Some questions to ask BEFORE you get on the crazy train and support Bill Hanson and
Re-Armor Homes….
** Has a recent 990 for Re Armor Homes been filed, the last reported Form 990 I could find is dated 2011? If so, I suggest that you request a copy and read it before making any donations or offers to support and/or endorse Re-Armor. http://990finder.foundationcenter.org/990results.aspx?990_type=&fn=&st=MN&zp=&ei=270268062&fy=&action=Find
** With such low reported revenue, how could Re Armor afford to purchase and renovate the church? Let alone pay the yearly property taxes that average $4,000.
| ORGANIZATION NAME | STATE | YEAR | FORM | PAGES | TOTAL ASSETS | EIN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Re-Armor Homes | MN | 2011 | 990EZ | 11 | $8,265.00 | 27-0268062 |
| Re-Armor Homes | MN | 2010 | 990 | 25 | $8,422.00 | 27-0268062 |
| Re-Armor Homes | MN | 2009 | 990 | 21 | $13,528.00 | 27-0268062 |
** In 2009, Re Armor received $120k in gifts, grants and contributions. $99k was spent in operating expenses and 15 clients were served. The service provided to the 15 clients was “employment”.
In 2010, $1,110 was received, at the same time Re-Armor expanded its services to include “TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT TO FELONS TRANSITIONING FROM PRISONS, MISSION ORGANIZATION’S JAILS, TREATMENT, AND HOMELESSNESS, TEACHING THE WAY TO BECOME A MISSION SUCCESSFUL, SOBER, HONEST, PRODUCTIVE AND CRIME-FREE MEMBER OF SOCIETY BY
PRESENTING CHRISTIAN VALUES AND GUIDANCE”
If the mission of Re Armor is to provide housing to felons, wouldn’t it make more sense to buy an apartment or appropriate housing facility and NOT a church?
** And in 2011, there were zero grants and contributions received. As a functioning non-profit, isn’t it important to do fundraising? Especially when you are going to purchase property?
** And how can Re-Armor Homes function with the budget dropping so drastically it cannot even meet the operating expenses of the previous years??
** If you read the 2011 Form 990, it says that Re Armor received a loan of $8,293 from “The Blessed Man” Bill Hanson, and that there was no written agreement for this loan. $1,752 is still owed. This loan equals the net assets for the entire year of Re-Armor Homes, and yet that same year a church building was purchased.
Why wasn’t a loan agreement written and recorded?
** Why are donations NOT showing up on the 2010 Form 990 when these donations would be needed to make the purchase in 2011?? Contributions and grants are recorded as $1,100 with $5,700 in expenses. The bulk of expenses – $3,200 – is spent on travel. Shouldn’t those expenses be spent on the clients?
