Overview

Mission

Serve mentally ill & developmentally disabled

What it reported doing in 2024

Community housing - this program is focused on adults, ages 18 and older with a diagnosis of chronic mental illness. Services provided to tenants are living skills training, counseling, case management, psychiatric services, medication monitoring, transportation, representative payee services, and community support. We are able to service 26 people in this program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
