Programs

On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Visitation House Board formally resolved to discontinue its Transitional Housing Program. Visitation House began as a temporary shelter, providing immediate refuge for homeless women and children. Over time, it evolved to adopt a Transitional Housing and Education Model to address the challenges faced by single moms needing to support a family. It is evident that educational attainment was and continues to be the most critical factor in a womans ability to achieve financial independence while serving as a role model for her children. This generational change has proved to be the lasting legacy of Visitation House Ministries. Given the unsustainable financial costs of the housing program for the small ministry, and the increase in similar programs and subsidized housing resources in the community, it was realized that the need was to adapt to these changing times. The Visitation House board of directors made a strategic decision to shift the ministrys focus from a housing-centered program to focus on education and related support services for the vulnerable women and children they are privileged to serve. This change in direction reflects the commitment to meeting the current needs of those served sustainably and with the continued commitment to program quality that honors the dignity of everyone.As part of this transition, the remaining families in the housing program, are to vacate by June 2025. Accordingly, the Board approved…

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

  1. Transitional Housing & Education Program:Visitation House Ministries Transitional Housing and Education Programs have historically offered resources, services, and opportunities for economically vulnerable women and their children. Through its programs, Visitation House Ministries focuses on the cycle of poverty resulting from limited education, which in turn limits opportunities for earning a living wage and leads to homelessness and family disintegration.For nearly 40 years the Transitional Housing component of VHM offered a two-year residential program by providing stability for homeless single mothers with young children and assisting them in gaining the education and skills needed to move from homelessness into permanent housing and sustainable economic independence. All families received intensive (weekly/daily) support services, including case management and referrals, life skills training, counseling, educational tutoring and academic advisement. In 2024, Visitation House Ministries provided transitional housing, education and comprehensive support services for five (5) homeless families consisting of five (5) adults and nine (9) children for a total of 3,251 days in…

  2. VHM began the Supportive Services Program in September 2023 with the goal to provide support to women in the community. This program extended our nonresidential support services to the larger population of low-income women in the San Antonio community. In collaboration with a local affordable housing program, we offered a ten-week program aiding economically vulnerable single mothers. During this period, 10 participants received case management support and resources focused on education and the workforce. The women set goals based on their individual needs they could achieve within the period, such as working on attaining a higher level of education, exploring career opportunities, budget building, creating healthy habits, or developing life skills, leading to stability to support their families. The outcomes of this program include:100% of Housing Program participants experience changes in their lives that are moving them to self-sufficiency.100% of children in the Children Enrichment Program experience residential stability, a nurturing environment and educational support. 100% of Supportive Service participants experienced improved confidence in their abilities to navigate…

From the IRS filings of Visitation House MinistriesInc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

Visitation House MinistriesInc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $165k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states 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.
