Overview

Mission

We empower homeless and low-income families, particularly mothers motivated by pregnancy and parenthood, to find within themselves the strength and confidence they need to transform their lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Intensive Case management - HPP utilizes a holistic approach to empower pregnant women and families through trauma-informed case management services that help families work toward goals with one-on-one counseling (named internally ICM). Families who receive ongoing case management are generally involved with one of the following services at HPP: New Beginnings: Comprehensive support for women with high-risk pregnancies, including those with contributing risk factors such as homelessness, mental health issues, domestic violence and other challenges. Keeping Families Together: Individualized support for families involved with child welfare and/or substance use disorders. Bringing Families Home: Specialized housing assistance and counseling for high-need homeless families either involved with child welfare or at-risk of involvement. Domestic Violence Services: Family-centered support for those struggling with intimate partner violence. Mental Health & Parenting Services: Onsite individual, couples, family and group therapy to HPP clients, as well as parenting classes, fatherhood services and childrens playgroups. Specialized services for families and young children who have witnessed community or family violence (offered onsite through the Child Trauma Research Project).

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 62% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
