Overview
Mission
Carolina hill provides safe and caring emergency shelter and supportive services to homeless families focusing efforts to achieve rapid re-housing and developing skills and resources to maintain it.
What it reported doing in 2024
Carolina hill is a transitional shelter for homeless families. We provide services designed to break the cycle of repeated homelessness experienced by many families. We treat our residents with dignity and respect, without prejudice or judgement. Our caring and committed staff can accommodate families whose members may have special needs (e.g., developmentally disabled or handicapped). Our physical facility and its location are ideal for a shelter program with a fenced yard, recreation building and living spaces ideally suited for larger families who cannot find shelter elsewhere. The average length of stay for a family at carolina hill is three months, during which the parents receive mandatory counseling in order to examine the reasons for their homelessness and to avoid similar situations in the future. The program houses up to 17 families at a time.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 87% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
