Overview

Mission

Provide social/charitable services

What it reported doing in 2024

Homeless services - the homeless services program (f.k.a. St. Sebastian veteran services and genesis homeless services) serves those experiencing homelessness, including homeless veterans, individuals, and families (along with those at risk of homelessness) with permanent housing. Services often begin with hospitality and outreach, whereby people experiencing homelessness are connected with a meal, resources, case management, employment, and access to health services. Through a network of therapeutic and supportive services, clients are provided with the tools necessary to find gainful employment, permanent housing and the ability to make healthier long-term choices.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
