Mission and programs · 2024

• Transitional Housing & Education Program:Visitation House Ministries Transitional Housing and Education Programs have historically offered resources, services, and opportunities for economically vulnerable women and their children. Through its programs, Visitation House Ministries focuses on the cycle of poverty resulting from limited education, which in turn limits opportunities for earning a living wage and leads to homelessness and family disintegration.For nearly 40 years the Transitional Housing component of VHM offered a two-year residential program by providing stability for homeless single mothers with young children and assisting them in gaining the education and skills needed to move from homelessness into permanent housing and sustainable economic independence. All families received intensive (weekly/daily) support services, including case management and referrals, life skills training, counseling, educational tutoring and academic advisement. In 2024, Visitation House Ministries provided transitional housing, education and comprehensive support services for five (5) homeless families consisting of five (5) adults and nine (9) children for a total of 3,251 days in residence. The transitional housing program was designed to bring about transformational change. Our goal has never been limited to providing social services and subsidized housing, but to offer the support necessary to help women make changes in their lives that will move them towards self-sufficiency. It challenges their internal motivation - believing that further education and a better job are not impossible dreams - and then offers them the resources and encouragement to achieve those dreams. Each mom pursued a distinctive education goal, particular to her level of education attainment. During the Spring and Fall semesters of 2024, three program participants attended San Antonio College (SAC), one worked towards earning her GED, and one participant graduated from the Goodwill Career Academy as a Medical Assistant. These women are first-generation students. Three participants maintained part-time employment while in school. The women attending SAC received grants that covered their tuition and books. Program participants who have income made minimal rent payments up to 30% of their part-time earnings less deductions for the number of children they had. Three participants were able to pay the highly subsidized rent and utilities. Two participants were under the support of our programming while working towards their certifications or looking for employment. When participants were able to pay for utilities, the bill was placed in their name, allowing them to develop budgeting skills and build credit. Visitation House Ministries, through its donors, supplied the families with hygiene and cleaning products that they could not purchase with their SNAP benefits. Program participants received weekly case management and referrals to other resources as necessary and weekly virtual individual counseling. Medicaid covered the childrens healthcare needs and the case manager referred the adults to area clinics that accept uninsured patients. Participants also received assistance with health-related costs such as eye and dental care. A key element of Visitation House programming was the Children Enrichment Program. Over 38 years of professional experience has taught us that the children will be the change agents to break generational cycles of poverty and/or homelessness. The goal of this program is to address and mitigate factors that place children at risk of poor academic outcomes. These factors include migration from school to school and high rates of absenteeism due to financial barriers, residential instability and family violence. The after-school coordinator was a paid intern earning a degree in Psychology. The latter carried out the daily work of providing academic, inspirational and motivational support for the children. We were also able to welcome volunteers to assist with the after-school enrichment program. In 2024, eight school-aged children participated in the afterschool program. Each child received approximately 2-3 hours a week of tutoring with a focus on reading and math. The children experienced improvement in one or more subject areas, school commendations and/or higher attendance rate. In addition to the tutoring, they were involved in activities that were non-academic e.g. creative projects, play and educational games, and story time. Donated Services(In-Kind) for 2024 amounted to $3,045.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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. 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.
