Mission and programs · 2023

• Over a four-month period, the Tax Foreclosure Prevention initiative Neighbor2Neighbor conducted outreach to 64,003 residential units ("doors") identified as potentially at risk. During this campaign, staff successfully made 20,406 direct contacts with residents or property stakeholders. This resulted in a 40.18% contact rate, meaning that approximately two out of every five households reached through outreach efforts engaged in direct communication with the program. This level of engagement within a relatively short time frame demonstrates substantial outreach penetration across the target population. Achieving over 20,000 contacts in four months indicates consistent field or communication activity and suggests that the outreach strategy was effective in reaching a significant share of at-risk households. While more than half of the targeted properties remain not contacted, the current contact rate provides a strong foundation for continued engagement, follow up communication, and connection to foreclosure prevention resources. Overall, the data reflects meaningful progress in identifying and engaging homeowners at risk of tax foreclosure, while also highlighting the opportunity to expand outreach methods to further increase contact rates in future phases of the program.

• Shot Stoppers Program - Community Violence Intervention. There are many accomplishments we've executed. Over the course of 20 weeks of engagement within the Detroit Public Schools Community District, the Shot Stoppers Program implemented a comprehensive community violence intervention strategy focused on prevention, mediation, youth engagement, and direct support for individuals at high risk. During this period, the program responded to 45 incidents requiring violent intervention and mediation, demonstrating an active presence in addressing conflicts before they escalated further. These interventions reflect the program's role as a rapid-response and relationship-based violence interruption effort within the community. Youth engagement was also a central component of the initiative. The program facilitated 15 field trips and enrichment sessions, providing students with constructive activities and exposure to positive experiences beyond their immediate environment. These opportunities supported mentorship, relationship building, and alternatives to violence for participating youth. The program also launched its inaugural 20-week Violence Deterrence Fellowship Program, designed to equip participants with the skills, resources, and mentorship necessary to become community leaders and violence prevention advocates. As of this reporting period, the fellowship is 9 weeks into its first cohort, marking an important milestone in developing long-term community-based violence prevention capacity. In addition to prevention and engagement work, the program provided critical safety support for individuals facing immediate threats. The team conducted three emergency relocations for at-risk and high-risk individuals, ensuring immediate protection and stabilization. These relocations were supported by a comprehensive intake and referral process, along with the development of a risk assessment protocol designed to identify urgent needs and connect individuals with a coordinated list of immediate resources. Overall, the data reflects a multi-layered violence prevention approach that combines direct intervention, youth engagement, leadership development, and crisis response to support safer communities.

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
