Return Reference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 1	WHAT GOOD COUNSEL MEANS GOOD COUNSEL MEANS THE LOVE OF CHRIST URGES US ON TO DO MORE. FR. BENEDICT GROESCHEL, CFR, CO-FOUNDER OF GOOD COUNSEL HOMES, WROTE, "IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE MOST POWERFUL REFORM MOVEMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH HAVE BEEN LINKED DIRECTLY TO AGAPE IN ITS MANY FORMS. . . . THE CARE OF THE POOR AND THE DESTITUTE. . . . YOU FIND A PERSON SEEKING TO LOVE GOD AND NEIGHBOR WITHOUT REGARD TO PERSONAL FULFILLMENT OR NEED. YOU FIND THOSE WHO HAVE PUT THEIR EGO NEEDS, EVEN LEGITIMATE ONES, BEHIND THEM, AND WHO STRIVE, PERHAPS WITH ONLY MODERATE SUCCESS, TO FOLLOW THE POWERFUL PSYCHOLOGICAL INSIGHT OF SAINT PAUL: CARITAS CHRISTI URGET NOS (THE LOVE OF CHRIST IMPELS US ON) 2 CORINTHIANS 5:14." RARE AMONG MATERNITY HOMES THROUGHOUT THE USA, GOOD COUNSEL TAKES IN ANY PREGNANT MOM IN NEED, WHETHER SHE HAS OTHER LIVING CHILDREN OR SHE IS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES OR A DRUG PROBLEM. THERE SIMPLY ARE NOT ENOUGH MATERNITY HOMES, FEW SECULAR AND NOT ENOUGH FAITH-BASED HOMES, TO MEET THE VARIED AND COMPLICATED NEEDS OF WOMEN WHO ARE IN A CRISIS PREGNANCY. GOOD COUNSEL STATISTICS TELL A WIDER STORY GOOD COUNSEL MEANS CONCRETE HELP AND REAL HOPE FOR MOTHERS IN NEED AND BABIES BEFORE AND AFTER BIRTH. SINCE 1985 MORE THAN 7,800 WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE SPENT SOME 758,000 NIGHTS OF SAFETY IN A GOOD COUNSEL HOME. GOOD COUNSEL MEANS A VOICE OF CONSOLATION, GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT. DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR OF 2018 MORE THAN 4,000 CALLS AND EMAILS WERE HEARD OR READ ASKING FOR HELP DURING A CRISIS PREGNANCY. GOOD COUNSEL'S NATIONAL HELPLINE 1.800.723.8331 AND WEBSITE WWW.GOODCOUNSELHOMES.ORG PICKED UP MORE THAN 40,000 CALLS AND E-MAILS SINCE BEGINNING OPERATIONS DURING APRIL 1996. DURING 2018 THERE WERE 4,358 REQUESTS WITH SOME CALLERS SIMPLY ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES, OTHER CALLERS WERE WOMEN IN CRISIS PREGNANCIES AND SOME SIMPLE, HEARTBREAKING EMAILS READING, "I'M 19 PREGNANT NEED HELP." GOOD COUNSEL IS A WORD OF THANKS. ONE VERY SPECIAL CALL OF THANKS CAME DURING 2018 FROM SHANIKA DAWSON WHO WAS AT GOOD COUNSEL 17 YEARS BEFORE. "I WAS TROUBLE," SHE REMINDED GOOD COUNSEL'S PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER, CHRISTOPHER BELL. "BUT YOUR STAFF STOOD BY ME." TODAY SHE'S WORKING FOR A CHARITY IN THE BRONX AND WHEN A HOMELESS MOTHER COMES TO HER SHE CONFIDENTLY REFERS HER TO THE GOOD COUNSEL HOME WHERE SHE LIVED. "I TELL THE GIRLS TO LISTEN TO YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL HELP THEM. BUT I KNOW THAT IF THEY DON'T LISTEN, YOUR STAFF WILL STILL BE THERE FOR THEM." SHANIKA SHARED HER STORY IN A NATIONAL NEWSPAPER AT WWW.OSVNEWS.COM/2018/11/13/MATERNITY-HOMES-SEEK-TO-EMPOWER-WOMEN/. GOOD COUNSEL MEANS, "IF YOU'RE PREGNANT AND NEED A PLACE TO STAY, YOU'RE WELCOMED WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN." EVEN IF ALL THE GOOD COUNSEL HOMES HAVE EVERY BED OCCUPIED, AND DURING 2018 THE OCCUPANCY RATE WAS 100%, IF A PREGNANT MOM IS IN NEED AND CALLS, GOOD COUNSEL STAFF WILL FIND ROOM FOR HER ON A COUCH IN THE LIVING ROOM, A COT IN THE OFFICE, OR EVEN IN THE CHAPEL. GOOD COUNSEL IS HELPING OTHERS HELP MORE