Amount Requested: $ 218,348 Funding Recommendation: $ 218,348 General Category: Medical Detailed Description Submitted: Founded in 1974 by parents and special educators in Gallatin County, Reach, Inc. provides vocational, residential, and transportation services to over 100 adults with developmental disabilities here in Bozeman. Our mission is to empower the people we serve to attain their individual goals and aspirations. In order to provide care, Reach owns and operates six residential buildings, a Work Center, and 21 vehicles. We employ approximately 100 people to provide support to our clients. We have a Supported Living service for over 30 clients who live in their own apartments or homes. This year has been remarkably difficult for our organization. People with developmental disabilities have a significantly higher rate of severe illness and mortality from Covid‐19 than the typical population, so keeping them safe from the virus has been our top priority. Additionally, 25% of the people we serve are considered high risk from Covid‐19 because of comorbidities, such as age, medical issues, and other underlying conditions. Following the direction of the Health Department, we adapted the way we operate to keep our clients safe. All of the clients who live in Reach‐owned housing have been sheltering in place since March 16, 2020. Our Work Center closed down, except for essential office staff. Many of our clients temporarily left our services at that time to stay with their families, since sheltering in place also meant not having visitors or being able to work outside the home. Staff have been wearing PPE, monitoring clients and staff for symptoms, and doing a tremendous amount of additional cleaning throughout their shifts. Because of the need to shelter in place, from March 16, 2020 to November 30, 2020, the amount of money we were able to bill the State of Montana for services was down $319,000 from the previous year. We also spent an additional $26,700 on janitorial and first aid supplies, $15,000 to purchase computers for staff to work from home, an additional $3000 on office supplies to accommodate people working from home, and $1000 on Plexiglas to build a visitation area in our Work Center for clients and families to visit without viral exposure. Our production income, from clients working in our Work Center, is down $55,827, but client wages were down $27,504, creating a deficit of $28,323 compared to last year at this time. Other sources of income are also down, including private pay, which currently is down $10,123, fundraising is down $43,865, and vocational rehab income is also down $3,972.We have additional costs as well, including overtime pay, which is up $34,976. Staff who work with clients who are infected with or are potentially infected with Covid ‐19 receive hazard pay, which cost Reach $4,853 through November 30th. To summarize the costs:Personnel costs: Overtime and Hazard Pay increase: $39,829Operational Costs:Billing decrease: $319,474Production decrease: $28,323Voc Rehab billing decrease: $3,972Private Pay decrease: $10,123Fundraising decrease: $43,865First aid, office, and janitorial supply increase: $44,700Capital Support: Plexiglas to build visitation room: $1,000Total Covid‐19 Impact March through November 2020: $491,286 DocuSign Envelope ID: 88BB90CD-D523-4844-B162-9DB9CFD906D0 COVID Non‐Profit Grant Applications Even if our clients receive the first vaccine dose in January, the soonest we will end our shelter in place will be March. Due to the gradual reintegration that will be required to accommodate our clients’ needs, we expect the process to take longer. We also still are waiting to hear when our clients will be able to be vaccinated. Due to this uncertainty, we request four months of coverage for our losses and additional costs in December through March, which is estimated at $218,348.This grant will enable Reach to continue to provide vital supports to adults with developmental disabilities in the Bozeman community, and will support our clients to pursue rewarding careers, have access to reliable transportation, and live as independently as possible. When people have the support they need to flourish, our community is enriched as we move forward together. We hope to come out of this difficult year with a stronger team and clients who can be confident they will continue to receive the best possible care from age 18 to end of life.
