Santa Monica, California, Chief Financial Officer About Upward Bound House Upward Bound House is a community-based, social agency founded in 1991 to help mitigate the affordable housing crisis on the West side of Los Angeles County and its impact on homeless families with children. Our mission is to eliminate homelessness among families with children in our community by providing housing, supportive services, and advocacy. We strive to reduce the number of homeless families with minor children who are hungry and living on the streets of Los Angeles, by helping them access basic resources and successfully transition into their own homes with the capacity to remain there permanently. Since our inception, UBH has helped over 2,930 families – including more than 5,730 children – transition from homelessness into permanent housing, with over 90% of families remaining stably housed more than one year later. Strategic Plan 2022 to 2023 In 2022, and in partnership with the Center for Nonprofit Management, the Board of Directors adopted a new strategic plan for 2023 through 2025. The Plan identified two north stars that are woven into the initiatives that flow from the plan: Disrupting intergenerational homelessness Centering financial sustainability for families Study patterns show that intergenerational homelessness is on the rise.Thisoccurs when two generations of a family experience homelessness: either together (i.e., family homelessness) or separately. The widening economic, social, and health disparities created over the last decades have exacerbated this trend, and we now seesequential generationsof families experiencing homelessness. In order to end family homelessness, it is critical to develop and implement solutions for the entire family unit and not just the head of household. UBH's approach involves working directly with children within the family because data shows that generational poverty is a key driver of intergenerational homelessness. Children who grow up withhousing insecurity and a lack of resources and opportunities are 3 to 4 times more likely to experience homelessness. Intentionally embracing children as central beneficiaries and participants in stabilizing families will be a game changer in ending family homelessness. Leveling the playing field for these children means access to educational, social, and health resources which will give them a chance to compete for opportunities that will lead to self-sufficiency. The majority of homeless families cite economic reasons as the primary cause of their homelessness. Addressing this root cause is the key to ensuring housing stability. In centering financial sustainability as a lifestyle practice, UBH's approach is to empower each family to articulate what a sustainability practice looks like for them and then charting a pathway to achieve it.
