Opportunity House faces nonprofit status lawsuit over assets
A five page suit filed on December 21 seeks a declaratory judgment to confirm if Opportunity House operates as a nonprofit and to establish a constructive trust to guard its assets if not tax exempt. Community Foundation claims lack of IRS 990 forms and other documents raises questions about continued nonprofit status. The foundation argues for court action while the charity says there is no actual controversy and accuses the foundation of attempting to seize assets. Attorneys anticipate a Superior Court appearance between June and November.
