Overview
Mission
To dramatically reduce reincarceration rates by precisely executing our holistic, integrated, evidence-informed re-entry program.
What it reported doing in 2024
The community & life skills program encompasses five services: housing assistance, legal services, family reunification, community involvement and spiritual support. This includes all participant case management, life skills and other curriculum, and all services which directly connect participants with resources available in their community. Cls assistance includes medical and dental appointments, assistance securing state identification and drivers licenses, assistance with social security and ebt applications, and connection to housing resources and food pantries.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
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.
