Humility Of Mary Housing

What Humility Of Mary Housing does

Humility of Mary Housing Inc. (HMHI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit housing and supportive services organization founded circa 1996 by Sr. Loretta Rafter through HM Life Opportunity Services, originally to help homeless single-parent families achieve self-sufficiency. Headquartered in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, the organization now operates nine physical housing facilities across Lorain, Summit, Cuyahoga, and Trumbull counties serving three distinct beneficiary segments: homeless single-parent families, homeless youth aged 18–24, and low-income seniors. Senior housing assets include St. Martha Manor, St. Patrick Manor, St. Timothy Manor, St. Timothy Park Apartments, and Villa at Marian Park; family and youth housing includes Opportunity House and Faith House; emergency assistance is delivered through Emmanuel Community Care Center in Girard. Support programs comprise Case Management Services, Emergency Assistance (food, clothing, rent, utility support), Youth Advocacy (tutoring, field trips, summer day camp), and the fundraising arm HMH Foundation.

Services are delivered free of charge to qualifying beneficiaries. The organization's underlying technology is non-proprietary social services delivery — case management, housing placement, life-skills education, and job-training coordination — with no disclosed AI, platform, or software product. Annual impact includes 651 program participants served, 334 children helped, 200 families served at the Emmanuel Community Care Center, and 663 volunteer hours logged.

The business model is diversified nonprofit fundraising: individual donations via direct mail and online giving, corporate sponsorships and tiered events (e.g., Topgolf Outing with sponsorships from $100 to $2,500), recurring foundation grants from more than 15 institutional partners (Nord Family Foundation, Akron Community Foundation, PNC Charitable Trusts, Youngstown Foundation, Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, etc.), and the affiliated HMH Foundation fundraising corporation. A visible in-year thermometer shows $190,100 raised against a $391,400 campaign goal. HMHI holds CARF International accreditation, GuideStar Platinum Seal, BBB Accredited Charity status, and a Charity Navigator three-star rating. The organization is governed by a board chaired by Gerald Skully with Fred Berry as President (Ex Officio); Fred Berry is also the primary public contact ([email protected]).
