What it reported doing in 2024

Family advocacy & counseling services new horizons counseling center's(nhcc) reduced fee program (rfp) helps clients access professional counseling services regardless of income. For fye 6/30/25, the reduced fee rfp program performed services to 492 clients and accounted for 64% of the agency's clinical hours. People who are served by this program are challenged by depression, anxiety, domestic violence, relationship issues, work related issues, job loss, seeking new employment, disability, regulating emotional responses, parenting issues, school related problems, grief and loss, trauma, behavioral orders and more. The sliding scale program of the rfp is designed to help people in our community gain access to professional counseling services by reducing fees for those clients who do not have insurance or the financial means to pay full fees. A fee on the sliding scale is determined based on poverty level income for our area, the total household income, and the number of people who live in the home the household income supports. The lowest fee on the sliding scale is 20.00 for a one hour counseling session. The sponsor-a-client program of the rfp is designed to help consumers who have absolutely no means to pay for needed counseling services. Clinical services provided through this program are subsidized by nhcc at 100%. Another area of the rfp is contracts and special billings which covers the special billing arrangements nhcc has with agencies in the community. Nhcc works in collaboration with over 30 local agencies and has contracts and special billing agreements to provide professional counseling services at a reduced rate.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
