Mission

THE PEOPLE CONCERN BELIEVES NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE ON THE STREET OR IN A VIOLENT HOUSEHOLD. OUR STAFF, VOLUNTEERS AND THOSE WE SERVE WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE EFFECTS OF HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ILLNESS, ABUSE AND ADDICTION. OUR PROGRAMS EMPOWER THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE - HOUSED, HEALTHY AND SAFE - AND BECOME ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO WORK TO EDUCATE THE BROADER COMMUNITY AND IMPROVE PUBLIC POLICY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE HOUSING, SOCIAL, AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR HOMELESS AND LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS.

  • INTERIM HOUSING: OUR INTERIM HOUSING AND WELLNESS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SHELTER, SUPPORT, AND PROVIDE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY TO TEMPORARILY HOUSED PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE TRANSITIONING FROM HOMELESSNESS INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. THE 13 INTERIM HOUSING FACILITIES (TOTALING 701 BEDS) PROVIDE BEDS, 3 MEALS PER DAY PLUS SNACKS, CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AND PERIODIC MEDICAL SERVICES TO CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND THOSE WHO OFTEN EXPERIENCE THE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS WELL AS MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES. HOUSING SERVICES: OPERATING UNDER A HOUSING FIRST MODEL, OUR STAFF WORK WITH PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO MOVE THEM INDOORS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE WORK WITH NUMEROUS HOUSING DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TENANTS NEED TO HELP THEM STAY IN THEIR HOMES. IN FISCAL YEAR 23-24, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT MOVED INTO HOUSING WAS 2,113. THIS INCLUDES 1,899 HEAD OF HOUSEHOLDS AND 214 HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.

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.

Schedule J
