Overview

Mission

Housing for low income families located in san francisco, ca.

What it reported doing in 2025

Casa de la raza, inc. Is a low income rental housing project with 51 units consisting of one, two and three bedrooms.

Parking for residents is also available along with a laundry room holding washers and dryers. A child play lot is also on site.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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 - 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
