Mission and programs · 2024

• EMERGENCY SHELTER: THROUGH THE EMERGENCY SHELTER COMPONENT, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES TEMPORARY EMERGENCY SHELTER TO PARENTS WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE HOMELESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS SHORT-TERM (UP TO 90-DAY) SUPPORT OFFERS SAFETY AND SERVICES TO FAMILIES SEEKING EMERGENCY SHELTER, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY FROM OTHER SHELTERS IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. FAMILIES IN EMERGENCY SHELTER ARE PROVIDED WITH ESSENTIAL SERVICES INCLUDING: CASE MANAGEMENT INCORPORATING THE PRINCIPLES OF TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE, HOUSING SEARCH AND PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (IN THE FORM OF CASH BENEFITS AND RENT AND UTILITIES) TO HELP THEM MOVE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING, AND POST-SHELTER SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO ENSURE STABILITY ONCE PERMANENTLY HOUSED. THIS HOUSING FIRST APPROACH MOVES FAMILIES MORE QUICKLY INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. A MAJOR U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & URBAN DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH EFFORT OFFERS COMPELLING EVIDENCE THAT HOUSING FIRST STRATEGIES ARE SUPERIOR FOR REDUCING HOMELESSNESS FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN COMPARED TO TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAMS AND EXCLUSIVE EMERGENCY SHELTER INTERVENTIONS. IN 2025, 85 FAMILIES WERE PROVIDED WITH SHORT-TERM EMERGENCY SHELTER (102 ADULTS AND 209 CHILDREN).

IN 2025, 64 FAMILIES WERE SERVED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, AND 38 FAMILIES EXITED THE PROGRAM.

• PATH TO PREVENTION: HOMELESS PREVENTION SPECIALISTS PROVIDE SOLUTION-FOCUSED STRENGTH-BASED CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO FAMILIES IN CRISIS AND PREVENT THEM FROM ENTERING THE HOMELESS SYSTEM. SERVICES INCLUDE MEDIATION WITH LANDLORDS AND/OR FAMILY MEMBERS/FRIENDS; EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE; REFERRALS TO LEGAL, AND OTHER SUPPORT SERVICES; AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL HOMELESS PREVENTION PROGRAM IS FLEXIBLE FUNDING. THESE FUNDS ARE UTILIZED TO HELP FAMILIES ACHIEVE HOUSING STABILITY BY PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION TO GET THEM BACK HOME, WHICH COULD BE ANOTHER COUNTY OR OUT OF STATE WHERE THEY HAVE SAFE HOUSING AND STRONGER SUPPORT NETWORKS, BUS PASSES, MINOR CAR REPAIRS, CHILD CARE EXPENSES, BIRTH CERTIFICATES, AND/OR OTHER ALLOWABLE SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED TO SECURE HOUSING STABILITY. IN 2025, 218 FAMILIES WERE SERVED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

  Expenses $531,491

• WORK FOR SUCCESS: EMPLOYMENT SPECIALISTS WORK ONE ON ONE WITH ADULT FAMILY MEMBERS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WHO HAVE HIGH EMPLOYMENT BARRIERS.

ADDITIONALLY, EMPLOYMENT SPECIALISTS ASSESS HARD-TO-EMPLOY ADULT FAMILY MEMBERS FOR EDUCATION, JOB EXPERIENCE AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAREER SKILLS/JOB TRAINING, PREPARE THEM FOR JOB SEARCH, AND HELP THEM FIND GOOD JOBS. IN 2025, 63 CLIENTS WERE SERVED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.

  Expenses $180,917 · Grants $8,069

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
