Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $3.7 million spent. ALLIANCE HUMAN SERVICES, INC. PROVIDES FOSTER CARE SERVICES TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO HAVE EMOTIONAL OR BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, ARE MEDICALLY FRAGILE, OR ARE IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. MOST OFTEN, THE CHILDREN WE SERVE HAVE BEEN SERVED UNSUCCESSFULLY IN HOMES IN OTHER AGENCIES, OR COME FROM MORE RESTRICTIVE SETTINGS, SUCH AS RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS. IN ORDER TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES WE RECRUIT, TRAIN, AND PROVIDE ON-GOING COUNSELING AND CASE COORDINATION TO TALENTED AND CARING ADULTS WHO SERVE AS FOSTER PARENTS. OUR FOSTER PARENTS PROVIDE HOMES THAT ARE SAFE, AND SUPPORTIVE. WE AGGRESSIVELY RECRUIT FOSTER PARENTS FROM A DIVERSE POPULATION. WE FOCUS ON CAREFULLY ASSESSING THE STRENGTHS AND NEEDS OF OUR CHILDREN AND MAKING EXCELLENT MATCHES WITH SKILLED FOSTER PARENTS. OUR FOSTER PARENTS ARE EXPERIENCED AND COMPASSIONATE. WE ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS BY ENSURING THAT THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH ARE RECEIVING ALL OTHER SERVICES THEY NEED FOR THEIR SUCCESS, SUCH AS APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL SUPPORTS, PERSONAL OR GROUP COUNSELING OR THERAPY, AND OTHER CASE COORDINATION SERVICES. IN ADDITION, WE ASSIST FOSTER PARENTS IN OBTAINING RESPITE SO THAT THEY CAN BE REFRESHED WHILE THE CHILDREN ARE SAFE AND HAVING THEIR NEEDS MET.
