Overview

Mission

The corporation is organized exclusively for the charitable and educational purpose of empowering the homeless with housing, rehabilitation andtransition services to overcome their circumstances and become employed and become contributing citizens to society and share with the world.

What it reported doing in 2020

Street outreach - weekly excursions to give out necessities, such as food, clothing, shoes, personal hygiene products, etc, to the homeless in indianapolis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