MOTHERS AND BABIES. DURING THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS, 2017 AND 2018, GOOD COUNSEL ASSISTED TWO OTHER MATERNITY HOMES. MARY'S SHELTER IN ALABAMA WAS ONE AND MALTA HOUSE IN CONNECTICUT WAS THE OTHER. THOSE HOMES WERE HELPED WITH PROGRAMMATIC AND FUND RAISING ASSISTANCE. THEY ARE BOTH STRONGER NOW AND OPERATING INDEPENDENTLY AGAIN. GOOD COUNSEL HAS GROWN TO HELP MANY PEOPLE BEYOND ITSELF SINCE 1985, GOOD COUNSEL HAS HELPED OPEN 9 HOMES IN 8 STATES TO SERVE WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND ASSISTED, ON A CONSULTING BASIS, WITH MANY OTHER MATERNITY HOMES IN DIFFERENT STATES. GOOD COUNSEL'S MISSION TO SERVE HOMELESS SINGLE PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN BEGAN WHEN FR. BENEDICT GROESCHEL, CFR, AND CHRISTOPHER BELL, SAW THE NEED AND OPENED A RESIDENCE IN A FORMER CONVENT IN HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY. MORE THAN 1,166 BABIES HAVE BEEN BORN TO GOOD COUNSEL MOTHERS SINCE THAT FIRST HOME OPENED. DURING 2018, THERE WERE 51 BABIES BORN TO MOTHERS LIVING INSIDE A GOOD COUNSEL HOME. CURRENTLY GOOD COUNSEL OPERATES FIVE HOMES, FOUR IN THE NEW YORK CITY GREATER METROPOLITAN AREA AND ONE OUTSIDE CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY. IDEALLY, MOTHERS STAY AT THE HOME FOR UP TO A YEAR, IN ORDER TO REAP THE MAXIMUM BENEFITS OF LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM. STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS TEACH THESE PROGRAM COURSES, WHICH FOCUS ON NUTRITION, SPIRITUALITY, HEALTH AND CHASTITY, SOCIAL SKILLS, COMPUTER EDUCATION AND MORE. ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN IN PARENTING, JOB SKILLS, CAREER PLACEMENT AND PERSONAL BUDGETING. GOOD COUNSEL MEANS EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE. EACH HOME PROVIDES A SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH MOTHER AND CHILD. FREE BABYSITTING IS AFFORDED MOTHERS TO HELP THEM GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND TO WORK. AS MOTHERS MOVE INTO THEIR OWN APARTMENTS OR HOMES GOOD COUNSEL STAFF STAY IN TOUCH THROUGH THE EXODUS PROGRAM, WHERE FORMER RESIDENTS RECEIVE MATERIAL ASSISTANCE AND ON-GOING COUNSELING TO EASE THE DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENT LIVING. GOOD COUNSEL STAFF HAS ASSISTED HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES THROUGH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM DURING 2018. GOOD COUNSEL ALSO MEANS HOPE AND HEALING AFTER AN ABORTION. THROUGH THE MANY PAINFUL EXPERIENCES OF GOOD COUNSEL MOTHERS, A POST-ABORTION COUNSELING AND REFERRAL NETWORK BEGAN AND IS CALLED LUMINA. LUMINA, WHICH MEANS LIGHT, NOT ONLY HELPS WOMEN AT GOOD COUNSEL AND BEYOND, BUT ALSO MEN AND SIBLINGS OF ABORTED CHILDREN WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM THE PAIN OF LOSING A SON, A DAUGHTER, A SISTER OR A BROTHER. THIS NATIONAL, CONFIDENTIAL COUNSELING IS AVAILABLE THROUGH LUMINA'S TOLL-FREE HELPLINE 1.877.586.4621, OR FOR INFORMATION VISIT WWW.POSTABORTIONHELP.ORG. GOOD COUNSEL IS WORKING WITH OTHERS TO FORM STRONGER SYSTEMS. EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO, GOOD COUNSEL WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE PREGNANCY SERVICES NETWORK OF GREATER NEW YORK, A COALITION OF MATERNITY HOMES AND PREGNANCY CENTERS IN THE AREA. SEVEN YEARS AGO, GOOD COUNSEL HELPED TO FORM THE NATIONAL