Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Friendship Service Center makes love visible through compassionate, person-centered services for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Friendship Service Center, Inc. envisions a Greater New Britain community where everyone has a safe, affordable home and episodes of hunger and homelessness are brief and non-recurring.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To make love visible through services for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

  • Supportive Housing: PEAK (People Empowered by Achievement and Knowledge) and HAL (Home At Last) programs offer subsidized housing vouchers to formerly homeless individuals or families so that they may live in apartments scattered throughout the Greater New Britain area while receiving case management services. Certificates are currently available for 33 apartments through PEAK and 10 apartments through HAL; participants pay one-third of their income for rent and the program pays the rest. ASH (Arch Street Housing) and Howey House are two buildings where formerly homeless individuals or families live in their own apartments within a communal building where on-site case management is offered to support self-sufficiency. Arch Street Housing consists of 21 one- two- and three-bedroom apartments for families and individual adults at 59 and 85 Arch Street in New Britain. Howey House consists of 11 efficiency or one-bedroom units for individual adults at 180 North Street in New Britain. We served 120 people from 83 households in FY25 through these programs.

    Expenses $1,799,586 · Grants $500,541 · Revenue $43,214

  • Interim Housing: Our 37-bed Emergency Shelter for individual adults and families with children, and our Transitional Living Program for 10 homeless youth (ages 18-24), are located in our Virginia C. Davis Building. Since September 2023, we also have opened 4 respite beds for individual adults experiencing homelessness that are frequent users of Hospital of Central CT services. We served 124 people from 99 households through our Emergency Shelter program; 44 youth through our Transitional Living program; and 28 people in our medical respite program in FY25.

    Expenses $993,906

  • Hope Connection Center: Hope Connection Center is a drop-in center for people at-risk of or experiencing homelessness in Central CT at 61 Arch St, New Britain. The project is a community partnership with a number of agencies in the region to offer leveraged services like financial literacy, substance use recovery support, mental health, and employment, supplementing the resources HCC offers, such as showers and laundry. We served 710 people from 672 households in FY25 through this program.

    Expenses $1,484,969

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.

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.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
