Overview

Mission

We do everything for the good of the resident. Family Support Addiction not only affects the individual but also their entire family. We at Hope Center offer resources for family members to help heal the wounds that addiction has caused them, as well as giving them the tools necessary to help their loved ones on their journey. Recovery begins with the resident, but it involves the entire family. With this in mind, we have developed a portion of our program to ensure that the families of our residents are able to participate in the recovery of their loved ones in a safe and structured environment.

What it reported doing in 2022

Hope Center Ministries (HCM) exists to lead addicts and their families to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We provide men and women with the opportunity to overcome their drug and alcohol addiction through their faith. Our program is designed to show these individuals how to find peace and lasting freedom from their addictions through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. There are three phases to the in-house program: a reflection period, vocational training, and community living. Residents must complete all three phases to graduate. HCM had approximately 975 residents in its programs located in 38 locations across 13 states during 2022.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 72% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
