Overview

Mission

We provide interim housing and social services with meaningful activities for people moving from institutions, or otherwise unsheltered, into housing and stability, particularly as alternatives to incarceration.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, the Supportive Living Program provided more than 62,500 bed nights and 187,500 meals to individuals experiencing homelessness. Grant funding supported the addition of a new location offering increased privacy and enhanced services within a structures, trauma-informed environment. Participants received case management services including life-skills development, employment readiness, and benefits advocacy. These services supported financial stability and enabled many individuals to secure housing without long-term reliance on public subsidies, contributing to improved self-sufficiency and reduced system utilization.

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 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
