In 2023, the ministry relocated from the Hobby Airport area into the heart of the city - the Spring Branch area. As the dynamics of the city and the needs of the women the ministry serves changed, it became clear that the traditional model of service no longer prepared the women in LifeHouse's care for sustainable, independent success. The old campus location was far from many of Houston's best resources and opportunities. Over time, this distance from the city brought about several challenges, including a lack of public transportation (on which many LifeHouse residents rely), job scarcity, inadequate school zoning, limited volunteer and church engagement, and a lack of community for residents and house parents alike. It became clear to the board and staff that a change needed to be made to foster long-term success. LifeHouse believes that, to break the generational cycles that keep families in poverty and relational deserts, the ministry needed to begin to provide accessibility to the resources of Houston. In preparation for the move and subsequent program changes, the ministry chose not to accept new women for a season to ensure stability for anyone entering the program. The last two residents of the former programming graduated in February 2024, the new 26-unit apartment complex was purchased in June, and LifeHouse reopened its doors in September, admitting its first cohort of 4 women, planning to grow by cohort quarterly until it reaches its maximum capacity. This move will increase residential capacity by more than 150% over the next 2 years as beds for women will be doubled, and the ministry will add the ability to take a woman's other children in as well (something that the former property did not allow). LifeHouse of Houston is a residential program for pregnant women and their additional children and is broken into two phases. Phase one is the maternity phase, which can be up to 10 months of care and includes a woman's prenatal months as well as three months of post-partum care. During this phase, women attend classes consisting of Bible Study, Parenting, Newborn Care, Pre/Postnatal, Nutrition, and Safe-Stretch for pregnant moms. They also participate in weekly counseling and case management meetings and are provided supplemental food and clothing provisions. In phase two of the programming, residents enter into the Family Life Program, which can last up to a year. In this phase, they can choose between a career or an education track (30 hours a week). Additionally, they attend Bible Study, Workforce Development classes, and Personal Development classes. They also continue in weekly counseling and bi-weekly case management and goal-setting meetings. 916352 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 22 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 X Melinda Williams CPA PLLC 7136773353 2315 FM 247 Midway TX 75852 Seth Bullock Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Yvette Simpson Vice Chair 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Clay Jeffirs Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Valerie Chase Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sue Baumgarten Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stacey Lamb Board Member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lesley Lilly Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Metzler Board Member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Sandidge Board Member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Van Zandt Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Claire Hao Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 111285 0 10874 111285 0 10874 1 0 0 0 TriArc Construction 1235 N Loop W Ste 1100 Houston TX 77008 Constuction - renovations 145160 1 694171 2172822 137472 2866993 70614 70614 955490 821703 133787 133787 133787 156000 694171 219746 -63746 -63746 3007648 0 0 140655 75245 75245 122159 73295 18324 30540 442947 248885 50827 143235 5872 3239 617 2016 36017 20288 4179 11550 46099 26255 5616 14228 105300 105300 45402 9963 12774 22665 2004 2004 61967 11764 29011 21192 26296 12409 5863 8024 222328 201865 1807 18656 3653 1736 1492 425 4751 2759 1962 30 77597 77597 54264 50943 2984 337 55505 48315 4371 2819 Repairs and maintenance 49972 49822 150 Dues & subscriptions 5549 1972 3319 258 1442927 916352 248596 277979 761990 785566 65 708 100000 781343 6153 23250 32000 3865674 106253 817662 3759421 1605656 1686621 11391 20145 3326167 7065804 47322 35351 4000 4000 2175000 51322 2214351 X 2683514 4772154 591331 79299 3274845 4851453 3326167 7065804 1564721 11887 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1322163 1469674 1673409 1878578 2866993 9210817 1322163 1469674 1673409 1878578 2866993 9210817 1002282 8208535 3970 160 794 54684 70614 130222 20931 20931 9361970 5082 0.87680 0.95040 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Insurance proceeds RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2403664 2403664 1257616 24800 1232816 174154 81453 92701 30240 30240 3759421 3020615 11887 1080 12967 3007648 0 3007648 1444007 1080 1080 1442927 0 1442927 Celebration Dinner 400177 305777 94400 2026 54351 19154 36911 Golf Tournament 449994 388394 61600 42282 50105 13272 1645 850171 694171 156000 44308 104456 32426 38556 219746 -63746 1 Lifeline support 26 14313 FMV Food, clothing, transportation, baby items, counseling Household, groceries, toiletries 6 13091 FMV Food and toiletries Family enrichment 6 125 FMV Recreation and entertainment for the families Resident support 6 47716 FMV Clothing, transportation, baby items, counseling Part I, Line 2: The Residential Maternity and Residential Family Life programs described in Part III provide individual assistance to the women the programs serve.
