Overview
Mission
Our mission is to provide a pathway to homeownership for pregnant and recently postpartum mothers experiencing homelessness.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization's 1st program is a temporary housing program designed to assist new mothers experiencing homelessness. Those assisted receive housing, prenatal care, and education, setting them on a path to personal homeownership in early motherhood.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
