Overview

Mission

Changing lives by providing help, hope and opportunity to the most vulnerable New Yorkers.

What it reported doing in 2024

118 east 111th street corporation (the "entity") is a New York not-for-profit corporation organized in march 1994 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and operating housing and related facilities which consist of 20 units located in New York, New York for persons with disabilities. The entity received assistance under provisions of section 811 of the national affordable housing act. Such entities are regulated by the u.s. Department of housing and urban development ("hud") as to rent charges and operating methods.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 80% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
