Mission and programs · 2024

• Northern Hope Center's Member Services program provides targeted financial and practical support to help members meet daily needs, reduce crises, and stay engaged in services. The program is designed to remove immediate barriers, allowing members to focus on recovery, housing, and employment. Assistance may include groceries, household items, personal hygiene and cleaning products, partial support for rent, deposits, and past-due utilities, as well as limited help with medical-related costs such as co-pays and pharmacy items. Member Services also supports transportation through taxi vouchers and other rides for medical appointments, job interviews, housing appointments, and essential errands. Laundry tokens, clothing, and limited gift cards for groceries, gas, or essential retail are provided when needed. Support is based on clear criteria and documented need, and staff work with each person to connect this assistance to simple, concrete goals such as keeping appointments, completing applications, or starting a new job.

• Northern Hope Center operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., offering a safe, structured drop-in environment for adults with serious mental illness and co-occurring challenges. While at the center, members have access to two meals per day (breakfast and lunch), with options to eat onsite or take meals to go. They can use computers, internet, and phones to manage benefits, housing, job search, and telehealth appointments, relax in a comfortable lounge with television and reading materials, and participate in craft and art activities led by staff, volunteers, or members. Food is purchased from local grocery stores, prepared at the center, and supplemented with donations from the Fairbanks Community Food Bank and member contributions. Donated food is either prepared onsite or sent home with members. The center functions as a consistent, stigma-free hub where people can eat, rest, connect with peers, and work on personal goals.

• Case management and peer support are central to Northern Hope Center's model in FY 2025. The Case Manager and peer staff provide one-to-one assistance to help members navigate complex systems and sustain progress over time. This includes help with identification, Social Security applications, Medicaid and other benefits, housing applications, landlord communication, and tenancy issues. Staff also support members in scheduling and preparing for medical, behavioral health, and court appointments and coordinate with Tribal health organizations, community mental health providers, shelters, and justice partners. Basic budgeting, planning, and problem-solving skills are incorporated into this work, enabling members to strengthen their daily stability. Staff maintain regular contact, track progress, and adjust plans as needs change, which allows members to make measurable gains in housing, benefits, and treatment engagement.

• During FY 2025, the Northern Hope Center will also expand and strengthen its services to better meet member needs. Peer crisis and stabilization activities offer de-escalation, safety planning, and warm handoffs as alternatives to unnecessary emergency room or jail involvement. Supported employment services help members and transition-age youth create resumes, conduct job searches, complete applications, prepare for interviews, and receive on-the-job support. At the same time, staff foster relationships with local employers. Housing navigation and tenancy support are organized to increase placements and housing stability. The Center is also extending developmentally appropriate peer support and skill-building to youth and young adults experiencing behavioral health, housing, or income instability. Together, these activities align Member Services, drop-in supports, case management, and program expansions into a coordinated, member-centered system that promotes quality of life, stability, and long-term outcomes.

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.

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.
