01What it does

What United Methodist Home for Children Inc does

Mission

Provide a safe and caring program for youth that inspires hope for the future and stresses personal responsibility within an atmosphere of respect for everyone.

As stated on its FY2018 Form 990.

Program

The purpose of united methodist home for children's community-based residential care program is to serve the needs of children and adolescents in the child welfare and juvenile probation systems of pennsylvania. Our residential care program operates 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The young people who reside in this program are unable, for many reasons, to live at home with their families, or within foster home placements in the community. The residents have emotional and behavioral problems which natural and foster families have thus far been unable to resolve. Each young person has a specific and special need. Individual service plans are prepared for each child.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
