June 2010 Overview 2010: The New Year 2010 is a transition year for The Jesse Tree. At the end of September a huge portion of storm-related, federal funding will end. Fortunately, we have had good guidance and used the funding to subsidize existing positions and only hired part-time individuals to fill gaps. Our goal is to replace these funds to continue our operations and increase our stability. We have served our clients admirably. We have sustained and assisted the staff, as well. The financial story for the past six months has been fairly static; we have prepared a fund-raising and grant-writing schedule to address these needs in the second half of the year. The storm-related funding has served as a "fixed-income" giving us time to attend to some of the other storm-related issues, such as facilities, vehicles and operations. We have also worked to adapt policies and procedures to the "new normal" that is emerging in our daily operations. We have prepared a six month report to give you an update on how The Jesse Tree is connecting, rebuilding and uplifting those with whom we work.

Total # clients served through the HPRP Initiative: *This project has created a significant cash-flow problem in that reimbursements are not received in a timely fashion and have exceeded $35,000 in one billing cycle. The documentation and reporting are excessive and the grant does not allow sufficient funds for indirect costs. Ted Hanley, Executive Director Page 24
