More than 40% of SHC students report no formal schooling and are not literate in their native language. In 2024, the online English Language Learner Program had 1162 enrollments during three 11-week sessions (Fall, Winter, Spring) and one-five week (Summer) session. 86% of students had attendance of 70% or higher. A secondary component of the program are Welcome Workshops which are conducted in-person. Participants engage in English, learn practical skills for outside the home environment, and develop the social skills and confidence necessary for broader community engagement. A synchronous SHC Preschool meets twice per week on Zoom for children (ages 3-5). Preschool meets concurrent with SHC online adult ELL classes and is taught by a certified and experienced ESL teacher. Children who accompany their parents to Welcome Workshops are engaged in a complementary SHC preschool program. 159667 Citizenship Preparation Program: The Citizenship Preparation Program includes classes taught by professionally certified ESL instructors, one on one tutoring, field trips, and activities to promote civic engagement.

Students develop the confidence to engage in their new communities and with their new neighbors. Since 2021 more than 170 students enrolled in the program have successfully become US Citizens. 50395 English Together: English Together is a literacy-based instructional program designed to serve parents of school-aged children in local public schools.

As of December 31, 2024, SHC had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. SHCs policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through December 31, 2024, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties.Generally, the tax years before 2021 are no longer subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities. true Housing Food School Supplies and Other Assistance 85 7776 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 After the federal form 990 is prepared by an independent accountant, the draft version of the federal form 990 is reviewed by the entire Board of Directors before being filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
