Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Montrose Center (TMC) empowers our community, primarily gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals and their families, to enjoy healthier and more fulfilling lives by providing culturally affirming and affordable behavioral health and prevention services.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To empower LGBTQ individuals and their families, to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

  • Case management provided services to clients and outreach participants to promote continuity of care so clients can function independently using government, private, and community resources. To support this intention, we provide services to assist clients in dealing with challenges to living a healthy life, including access to mental and psychosocial services in a timely and coordinated manner. These services include assistance with obtaining and completing governmental forms, as well as locating transportation, housing, and other resources. In addition to case management services for those living with HIV disease, specialized case management services are available to deaf/hard of hearing and survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, or a bias/hate crime.

LIFE serves special populations of the LGBT community through Anti-Violence, HIV/AIDS, and Chemical Dependency programming. Anti-Violence staff provides counseling services to address issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault, hate crimes, and childhood sexual abuse. HIV/AIDS staff provides individual couples and group counseling to people affected by or infected with HIV or AIDS.See Schedule OChemical Dependency counselors offer a combination of education, therapy, and counseling as a state-licensed outpatient treatment program designed primarily for the LGBT community. All programs above are LGBT affirming to provide the best service and outcomes for the target population. All phases of the program offer services to family members and others significant in the lives of clients participating in the program. Counseling services had in-kind professional services in the form of student interns. The value of the in-kind services was $99,952.

The Women's program supports lesbian women, breaking down barriers that lesbians face when accessing health and social services through advocacy, professional and community education, and case management.

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.
