We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

• FAMILY CHILDCARE: IN 1988, PROJECT HOPE LAUNCHED THE FAMILY CHILDCARE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, AN INNOVATIVE VENTURE TO SUPPORT HOME-BASED CHILDCARE PROVIDERS. KNOWN TODAY AS THE FAMILY CHILDCARE NETWORK (FCC). THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES TECHNICAL SUPPORT, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, AND SUPPORT TO WOMEN TO HELP THEM ESTABLISH HOME-BASED DAYCARES THAT FOCUS ON QUALITY CARE AND EDUCATION. MANY OF OUR PROVIDERS ARE MULTI-LINGUAL AND PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED BILINGUAL/BICULTURAL CHILDCARE TO IMMIGRANT AND NON-IMMIGRANT FAMILIES ALIKE. FCC PROVIDERS ARE LICENSED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE. WE OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGE LEVEL CHILD DEVELOPMENT COURSES AND A RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ON AN ONGOING BASIS. THESE INCLUDE TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE, SAFETY, CHILD DEVELOPMENT.

• SHELTER: PROJECT HOPE'S FAMILY SHELTER, FOUNDED IN 1981, WAS ONE OF THE FIRST EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTERS FOR FAMILIES IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS AND CONTINUES TO ADDRESS THE URGENT NEED FOR EMERGENCY TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE OFFER A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR 11 WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN AT A TIME. THE FAMILIES WE PARTNER WITH FACE A NUMBER OF BARRIERS TO HOUSING STABILITY, INCLUDING LONG WAIT LISTS FOR PUBLIC HOUSING, FEWER SUBSIDIES FOR MARKET RATE HOUSING, RISING RENTS, RISING COSTS FOR HEAT, FOOD INSTABILITY, LACK OF ACCESS TO QUALITY CHILDCARE, AND FEW SLOTS IN JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS. EACH FAMILY WE SERVE HAS A PRIVATE ROOM AND ACCESS TO A COMMUNAL KITCHEN, DINING ROOM, LIVING ROOM AND CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY PLAYROOM. THE SHELTER STABILIZES FAMILIES THROUGH CASE MANAGEMENT AND HOUSING SEARCH TO ASSIST THEM IN FINDING SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. FAMILIES ARE ALSO CONNECTED TO PROJECT HOPE'S WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. THE SHELTER IS A MODEL FOR A RESPECTFUL AND EMPOWERING APPROACH THAT PRIORITIZES HELPING WOMEN GAIN CONFIDENCE AND PREVAIL AGAINST TREMENDOUS ODDS.

  Expenses $1,345,143

• HOUSING SERVICES: THE ORIGINAL MISSION OF PROJECT HOPE'S HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT WAS TO FIND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR FAMILIES LIVING IN OUR FAMILY SHELTER. WHILE WE CONTINUE THAT WORK TODAY, OUR SERVICES HAVE EXPANDED TO SUPPORT FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOUSING INSTABILITY THROUGH EVICTION PREVENTION AND HOUSING SEARCH/PLACEMENT. OUR TEAM PROVIDES HOUSING COUNSELING, EVICTION PREVENTION, LANDLORD NEGOTIATION, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, BUDGETING ADVICE, AND EMERGENCY RENTAL FUNDS. WE ALSO HAVE MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM WHO WORK AT TWO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSITIONAL ASSISTANCE OFFICES AND MEET WITH HOMELESS OR AT-RISK FAMILIES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ALTERNATIVES TO SHELTER.

  Expenses $632,542

• ADULT EDUCATION AND EMPLOYER PARTNERS: IN 1990, PROJECT HOPE ESTABLISHED THE ADULT EDUCATION SERVICES PROGRAM TO MEET THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME AND HOMELESS WOMEN. IN 1996, THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT WAS FOUNDED TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY SINGLE MOTHERS, GAIN WORKFORCE SKILLS AND ACCESS CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. AFTER OFFERING THESE TWO SERVICES AS STANDALONE PROGRAMS, WE COMBINED THEM INTO THE WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IN 2019 TO BETTER SERVE OUR FAMILIES. THIS ENSURES THAT NO MATTER THEIR ENTRY POINT INTO PROJECT HOPE, ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BENEFITS FROM A CAREER PATHWAY FOCUS THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO DEVELOP THE EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT NECESSARY TO OBTAIN, RETAIN, AND IMPROVE EMPLOYMENT. WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION OFFER LOW-INCOME WOMEN, PRIMARILY FROM ROXBURY AND NORTH DORCHESTER, BASIC EDUCATION, AND ENGLISH LEARNING CLASSES, AS WELL AS A RANGE OF JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYEMENT SKILLS, CAREER EXPLORATION, AND EXPERTISE SPECIFIC TO ADMINISTRATIVE JOBS IN HEALTHCARE. WE LEVERAGE EMPLOYER PARTNERSHIPS TO HELP EVERY PROGRAM GRADUATE SECURE A JOB OR INTERNSHIP AND WE PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THEIR FIRST YEAR OF EMPLOYMENT.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
