Overview

Mission

CRi is dedicated to providing personalized resources to youth and adults with mental health needs and/or intellectual/developmental disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Residences offers a wide variety of services and activities to individuals with intellectual disabilities. These individuals are supported in community residences' neighborhood homes. Every home is located within reasonable access to shopping, recreational, social, cultural and religious activities; health care facilities, transportation and vocational opportunities are also available. All services are flexible and responsive to the person supported and these individuals are fully integrated into community life. Each person's service plan is different. Services and activities may include life skills, education and coaching, support with daily living skills, medical/clinical coordination and oversight. Psycho educational counseling, positive behavioral and crisis support, recreation and leisure activities, transportation and resource and benefits coordination are services that are also available. Community Residences provides services for individuals with mental health diagnoses who reside in a community residences home, and also serves individuals who live in the community. All community residences homes are located in neighborhoods that are close to shopping, public transportation, and social, recreational, and cultural activities. Community services are designed to promote community tenure, to prevent homelessness, hospitalization, incarceration through learning skills, and to develop natural supports. These services reflect the belief that individuals can grow, change and recover from the symptoms of mental illness and can live more independently in the community of their choosing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
