Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The organization is organized to provide social services for children and families from Birth thru five years of age. Our mission is to "improve the quality of life for families in culturally and economically diverse Chicago communities by providing comprehensive and integrated early childhood learning, family health, and social services."

Activities or mission (Part I)

Improve quality of life through early childhood education, health and social services

  • With a 127-year social services legacy, over 3 decades of providing early childhood learning direct services to children and families in over 21 Chicago communities, Henry Booth House has provided holistic, integrated child development and family services via a seamless Birth to Five continuum. We are dedicated to our mission in improving the quality of life for families in culturally and economically diverse Chicago communities by providing comprehensive and integrated early childhood learning, family health and social services. With an army of 75+ early childhood professionals, our overarching goal is to intervene with the highest quality programs and services at the earliest time possible, when quality programs and services have the greatest impact in optimizing the quality of life for a child and the contributions that child will make through adulthood to the greater society.

    Expenses $16,572,352 · Grants $9,562,308 · Revenue $5,094

  • In that vein, we are a recognized leader in providing high quality early childhood development programs, including Head Start, Early Head Start, Pre-School for All, Prevention Initiative, Healthy Families of Illinois, MIECHV, Doula and Women, Infants and Children. These programs provide comprehensive early learning supports for the children and families we serve from conception, to the cradle, to the classroom, ultimately preparing our children and families for kindergarten readiness. Each year, we serve over 4,000 of our most at-risk, youngest Chicagoans in meeting and exceeding their developmental milestones. Moreover, we recognize the success of our children is inextricably linked to the success of their families. Therefore, we anchor all our services in a family centered focus, working side by side, helping families in identifying and securing basic needs, employment, healthcare and all aspirational goals aligned with their personal and professional growth. All in all, at Henry Booth House, we get children ready to learn and their families ready for life, lifelong self-sufficiency and success.

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.
