Overview

Mission

Bscd properties, inc. Was created for the purpose of soliciting, receiving, and maintaining a fund or funds of real and personal property to support and advance the work of claratel behavioral health, formerly known as dekalb community service board, an agency and instrumentality of the state of Georgia. To this end, bscd is organized exclusively for charitable purposes.

What it reported doing in 2024

In march 2012, bscd properties received donations of five single-family residential properties from two not-fot-profit organizations. Beginning in april of 2012, bscd properties provided the residential properties to claratel behavioral health ("claratel"), formerly known as dekalb community service board, as residences for developmental-disabled clients. The monthly rental terms for the properties remained the same as had been contracted between claratel and the donor entities. Claratel provided programs and services to the developmentally disabled adults. The agency operates day programs that offer work activities, day rehabilitation, physical therapy and community access activities. The agency also operates a residential program for its clients. Bscd maintains and operates the residential homes in support of claratel programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
