Pandemic Response
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. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina Inc. reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Fundraising Capacity
Revenue
Staffing
Administrative Capacity
Balance Sheet
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
We had to postpone our annual gala, which accounts for approximately 25% of our funding, by 18 months. Our local United Way was not able to raise funds for their annual grantmaking cycle during the pandemic. This will result in us losing $40,000 per year until the grantmaking cycle is reestablished. On a positive note, we received the PPP loan and a $50,000 COVID relief grant from the state. We were able to leverage over $300,000 in CARES Act funding to expand our housing assistance program to serve 3 times more families in need.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
Each client in our residential program was moved to a private room and strict mask, social distancing, and testing protocols were implemented. With each resident in a private room, our available bed capacity was reduced by 25% and our annual census declined by 50%. While the number of young women served has declined, the average length of time in our program increased from 187 to 215 days. In our housing assistance program, many of our clients lost their jobs our had their hours reduced. We had to increase rental assistance and transition support services to phone or video check ins. We were able to leverage over $300,000 in CARES Act funding to expand our housing assistance program to serve 3 times more families in need.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
At the start of the pandemic, we restricted who was allowed to report to work in the residential facility, which also houses our administrative offices. Administrative staff were able to work from home; however, frontline staff who provide 24/7 care and supervision did not have that option. The board approved to continue paying staff through June 2020 at their normal wages, whether or not they were assigned to report to work. Restricting access also required us to shift to virtual programming. All residential clients attended school and supplemental educational programs (such as workforce development and financial education) virtually. This required doubling our internet bandwidth and investing in new laptops and wi-fi extenders. These restrictions have been lifted, and mask and vaccination requirements (for staff only) are in effect. We have invested in more cloud-based services to enable remote work.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
We plan to use cloud-based and web conferencing solutions to offer virtual services to the community.

Story of Adaptability
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
We are implementing significant changes in our program delivery in response to the implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act. We have updated policies and procedures to implement a trauma informed care model. We are in the process of "right sizing" our residential facility to create a more home-like environment for youth in our care, which includes moving our residential services to a smaller home and renovating our current facility to provide affordable housing to clients who graduate from our residential program. Over the next year, we are expanding community-based services to support pregnant and parenting youth who do not need congregate care but need additional support to finish their education and build the foundation for their families' independence.
