Overview

Mission

A place-2-live provides housing acquisition opportunities and counseling for individuals and families in need.

What it reported doing in 2025

A place-2-live assisted families and individuals in financial need with finding and obtaining appropriate housing and provided counseling and educational seminars to assist tenants to remain in the housing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
