Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $14,605 spent. Project H.O.M.E.R.U.N. represents: The Housing, Outreach, Mentorship, Employment, and Reentry Uplift Network. This initiative provides a comprehensive approach to navigating the housing market, 1-on-1 transition planning, peer support, workforce readiness training, job placement, and internship opportunities. Our goal is to foster resilience, cultivate self-sufficiency, and dismantle barriers to successful community integration, ensuring every young adult is enveloped in what we fondly call "the Tribe," a supportive network of community organizations, leaders, and stakeholders dedicated to their success. To achieve our goal, we will provide the following services: temporary housing options, individualized service planning, workshops and programs to develop participants' job-seeking skills, including resume building, mock interviews, provide access to paid internship opportunities and secure long-term employment. Youth will also be paired with trained mentors who will provide personalized support and coaching on personal growth, social connections, and career development. In September 2024, we successfully had a soft launch of Project H.O.M.E.R.U.N. which resulted in enrolling Cohort 1 of 10 youth resident participants. Additionally, we participated in the Black Men's Health & Wellness event (November 2024).
