Overview
Mission
The organization's primary purpose is to build housing for the physically and mentally disabled.
What it reported doing in 2016
The organization's exempt purpose was on hold due to the illness of two board members in prior years and the organization is seeking dissolution the board will be distributing the remaining funds after expenses of closing to nonprofit organizations with the same purpose and goals.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
