Page 7 of 9 <br /> 274 <br />Many of these individuals were youth - In 2022, about 8 in 10 (65/83) Roseville residents benefitting 275 <br />from NYFS services were under the age of 25. As a proportion of our overall caseload, about 1 in 6 276 <br />youth served is from Roseville. Broken down by municipality, they are the second largest group of 277 <br />youth and young adults we serve – no single city makes up more than 20%. In FY 2021/2022, NYFS 278 <br />provided $64,000 of care to clients with financial barriers to care at low or no cost. In 2022, over 279 <br />$26,000 in services was written off by NYFS as uncompensated mental health care for Roseville 280 <br />residents. Over $74,000 was written off for students in the Roseville School District. NYFS seeks 281 <br />additional funding from individual donors, government contracts, and foundation grants in order to 282 <br />cover this uncompensated care. At the current time, we do not have adequate funding to cover the gap. 283 <br /> 284 <br />The broad reach of our partnerships means we can reach those who most need our services and who 285 <br />may not otherwise be able to access them. To create greater access and reach for these critical 286 <br />services, we partner with Roseville Schools, the City of Roseville and the Roseville Police Department. 287 <br />School-Based Mental Health Services are offered at six schools: Roseville High School, Roseville 288 <br />Middle School, Fairview Alternative School, Little Canada Elementary School, Parkview Elementary 289 <br />School and Central Park Elementary School. Our Youth Diversion program served 11 Roseville youth 290 <br />as the only provider of Diversion and School-Based services in Roseville. 291 <br /> 292 <br />Impact of COVID on organization 293 <br />While COVID caused seismic interruptions, revenue losses and lingering effects, it also provided an 294 <br />opportunity for reflection on agency capacity and allocation of resources. NYFS made many much-295 <br />needed updates – we can now support remote working, provide HIPAA compliant telehealth services 296 <br />and better engage with stakeholders – and we are stronger for it. 297 <br /> 298 <br />NYFS revenue decreased by 34% Quarter 1 (July-September of 2020) compared to the same period in 299 <br />2019. We rebounded through a robust influx of grant dollars – much of which are one-time CARES 300 <br />ACT and COVID relief funds - but still had a revenue drop of 9% for the fiscal year ending 6/30/2021. 301 <br />A decrease in school-based referrals lowered insurance revenue, but supplemental funds through our 302 <br />DHS contract helped cover non-billable services during COVID. The NETS Day treatment program 303 <br />was temporarily closed, reopening in November 2020 with a smaller cohort, causing a 72% decrease in 304 <br />revenue, a loss of $297,506. Through cutting expenses and CARES Act funds we brought the net loss 305 <br />down to $87,787. Individual contributions are down 50% - a loss of $82,965. NYFS owns the building 306 <br />that houses the Shoreview Clinic, where rental income is down 5% for a loss of $22,102. NYFS secured 307 <br />a PPP loan (forgiven in 2021, when it was recognized as revenue) which helped make up 2020 losses. 308 <br />We secured a second PPP loan, critical to the continuity of services, which was forgiven. 309 <br /> 310 <br />Beyond the immediate fiscal and operational effects of COVID, we have seen longer term and more 311 <br />concerning trends that effect the overall ability of the nonprofit community mental health sector to 312 <br />recover. Most significantly, we are seeing youth with much higher symptoms, more significant trauma, 313 <br />and more difficulty functioning – many in acute crisis. This has resulted in significant pressure on the 314 <br />MH Workforce, and we are seeing many people leave psychotherapy roles because of the effects on 315 <br />their own mental health and wellbeing. The staff attrition and accelerated retirements have had a 316 <br />significant impact on NYFS, and on our revenue. Additionally, we have higher percentage of clients 317 <br />that miss sessions due to illness, which especially in our day treatment program, means additional lost 318 <br />revenue. 319 <br /> 320 <br />Use of ARPA grant funds 321
