Overview

Mission

To provide low cost supervised housing for dual diagnosis individuals in the West and East Hawaii areas. Operation of program ceased in May of 2015. Bank account remained open to pay final bills.

What it reported doing in 2014

Alahou's facilities consisted of 19 one and two bedroom furnished apartments in three separate but adjoining buildingsm all located in the West Hawaii area. Tenant living quarters were segregated by gender but tenants shared common areas such as covered lanai and coin operated laundry facility. Residents maintained all the common areas. Volunteer staff work with tenant representatives to facilitate management of apartments. Program assumed by another agency in November 2013 and Alahou's moved operations to the East Hawaii area where they rented a large home with sufficient common areas to facilitate the continuation of the existing program services Staff work with doctors, counselors, social workers, etc. to provide tenants the structured environment they need to live independently. This program has been successful in reducing the number of mentally ill and drug and alcohol dependent adults living on the streets and beaches of West and East Hawaii. Alahou continued to operate program until June of 2015. Operations were taken over by another group and Alahou has liquidated and is closing their organization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
