Mission and programs · 2025

• The Downtown Ministries Transitional Housing Program for Women provides stable housing and supportive services to help women with children achieve self-sufficiency. During the 2025-2026 program year, the program served multiple households in Elkhart County. The following case example illustrates the program's impact. In summer 2025, Downtown Ministries placed a single mother and her toddler in the Clinton Street Home. At program entry, the participant was unemployed, lacked reliable transportation, had a suspended driver's license, did not have childcare, and had no savings plan. She also had limited community support systems. The participant enrolled in the program's 12-month transitional housing model and actively engaged in required classes, mentoring, and case management. Within seven months, she demonstrated significant progress toward stability for herself and her child. Outcomes achieved during this period include: Completion of workforce development and financial education courses offered through Downtown Ministries Securing full-time employment with a local employer Establishing consistent, reliable childcare for her toddler Reinstatement of her driver's license and acquisition of a vehicle through a ministry-supported program Development of a savings plan with the goal of long-term housing stability upon program completion The participant attributes her progress to the coordinated support provided by program staff, volunteer mentors, and community partners, including housing support, employment readiness training, transportation assistance, and relational support. This example reflects the program's mission to reduce housing instability and support families as they work toward economic independence.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 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.
