PRIOR TO MARCH 2020, THE CAMPUS WAS CONSIDERED A COMMUNITY HUB WHERE PARTICIPANTS AND MENTORS GATHERED IN MORNING CIRCLE, A COMMUNITY AND COMMUNAL LUNCH WAS SERVED EVERY DAY, THE COUNTRY STORE WAS OPEN AND MANY ACTIVITIES TOOK PLACE. ALL OF THIS QUICKLY TOOK A PIVOT TO LIMIT POTENTIAL EXPOSURE FOR THIS VULNERABLE POPULATION. WE HAD TO FIND WAYS FOR OUR PARTICIPANTS TO CONTINUE TO TOUCH AND FEEL THE INCLUSIVE, LIFE SHARING SETTING WHERE THEY ENGAGE IN A HEALTHY PRODUCTIVE LIFESTYLE. WITH THE HELP OF ZOOM, THE PARTICIPANTS CONTINUED TO CONNECT FOR MORNING CIRCLE, ZUMBA, HULA, FITNESS, NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION AND NUMEROUS OTHER CLASSES. OUR AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES CONTINUED TO THRIVE AS PARTICIPANTS AND MENTORS SCHEDULED TIMES TO COME ONTO CAMPUS IN PAIRS. AS THE PANDEMIC SUBSIDED AND PROTOCOLS OF ISOLATION WERE REVISED, WE BEGAN TO AGAIN HOLD FULL 5 DAY PER WEEK DAY PROGRAM ACTIVITIES BEGINNING IN AUGUST 2022. PARTICIPANTS ARE AGAIN MEETING ON CAMPUS DAILY, JOINING IN MORNING CIRCLE, DISCUSSING THE VARIOUS OPTIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LA'AKEA COMMUNITY SUCH AS GARDEN AND FARM HARVESTING OF PRODUCE (PAPAYAS, EGGS, AVOCADOS, STAR FRUIT, ULU LEAVES, OREGANO, LEMON GRASS ARE JUST SOME OF THE PRODUCTS WE GROW AND SELL). WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REINSTATE OUR MONTHLY COMMUNITY ACTIVITY CALENDAR AS WELL AND EACH WEEK WE GO INTO THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN VARIOUS EVENTS SUCH AS SURFING, VOLUNTEERING AT MAUI HUMANE SOCIETY, STARLIGHT FARMS VOLUNTEERING. ON CAMPUS WE ALSO HOLD WEEKLY COMMUNITY EVENTS SUCH AS YOGA, JEWELRY MAKING AND NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION CIRCLE. WE HAVE RECENTLY UPGRADED OUR DATA AND GOAL TRACKING CAPABILITIES WITH A SOFTWARE PROGRAM, THERAP. THIS PROGRAM HAS THE CAPABILITIES FOR MENTORS TO LOG DATA IN REAL TIME THROUGH THEIR SMARTPHONE. EVEN THE ANECDOTAL STORIES CAN BE RECORDED. ALL OF THIS IS RESULTING IN INCREASED DATA COLLECTION. FUNDING FROM MEDICAID WAIVER SUBJECTS LA'AKEA TO RIGOROUS AND THOROUGH ANNUAL AUDITS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. ALTHOUGH MEETING COMPLIANCE STANDARDS IS NOT OUR END GOAL, WE VIEW CLEAN AUDITS AND SUCCESSFUL RE- CERTIFICATIONS AS CRITICAL CONFIRMATION OF OUR ABILITY TO SERVE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF OUR PARTICIPANTS. THE COUNTRY STORE IS CONSIDERED A PART OF PROGRAM RATHER THAN A RETAIL ENDEAVOR AND BEEN SUBJECT TO STRICT SAFETY RULES. THIS HAS BEEN A KEY LOCATION FOR MANY SKILL BUILDING AND COMMUNITY INTERACTION ACTIVITIES. THE PANDEMIC NECESSITATED A PIVOT TO PRODUCING A SUBSCRIPTION-BASED WEEKLY CSA PRODUCE BOX DISTRIBUTED IN THE COMMUNITY. PARTICIPANTS WERE INVOLVED IN HARVESTING AND PRODUCING THE BOXES. FOR EXAMPLE, KAT, ONE OF PARTICIPANTS, PICKED AND PACKED THE PRODUCE BOX TO BRING HOME TO HER FATHER WHO WAS ONE OF OUR FIRST CSA MEMBERS. THE "STORE" WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUTSIDE UNDER THE FRESH PA'IA AIR FOR A WEEKLY FARMERS MARKET AND PARTICIPANTS ARE INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS INCLUDING THE HARVESTING, PREPARING, SELLING AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY. IN NOVEMBER, 2022 WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO RE-OPEN THE COUNTRY STORE HERE AT LA'AKEA VILLAGE SO THAT PARTICIPANTS WOULD AGAIN