Mission

DOWN HOME EMPOWERS LIVES AND STABILIZES THOSE EMERGING FROM HOMELESSNESS BY FURNISHING HOMES, STRENGTHENING CONNECTIONS, AND TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE FURNISHINGS AND DECOR FOR FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS TRANSITIONING FROM HOMELESSNESS INTO PERMANENT HOUSING.

  • ENTERING HOUSING IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE JOURNEY OF EMERGING FROM HOMELESSNESS, YET FOUR WALLS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. DOWN HOME (DH) HELPS END THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS BY CREATING HOMES AND A COMMUNITY WHERE FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS FIND COMFORT, DIGNITY, STABILITY, AND CONNECTION. IN 2025, THE DH TEAM SERVED 55 NEW FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS, A 34% INCREASE FROM 2024, IMPACTING 137 MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. THIS WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DEDICATION OF 552 VOLUNTEERS AND THE GENEROSITY OF 988 DONORS. OUR COMMITMENT TO OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE LED TO SCALING OUR TEAM TO 7 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES TO MEET THE RISING DEMAND FOR OUR PROGRAM OPERATIONS. THE IMPACT OF DOWN HOME'S WORK IS REFLECTED IN THE VOICES OF WHOSE WHOM WE SERVE. IN 2025, 100% OF CLIENTS REPORTED THAT DOWN HOME PROVIDED THEIR FAMILY WITH SECURITY, COMFORT, COMMUNITY CONNECTION, AND RELIEF FROM FINANCIAL STRESSORS. ALL OUR CLIENTS FACE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES, WITH 100% LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY THRESHOLD. ADDITIONALLY, 90% HAVE AN ANNUAL INCOME OF LESS THAN $35,000, AND 85% HAVE EXPERIENCED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES, AND/OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS A PAST TRAUMA OR CATALYST FOR HOMELESSNESS. OUR COMMITMENT EXTENDS BEYOND MOVE-IN DAY. DURING THE FIRST YEAR AFTER THEIR HOME REVEAL AND BEYOND, WE MAINTAIN INTENTIONAL COMMUNICATION AND PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT TO THOSE WELCOMED INTO THE DOWN HOME FAMILY. THESE RESOURCES INCLUDE PARTNERSHIPS THAT PROVIDE A YEAR OF FREE INTERNET, BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION PACKAGES, TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT, AND AN ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. DOWN HOME REMAINS DEDICATED TO BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS BY ENSURING THAT EVERY PERSON WE SERVE FINDS NOT JUST A HOUSE, BUT A HOME AND A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS THEIR JOURNEY TO STABILITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY.

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.
