Overview
Mission
To provide low-income adults and families disabled by HIV/AIDS with permanent housing.
What it reported doing in 2025
Christopher housing (the project) is a Washington private nonprofit corporation, organized in 1997 for the purpose of developing and operating an 8-unit scattered site project located in kirkland, renton and kent, Washington. Sound acquired control of the project from building changes on august 1, 2012. The project was formed and operates under section 811 supportive housing for persons with disabilities program. The u.s. Department of housing and urban development (hud) provides funding to develop and subsidize rental housing with the availability of supportive services for very low-income adults with disabilities. Hud regulates such projects as to change or discontinuation of use, rent charges and operating methods. The project also is subject to an 811 project rental assistance contract (prac) agreement with hud, and a significant portion of the project's rental income is received under the 811 prac subsidy program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 86% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