LEARN RETAIL SKILLS OF RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS IN ADDITION TO INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC. OUR COMMUNITY LUNCH AND FOOD PRODUCTION PROGRAM OUT OF THE KITCHEN WAS SHIFTED FOR THE BEGINNING PORTION OF THE YEAR. INITIALLY WE DID HAVE SMALL GROUPS OF 2-4 PEOPLE BACK IN THE KITCHEN TO CONTINUE THEIR SKILLS TRAINING. FOR EXAMPLE, ABBY, ONE OF OUR PARTICIPANTS, RECENTLY RECEIVED HER SAFE FOOD HANDLING CERTIFICATE. SHE IS PRACTICING SAFETY, HYGIENE, AND CLEANING ROUTINES IN THE CAMPUS KITCHEN WITH HER MENTOR TO PREPARE SMALL SCALE MEALS. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RE-INTRODUCE VOLUNTEER LUNCH ONCE A WEEK WITH MANY PARTICIPANTS WHO WORK TO HELP PREPARE THE LUNCH FOR ALL. WHEN WE ARE FULLY STAFFED AND AT PARTICIPANT CAPACITY WE WILL BE ABLE TO AGAIN PREPARE AND EAT LUNCH DAILY. 712866 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 21 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false HI X LA'AKEA VILLAGE 8085798398 PO BOX 790994 PAIA HI 96779 SUSAN GRAHAM PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSHUA CIRCLE-WOODBURN VICE PRESIDE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JACQUELINE NOEL SECRETARY 1.75 X X 0 0 0 TESS DELISA TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES BUCKINGHAM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SPEE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEVIN VINORAY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN HOGARTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARA SMITH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELSEY FINLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTINA LYONS LAMBERT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDSEY SHIROMA DIRECTOR 1.50 X 0 0 0 TIFFANY CHOW DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ASHLEE KLEMPERER EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X X 29423 0 1269 29423 1269 false false false 6500 87881 94381 PROGRAM SERVICE 624100 618685 618685 HOUSING 624100 44044 44044 TUITION 624100 2467 2467 665196 2427 2427 768 768 768 8935 3947 4988 4988 OTHER INCOME 900099 90 90 90 767850 670184 3285 X 30692 26088 3069 1535 433156 368182 43316 21658 53996 45896 5400 2700 68099 57884 6810 3405 14323 7162 7161 144553 72276 72277 3145 3145 3691 369 3137 185 9422 942 8009 471 22183 22183 1036 1036 23414 19902 3512 22239 18903 3336 FOOD 18241 18241 AUTO 15516 15516 FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT 12272 12272 JANITORIAL 6445 6445 16424 16424 898847 712866 156027 29954 541189 196237 203231 64429 95162 782501 227531 578386 554970 198493 198493 1382497 1248093 10455 7048 10455 7048 X 1213414 1241045 158628 1372042 1241045 1382497 1248093 -130997 X false false false X 892148 860841 347835 185659 94381 2380864 99166 100591 794561 473947 674131 2142396 991314 961432 1142396 659606 768512 4523260 3941 29670 6550 4650 10681 55492 18152 5939 24091 22093 35609 6550 4650 10681 79583 4443677 32 2427 2459 32 2427 2459 1579 13151 14730 991314 963011 1155579 659606 770939 4540449 0.97870 0.97850 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 209809 209809 461400 132430 328970 28277 16087 12190 83015 79014 4001 554970 CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS 198493 198493 FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 3 IN 2023, LA'AKEA VILLAGE DISCONTINUED OPERATION OF THE MELE HOUSE, RESIDENTIAL HOME PROGRAM.
