Overview

Mission

Low income community development and reduction of poverty.

What it reported doing in 2025

We are near the end of renovating a total of 60 homes for low income people. Thus far we have replaced 44 full roofs, 96 windows, 5 attic insulations, 23 new porch constructions, 2 door replacements, 1 major plumbing repair and 3 sheetrock repairs. One home had the floor and sub-floor replaced. Officers time is on a volunteer basis and the entity incurs no salary expense. Expenses consisted solely of donations and payments to contractors for roof replacement, window replacement or floors on the homes of people meeting the definition of "low income" in their respective geocode. One volunteer receives some income as contract labor for his services on a part time basis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

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