Overview

Mission

Alliance's work makes it possible for individuals and families to create homes for themselves, regardless of income and background by developing and managing housing that is inclusive, affordable, relational, and flexible. In addition, alliance housing challenges the environment that limits our residents' opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2024

2024/2025 accomplishments: alliance created the opportunity for 417 households to create homes for themselves, regardless of housing and/or criminal history. The average length of stay in alliance housing homes is 2.5 years with more than half of residents transitioning to greater housing stability when they move out. More than half of our residents would be screened out by other landlords. 50% of residents increase their income once housed with alliance, leading to greater long-term stability. Alliance began construction of kyle garden square, a 59-unit permanent supportive housing community in elliot park neighborhood of minneapolis. Construction will be completed in october 2025, with new residents moving in immediately following. Alliance improved building occupancy rates to an average of 95%.

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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
