Overview

Mission

To provide specialized residential services to mentally ill and disabled individuals in order to assist each person to meet personal goals by providing the highest quality services that are unique to each person's wishes, needs, and desires.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of residential care facilities for mentally ill and disabled individuals. Contracts are with various county community mental health agencies, which are local governmental entities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
