Overview

Mission

To provide safe, clean, low-income housing to seniors.

What it reported doing in 2024

The corporation operates a 72-unit apartment complex for low income elderly and disabled persons under a regulatory agreement with the u.s. Department of housing and urban development and is also regulated by a section 8 housing assistance payment contract as to rent charges, operating methods and other matters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 97% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
