Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Renaissance Social Services (RSSI) is a unique organization that connects those in need with housing that is safe, quality and affordable. After helping clients attain housing RSSI provides them with comprehensive, flexible, client focused support case management services. The flexible service delivery model gives RSSI clients the opportunity to live on their own with the support they need to be successful. The goal is to empower the individual or family to become as autonomous from RSSI and the social service system as possible.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Develop low-income residential facilities & address needs of individuals in these facilities.

  • Supportive Housing Outreach Program (SHOT). This program provides permanent supportive housing and wrap-around supportive services for chronically homeless individuals with disabilities. The program utilizes a scattered site housing model and practices Housing First. SHOT serves 111 individuals. Supportive services are delivered by Clinical Case Managers, who provide behavioral healthcare to participants. A visiting nurse provides primary care (wound care, health education, vaccinations) and supported linkage to community-based integrated care providers. The agency also provides employment services that are target to persons with behavioral health issues.

    Expenses $1,802,858 · Grants $1,246,256 · Revenue $1,982,342

  • The Housing Stability Program serves homeless and disabled families and individuals, chronically homeless individuals and those at risk of becoming homeless throughout Chicago by helping them attain affordable permanent housing at one of the buildings we serve. We provide them with ongoing supportive case management services which are individualized to meet the needs of the specific individual or family and are focused attaining a greater level of autonomy. Ultimately the goal is to enable the family or person to have the skills necessary to no longer need services from RSSI.To qualify for this program the head of household must be homeless and have a disability. Qualifying disabilities include Mental Health, Physical, HIV/AIDS and/or a Substance Induced Disorder. The disability must be of a long-continued duration, impedes ones ability to live independently, and be of a nature that could be improved by more suitable housing, or be from AIDs or conditions arising from its etiological effects.RSSI's team of case managers provides services which are tailored to meet the needs of the individual or family. Intensity of services is initially very intense when a client enters the program and less so as time passes and the client increases autonomy. Collaboration with the client is key for the process of increasing their self-determination, and goals and services are agreed upon jointly so everyone has a role in the delivery of services.

    Expenses $960,998 · Grants $351,064

Adults in the program are encouraged to participate in the employment services, which are targeted to persons with behavioral health issues. Children in the program receive a set of educational supports as needed.

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.

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 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.
