Overview
Mission
HomeRise develops and manages high quality supportive housing and provides services to individuals, seniors and families experiencing homelessness to help them rise up and rebuild their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.
What it reported doing in 2024
Other program services: we currently own, manage, and/or provide services to 18 permanent supportive housing sites throughout san francisco and 1 transitional age youth site, which collectively housed over 1,500 formerly homeless individuals and families last year. Most chp residents were considered "chronically homeless" (per hud's definition), which means that they were consistently homeless for at least a year, or homeless off and on for the majority of 3 years before they came to us. All of our residents are categorized as "low" to "very low-income", over 80% are persons of color, 34% are seniors, 14% are family units, 46% have a physical disability and 60% report a chronic mental health condition. Despite their many challenges, an amazing 98% of current and former residents are remaining housed and permanently breaking the cycle of homelessness. Together with our supporters, we have shown that a home has the power to stabilize a person's life - helping people to improve their health, cook for their family, find a job, begin paying rent, feel a sense of dignity, and contribute to the community.additionally, because community housing partnership takes a holistic approach to reducing homelessness in san francisco, our work addresses both the immediate need of providing housing and services for individuals who are recovering from homelessness, as well as advocating for changes to laws and public policies in order to address the larger societal and economic root causes of homelessness. Our advocacy efforts use proven, evidence based messaging to show that all sf residents have a connection to, and stake in, the homelessness crisis; how public policies impact homelessness and poverty; and also to explain the collective economic & social benefits of addressing this problem. Staff work alongside resident volunteers who have experienced homelessness themselves and are trained to perform outreach and public speaking. Chp gives our residents a voice to address issues that directly impact their lives.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
