Lydia's House continues to be the only stand-alone/confidentially located Transitional Housing Program in Missouri and is one of the largest in the country. Since inception in 1995, over 1,330 adults and their children and pets have come into Lydia's House for safety and resources. Lydia's House serves 50 adults and up to 85 children at one time for up to 24 months. In 2023 the average stay was 19 months. In this fiscal year, Lydia's House Transitional Housing Program provided 29,114 nights of safe housing and supportive services to a total of 118 survivors(55 adults and 63 children) as they made the transition from emergency shelter to safe independent living into homes of their own after receiving all the resources that they needed to overcome domestic violence. The program held 13,496 individual Case Management Sessions to help adults and their children heal and to provide resources to achieve their educational, health, employment, permanent housing, and other related goals. In addition, Lydia's House provided 260 sessions of Individual Advocacy related to legal issues such as Orders of Protection and additional Civil/Criminal Advocacy. Thirty-one (31) adult Support Groups and thirty-six (36) children's support groups were conducted to provide the opportunity to share experiences, knowledge, and strength related to the violence they experienced. Advocates also provided 1,953 Follow-Up sessions to former residents of Lydia's House. Periodic satisfaction surveys show that 96% of adult domestic violence victims reported having an increased knowledge of resources and 100% reported an increased sense of safety as a result of Individual Advocacy and attending Support Groups. Lydia's House relies on the generosity of friends and supporters to meet the enormous cost of providing programs and services year-round to adults and children escaping domestic violence. Abusive behavior and violence are never acceptable. Everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and to live in a safe place they can call home. In 2023, Lydia's House prepared for CARF International certification. This process involved enhancing existing policies and introducing new policies and procedures. The site visit for accreditation was held in December of 2023. 1491509 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 26 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Karen Kirk PresCEO 3147714411 PO Box 2722 StLouis MO 63116 Ellie Glenn Harmon Board Chair 0.45 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Cassady Board Vice-Chair 0.75 X X 0 0 0 Bob Steinback Secretary 0.68 X X 0 0 0 Kathleen Judge Treasurer 0.47 X X 0 0 0 Al Otto Board member 0.35 X 0 0 0 Alesha Henley Board member 0.24 X 0 0 0 Donna Erbs Board member 0.27 X 0 0 0 Katie Saeger Board member 0.30 X 0 0 0 Ghellissa Johnson-Lewis Board member 0.13 X 0 0 0 Julie Bartold Board member 0.22 X 0 0 0 Susan Conrad Board member 0.30 X 0 0 0 Karen Kirk President/CEO 50.00 X 162834 0 21675 162834 0 21675 1 false true false 0 X 257316 1077200 1099126 272807 2433642 Food sales-employment prog. 900099 36912 0 0 36912 73246 0 73246 17100 7076 10024 10024 10024 4060750 750 4127835 12905 -67085 -12155 -79240 0 0 -79240 86474 249026 105412 -18938 0 -18938 8200 6642 1558 1558 1746 1746 1746 Miscellaneous 900099 1896 0 0 1896 1896 2460846 38658 0 -11454 13203 13203 198404 68923 58019 71462 624398 546140 6724 71534 25723 22101 306 3316 110167 103746 1358 5063 59232 44831 4130 10271 38372 0 38372 0 23447 0 23447 0 8491 0 8491 0 45890 33994 1152 10744 28075 14875 1004 12196 170808 160336 3054 7418 20350 16642 0 3708 5675 4943 364 368 10236 10059 177 0 168866 163846 1464 3556 45880 40564 2593 2723 Food/prod.costs-empl.program 76883 76883 0 0 Dues/subscriptions 7346 6513 100 733 Resident assistance 74491 74491 0 0 Furnishings/appliances 85116 85116 0 0 19594 4303 8344 6947 1860647 1491509 159099 210039 37808 39203 392591 567601 7500 50000 158962 187287 11364 941 29403 35372 5098774 2436777 2827579 2661997 1811684 2484884 500 500 5277391 6027785 69861 84483 9985 7440 276695 249324 1000 0 357541 341247 X 4873672 5654568 46178 31970 4919850 5686538 5277391 6027785 600199 166489 X X false true X true false X 0 1589831 1918382 1916860 1942490 2433642 9801205 0 0 1589831 1918382 1916860 1942490 2433642 9801205 198805 9602400 11917 37616 62752 123889 90346 326520 0 3023 457 1564 1049 1896 7989 10135714 193757 0.94740 0.94970 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Misc. 2018: 3023. 2019: 457. 2020: 1564. 2021: 1049. 2022: 1896.

Any responses were then summarized and any changes forwarded to the tax return preparer for inclusion in the final return. Pt VI, Line 12c The entire board meets annually for an orientation meeting. At this meeting, disclosure forms are updated and reviewed for compliance or concerns. The executive committee maintains a note about any concerns that would impact voting. Pt VI, Line 15a The board does an annual performance review of the President/CEO. As a part of this review, a determination is made as to whether a salary merit/cost of living increase will be given. The salary has been compared to other President/CEO's of similar agencies in the St. Louis area and has been found to be comparable. Pt VI, Line 15b There are no other key employees besides the President/CEO. No officers of the board of directors are compensated for their work on behalf of Lydia's House. Pt VI, Line 19 Copies of the audited financial statements and other organizational documents are on Candid (formerly Guidestar), our website, and are available upon request. Pt XII, Line 2c The executive committee reviews the in-house financial statements on a monthly basis. The executive committee also reviews the audited financial statements, done by an independent accounting firm, prior to the full board reviewing them. The executive committee authorizes the selection of the firm to perform the audit. Other Pt. XII,line 2a - The organization contracts with a CPA to review, on a monthly basis, the accounting transactions, reconcile the bank accounts, make entries as needed in the accounting software, prepare the monthly financial statements, act as a consultant on business matters as needed, prepare the draft of the audited financial statements and work with the auditors, and prepare the form 990. CPA review and oversight results in a comprehensive analysis each month. Pt VIII Line 6 - The organization had two tenants in one building during the year. The calculation of the program use of the building, computed using both time and amount of space used,resulted in 95.83%. Since the program use of the building is above the 85% threshhold for Unrelated Business Taxable Income, there is no tax on the net rental income and no 990-T filed. Pt VIII Line 8c - On occasion there is a loss (fair market value of tickets and other event revenue less expenses)for several reasons. Expenses for postage and printing of invitations and programs, costs of awards given, and other expenses are not part of the FMV of the ticket price so become expenses not offset by revenue after excluding the contribution portion. In addition it is difficult to determine the FMV of a ticket. If you offset the loss with the contributions on line 8, you'll see that the sponsorships, general contributions, and ticket prices in excess of FMV more than make up for the loss. Other Pt.V, line 2a - W-2's issued in 2022 - Of the 26 total, 19 were filed with the Lydia's House Federal ID number. The other 7 were filed with Lydia's Ladle's Federal ID number, 37-1738904.
