BLOCK HOMES ARE PERMITTED AND PLACED IN HOMEOWNERS' BACKYARDS THROUGHOUT SEATTLE. THIS MODEL GIVES RESIDENTS A PLACE TO CALL HOME AND COMMUNITIES AROUND THE CITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN SUPPORTING OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS TOGETHER. BLOCK HOME RESIDENTS ARE SUPPORTED IN THIS TRANSITION INTO HOUSING BY OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS TEAM, WHICH INCLUDES FACING HOMELESSNESS SOCIAL WORKERS AND COMMUNITY COMPANIONS, WHO PROVIDE BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL SUPPORT NETWORKS, IN ADDITION TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH CASE MANAGEMENT, ADVOCACY AND MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES.BLOCK HOME HOSTS SIGN GROUND LEASES, ALLOWING THE BLOCK HOMES TO RESIDE ON THE HOST'S PROPERTY. THESE LEASES ARE FOR AN INITIAL TERM OF FIVE YEARS, WITH THE INTENTION TO RENEW. HOWEVER, WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL HOSTS WHO HAVE HAD A CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCE, OR A SITUATION ARISE IN WHICH IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THE HOST TO CONTINUE IN OUR PROGRAM. FACING HOMELESSNESS HAS TWO OPTIONS WITH BLOCK HOMES WHERE THE HOSTS AND THE ORGANIZATION CANNOT MEET THE TERMS OF THE GROUND LEASE FOR THE ENTIRE FIVE-YEAR DURATION: EITHER REMOVE THE BLOCK HOMES OR LEAVE THEM IN PLACE. THE FIRST NINE BLOCK HOMES WERE CONSTRUCTED IN A WAY THAT IS INCREDIBLY COST PROHIBITIVE FOR SALVAGING AND REMOVAL, ESPECIALLY AS FUNDS COULD BE USED TOWARDS BUILDING NEW BLOCK HOMES. AS SUCH, TWO BLOCK HOMES WERE LEFT ONSITE AND SOLD TO THE HOSTS TO MINIMIZE THE COST AND RESOURCE IMPACTS ON FACING HOMELESSNESS. FROM THE TENTH BLOCK HOME FORWARD, A NEW DE-CONSTRUCTABLE DESIGN HAS BEEN INCORPORATED, WHICH GREATLY REDUCES THE BURDEN OF COST OF REMOVING AND SALVAGING THE MATERIALS OF A BLOCK HOME. AT EVERY LEASE NEGOTIATION ALL OPTIONS ARE CONSIDERED TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND PROPERTY OWNER. IN EARLY 2024, FACING HOMELESSNESS HAD SEVERAL EXPECTED SOURCES OF FUNDING EITHER CANCEL OR DELAY PAYMENT INDEFINITELY, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF NEARLY 40% OF PLANNED REVENUE FOR 2024. WITH VERY LITTLE CASH ON HAND AND UNABLE TO SECURE EMERGENCY FUNDING, THE BOARD VOTED TO CEASE OPERATIONS IN MARCH 2024 AND TO SEARCH FOR NEW HOMES FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMS. UNABLE TO FIND A HOME FOR THE BLOCK PROJECT, THE BOARD PROCEEDED WITH DISSOLVING THE BLOCK PROJECT LLC IN AUGUST 2024; FACING HOMELESSNESS WILL CONTINUE OPERATIONS AS AN ALL-VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION, FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. 71321 CRISIS DIVERSION AND MITIGATION AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION: WE ETHICALLY TELL STORIES AND SHARE PHOTOS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WITH THE SIMPLE PURPOSE OF SHOWING THE BEAUTY IN EACH PERSON. FOR THOSE LIVING INSIDE, THIS SERVES AS A SOFT ENTRY TO THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS. IT IS A SMALL STEP TOWARDS OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS OF NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES AND FEAR. FOR THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE, IT IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS OVERCOMING FEELINGS OF BEING INVISIBLE. IT CREATES A CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES. 298742 DIRECT CLIENT SERVICES - WINDOW OF KINDNESS: THE WINDOW OF KINDNESS IS A PHYSICAL PLACE OF CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR OFFICE AND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. AT THE WINDOW, WE HAND OUT THOUSANDS OF SOCKS, SLEEPING BAGS, AND OTHER SUPPLIES ESSENTIAL TO STAYING DRY AND WARM. PEOPLE OFTEN STOP BY FOR CONVERSATION, A HOT MEAL, AND A LISTENING EAR. EVERYTHING WE GIVE IS A VEHICLE FOR LOVE AND CONNECTION. THE WINDOW OF KINDNESS IS A METAPHOR FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES WE EACH HAVE TO EXCHANGE KINDNESS WITH THOSE IN NEED. 905843 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WA X THE ORGANIZATION 2066327299 4001 9TH AVE NE SEATTLE WA 98105 JOHN MULLIN INTERIM EXEC DIR (UNTIL 9/2023) 40.00 X 60806 0 0 CHRISTINA ROCKS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 40020 0 1201 KEVIN GLACKIN-COLEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (UNTIL 2/2023) 40.00 X 32083 0 962 JOHN MULLIN PRESIDENT 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JACK MOWREADER TREASURER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 TOLU AKINOLA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 NAJJA BROWN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JORDAN IVERSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIAN RONSSE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BETH STREMPLER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOE SKY-TUCKER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MOE ZAW DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AMANDA SACHS DIRECTOR (UNTIL 12/2023) 2.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY WALDMAN DIRECTOR (UNTIL 10/2023) 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHELLI YOUNG DIRECTOR (UNTIL 10/2023) 2.00 X 0 0 0 132909 0 2163 0 0 0 0 0 150944 932813 193602 1083757 1389 1389 4885 5060 -175 -175 -175 22974 150944 31750 -8776 -8776 1076195 0 0 -7562 135072 33769 101303 503379 406914 96465 11147 8935 2212 25567 25567 51224 38293 12931 5069 4760 309 3400 3400 113668 113668 34088 34088 4832 415 4417 19654 5874 13780 19485 1789 17696 40160 1489 38671 10599 9991 608 66976 66976 IN-KIND EXPENSES 126151 124961 1190 BLOCK CONSTRUCTION 64588 64588 BLOCK SHOP EXPENSES 59615 59615 MISC EXPENSES 34594 32326 2268 19581 19581 1348849 905843 329338 113668 355420 179039 339285 118053 53332 34995 1853317 228806 1457401 1624511 2205438 1956598 0 0 X 2047814 1888708 157624 67890 2205438 1956598 2205438 1956598 -272654 23814 0 X 0 0 0 X 1774296 1211911 1324864 1049753 1083757 6444581 1774296 1211911 1324864 1049753 1083757 6444581 348880 6095701 3 44 77 3360 1389 4873 39803 39803 6489257 0.93940 0.93310 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1669837 215996 1453841 6991 5476 1515 176489 7334 169155 1624511 X X X X 1 COMMON GREAT LLC 215 10TH AVE E 329 SEATTLE WA 98102 ASSISTED WITH FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS 0 698122 90628 607494 MISSION FORWARD FUNDRAISING 319 NW 205TH ST SHORELINE WA 98177 GRANT WRITER 0 57200 23040 34160 755322 113668 641654 BLOCK PARTY 173918 150944 22974 13783 9191 8776 173918 150944 22974 13783 9191 8776 31750 -8776 X 130230 FMV X 1 5060 FMV X CONSTRUCTION SERVICES 6 58312 FMV 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD PRIOR TO SUBMISSION TO THE IRS.
