Overview

Mission

To improve the quality of family and community life by developing, providing, and managing low-cost affordable housing that is affordable and delivering support services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Providing consulting services, grant writing, program development, and housing development and assistance to non-profits, governmental agencies, and community organizations. Providing direct assistance to low income households, housing to low income and special-needs households, and other support services.

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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
