Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE MISSION OF CUIDANDO LOS NIOS IS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. WE DO THIS BY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, THERAPEUTIC SERVICES, SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND PARENT EDUCATION.

  • THE HOUSING PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FOUR DIFFERENT CONTRACTS. EACH CONTRACT ASSISTS FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS. CLIENTS ARE REFERRED TO US FROM THE COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM OR FROM THE FAMILY HOUSING NAVIGATION CENTER. THESE CLIENTS ARE GIVEN A RAPID REHOUSING VOUCHER WHICH PROVIDES 12-24 MONTHS OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE INCLUDING APPLICATION FEES, DEPOSITS AND RENT PAYMENTS. EACH FAMILY IS ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER WHO WORKS WITH THE FAMILY TO CREATE AN INDIVIDUALIZED 12-MONTH FAMILY SUCCESS PLAN. PROGRESS AND ADHERENCE TO THE PLAN IS TRACKED THROUGH WEEKLY PHONE CALLS AND MONTHLY HOUSE VISITS. THESE PLANS ARE CENTERED AROUND HELPING THE PARENTS OBTAIN STABILITY, STAY IN THEIR APARTMENTS, AND MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE ONCE THE VOUCHER IS COMPLETE. OUR HOUSING DEPARTMENT ALSO PROVIDES ASSISTANCE SEPARATELY FROM THE VOUCHERS THAT INCLUDES UTILITY BILLS, ARREARS, APPLICATION FEES, DEPOSITS, GAS CARDS, AND CELL PHONES.

    Expenses $1,622,148 · Grants $888,500 · Revenue $1,190,246

  • CLN'S CHILDREN'S SERVICES PROGRAM IS RATED FIVE-STAR BY THE NM CHILDREN YOUTH AND FAMILIES DEPARTMENT AND IS ALSO NATIONALLY ACCREDITED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN (NAEYC). CLN OPERATES ON A DAILY BASIS, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M. THE CURRICULUM IS EXPERIENCE-BASED AND STRUCTURED TO SUPPORT PHYSICAL, SOCIO-EMOTIONAL, INTELLECTUAL, AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT WITH ONGOING SCREENINGS. CHILDREN ARE FED A NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND SNACK THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IMMUNIZATIONS ARE KEPT UP-TO-DATE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A PUBLIC HEALTH CLINIC DAY ONCE A MONTH. A THERAPIST WORKS REGULARLY WITH STAFF, FAMILIES, AND IN PLAY THERAPY WITH CHILDREN. TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED DAILY TO APPROXIMATELY HALF THE CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS DO NOT HAVE CARS.

    Expenses $1,229,926 · Revenue $1,135,500

  • THE FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH FAMILIES TO ADVANCE PROGRESS ON GOALS IN SELF-SUFFICIENCY, A PATH OF EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS, AND RE-ENTRY INTO THE COMMUNITY AS PRODUCTIVE, CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS. SPECIFIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES INCLUDE CONDUCTING A FAMILY-NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPING AN INDIVIDUALIZED ONE-YEAR FAMILY ACTION PLAN THAT IS MONITORED ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGH HOME VISITS. A FORMAL REFERRAL PROCESS IS USED FOR HOUSING, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS, DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, EMPLOYMENT, AND EDUCATION SERVICES THROUGH COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. WEEKLY PARENT EDUCATION CLASSES FOCUS ON THREE AREAS: PARENTING SKILLS, WELLNESS AND NUTRITION, AND LIFE SKILLS. ONE-ON-ONE PARENT MEETINGS OCCUR REGULARLY WITH FAMILY CASE MANAGERS, TEACHERS, AND HOME VISITS.

    Expenses $312,530 · Revenue $492,400

  • THE ADVOCACY PROGRAM ADVOCATES FOR THE SOCIAL CHANGE NECESSARY TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY EMPOWERING A GROUP OF PARENTS WITH THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS SO THAT THEY CAN BE SELF-ADVOCATES AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO POLICY MAKERS. THE GROUP IS TRAINED AND FACILITATED BY A DEDICATED STAFF MEMBER. CLN ALSO LEADS A COALITION OF NON-PROFIT, EDUCATIONAL, AND GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES TO ADVANCE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AS A MEANS OF BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THE COALITION ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY ASSESSMENTS, STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS THAT CREATE SYSTEMIC CHANGES TO EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEMS.

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.

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.
