Overview

Mission

Operation of day and medical day centers, residential homes with a personal atmosphere and expanded employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Residential - operation of more than 52 residential homes servicing approximately 169 people supported located in Washington county. The services delivered at these sites are designed to meet the needs of those seeking community placement opportunities. Homes are staffed, equipped and situated in such a way that they provide all the necessary supports for persons served to lead successful and fulfilling lives in their local community. Persons supported have access to nurses, pysch associates and maintenance crews around the clock.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
