Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Devoted to reducing the harmful physical, emotional and economic effects of unmanaged or mismanaged conflict on culturally diverse individuals, families, organizations and communities.

  • For the period January 1,2024 to December 31, 2024, CMS Housing Stability/Homelessness Prevention Program provided services to a total of 2,359 Tenants with a total of 6,073 Household Members.1923 Tenants w/4949 Household Members were provided the Programs Tenant/Landlord Eviction Prevention Mediation Services and an additional 436 tenants with 1,124 Household Members were provided the programs FREE 2.5 Tenant Eviction Prevention Education Workshop.The agencys Tenant/Landlord Conflict Mediation Services provided disputing tenants and landlords involved in eviction related disputes with access to specially trained, impartial mediators by phone as well as on site daily at Franklin County Municipal Court where more than 21,000 eviction proceedings were filed (more than in any other area of Ohio).98% of the tenants provided the programs tenant/landlord mediation services were able to reach an agreement with the landlord that allowed for the tenant to maintain stable housing. Approximately 72% of those settlements were Pay and Stay agreements that allowed the tenant to get caught up on overdue back rent so that they could remain in their current housing and avoid the need for emergency shelter. The other 28% of agreements reached were Voluntary Move Out Arrangements that resulted in the tenant receiving additional time to move so they could successfully relocate to alternative stable housing and the eviction judgement against the tenant being dismissed in the court record.This program also provided 436 additional low-income individuals with 1124 household members at risk of eviction with a 2.5 Hour Eviction Prevention Education Workshop. This training was designed to help targeted tenants understand the 10 most dangerous myths about eviction and how to avoid its most harmful consequences, homelessness. More than 98% of tenant participants scored 80% or higher on a post workshop quiz designed to measure the tenants knowledge about the eviction process and how to avoid its harmful effects. During this past year CMS also assisted scores of tenants in applying for emergency rental assistance from a number of other community partners who were distributing these resources to eligible individuals.

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.

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.
