a safe environment after separation from their families and long, harrowing journeys. immigrant children were served at Bokenkamp Emergency Shelter In El Paso and Corpus Christi, LSS works closely with the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to help migrant children begin new lives through transitional care in LSS foster homes. 466 immigrant minors were provided foster care in El Paso BeREAL (Ready, Educated, Accomplished, Leaders) BeREAL is our transition program for youth aging out of foster care in New Orleans. These teens are frequently left on their own without positive connections and supportive relationships most other young people take for granted. BeREAL fills this void, offering resources, academic support and connections with volunteer mentors and life skills coaches. 124 New Orleans foster youth served by BeREAL Trinity Charter Schools Trinity Charter Schools are on site at New Life Children’s Center in Canyon Lake, Krause Children’s Center in Katy, and Pegasus Campus in Lockhart. These schools provide specialized education for youth with severe emotional and/or behavioral difficulties. This is a service no other children’s services agency in Texas can claim. 518 students served on four campuses in 2012-2013 school year SENIOR SERVICES LSS manages five customer-oriented retirement communities, supporting individuals and their families through each transition. Residents create the lifestyle they choose, from a variety of available services and options that fit them personally: 1,000 • Copperfield Village, Victoria [Independent Living] older adults reside at LSS retirement communities • Kruse Village, Brenham [Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care] • The Village at Gleannloch Farms, Spring [Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care] • Trinity Place Apartments, Round Rock [HUD-subsidized Independent Living] • Wedgewood South, Lubbock [Assisted Living] 4 DISASTER RESPONSE 3,250+ individuals were helped with emergency disaster assistance in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. LSS Disaster Response (LSSDR) is prepared to step into the aftermath of natural disasters in Texas, Louisiana, or Oklahoma – whether from tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or wildfires – to offer financial assistance for basic needs in the short term and case management and spiritual care over the long haul. Given the unpredictable nature of disaster response services, LSSDR continually works to assure that this program is ready to meet the demand if and when it arises. 7,255 HELPING OUR FRIENDS IN NEED patient visits at Health For Friends Clinic in Lubbock. Our two Lubbock-area ministries serve individuals and families by lending assistance during tough times and financial crisis – helping those in need with life’s basics and access to health care. Neighborhood House gave more than 21,000 individuals emergency assistance with rent, utilities, prescriptions, and other basic needs. More than 127 tons of food and hygiene products were distributed in the area last year. 21,000+ Health for Friends Clinic treated 1,200 individual patients during 7,255 patient visits. Health screenings and support were accessed by uninsured patients with chronic health problems such as diabetes. individuals provided emergency assistance with rent, utilities, prescriptions, and other basic needs at Neighborhood House in Lubbock. SPIRITUAL CARE As a faith-based organization, Lutheran Social Services makes optional spiritual care available throughout all our ministries to all who enter our doors. We believe spiritual support nurtures the human spirit, helping those we serve find meaning, comfort, and peace in their hour of need. Spiritual care in the name of Jesus Christ can be instrumental in restoring a sense of balance to lives that have been turned upside down. 127+ tons of food and hygiene products were distributed. 5 6 Financial Report ASSETS Cash and other current assets Non-current and other assets Year Ended March 31 (in thousands) 2014 2013 $20,506 108,784 $18,044 113,420 Total Assets $129,290 $131,464 LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS Current liabilities $10,272 $10,376 Long-term liabilities 101,606 102,906 Total liabilities 111,878 113,282 Net assets 17,412 18,182 Total Liabilities and Net Assets $129,290 $131,464 Sources of Funding | How Expenses are Allocated CONTRIBUTORY DOLLARS (Unrestricted) [A] (in thousands) Individuals/Businesses/Churches Private Grants & Bequests Events & Other $3,715 2,170 838 Total $6,723 55% 32% 13% REVENUE (Unrestricted) [B] (in thousands) Fees & Contracts from Government Program Service Fees & Other Contributory Dollars Investments $37,645 22,047 6,723 1,688 Total $68,103 56% 32% 10% 2% EXPENDITURES (Unrestricted) [C] (in thousands) Children’s Services Senior Services Administration & Fundraising Disaster Response Community Services Other $33,463 21,315 8,195 1,392 1,197 3,311 Total $68,873 48% 31% 12% 2% 2% 5% 7 2013 Donor Recognition The generous support of individuals helps to sustain the ministries of Lutheran Social Services.
