1 CHRYSALIS • 2015 Annual Report

Chrysalis is a nonprofit organization dedicated to

creating a pathway to self-sufficiency

for homeless and low-income individuals by providing the resources and support needed to find and retain employment.

Dear Friend,

Our work at Chrysalis is like trying to solve a puzzle. No two clients walk through our doors with the same life experiences and challenges. Like puzzle pieces, we arrange just the right combination of programs, supports, encouragement, and training to help our clients find a job—and make a beautiful picture come to life.

This year we helped over 2,100 courageous men and women get back on the path to self-sufficiency through employment. And while the economy has improved for many, our clients are the ones with the most significant barriers to employment: lack of education or training, inconsistent job histories, and felony convictions. That is why our staff is working harder and more creatively than ever to make a difference in their lives.

We’ve also partnered with other leaders in the community to help get LA back to work. Whether it’s our leadership in the Los Angeles Regional Initiative for Social Enterprise (LA:RISE), announced by Mayor Garcetti at our downtown office this past summer, or our collaboration with the Department of Probation and other service providers on the Breaking Barriers project, we will do whatever it takes to ensure our clients have the best shot at a brighter future.

The pages that follow illustrate some of the key aspects of our work. We are truly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, and thank you for being a part of our success.

CLIENT DEMOGRAPHICS

Clients come to Chrysalis from varied backgrounds and experiences, but what they all have in common is the hope for a second chance. Our individualized approach allows us to meet each client where they are, put the pieces of their own unique puzzle together, and get them on the path to employment and self-sufficiency.

A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE: HOUSING73% of clients reported being unstably housed or homeless upon arrival at

Chrysalis. We connect them to outside resources while focusing on the job search.

PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER: CONVICTIONS AND THE JOB SEARCHOur clients want to find solutions and move their lives forward. For those with a criminal

history, we help prepare them to talk with potential employers about their record.

CORE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

Chrysalis’ proven array of job-readiness classes and services is the framework that allows our clients to assemble the pieces they need to conduct a successful job search. Our curriculum is designed to improve job search skills, self-confidence, and employability.

In 2015, we refreshed our assessment tools and the line-up of classes to better serve our clients. Our core curriculum now features four Job Prep courses, as well as computer skills classes, customer service training, and specialized programming for those facing a job search with a conviction in their background.

Dedicated volunteers provide one-on-one coaching through resume preparation and practice interviews, while Employment Specialists serve as personal advocates, helping clients access the resources they need to achieve their goals.

Solutions that work: in 2015, Chrysalis launched a new retention initiative, through which we contacted clients at several points throughout the year after they had become employed. Among those reached, 75% were still employed at six months after landing their first job.

COMPLETING THE PUZZLE: RESOURCESServices that meet client needs and are current with job market demands, help lock in great chances at success! In addition to our Core Employment

Program, our clients have access to a range of other resources.

TRANSITIONAL JOBS PROGRAM

For those clients with significant barriers to employment, Chrysalis offers paid, transitional employment with our in-house Chrysalis Enterprises businesses to get them started on the road to permanent, outside employment. Transitional jobs deliver marketable experience and occupational skills in a closely supervised, supportive working environment that allows clients to prove themselves as reliable, capable workers.

Employment Specialists identify clients who may benefit from working a transitional job or have skills that make them an ideal candidate for the staffing segment of our social enterprise businesses. The number of workers gaining employment outside of Chrysalis after joining our staffing pool or street maintenance teams nearly doubled during 2015.

The increase in clients landing outside jobs after working with Chrysalis Enterprises further supports the value of transitional jobs programs. This positive trend has also been proven and vetted by academic studies.

As a subgrantee of the Social Innovation Fund, a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, Chrysalis was selected to be part of a first of its kind study conducted by Mathematica Policy Research. Commissioned by REDF and published in 2015, the study provided convincing evidence that transitional jobs are an effective solution.
