What Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development does
Mission
Tumbleweed had been helping young people get off the streets and move toward becoming a self-sufficient adult.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Casa de suenos --three residential housing sites for up to 30 unaccompanied minor refugees referred to tumbleweed from the federal office of refugee resettlement orr. Having often been exposed to exploitation, human trafficking and violence, these child survivors get medical care, counseling, skills development, serves acculturation, language development and continuing education. This program was up for competitive renewal starting october 2016 but orr provided extensions through february 2017 citing a vague explanation about the department being held up with contract renewals. In february, line staff were the first individuals informed by our assigned federal agents that the contract was not going to renew and we had one week to assist in the transfer of client cases. From july 2016 through february 2017, 102 clients were served in this program.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
