Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To assure the safety and resiliency of children by strengthening families and their communities.

  • Supportive Housing:Supportive Housing Services follows the housing first model by quickly moving youth and others experiencing homelessness into permanent housing and then providing wrap around supportive services to help them remain stably housed. Our services include Street-Based Outreach, Prevention, Diversion, Systems and Housing Navigation, Rapid Re-Housing, Transitional Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing. Home Start also targets services to specialized populations including families, transition age youth, transition age pregnant or parenting youth, and survivors of domestic violence.

  • Child Abuse Prevention:Child Abuse Prevention Services partner with parents to promote child safety and family well-being to keep children with their families. Our programs provide support to families who are currently involved with Child Welfare Services (CWS) to help parents create stable and nurturing home environments, ensure children at risk of removal remain safely in their homes, and ensure timely reunification of children who have been placed out of the home. Home Start uses evidence-based models to strengthen parenting skills, ensure stable and safe homes, and increase the health of children and their families. Our services include In-Home Parenting Education, Group Parenting Classes, Personalized Visitation Coaching, Family Support Clinician Services, Victim Services Case Management, and Parenting Partners for peer support.

    Expenses $3,007,215

  • Family Strengthening:Family Strengthening Services includes the First Steps program which provides home visiting services for pregnant women and families with children ages 0-3. First Steps promotes positive parenting and enhances child health and development for families who may face hardships and stressors that place them at increased risk for poor health and developmental outcomes. Our services are offered over the long term to prepare children to enter school as active learners, and ensure that all children are healthy, loved, and nurtured. Home Starts Communities in Action Program helps families move toward safety, empowerment, and connection by providing tools and increasing options for self-determination, financial independence, and healthy choices. Services include stabilization support, public benefits application assistance, workforce development, financial literacy, resident leadership academies, access to free tax assistance, education and cognitive development workshops, and healthy relationships workshops.

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. 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.
