INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors

Building Changes

Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Building Changes, which comprise the

statement of financial position as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of activities, functional

expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in

accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design,

implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of

financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We

conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about

whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in

the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation

and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate

in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's

internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the

appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for

our audit opinion.

2

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of Building Changes as of December 31, 2014, and the changes in its net assets and its

cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the

United States.

Prior Period Financial Statements

The financial statements of Building Changes as of December 31, 2013, were audited by other auditors

whose report dated April 25, 2014, expressed an unmodified opinion.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated

________________________, on our consideration of internal control at Building Changes over financial

reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and

grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing

of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to

provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an

integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the

internal control at Building Changes over financial reporting and compliance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Activities and Organization

Building Changes is a nonprofit organization conducting activities in Washington State to transform the

ways communities work together to end family and youth homelessness. Building Changes believes that

homelessness can be significantly reduced in Washington State when nonprofits, government, and

philanthropy work seamlessly together in a high-performing system that tailors solutions to the needs of

each individual and family.

Mission: Building Changes believes everyone deserves the opportunity for a home, a healthy life, and a

good job. Building Changes unites public and private partners to create innovative solutions through

expert advice, grantmaking, and advocating for lasting change.

Vision: End homelessness together.

Values: Integrity, equity, collaboration, and results.

How Building Changes Works

Building Changes works collaboratively with nonprofits, government, and philanthropy to advance proven

strategies that hold the promise of ending homelessness. Building Changes provides capacity building,

funding, and policy guidance so its partners can do the best work possible. Building Changes' primary

activities are:

Building the capacity of front-line providers and government agencies so they have the knowledge

and skills they need to improve and sustain their programs.

Demonstrating impact through data collection and evaluation.

Providing grants for promising programs and proven solutions to homelessness.

Targeting policy changes that strengthen the approach of collaborative partners to ending

homelessness.

Building Changes' Approach

Building Changes acts as a "compassionate engineer," designing and implementing a better system to end

homelessness. If Building Changes can change the systems that serve the homeless, it can help

communities make more efficient use of their resources - and ultimately, transform lives. Building Changes

applies and tests the following proven and promising strategies:

Economic Opportunities - Promote long-term stability by collaborating with workforce systems and

incorporating educational and employment programs and services into housing.

Rapid Re-Housing - Quickly move people into housing; provide short-term rental assistance, case

management, and employment assistance.

Evaluation - Collect data and evaluate the impact of these approaches to continually improve the

work of communities.

Prevention - Keep families and individuals from falling into homelessness by coordinating efforts

among housing, education, child welfare, health care, social services, and government.

Coordinated Entry - Improve and streamline access to housing and services into one entry point to

quickly meet the specific needs of people experiencing homelessness.

9 091665fs123114 Revised: 4/7/2015 8:37 AM mcp

Tailored Programs and Services - Meet the varying service and housing needs of families and individuals

by delivering a customized level of service at the right time.

Notable Accomplishments for 2014

Coordinated entry is now fully underway in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. It is helping to

streamline access, assessment, and referral processes for housing and other services across agencies in the

community. All three counties have a better sense of the scope of homelessness and are beginning to

use data to refine their systems and address emerging needs. New data is showing that coordinated

entry has simplified access for families, that many homeless families are ready and able to work and that

the majority of families have many strengths, including recent home ownership or lease, no previous

evictions, recent positive work history, and a high school diploma or higher.

Building Changes played a significant role in implementing Rapid Re-Housing in King County and

throughout Washington State in 2014. This model quickly moves homeless families into permanent

housing using short-term rental assistance, case management, and individualized employment services.

Under a contract with the Washington State Department of Commerce, Building Changes provided

technical assistance to all 39 Washington counties to support effective Rapid Re-housing implementation.

The Washington State Department of Commerce adopted Rapid Re-Housing as an essential tool for

ending family homelessness, making it one of three programs that serves low income families who are

homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Diversion is a new model that engages homeless families as early as possible, moves them from the street

to their own housing, and avoids costly interventions, while freeing up limited shelter beds. The goal is to

serve more families with quick and flexible interventions and the results are encouraging. In 2014,

125 King County families avoided homelessness thanks to a diversion pilot program that provides

recipients the assistance they need. Families received small stipends to rent housing in the private

market, or financial help such as funds for car repair so a parent can keep his or her job. Building

Changes believes this solution can work for many families, while reserving shelter for families who have no

other options.

