Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To provide help to individuals who can not find help in the form of housing, counseling, and other support so that they can eventually live productive independent lives. Hope House provides hope, care and compassion to nearly 2,000 individuals in need each month.

  • Community Services - Community House - Since its founding in 1980 with 10 beds it has grown to a 30 bed house that provides a compassionate approach to crisis intervention and a residual community for homeless young people in need. The program serves primarily youth between the ages of 16 and 21 years. It offers a creative living space where a young person can grow and develop. St. Francis House/Hope Academy - A long-term non-traditional residential treatment program for addiction and additional residential support for the Community House. St Louis de Montfort Academy - An alternative junior/senior high school providing individualized instruction and private tutoring staffed by a principal and volunteer teachers. Wisdom House - A residence for long-term needs of both men and women, 21 years and older in a crisis situation or homelessness in a semi-structured living environment. Siena House- A home for women and children who have suffered from domestic violence.

    Expenses $2,016,064

  • Montfort Therapeutic Residence - Consists of Community House and school for youths ages 11-18 who are court remanded. The program provides intense therapy to rehabilitate youths who would otherwise be detained in the court system. These children are in a time of great crisis in their young lives and they are provided with a healthy stable environment, a school program, individual counseling, group dynamics and educational and recreational outings. Its greatest gift is providing aftercare services when a young person returns home.

    Expenses $1,533,757

  • Pax Christi Hospitality Center - A 25 bed emergency residence for men over 16 provides those in need on Long Island a compassionate temporary residence offering shelter and food, human needs and services, advocacy and networking.

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.

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.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared as related by

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.
