• When not responding to disasters, the Disaster Recovery program focuses on community stabilization through emergency sheltering, home safety improvements, volunteer mobilization, and basic-needs support. During the year, 183 individuals were served through cooling centers, warming centers, and emergency shelter operations. Following Hurricane Beryl, Attack Poverty partnered with Fort Bend County and the American Red Cross to operate a multi-week emergency shelter at the Friends of North Rosenberg Resource Center, providing meals, hygiene supplies, showers, and safe lodging for displaced residents. The center was reactivated in January during severe freeze conditions to provide overnight warming shelter. Prevention and resilience efforts also expanded. In partnership with the Red Cross, volunteers installed smoke detectors in 122 homes, improving safety for more than 300 residents. Community revitalization continued through Serve Days, which mobilized nearly 700 volunteers contributing more than 1,700 hours across projects including home repair, neighborhood improvement, and community distributions.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
