Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The primary focus of Urban Hope is to partner with families who seek affordable rental housing and/or home ownership.

  • Highlights of Urban Hopes program accomplishments for 2024: By the end of 2024, Urban Hope provided 35 units of rental housing, with 104 tenants housed throughout the year and living in stable, safe, affordable housing. With tremendous community support, Urban Hope kept 90% of our tenants stably and safely housed throughout the last year. Several of our clients moved from unstable circumstances and escaped displacement by transitioning into our rentals. Urban Hope completed its second new construction project on a land bank lot awarded by the City of Richmond, hired two new staff members, completed a capital campaign for our HW renovations, and were awarded over $1M in competitive grants for the preservation of 16 of our units. Urban Hope maintained partnership with 52 private lenders, which supported the purchase and renovation of properties. Urban Hope continued its successful financial cohort program, matching their savings 5:1, and reducing client debt, helping secure a drivers license and a new car, and much more. We continued offering financial health to the public as well. Urban Hope made great strides towards our mission of making home a cornerstone of opportunity by keeping it affordable.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

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 11 November 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.
