Mission and programs · 2024

• Housing Programs: Open Hearth administered permanent housing subsidies for 80 individuals and families who experienced homelessness and live with a documented disability through the Continuum of Care Permanent Supportive Housing (CoC PSH) Program. In addition, the Housing Contingency Fund (HCF) Program provided housing start-up costs, emergency financial assistance to prevent eviction or utility shut-off, and hotel respite for adults experiencing homelessness who have a serious and persistent mental illness. In 2024, 88 households received HCF assistance.

  Expenses $2,176,051

• Financial Management Programs: Open Hearths Family Savings Partner (FSP) Program is a financial empowerment initiative designed to help individuals and families build long-term stability through asset development. The program provides a matched savings opportunity to support major financial goals such as purchasing a vehicle, pursuing post-secondary education, or buying a first home. In 2024, 84 households participated in FSP, with 29 successfully purchasing their desired asset.Throughout the program, FSP staff provide individualized support through regular progress updates, resource referrals, and goal-oriented financial guidance. Additionally, FSP includes a public financial education component. In 2024, 24 workshops were delivered on topics such as budgeting, credit repair, homeownership, college financing, and the car-buying process. A total of 149 individuals attended, of whom 87 were unduplicated.Financial Navigation Services provide personalized financial coaching to individuals aiming to increase income, reduce debt, and build savings.

  Expenses $567,643

• Housing Programs: The Organization is deeply committed to strengthening the community and addressing the evolving needs of the individuals it serves. Open Hearth plays a leading role in advancing affordable housing, financial empowerment, and overall quality of life in Chester County. For example, the CEO serves on the governance board of the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness, while additional staff actively contribute to a range of local initiatives, including the Phoenixville Affordable Housing Council, Phoenixville Hospital Community Benefit Committee, the Housing Authority of Chester Countys Family Self-Sufficiency Committee, Phoenixville School Districts HUB, and the Chester County Reentry Coalition.In addition, Open Hearth founded and continues to facilitate the Phoenixville Area Resource Network (PARN), a monthly drop-in meeting that brings together staff from over 100 local social service agencies each year.The Targeted Homelessness Resource Coordination (THRC) Program, established in January 2020, remains a critical component of Chester Countys strategy to end homelessness. Aligned with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments (HUD) best practices, the THRC manages the countys by-name list in coordination with the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Data Lead and facilitates a coordinated, community-wide effort to prioritize and house individuals. This is accomplished through the facilitation of biweekly case conferencing meetings with cross-system providers. In 2024, 489 households were case conferenced.

  Expenses $134,654

• Transportation Program: Open Hearth supports transportation access through two primary strategies. Under the Family Savings Partner Program, participants may apply their matched savings toward the purchase of a reliable vehicle. In 2024, 18 of the 84 enrolled FSP households were saving for a vehicle, and 9 completed a purchase.In October 2024, Open Hearth launched JumpStart, a zero-interest loan program for essential car repairs. The program helps participants maintain safe, reliable transportation to access work, education, and vital services. In its inaugural quarter, three participants enrolled, and one loan was issued.Finally, one FSP participant received an in-kind donation of a vehicle during the year.

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. 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.
