Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Our mission is to transform lives with the love of family through adoption, foster care, parenting support and education. We provide wraparound social services tailored to the needs of at-risk children, families, and women in our community.
-
Parenting Support:Through our Parenting Support Program, Hope Cottage served 1,347 parenting clients with children under 3yrs old across North Texas, 1,977 children attended classes with their parent/guardian. Classes were held in collaboration with nine (9) trusted community partners in under-resourced neighborhoods such as South Dallas, Vickery Meadow, Carrollton/Farmers Branch, and West Dallas. More than 75% of clients are low-income Spanish-speaking mothers, participating in parenting cohorts that now help educate and support others. Families received evidence-based parenting education, baby needs assistance (diapers, wipes, car seats), and direct referrals to housing, health, and financial resources. We distributed 221,300 diapers and 35,600 other baby necessities to parents in classes. The classes are co-located with client choice food pantries and other partner services our outreach specialists provide personal referrals to trusted resources, and case management to families with more complex needs.
Expenses $918,491
-
Foster Care:Hope Cottage provided 6,173 nights of trauma-informed foster care, case management and placement support to 20 children in foster care this year. We licensed 14 new foster families and maintained high placement stability. In 2024, we began implementation of the states new T3C (Texas Transformation to Community-Based Care) system, which standardizes reporting, training, and funding expectations across providers. While this transition increases compliance demands and operating costs, Hope Cottage remains committed to meeting the highest standards of care and permanency planning for children in our community. Six (6) children were adopted by their foster parents. Our team was recognized by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services for high standards in placement stability and responsiveness.
Expenses $555,294 · Revenue $819,497

Infant Adoption & Pregnancy Services:The Infant Adoption program placed 6 children with adoptive families and provided 12 birth parents with counseling and pregnancy support services. Hope Cottage pregnancy clients receive case management, emotional support and guidance to help them plan the best possible future for themselves and their infants whether they choose to parent or choose adoption. Hope Cottage provides information and referrals to pregnancy clients and direct assistance for housing, food, clothing and other basic needs as resources are available. Expectant parents who have children under three years of age may participate in group classes in addition to individual counseling. Clients may receive life skills training, parenting classes, and other services to help them as new parents. All pregnant and parenting clients are eligible to receive direct client assistance for basic needs for themselves and their children. 2024 Pregnancy clients = 19 Families who adopt through Hope Cottage Infant Adoption program are required to complete education hours prior to being accepted; fees are charged on a sliding scale based on family income. Post adoption services are available to adoptees and their adoptive and birth families at low or no cost. 2024 Infant Adoption families = 132024 Infants placed for adoption = 62024 Post Adoption clients= 69In addition, our Infant Adoption department supervised the opening of CeCes Place, our maternal medical clinic in partnership with HHM Health. CeCes Place provided care to over 100 pregnant and postpartum clients. Services include state of the art medical care (including diagnostic ultrasound, immunization, screenings, and high-risk pregnancy care), case management, and access to transportation, baby items, and social services. Case management is provided by our bilingual Master of Social Work who works with each patient to ensure non-medical determinants of health are addressed at the point of care.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
