Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Empowering families with chidren to achieve permanent and stable self-sufficiency by providing case management; nutritious meals; and educational, health and career resources; in a safe and secure environment.

  • Main Street Shelter. Our main location can provide emergency shelter to eight families at a time, which is generally 35 to 40 people each night. While residing at the shelter, guests receive three meals a day, are assigned an individualized case plan, and receive other supportive services including rental and utility assistance. Additionally, the Main Street Shelter offers a free meal, case management services, and basic needs to anyone in need (known as day guests), between 9:00 am 12:00 pm daily. If the temperature drops below 45 degrees or there is a severe weather emergency (hurricane, tornado, etc.), the City of Gainesville will allow the Main Street Shelter to open for Cold Night Shelter, in which we have space for an extra 60 clients.

    Expenses $914,251 · Grants $84,940

  • Arbor House. Arbor House provides affordable housing in a communal setting to working mothers with children. There are 13 rooms available for rent; residents enjoy their own room, but share bathrooms, kitchen, and living room spaces with other tenants. Each family works with a case manager to design a plan to move to self-sufficiency. Low-income families who cannot afford market rent benefit from this set-up since they work as a community to achieve similar goals. The extended time families can stay at Arbor House, in accordance with their case management plan, allows mothers to pursue education and skills, and thus, increase their incomes.

    Expenses $254,238 · Revenue $39,822

  • Sunrise Apartments. Sunrise Residence Inn was established by St. Francis House in 2000. Sunrise is a permanent housing program that assists homeless working individuals whose goal is to become self-sufficient. Since affordable housing is difficult to find in Gainesville, the program at times also invites persons who receive disability income to participate. Some residents use the program for a year or two, then move on to private housing. Others, who have fixed incomes, have lived at Sunrise since it was opened. Residents work with a case manager based on their personalized case plans. St. Francis House sold Sunrise Apartments to Alachua County on November 1, 2024.

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.

Grants received

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
