------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMUNITY FUTURES FOUNDATION (THE "AGENCY") SERVES ADULTS WITH ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURIES AS A RESULT OF TRAUMA (E.G., MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS, FALLS OR ASSAULT) AND SURVIVORS OF STROKES, ANEURISMS AND ANOXIC BRAIN INJURIES. PARTICIPATING INDIVIDUALS ARE REFERRED TO AS MEMBERS OR CLIENTS DEPENDING UPON WHICH SERVICE THEY ENGAGE (HEREAFTER "MEMBERS") AND RANGE IN AGE FROM 18 TO 60+ YEARS OF AGE AND FROM SIX MONTHS TO 30+ YEARS POST-INJURY. MEMBERS ALSO RANGE IN ABILITY FROM REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE ON BASIC TASKS TO THOSE WHO ARE MORE INDEPENDENT IN DAILY ACTIVITIES PLAYING A MENTORING ROLE TO OTHERS. THE AGENCY CONDUCTS ITS ACTIVITIES AS COMMUNITY BRAIN INJURY SERVICES. THE AGENCY'S ACTIVITIES ARE PATTERNED AFTER THE CLUBHOUSE MODEL OF PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION ("CLUBHOUSE") CREATED BY MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND ACTIVELY IN USE FOR MORE THAN EIGHT DECADES. CLUBHOUSE PROGRAMS FOLLOW A STRICT SET OF GUIDELINES; ONE KEY COMPONENT TO THE CLUBHOUSE PHILOSOPHY IS AN EMPHASIS ON THE POWER OF WORK, A CENTRAL THEME IN OUR ADULT SOCIETY THAT DEFINES MANY INDIVIDUALS. THROUGH WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE AGENCY'S TRAINED STAFF, MEMBERS GAIN THE NECESSARY WORK SKILLS, BEHAVIORS, AND SELF-CONFIDENCE TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL VOCATIONALLY AND IN DAILY LIFE. THE AGENCY OPERATES TWO CLUBHOUSES (THE MILL HOUSE IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA AND THE DENBIGH HOUSE IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA), EACH DESIGNED TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF GROWTH, NEW POSSIBILITIES, AND ON-GOING SUPPORT LEADING TO IMPROVED SOCIAL AND VOCATIONAL OUTCOMES FOR EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL. THE AGENCY ALSO PROVIDES INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURIES LIVING IN A WIDE LOCALITY SERVICE AREA. GEOGRAPHIC AREAS HISTORICALLY SERVED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA INCLUDE HENRICO COUNTY, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, CITY OF HAMPTON, CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS, YORK COUNTY, THE CITY OF RICHMOND AND TWELVE (12) OTHER LOCALITIES IN THE METRO RICHMOND AND VIRGINIA PENINSULA GEOGRAPHIC AREAS. IN 2023, THE AGENCY EXPANDED SERVICES TO INCLUDE SEVEN NEW LOCALITIES: SURRY, DINWIDDIE AND PRINCE GEORGE COUNTIES AND FOUR ADDITIONAL COUNTIES IN THE MIDDLE PENINSULA GEOGRAPHIC AREA. CASE MANAGEMENT IS A COLLABORATIVE SERVICE OF ASSISTING AN INDIVIDUAL AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S FAMILY OR SUPPORT SYSTEM BY IDENTIFYING AND ACCESSING THE NEEDS OF A MEMBER AND DEVELOPING AN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN TO BEST MEET THOSE NEEDS. THE AGENCY IS ACCREDITED THROUGH THE COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF REHABILITATION FACILITIES ("CARF"). CARF IS AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED NON-PROFIT ACCREDITING BODY THAT PROVIDES ACCREDITATION IN THE HUMAN SERVICES FIELD FOCUSING ON THE AREAS OF REHABILITATION, EMPLOYMENT AND COMMUNITY, CHILD AND FAMILY, AND AGING SERVICES. CARF PROVIDES SIX LEVELS OF ACCREDITATION RANGING FROM ACCREDITATION WITH STIPULATIONS TO A FULL THREE-YEAR ACCREDITATION. SINCE 2006, THE AGENCY HAS RECEIVED CARF'S HIGHEST ACCREDITATION, THE THREE-YEAR ACCREDITATION WHICH SIGNIFIES THAT THE AGENCY (1) SATISFIES EACH OF THE CARF ACCREDITATION CONDITIONS, (2) DEMONSTRATES SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMITY TO SPECIFIC STANDARDS OF QUALITY, AND (3) MAINTAINS PROGRAMS DESIGNED AND OPERATED TO BENEFIT THE PERSONS IT SERVES. THE AGENCY'S ACCREDITATION EXPIRES IN FISCAL 2025. FROM JULY 1, 2022 TO JUNE 30, 2023, THE AGENCY PROVIDED SERVICES TO 463 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS DURING THE YEAR (REPRESENTING AN INCREASE FROM THE 443 UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS SERVED IN THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR). THIS INCREASE WAS DUE TO A SIZABLE INCREASE IN ITS SERVICES ACROSS ALL SERVICE AREAS.
