Overview
Mission
We create cottage communities on faith-based land to serve families in crisis. The families we serve are working families. They have a history of working but are now facing housing instability. We partner with churches and service providers to offer holistic support for up to 24 months, providing safety, dignity and a real path forward. Our work bridges the gap between emergency shelter and long-term housing with a collaborative, community-rooted approach.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
