Overview

Mission

To empower the vulnerable populations in the state of Maryland to discover their unique purpose and equip them with tools to succeed.

What it reported doing in 2024

Transitional Housing Program - The goal of the program is to promote independent living for eligible participants. We serve returning citizens, women fleeing domestic violence, veterans and LGBTQ and transitional aged youth who are over 18. In 2024, we provided transitional housing for 13 eligible unaccompanied participants. Support services provided: Long-term residency, case management, personal development, behavioral and mental health services, life skills, work readiness training, financial literacy, spiritual growth, the arts, and after-care to support self-sufficiency.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 72% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
