Overview
Mission
Do Good Multnomah serves houseless and at-risk Veterans in Portland, Oregon, by providing low-barrier shelter, permanent housing, and supportive services with an inclusive, trauma-informed approach.
What it reported doing in 2024
Assisted in addressing barriers to housing with direct client assistance and identified voucher options and low-income subsidized apartments to place participants in on a permanent basis. Between these programs we saw 556 successful placements out of shelter and into housing or the next best fit for the participant. We also supported 598 participants with client assistance to reduce barriers to housing.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 94% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
