Mission

Homeless Youth Connection's (HYC) mission is to eliminate barriers to graduation for homeless youth and create lasting solutions for a successful future through community support and increased awareness.

  • Homeless Youth Connection (HYC) is proud to report several accomplishments related to program goals, including 95% of youth experiencing homelessness who participated in the program, stayed in school, and completed their education. During the 2024-2025 school year, HYC served 705 youth experiencing homelessness. In May 2024, 406 youth were actively participating in the program. Of those youth, 159 were high school seniors. Of those 129 graduated, 27 will enroll in the fall school year, and four youth were undecided.Of the 129 graduating seniors, 92 will enroll in college, eight will enroll in vocational training, and nine will enlist in the military. Of all the graduates, 96 have applied or entered the workforce.This past year, 42 unaccompanied youth participated in HYC's housing program. Twenty-five youths participated in the Hatcher Transitional Living program, 15 youth were in the Host Family, and two resided in the Flagstaff transitional home. Of the 42, 28 were graduating seniors and seven were in their first year of college.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.
