Programs: Front porch owns and operates continuing care retirement communities, other multilevel retirement communities and other operations providing services that enhance the quality of life for those served through independent retirement living, assisted living, skilled nursing, social services, affordable housing and contract management of subsidized housing. Through our affordable housing subsidiary caring housing ministries, we serve thousands of residents at communities throughout the western united states. We strive to create safe and comfortable places that our residents can feel proud to call home. Our mission is to tailor our services to our residents, treating them as people rather than tenants. We understand the sometimes-difficult circumstances of those we serve, and look to meeting their needs while preserving their dignity. We serve low-income families with children who often require far more than a roof over their heads. We reach out into the community to collaborate with others to teach parenting and basic english, and help look for jobs and provide secure transportation. We also partner with outside groups to bring grant money to elderly residents in order to minimize their financial risk and improve their access to transportation, socialization, activities of daily living, and medical care. Many of our communities have special design features to accommodate sight-, mobility-, and hearing-impaired residents - a rarity in affordable housing communities. We've also joined together with another not-for-profit organization, the homes for life foundation, to bring in needed services and case management for residents with chronic mental illness, enabling them to live independently instead of being institutionalized or living on the streets.
each year, the corporation provides services to residents with limited means and benefits to the broader community. The approximate cost of such services for the fiscal year ended march 31, 2017, was $1. 6 million.
