2015 - 2016

for People with Disabilities, Seniors & Disadvantaged Populations

Annual Report

a full array of services

people across new mexico were impacted by adelante programs and services in 2016

Adelante has overcome many challenges since we began operations in 1978. The past few years have been more difficult than most – a fact I can vouch for, having served with this caring, capable team for most of that time.

The challenges of our mission remain:Ÿ Unacceptably high unemployment rates for people

with disabilities, and changes that threaten to limit choices for their services and care

Ÿ Growing numbers of seniors who need support while options and funding are not keeping pace

Ÿ Disadvantaged people across New Mexico who need support to remain a vital part of the workforce and community

Adelante has faced Medicaid Waiver funding cuts for several years, which has been a challenge. We built this organization to create a full array of services and worry these may be disappearing in the future, especially for those with the most severe disabilities. Funding for senior care is not keeping pace as our nation ages. New Mexico continues to rank among the worst for poverty and job loss. These are trends we need to address as a community to ensure these critical services remain viable and to ease the strain placed on the caregivers in our communities.

Despite these challenges, Adelante is evolving to remain sustainable and serve our community. We are stepping in to help other struggling nonprofits where we can. Our chosen role as a nonprofit organization is to be a true community resource that addresses the needs around us, with the bottom line of improving lives. Together, we continue to move forward with confidence in the importance of our mission. We appreciate your continued support, and we are reporting on our accomplishments so you can see how your investment has helped thousands of people across the Land of Enchantment. Thank you, and Siempre Adelante!

people with disabilities participate in adelante’s community options programs – learning in the community.

hours were spent by adelante community optionsprograms in the community in 2016 on a variety of activities

In years past, people with disabilities were often isolated at home or in large residential complexes. That model

limited opportunities for people, increased stereotypes, and had an impact on what people could learn. After all,

seeing a book about a museum is not the same as visiting it in person or having a chance to touch items or

ask questions while you’re there. Without getting out and trying things for yourself, it is very difficult to learn

key independence skills such as how to use public transportation, cross a street safely, or identify the right restroom sign. Opportunities for learning are all around

us, and Adelante supports people with disabilities in encountering those life lessons.

Cultural and seasonal events raise awareness and can help people understand their own heritage more fully.

Visits to restaurants or shops provide opportunities to work on social skills and money management.

Volunteering reminds people with disabilities they are valued members of our community. Gardening builds

patience and endurance while offering education about plant growth, natural cycles and nutrition. That’s why

Adelante’s Community Options programs spend so many hours in the community. Yes, we have locations

that offer learning like computers and cooking, and where people put on performances, but our goal is to have people participate in the community as much as

they choose. To Adelante, the key is individual choice. Some people love to be on the go the whole day and we

support that. Others enjoy going out for a few hours, but returning to a familiar site where they can lunch with friends, listen to music while they work on the

computer, or just rest in an environment designed to address their specific needs. Adelante offers a full range

of day programs to support each individual, driven by his or her specific goals.

people with disabilities found or maintained jobs in the community this year through adelante’s employability and

ticket to work programs. adelante has a strong, long-term track record including 17 people who have successfully worked for the same employer for 10 years or more.

Adelante has been working on reducing unemployment rates for people with disabilities for nearly 40 years. However, the fact remains that over 70% of people with disabilities are not participating in the workforce. We presume that people want to work and Adelante believes there should be a full range of options available to ensure that everyone has opportunities to enter the workforce in the manner they choose.

Adelante has the largest and most successful supported employment program in New Mexico for people with disabilities – . Operating EmployAbilitymuch like any other employment service, Adelante helps people develop resumes and interact with potential employers – with the addition of job coaches when people need extra support. Our team also offers information to local businesses regarding tax breaks and other incentives for affirmative hiring. Adelante appreciates the local businesses who have welcomed and encouraged people with disabilities to become part of their teams. Adelante EmployAbility has helped thousands of people become employed in the community, with many having completed over 10 years of successful work with their employers.

Adelante also operates the largest and most successful Ticket to Work employment network in New Mexico. In 2016, we expanded our Ticket to Work program nationally, and Adelante is ranked in the top 4% of providers. Ticket to Work is for adults who receive Social Security disability payments. The goal is to find people steady, good paying jobs that lessen their dependence on government benefits and help them earn enough to achieve complete independence. Adelante uses our knowledge of workforce incentives, resume development, and interview coaching, among other assets, to help people find and maintain employment.

Adelante has a preference and priority for competitive employment in the community

employment

Employment is a primary goal of most adults, including people with severe disabilities. As a result, our

organization also offers vocational training and employment through Adelante’s social enterprises. There

is no previous experience required, it’s real world work, and everyone has the opportunity to earn more money

and receive promotions. Referrals are always available for people who want to try opportunities in other community

businesses. Adelante feels it is important to model an affirmative workplace and demonstrate to other potential employers that people with disabilities can be successful

employees in a variety of positions.

