Overview

Mission

To support and assure financial sustainability of catholic community services of the mid-willamette & central coast and its programs, develop and offer affordable housing and develop and maintain facilities to house programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

The affordable housing program is owned and managed by catholic community services foundation and consists of approximately 270 units of affordable and transitional housing. The affordable housing program is operated under the rules and guidance provided by hud home and includes property management, asset management and resident services. Revenue is generated from rental income and subsidies to manage and maintain the properties and provide resident services.

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 88% 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