MATERNITY HOUSING COALITION, A GROUP OF THREE DOZEN MATERNITY HOMES THROUGHOUT THE U.S.. TODAY, MORE THAN 100 MATERNITY HOMES BELONG TO THIS COALITION. GOOD COUNSEL IS BLESSED WITH THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS, 12,720 WHO GAVE FINANCIALLY LAST YEAR, ALL PART OF THE GOOD COUNSEL FAMILY WHERE WE STRIVE TO ALLOW CARITAS CHRISTI URGET NOS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	GOOD COUNSEL RECOGNIZES THE DIGNITY OF GOD-GIVEN LIFE FROM THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION, FOSTERING A NURTURING, SAFE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT, ENCOURAGING SELF-RESPECT AND INDEPENDENCE FOR PREGNANT MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN IN A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF ALL FAITHS AND BELIEFS. EVERY WOMAN WHO ENTERS A GOOD COUNSEL HOME IS SEEN AS A UNIQUELY CREATED INDIVIDUAL, WITH HER OWN SET OF UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IS TREATED SPECIAL AND NOT AS IF SHE BELONGS TO A MONOLITHIC CULTURE. DANIELLE-A 24-YEAR OLD PREGNANT WOMAN FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK-ARRIVED AT GOOD COUNSEL WITH HER TWO OTHER CHILDREN, AGED TWO AND FOUR YEARS OLD. SHE NEVER FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL AND HAD DIFFICULTY FINDING EMPLOYMENT. CLEARLY DANIELLE'S PLAN AND STAY IS DIFFERENT THAN A PREGNANT WOMAN WHO WOULD ARRIVE WITH NO CHILDREN AND WHO HAD COMPLETED HER EDUCATIONAL GOALS. GOOD COUNSEL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS NEVER ASSUME THAT ALL WOMEN ENTERING THE PROGRAM ARE ALIKE AND THAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE HANDLED EXACTLY THE SAME. IN TRUTH, SINCE EVERYONE ENTERING IS UNIQUE, GOOD COUNSEL MUST BE EXTRA COGNIZANT OF EACH PERSON'S INDIVIDUAL GIFTS, TALENTS AND STRUGGLES SO THAT MORE ACCURATE GOALS AND ASSESSMENTS CAN BE DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO HELP THE MOTHERS AND CHILDREN RESIDING IN EACH HOME.

	SHELTER: GOOD COUNSEL OPERATES FROM A POLICY OF OPEN INTAKE WHICH MEANS WE ACCEPT HOMELESS PREGNANT WOMEN TO OUR PROGRAM 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS, UNLESS THEY ARE ACTIVELY HOMICIDAL OR SUICIDAL, IN WHICH CASE WE WOULD ARRANGE FOR APPROPRIATE TREATMENT. AFTER THEY ARE STABILIZED, THE WOMEN ENTER OUR PROGRAM. THE MOTHERS WHO COME TO GOOD COUNSEL ARE SERVED THROUGH SEVEN LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND TWO RECENTLY ADDED HOMES, IN ALABAMA AND CONNECTICUT. IN CALENDAR YEAR 2018 GOOD COUNSEL SERVED 239 UNDUPLICATED MOTHERS, 128 UNDUPLICATED CHILDREN, AND ENABLED 68 UNDUPLICATED WOMEN TO GIVE BIRTH. (CON'T ON SCHEDULE O). THE ALABAMA HOME CEASED OPERATIONS IN NOVEMBER, 2018.STUDIES SHOW PREGNANCY RATES AMONG WOMEN IN THE U.S. WHO ARE HOMELESS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN RATES AMONG WOMEN WHO ARE HOUSED. AMONG YOUNG MOTHERS WHO ARE HOMELESS, ONLY HALF REPORTED THAT THEY HELPED TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN CONSISTENTLY OVER TIME, AND ONE-FIFTH OF THE WOMEN REPORTED NEVER SEEING THEIR CHILDREN. THE MISSION OF GOOD COUNSEL IS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE HOMELESS PREGNANT WOMEN WHO COME TO US, TO GIVE BIRTH IN A SAFE AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT, LEARN THE NECESSARY PARENTING SKILLS, AND GET ASSISTANCE IN MOVING TOWARD INDEPENDENCE.
