Overview

Mission

California community opportunities' primary purpose is to support individuals with developmental disabilities to lead safe, successful, enriching lives in their local communities and homes. Cco's philosophy and core values reflect a commitment to human dignity, an exceptional quality of life, ongoing growth and learning, individual and legal rights, and a spirit of energy, hope, and determination.

What it reported doing in 2024

Residential - we housed 30 individuals, 3 to a home, in 10 homes. Created a home environment in which the clients of the homes can feel safe and comfortable. Housed 2 individuals, in each of 5 homes, in personal homes of extended family teachers (eft).

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
