Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization continued to operate two housing programs - fitts-powell apartments, a fourteen-unit apartment complex, and new blevins, a six-bedroom shared living home. The day-to-day operations of acra are provided by one full time and one part time employee. The organization continued its collaboration with the wake county health and human services by providing shelter to a homeless plwha. The organization also continued to receive food support and household supplies from first calvary baptist church, white rock baptist church, and the alliance of AIDS services. The organization provided housing and supportive services for 24 households.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
