Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Love Chatham is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established to help with homelessness in the Chatham County area. It will be a common banner under which the churches, individuals, and businesses can work together, specifically to centralize the many talents and resources available and put them into action to alleviate homelessness and other needs. Our first focus will be homelessness, but we hope to continue the work of charity and healing in the future by joining, connecting with, or establishing help for hunger, clothing, healthcare, financial planning, and spiritual counseling.

  • Transitional Housing: This program provides additional support for community members that are stabilizing and seeking permanent housing. This program offers more thorough casework and resources, and promotes the interests of the community member by using a housing first model as the appropriate starting point for stability. The House Manager regularly provides updates to community partners as well as a monthly summary of progress and casework. This program has some significant momentum and the path forward for more housing is being created through this program. Our first house that was setup and established at the end of 2023 is a women's transitional housing program also known a "Our House". Love Chatham is considering opportunities to expand its services through the program and developing additional capacity to serve by developing programs under this umbrella that will serve men and/or family units.

    Expenses $111,703

  • Hotel Ministry: The hotel ministry assists community members by providing initial shelter for someone who is experiencing homelessness. The ministry then works within the network of service providers and with other community members to find support and resources. Love Chatham also provides food to clients that are living in a hotel room along with other supportive services.

    Expenses $26,888

  • Emergency Client Assistance: Love Chatham provides other, miscellaneous, emergency assistance when resources are available. There are many ways in which these resources may be utilized. For example, clients have been provided with much needed car repairs, gas in their vehicle, moving expenses and other ways in which Love Chatham can assist a client in need during a vulnerable time.

    Expenses $19,968

  • Furniture Ministry/Moving Assistance: We accept donations of new or used furniture and various household items to furnish new housing opportunities for clients in transition. These are redistributed to community members who have no furniture and are transitioning from homelessness. We also partner with social workers within the Chatham County school system and identify school aged students whose family may have furniture related needs, especially beds. Love Chatham has provided furniture to 179 families and individuals since the inception of this program. We have a box truck that was donated to our program that we're able to use to go get furniture and drop it off of our clients.

    Expenses $13,891

  • Food Pantry: Distribution occurs on the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 am to 12 pm at Freedom Family Church. The registration process is simple and low/no barrier - only basic information is collected and is all self reported. We partner with CORA and are a satellite site for their program. By following the intake process that CORA uses, we ensure access to those needing food resources. Mountaire provides Love Chatham with chicken to distribute. We also receive fresh produce and some other donations through the Food Shuttle program. Love Chatham partners with Chuckwagon to provide meals to clients that are staying in the hotels. We recently developed a partnership with Feed Well Fridges and have since put a unit at our location that community members can access anytime - day or night.

    Expenses $7,979

  • Rental/Utility Assistance: Love Chatham seeks to provide some direct monetary resources, when available, when clients have a need that is unmet by other area programs or in collaboration with other programs. Love Chatham qualifies for the Emergency Housing Funds through Chatham County (EHF) and at times will be able to work with clients to meet even more needs through this available path of funding. The majority of our emergency resources are focused on emergency housing needs and the rental/utility assistance is preventative in nature. We can often prevent homelessness by intervening with direct resources to alleviate a challenge being experienced financially.

    Expenses $3,969

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.
