Housing and disability support
The financial report for the year ended 31 December 2005 describes Project Matthew as the corporation’s supportive service programmes. It identifies advocacy and housing case management for people with disabilities as central activities. Its community board brought together medical, pastoral, financial, civic and supportive-service perspectives.
The report documents a nonprofit organization receiving public funding through Louisiana health agencies. These financial statements describe the organization and its work in that reporting period; they do not establish its present funding or legal arrangements.

Community housing and referral work
Lake Charles’s 2005–2009 Consolidated Plan placed Matthew 25:40 within the local network supporting housing for people with disabilities. The plan described referrals and screening involving supportive-service agencies and the housing authority, connecting housing assistance with other forms of support.
The Families Helping Families guide dated 8 August 2012 listed Matthew 25:40 together with the name Nepenthe House. It described services for men living with AIDS or recovering from alcohol or drug use and specified referrals through agencies. This is a dated programme connection, not evidence that Nepenthe House was a separate successor organization. Current intake arrangements and an organization-controlled website have not been confirmed.
