Mission and programs · 2025

• NorthStar Advocates is a leader in the state of Washington serving young people at the intersection of unaccompanied homelessness, system involvement, and the behavioral health crisis in our society. We made significant progress in 2025 in the design and implementation of HB 1929 to establish safe housing and services for young adults exiting an inpatient behavioral health treatment program. State data continue to show these young people at greatest risk of returning to homelessness within 30 days - 12 months upon exiting a system of care (foster care, juvenile rehabilitation and/or inpatient behavioral health treatment). NorthStar Advocates has provided training, consultation, and ongoing advocacy for the two programs in Washington state. During a very challenging budget crisis in Washington's legislature NorthStar Advocates advocated to protect the funding ensuring it remains in the state budget. We will collect relevant data to determine our advocacy agenda for expansion during the 2027 legislative session. Early data demonstrates NorthStar Advocates hypothesis was correct in that these young people do want to exit homelessness and are addressing their substance use disorder and/or mental health issues. This has resulted in young people securing safe housing, employment, educational goals and reconciliation with family and community. NorthStar Advocates has also sponsored a youth and young adult led behavioral health quarterly summit planning to be implemented in 2026.

As filed on the 2025 return.

Listed in Part VII

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

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
