True Reflections 2026 Year-to-Date Community Impact

Executive Summary

In 2026, True Reflections has expanded its community impact through housing, workforce development, entrepreneurship, food access, youth engagement, and direct outreach. Our reported year-to-date results include approximately 80 or more housing participant experiences across three properties, 40–50 workforce-development participants, and 12 entrepreneurship graduates, all reported to have successfully started their businesses.

Our community services have reached an estimated 250–300 people through homeless-camp and community outreach, approximately 100 through pantry services, and 25–30 older adults through direct assistance. Youth engagement includes at least 50 participants in coaching and approximately 50–100 in boxing. We have also distributed at least 2,000 flyers and conducted five consecutive months of one-hour treatment-center seminars or meetings, averaging approximately 60–100 attendees per session.

A treatment-center referral pipeline of approximately 25 individuals, alongside referrals from Drug Court, Frank Williams Center, RADAC, and other community providers, supports connections to our programs. Growth in our property holdings includes 10 Land Bank properties and reported land ownership through the city in Kansas. Our network now includes more than 50 partnerships, including membership in the Homeless Coalition, Recovery Coalition, and Heartland Black Chamber of Commerce, and partnerships with Swope Health and AMG Property Management.

Our model emphasizes shared participation: community members, staff, partners, and leadership receive support and engage in development activities together. The figures in this report reflect program participation, service activity, and outreach—not a combined count of unique individuals.

2026 Impact at a Glance

Organizational Overview

True Reflections connects housing and community-development efforts with practical support for employment, business ownership, food access, and personal development.

During 2026, at least 30 participants have gone through Victory House, and more than 50 participants have been served across two additional properties we managed. These figures represent approximately 80 or more housing participant experiences across the three properties.

Our growth also includes the acquisition of 10 Land Bank properties and land ownership through the city in Kansas. These holdings strengthen our foundation for future housing and community-development projects. They are separate from housing participant counts and are not presented as completed housing units.

Everyone involved in our work has opportunities to receive support or participate in program activities. Our president and vice president receive entrepreneurship services, attend classes, and complete the work alongside other participants. Staff and partners who directly receive services are also part of our program population.

Population Served

Our programs serve people facing housing instability, homelessness, employment barriers, and limited access to essential resources. Participants include:

• Individuals living at or transitioning through our housing properties.
• People living in homeless camps or reached through direct community outreach.
• Individuals connected to treatment, recovery, Drug Court, and community referral services.
• Adults pursuing employment, vocational support, or entrepreneurship.
• People accessing pantry services and other essential support.
• Youth participating in coaching and boxing.
• Older adults needing direct assistance.
• Staff, organizational leaders, and partners who directly receive services or participate in program activities.

People may participate in multiple programs. Our approach connects services around their needs rather than treating each program as a separate relationship.

Workforce Development and Entrepreneurship

Approximately 40–50 individuals have participated in workforce-development activities during 2026. We are solidifying relationships with Voc Rehab to strengthen connections to employment, training, and vocational support.

Our entrepreneurship program has produced 12 graduates, all reported to have successfully started their businesses. Since that original class, we have supported 15 additional businesses. The 12 graduates and 15 additional businesses are distinct measures: successful course completion and subsequent business support. Entrepreneurship development also includes staff and organizational leadership, reflecting our commitment to learning and accountability at every level.

Community Outreach and Essential Support

We meet people where they are, including through outreach to homeless camps. These efforts have served an estimated 250–300 people during 2026.

We have distributed at least 2,000 flyers to connect community members with available services and opportunities. Our pantry has served approximately 100 people, and we have assisted approximately 25–30 older adults.

Meals and homeless essential packs are also part of our outreach and support activities. Distribution totals are pending reconciliation and are not included in this report.

Youth Engagement

Our youth activities include at least 50 young people engaged through coaching and approximately 50–100 participants engaged through boxing.

These figures are reported separately because some participants may take part in both activities.

Treatment-Center Engagement and Referral Pipeline

For five consecutive months, we have conducted one-hour seminars or meetings with treatment centers, averaging approximately 60–100 attendees per session.

Our treatment-center referral pipeline has connected approximately 25 individuals to our organization. We also receive referrals from Drug Court, Frank Williams Center, RADAC, and other behavioral-health and community providers.

Seminar attendance, referrals, and program enrollment are separate measures. A referral is not automatically counted as a completed service or successful outcome.

Coalition Memberships and Partnerships

Our network now includes more than 50 partnerships, with collaboration supporting our work across housing, recovery, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and community services. Our longstanding partnership with Redeemed and Restored, dating to 2016, is part of the foundation supporting this continued expansion.

2026 Impact Statement

True Reflections is building a community-centered network of housing, employment, entrepreneurship, and supportive services. Our 2026 activity demonstrates both direct service delivery and growth in the foundation needed to sustain that work.

Housing participation across three properties, workforce engagement, and 12 successful entrepreneurship graduates reflect progress in connecting people with practical opportunities. Community outreach, pantry services, older-adult assistance, and youth activities extend our work beyond program locations and into the neighborhoods we serve.

Our treatment-center engagement and referral relationships strengthen pathways into services, while the acquisition of 10 Land Bank properties and land ownership through the city in Kansas expand our development foundation. More than 50 partnerships—including coalition memberships and partners such as Swope Health and AMG Property Management—extend our reach across the region.

At every level, our approach brings people into the work of learning, development, and service—including community participants, staff, partners, and leadership.
