Overview

Mission

Community partners for affordable housing's (cpah) mission is to develop affordable housing and provide services that empower individuals and families to secure and retain quality housing.

What it reported doing in 2024

Acquire, build, own, rehab, operate, and lease community integrated living arrangements for persons with developmental disabilities throughout the chicago metropolitan statistical area, under a single member limited liability company named lcrdc-cilas, llc, which is 100% owned by cpah.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
