What The Hope Center at Pullen Inc does
Mission
The hope center at pullen empowers emerging adults who are transitioning out of foster care in wake county with the support and connections needed for a safe and stable adulthood.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We begin working with foster youth when they turn 13. Our youth programs offer tutoring, mentors, internship opportunities and life skills classses to teens in foster care. Our work continues through our transition program which serves youth ages 18-24 (27 if they are parenting). Our staff uses trauma-informed care and follows housing first best practices to help former foster youth achieve and maintain safe, stable housing while coaching them on their journey to adulthood. Once our youth are stably housed we are able to help them achieve their educational and employment goals.

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 2023 to 2024, from $1.3M to $1.9M (+44%).
