HOPE Homes - A 27-Unit Modular Casita Community Made Possible Under New SB4 FONTANA, Calif., April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BOXABL, a Las Vegas–based startup revolutionizing the housing industry, has announced an exciting new partnership with Bethel AME Church of Fontana to provide 27 Casita modular homes for the local community. This milestone project is among the first in California to be implemented under the state's groundbreaking Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act (SB4) — a transformative law designed to expedite the development of affordable housing on land owned by faith-based and nonprofit educational institutions.B4 removes long-standing zoning barriers, allowing churches and religious organizations to develop housing solutions more efficiently on their properties. This new legal pathway opened the door for Rev. Terrence D. Sims, pastor of Bethel AME Church of Fontana, to collaborate with BOXABL, utilizing the company's innovative Casita units as a strategic solution for senior affordable housing needs. About the Project The 27 Casita homes—each a compact 361-square-foot unit—will be located at Bethel AME Church, providing convenient access for residents to church services, programs, and community resources. This initiative, HOPE Homes, directly aligns with Bethel's mission of " H elping O ther P eople E verywhere," bringing tangible support to seniors in need of safe, accessible, and dignified housing. This collaboration also reflects BOXABL's belief in the power of mission-driven partnerships. Religious institutions like Bethel Fontana are uniquely positioned to address pressing social challenges, such as housing insecurity. This project serves as a compelling model for faith-based engagement in community development.

(CALIFORNIA) If your nonprofit operates on a calendar fiscal year, May 15th is your deadline to file IRS Form 990 . But don’t stop there. This is the perfect moment to do a full compliance check and ensure your organization is in good standing—especially if you're in California. In addition to the IRS 990, California-based nonprofits should confirm: Statement of Information with the Secretary of State Franchise Tax Board Annual Information Return (Form 199 or 199N) and your state tax exemption status Registration Renewal with the Office of the Attorney General, Registry of Charities and Fundraisers These filings are simple but absolutely critical. Missing them can lead to: Automatic revocation of your 501(c)(3) status Your organization being marked “FTB/SOS Suspended” —a red flag on public records Disqualification from grant funding and loss of the ability to legally conduct business in California The good news? All of this is easy to avoid with proactive attention. To help, Urban Enterprise now offers the 360x366 Compliance Service —a comprehensive compliance checkup that includes basic filings (and a discount on more complex filings, if needed). Don’t let paperwork become a barrier to your impact. Learn more at https://UrbanEnterprise.org/360