Building Changes provided training and technical assistance to implement the $6 million Washington State

Department of Labor's Workforce Innovations Fund grant to expand and replicate the Housing and

Employment Navigator model developed in 2010 by Building Changes and its partners. By 2016, this

project will engage 720 homeless families served by housing programs in four Washington counties

(Pierce, Whatcom, Skagit, and Yakima).

10 091665fs123114 Revised: 4/7/2015 8:37 AM mcp

In 2014, Building Changes continued its work to improve the connection between housing and

Healthcare. Building Changes hired a Senior Manager to manage its healthcare initiatives and build

stronger relationships with healthcare organizations. Building Changes' Executive Director Alice Shobe

became the official housing representative on the Washington State-level Behavioral Health Steering

Committee ("the Committee") convened by Washington State's Department of Social & Health Services.

As charged by two recently enacted laws, Senate Bill 5732 and House Bill 1519, the Committee was created

in early 2014 to support the Washington State Health Care Innovation Plan to develop performance

measures in seven areas, including increases in housing stability for people who receive behavioral health

treatments. Building Changes recruited homeless/housing representatives to the Committee's work

groups and convened them to exchange information and ensure broad input in defining housing stability.

During the 2014 legislative session, the work groups participated in weekly phone calls with the

Governor's policy office and other healthcare advocates to ensure housing stability was included in

healthcare bills. Three healthcare bills included significant opportunities for housing and healthcare

cooperation to improve services for people experiencing homelessness, including funding for a pilot

supportive housing program for people exiting behavioral health facilities.

During 2014, Building Changes deepened its racial equity work to address disparities and

disproportionality among families at risk for homelessness. Building Changes' Racial Equity Framework

was finalized in 2014 and articulates the vision of its racial equity work as a primary lens through which it

conducts its work, both internally as part of its organizational culture and externally as reflected

throughout all of its activities, collaborations, and results. Building Changes believes its intentional focus

on building skills among staff on reducing racial disproportionality across its work will lead to

population-level impacts in its work as well. The Racial Equity Framework is now being used to inform

and guide all of Building Changes' work, including grantmaking, capacity building, policy, and evaluation.

Building Changes is leading the Leadership in Action Program, a nine-month Results-Based Leadership

model, in Pierce County. This unique model, developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, builds the

capacity of a diverse group of cross-sector community leaders to accelerate measurable improvements in

the well-being of families, children, and communities in the Pierce community. The Pierce County

Leadership in Action Program is the first such offering in Washington State. It launched in

September 2014 with 36 leaders representing more than 30 organizations, and met three times in 2014.

Through the Washington Youth and Families Fund (formerly Washington Families Fund), a successful

public-private partnership, Building Changes made grants in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties to drive

fundamental, systemic changes to the way that homeless families receive support. These private grants

are matched 2.5 to 1 with realigned public funding, to ensure sustainability and increase the impact and

pace of change. Since the fund launched in 2004, Washington State has allocated $17 million to the

Washington Youth and Families Fund, which has leveraged $38.5 million in investments from 25 different

private funders.

In 2014, Building Changes granted $5,173,554 to 37 nonprofits. These grants supported employment,

rapid re-housing, coordinated entry, and other changes to the systems that support homeless families.

Along with funding, Building Changes provides grantees ongoing support in the form of capacity building,

technical assistance, and evaluation.

2014 marked the 10th anniversary of the Washington Youth and Families Fund, which is dedicated to

reducing and ending youth and family homelessness statewide. Building Changes celebrated

Washington Youth and Families Fund's achievements in December, when Governor Inslee and other

Washington State philanthropic and private sector leaders signed a new memorandum of understanding

pledging to make youth, young adult, and family homelessness in Washington a rare, brief, and one-time

occurrence by 2020.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Statement Presentation

Building Changes reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to

three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently

restricted net assets. Building Changes has no permanently restricted net assets, so this class of net

assets is not shown on the financial statements.