Multiple work opportunities are available to match the skills, needs, and goals of a wide range of people.

people with disabilities take part in adelante’s arts & animals program

Art is a proven and well-worn path to personal exploration, as well as individual expression about who we are and what we believe. Fine art techniques including painting, focused drawing, pottery, ceramics and sculpture are all rolled together to allow people with disabilities an opportunity to explore multiple mediums and formats. Brush techniques, color theory, still life, portraiture, and the study of various artists and their styles are part of the curriculum in Adelante’s art program. Performances with singing and dancing are choices for people to select from, as well. Recycled art costumes, a variety of dance styles, and music genres help people expand their view of the world and the range of activities they can enjoy.

As the name suggests, Adelante’s Arts & Animals program also involves animals. The program is a working site for assistance dogs in training who need to be socialized and accustomed to a range of people and assistive equipment. People with disabilities help to teach puppies basic commands like sit, stay, come, and how to walk on a leash. The animals provide friendship and fun, but they also are integrated into the program in meaningful and important ways. The dogs need to be walked, which provides an opportunity for exercise and stretching for the people who are helping to train them. Giving the dogs commands also helps people with disabilities learn to communicate more clearly, make better eye contact, and improve their range of motion. People also build confidence taking the dogs to senior centers and being in charge of them on outings.

In 2015, Adelante’s Arts & Animals team began to explore more sculpture and 3-D projects as a focus area for interested artists. In 2016, pottery activities and glazing techniques were expanded with a dedicated pottery studio. The painting area was also spruced up and revitalized with donor support this year.

community living 24/7 residential support | independent living | family living

People with disabilities have the same goals and desires as the larger population – to live where they

want to and step out as adults, typically beyond their parents’ homes. Adelante offers multiple levels of residential support services to meet the needs of

people with disabilities, whether that is 24/7 support or intermittent visits to ensure safety and happiness.

The overarching goal is to allow each individual as much freedom as their disabilities will support, so

every person can live his or her life to the fullest, as part of the community. Adelante’s Community Living

services are offered in Valencia County and in the Albuquerque metro area.

Adelante supports people with disabilities who live with their families through Family Living/Home-

Based Services. We offer training to caregivers, quality checks, support, and advocacy for the

individual’s goals and dreams.

Through Adelante’s program, Independent Livingpeople live in their own apartments or homes, alone or with roommates, and Adelante team members visit on

a scheduled basis to support them. People with disabilities appreciate that Independent Living offers a great amount of freedom and community interaction.

Parents and guardians appreciate that Adelante is checking in and helping with household budgeting,

banking, cooking lessons, and other life skills. Adelante also helps people participate in social and

community events so they can truly live fully and successfully, on their own terms.

Adelante supports over 20 homes that offer accessible housing, nursing, nutritional support, and round-the-

clock care. Homes are owned by Adelante or by the residents, but all of them include well-trained and

supportive staff members. This service accommodates a full range of needs for on-the-go people and even

those who are medically fragile, but still want the opportunity to live and socialize in the community.

of america’s food goes to waste. desert harvest is making use of that surplus food in new mexico20%New Mexico is ranked among the worst in the nation

for hunger, with 1 in 4 children going hungry. Hunger impacts child development, educational outcomes, and eventually adult productivity. Our state suffers multiple challenges as a result.

As a community resource, Adelante feels it is important to be part of the solution, addressing the ongoing issue of food insecurity in New Mexico. Desert Harvest also provides ongoing volunteer opportunities for people with disabilities involved in Adelante’s Community Options programs.

Through Desert Harvest Food Rescue, Adelante helps rescue over 127,000 pounds of food per month from local restaurants and grocers. This program is a triple win for the community:

Ÿ Desert Harvest provides food to 16 nonprofit organizations, allowing them to focus more resources on actual programs

Ÿ Desert Harvest makes use of prepared and surplus food from grocers and restaurants that might otherwise go to waste. One of the reasons Adelante began this program in 2001 was to reduce food waste. Government estimates show that nearly 20% of America’s food goes to waste. In a state with so many hungry people, we wanted to make sure we are taking advantage of food sources others are not.

Ÿ Desert Harvest provides valuable volunteer opportunities for people with disabilities in Adelante’s Community Options programs. This is a great opportunity for people with disabilities to give back to the community and be part of the solution to one of New Mexico’s most persistent social problems.

For over 15 years, Desert Harvest has rescued millions of pounds of food, benefitting thousands of people throughout the Albuquerque metro area and Valencia County. We appreciate our food donors and recipient agencies who partner with Adelante in making this kind of tremendous impact on hunger in our state.

back in use

Back in Use began as a program to provide recycling for assistive devices. The goal was to get unused

wheelchairs, walkers, and other equipment out of people’s closets and back into use with seniors and

people with disabilities who needed them, but could not afford them. This device recycling effort continues to be

important work – with poverty in New Mexico and rising medical costs which push items even further out

of reach. Within a few years, computers were also added to the list of items Adelante could provide for

communication and employment needs.

