This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition Inc. reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Fundraising Capacity
Revenue
Staffing
Administrative Capacity
Grants Received
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
The influx of funding for direct services with no administrative/operational funding caused a huge strain on staff and our service delivery platform. While we continued services at a very high rate, mental health of the team was worn down. We desperately need to add funding for administrative support staff to continue at the pace we are today or be forced to turn back valuable grant funding to assist our clients.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
While we are serving more clients than ever with homeless prevention, rapid rehousing, and outreach we have had to slightly scale back on the highly productive pace to ensure staff has adequate down time.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
We modified our workplace scheduling to include remote work opportunities for all staff. Productivity has increased since this implementation during 2020.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
Remote work opportunities along with teaming fun events to keep moral up.