Temporarily Restricted Net Assets

Temporarily restricted net assets consist of unexpended contributions or grants restricted for particular

purposes or time periods. Temporarily restricted net assets are transferred to unrestricted net assets as

expenditures are incurred for the restricted purpose, or as time restrictions expire. Temporarily restricted

net assets at December 31 consist of:

2014 2013

Washington Families Fund expansion 7,333,538$ 4,295,376$

Washington Families Fund service grantmaking 1,401,433 2,048,510

Contributions restricted for time 327,914 130,000

Youth homelessness 238,990 62,454

WFF high level services evaluation 232,333 267,163

Business planning 225,000

Economic opportunities 206,135 194,258

Healthcare 150,000

Racial disproportionality in homelessness 70,787 146,302

Other 41,695

10,227,825$ 7,144,063$

Unrestricted Net Assets

A portion of unrestricted net assets are designated by the Board for an Innovation Fund, which is intended

to be used to fund new program opportunities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported

amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from the estimated amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking, savings, and money market accounts. Cash balances held

in investment accounts are included with investments in the statements of financial position.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is not available for general operating purposes and is restricted by donors to be used to

fund grants under the Washington Youth and Family Fund program.

Investments

Investments are reported at their fair values (using Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which are

quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets) in the statements of financial position.

Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets.

Accounts and Grants Receivable

Accounts and grants receivable are due primarily from the Washington State Department of Commerce.

Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to expense and a credit to a

valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still

outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to

the valuation allowance and a credit to the receivable account. Management determined that no

allowance was necessary at December 31, 2014 and 2013. Accounts and grants receivable expected to be

collected after one year from the statement of financial position date are presented as long-term in the

accompanying financial statements.

Promises to Give

Promises to give consist of contributions pledged but not yet received from individuals, foundations, and

corporations. Promises to give that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded at net

realizable value. Promises to give expected to be collected in future years are initially recorded at fair

value, which is measured as the present value of the expected future cash flows. The discount on those

amounts is computed using a risk adjusted interest rate which is applicable to the year in which the award

was received (using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which are unobservable inputs developed by

Building Changes). Of the total promises to give, 74% and 81% were due from one foundation as of

December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Management determined that no allowance was necessary at

December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost or, if donated, at fair value at date of receipt. Building

Changes capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment with a useful life greater than one year

and a cost in excess of its capitalization threshold of $5,000. Depreciation expense is provided for using

the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for leasehold

improvements is recorded over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term using the straight-line

method. Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31:

2014 2013

Leasehold improvements 143,739$ 143,739$

Furniture and equipment 134,707 353,777

278,446 497,516

Accumulated depreciation (278,446) (491,053)

-$ 6,463$

Grants Payable

Grants payable consist of unconditional promises to pay grants to others. Grants payable are recognized

as expense, and the related liability recognized, at fair value in the period grants are awarded or paid. In

general, grants are payable over three years. In some instances, grants are payable in more than

three years and are recognized in the period it becomes probable that the grants will be paid. Fair value

is measured as the present value of the expected future cash flows. The discount on those amounts is

computed using a risk adjusted interest rate which is applicable to the year in which the award was made

(using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which are unobservable inputs developed by

Building Changes).

Revenue Recognition

Contributions: Unconditional promises to give are recognized as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or

permanently restricted support depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions at fair

value during the period a cash gift or non-cash gift is received or pledged.

Government grants: Revenue related to governmental grants and contracts is recognized when grants

payable to others have been awarded or paid.

Technical assistance service fees: Technical assistance service fees represent fees for training and

consulting services, and are recognized as the services are provided.

One foundation and the Washington State Department of Commerce accounted for 60% and 23%,

respectively, of total support and revenue for 2014. One foundation and the Washington State

Department of Commerce accounted for 84% and 9%, respectively, of total support and revenue for 2013.

Functional Allocation of Expenses

The costs of providing the various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional

basis in the statements of activity and statements of functional expenses. Accordingly, certain costs have

been allocated between the program and supporting services benefited.

Code, and its federal returns are open to review by federal taxing authorities for the last three years.

Reclassifications

year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or the change in net assets as of or

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL

REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT

OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT

AUDITING STANDARDS

To the Board of Directors

Building Changes

Seattle, Washington

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and

the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the

Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Building Changes, which comprise

the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of activities,

functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial

statements, and have issued our report thereon dated __________________.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Building Changes' internal

control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in

the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the

purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Building Changes' internal control. Accordingly,

we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Building Changes' internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow

management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or

detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a

combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material

misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a

timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control

that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged

with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this

section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material

weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any

deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material

weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

18

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Building Changes' financial statements are free

from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of Jaws,

regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material

effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on

compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express

such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that

are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance

and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the

Building Changes' internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed

in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Building Changes' internal control

and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
