While there are several faith-based, outpatient treatment programs in Southeastern PA, Refuge is the only faith-based counseling for adults in our region credentialed to accept Medicaid funds. At Refuge, a sensitive, pastoral counseling approach tailored to the urban context forms the basis of our intervention and these foundational principles are coupled with trauma-focused and evidence-based counseling techniques. Our model of care was born in the Hispanic community and has been extended to African Americans, Caucasians and immigrant families living throughout our region. We treat diagnosed conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, anger, and Bipolar Disorder. 210484 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true true true false PA X X Bryan M Dickey Executive Director i 2679098550 2938 N 5th St Philadelphia PA 19133 Bryan Dickey Exec Director Interim 040.00 X 43484 0 0 Rev Luis Centeno Board Chair 006.00 X X 0 0 0 Odir Chavez Treasurer 002.00 X X 0 0 0 Rev Bob Lundgren Member 002.00 X 0 0 0 43484 false false false 14150 62083 4800 76233 counseling services 621400 136353 136353 136353 records request fees / copies fees 900099 60 60 misc revenue / expense refunds prior period 900099 15 15 75 212661 136428 X 0 0 0 0 44755 36763 6394 1598 0 96814 96814 0 9092 7468 1299 325 11400 9364 1629 407 0 0 3556 3556 0 0 26126 26126 36 18 18 9464 7035 2133 296 5771 4741 824 206 0 18448 15154 2635 659 169 169 0 0 879 879 0 0 8171 6712 1167 292 payroll processing fees 3265 3265 fundraising software 1763 1763 cc merchant processing fees 602 247 355 books, subscriptions, reference 289 289 1630 1468 162 242230 210484 25496 6250 58041 50414 1000 1000 26794 11218 95816 95816 2714 2714 88549 65346 182010 188376 182010 188376 X -93461 -123030 -93461 -123030 88549 65346 -29569 X X false X false X false X 58375 55786 62735 88235 71433 336564 58375 55786 62735 88235 71433 336564 181500 155064 712 204 386 160 74 1536 338100 552840 0.45860 0.39830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 46011 46011 49805 49805 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b POLICIES A copy of the organizations form 990 is made available to the Board of Directors prior to filing the return.

On behalf of all those involved with this agency, I request that you please forgive the penalty for late filing projected for our 2021 and 2022 990 tax returns in consideration of the reasonable causes described here. Originally due 11/15/2022 2021 and 11/15/2023 2022, over the last 2 years we have made steady, collective efforts to address the abrupt disruptions to our business environment following the COVID19 pandemic shutdowns. It affected every part of our business. We saw fundamental changes in how our core services were delivered, coded, and regulated related to the spontaneous arrival of telehealth. Each unanticipated change required us to make significant revisions in our operations. These disruptions have taken us years to address. Multiple failures in our core technology in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 also contributed to the slow progress in the recovery of our administrative / back-end accounting and reporting processes. We have profound respect for this institution and these requirements, and we have made all the necessary improvements in our operations to simultaneously submit our x2 delayed returns and ensure that we will submit 2023 on time, as required. We hope you will see the immense task that we have overcome and approve our request for grace. Thank you for your consideration.
