Overview
Mission
To build, heal, and restore healthy lives as well as foster healthy life choices
What it reported doing in 2024
We actively curated our relationships with our community partners, their staff, and residents: Episcopal Community Services, Mental Health Systems Action East and Action Central, and the County of San Diego Health and Human Services. We partnered with Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) working with mental health services. We continued our life skills, and vocational preparation services as well as assisting formerly incarcerating individuals into securing food sources, government Ids, medical services, and generally assimilating back into the general population. We began working with service animals for trauma survivors. We maintained occupancy of our homes at 87% while continuing to keep housing costs well below the National average to offset inflation increases. Additionally, we covered the housing costs for our residents affected by their State funding and local agencies whos budgets were cut in the third quarter of 024 as well as helping residents to secure funding through solvent programs. Initiated plans for an 18 bed facility with an anticipated build out and completion in the 2nd half of 026. We will donate 2 beds to attendees of the Sand Diego City College drug and rehab counselor training. We maintained our active presence with Homeless Court, Mental Health, Grief, and Loss support services and referrals as well. We supported local organizations and causes such as Teen Challenge, Mc McAlister Institute Walk for Sobriety, and raising awareness of opioid addiction in San Diego County. Maintained our relationship with CPS to allow children to stay with their parents for overnights under our supervision. We provided live and online courses on health and nutrition and expanded our online offerings to focus on health food prep, and instructor training.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 81% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
