Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Established in 1983, Urban Ministries of Durham provides case management to end people's homelessness, offer emergency shelter, free meals, groceries, clothing, referral to needed resources, workforce and life skills training, and educational enrichment to meet the needs of very poor and hungry neighbors.
-
UMD is the primary public homeless shelter for individuals and the backup shelter for families, with an overall capacity to serve 149. As a low-barrier, Housing-First emergency shelter, we seek to meet people "where they are" while providing case management to stabilize individuals experiencing homelessness and move them into permanent housing as quickly as possible.As a response to COVID-19, UMD's campus capacity has been reduced to 83 beds (36 of which are in nine family rooms) to prevent the potential spread of coronavirus. We now operate a satellite location at the Carolina-Duke Inn, which has allotted 38 rooms to shelter medically fragile individuals at high risk for COVID-related complications. All residents are admitted via referral from Durham County Coordinated Entry.
Expenses $3,360,961
-
Community outreach - Workforce development services are integrated into our case management program. UMD clients in need of income from a job can receive assistance from our workforce team to create resumes, search for and apply for jobs and obtain referrals to our partner agencies for workforce training and other needs. Our staff provides regular support to clients balancing work or the need to secure employment with overcoming homelessness. When the pandemic hit, many current and former UMD clients either lost their jobs, had their hours cut, or suddenly found themselves grappling with the immense pressure (and opportunities) of being an essential worker. Workforce helped clients navigate the backlogged unemployment system, assisted qualifying workers to track and obtain their stimulus checks, write and re-submit resumes, and coordinate transportation
Expenses $195,730
-
Mission Society - The Food Pantry and Clothing Closet provide food, clothing and hygiene items to low-resource community members, shelter residents and homeless persons living on the street - serving over 500 households each month. Due to the pandemic, we had to suspend both operations in March 2020 but resumed food distributions in mid- August. UMD is providing a combination of fresh and shelf stable items sourced from the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, Sankofa Farms and out own food pantry. Contactless distribution takes place weekly in a neighboring parking lot, serving up to 150 households. We are working on how best to resume clothing distributions, but will find a way to adapt.

The first 25 listed. 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.

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.