Back in Use has diversified and changed to meet even more needs in the community. Adelante helps address

the digital divide in New Mexico, providing technology to people in need and the nonprofit organizations who support them in New Mexico. In 2016, 510 computers

were refurbished. Networks were set up to educate children at schools and nonprofit organizations.

Individuals with disabilities were given computers to return to school or to work.

As an added benefit, Adelante has used the IT segment of Back in Use to provide technology jobs for people with disabilities who learn to load software, wipe hard

drives, refurbish computers, and set up networks. People get valuable experience that builds their resumes, along

with support to pursue IT certifications and degrees. These jobs are sought after by many millennials,

including students with disabilities.

Adelante greatly appreciates the donors who make this possible – whether they give a used wheelchair or are a

major computer donor like Intel. Adelante could not operate Back in Use without your support. Together, we can continue to expand this program and create an even

more beneficial community resource.

community resources wellness referral center | benets connection center

New Mexico has among the highest numbers of people living in poverty in the country. Many are eligible for governmental benefits such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid and Medicare Savings Programs. These safety net programs exist to help the struggling, hungry and sick people in our communities, but often the people most in need have no idea how to apply or don’t have computer access or know-how to do so. That’s where Adelante Benefits Connection Center comes in. We offer a free service that helps New Mexico’s seniors and people with disabilities connect to public assistance programs. Like a one stop shop, Adelante screens people to determine what they are eligible to receive across a list of programs. Then, people can decide what they would like to apply for and Adelante helps them complete and submit the necessary paperwork. With the digital divide that affects so many of our rural communities, this is an important service.

Adelante also utilizes our in Contact Centercooperation with Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation to operate the . Wellness Referral CenterThe medical establishment is embracing the idea that the vast majority of factors that impact our health, often estimated at 90% or higher, happen outside the doctor’s office. What we eat, how often we exercise, what we cook and how it’s prepared – all make a big difference in health outcomes. Today, when providers prescribe healthy cooking classes or walking regimens for people with chronic diseases, Adelante contacts the patients to sign them up for classes and follows up to make sure they have attended. Closing the final loop, we let the doctor know the patient has completed those wellness activities. As medical costs continue to rise, Adelante hopes to be part of the solution, not just to reduce costs, but to improve overall health in our state.

As senior citizens are making up an ever-greater proportion of the population in our country, a range of economic and social shifts are also unfolding. Adelante

is utilizing our caregiving skill sets to expand options for seniors in our communities. Adelante believes that a

majority of elders would prefer options beyond traditional nursing homes and to remain in

neighborhoods as long as possible, rather than isolated from the larger community. Our senior programs

support this mindset.

Compadres Senior Center offers care and activities Monday through Friday on a full-time, part-time, or as

needed basis to support seniors who live with their families or other caregivers. We recognize that many caregivers have to work, and seniors need a safe and

enriching environment to be during standard work hours. Compadres was created around gardening, fine

arts, and fitness – areas proven to help seniors maintain their mental and physical abilities. Staff members are

there to assist with personal care and medications. Unlike many senior offerings, there are no initial entry

fees, and the hourly rate is very cost-effective.

Adelante also operates the Senior Meals & Transportation Service in Doña Ana County. Seniors

can dine free of charge or at a low cost at six senior center sites, or enjoy a home delivered meal.

Operated under contract through the Area Agencies on Aging, Adelante also provides transportation to

appointments and shopping. With senior hunger and transportation key challenges in New Mexico, these are

highly valued services for some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens.

Adelante is currently exploring small-setting housing options for seniors, with a goal of providing safe and

affordable options in local neighborhoods. We will keep donors informed as these programs are developed.

income | expenses | how your investment was utilized financials

Adelante is a diverse nonprofit organization by design. The leadership has purposely sought to

expand program and service offerings to ensure that people with disabilities and seniors have the

community resources they need, and that programs are stable. As an organization that

provides long-term support services for thousands of people, financial stability is imperative. It is

Adelante’s financial management strategy to diversify funding streams, while using resources

wisely, to manage funding reductions such as cuts the disability field has faced with Medicaid Waiver.

As a care provider and the largest disability employer in New Mexico, a majority of expenses

are invested in people, with the biggest portion going to staff members directly supporting people

with disabilities or seniors. Adelante consistently invests nearly 75% of expenses in salaries and

benefits. The organization takes special pride in the nearly $2.1 million earned by people with

disabilities at Adelante.

Senior program expenses neared $1 million this year and are expected to grow, as the organization

expands into senior residential services.

We truly view donations from the community as an investment in the people we support. Adelante appreciates the donors and foundations that help

sustain existing services and develop new programs and services to meet community needs.
