Programs
Not described on the e-filed return.
$70,946 spent100% of program spendingThese military families are eligible for lodging while the veterans or active duty service members are receiving treatment in the texas medical center in houston, tx. These fisher houses are owned by the department of veterans affairs, which is only able to provide limited goods & services to these family member guest. Fisher House Friends of Houston (fhfoh) works with the managers of these houses to determine the additional goods & services most beneficial to these families, which covers a very broad range and cannot be described in terms of traditional programs with separate descriptions. Essentially, fhfoh has one program - working with the managers to help the guests as much as possible. Fhfoh has provided a variety of goods & services in response to the managers requests. These goods & services benefit virtually all guests of these houses. The guest population fluctuates as the patients are admitted and discharged from these various hospitals. It has been estimated that approximately 150 families per month are lodged in the 3 houston fisher houses, with at least one person and no more than 3 family members per room.
The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $70,946.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $194k to $508k (+161%).

49% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
