Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Human Options ignites social change by educating Orange County to recognize relationship violence as an issue that threatens everyone, advocating for those affected by abuse, extending a safe place for victims, and empowering survivors on their journey of healing.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Human Options vision is a future in which every person and family in Orange County experiences safe, healthy relationships, and lives free from fear.

  • Human Options' residential services offer a continuum of care which encompasses the 24 hour crisis hotline, 45 day emergency shelter (with on-site 90 day Family Healing Center), and transitional housing programs - both 6-month and longer term. Our clients are adult and child victims of domestic violence of all ages, ethnicities, orientations, and come from all over Orange County. They are considered homeless as they are fleeing abuse in their home, typically have had severe trauma experiences, usually have minimal income and are striving to achieve safety and emotional and financial self-sufficiency. Support is also provided to survivors who may be able to sustain permanent housing but need stability assistance and access to a supportive community. Second Step provides housing for up to 6 months, offers counseling, case management, legal advocacy, parenting and life skills education as well as assistance with permanent housing for up to 14 families at a time. Vocational training and employment assistance are key program activities designed to help clients reach economic self-sufficiency. Follow up services are offered to program graduates for a 6 month period after second step program completion. Third step is an extended transitional housing program providing low-cost rents for up to one year, with case management and counseling as needed for six low income families.

    Expenses $3,303,594 · Grants $1,123,826

  • Community Based Services - Community Based Services programs provide a safety net and support services to individuals who are not ready to enter a residential program but are trying to break the cycle of violence. Services are provided at Family Resource Centers located in Santa Ana, Newport-Mesa, Westminster, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove and the Safe Options for Seniors Program based in the administrative office in Irvine and in the Orange County Family Justice Center. The programs provide services for adult and child victims of domestic violence, as well as family members when appropriate. Services include, but are not limited to, legal advocacy, individual, family and children's counseling, case management, personal empowerment programs, teen dating violence prevention and senior advocacy. All Community Based Services locations accept walk-ins.

    Expenses $2,154,480 · Grants $361,630 · Revenue $59,315

  • Prevention Education provides presentations for students in middle school, high school, and college or universities, to raise awareness of relationship and teen dating violence and healthy relationships. The program also provides training for a steadily growing number of healthcare providers, law enforcement agencies, human resource professionals, local companies, faith-based groups, hairdressers, and social service agencies in order to equip them with the knowledge and resources to be effective first responders when someone discloses abuse. Activating a health response by community members when it comes to domestic violence vastly expands the safety net for abuse victims.

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.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
