Overview

Mission

Giving young men a chance to change.

What it reported doing in 2024

The dars, inc. Supervised independent living (sil) program serves clients who have completed substance abuse treatment at manos house or through similar treatment provider but lack appropriate community referral sources. Many clients cannot return home due to families who are neglectful, abusive, incarcerated, or actively abusing illegal drugs or alcohol. While in treatment clients learn the skills necessary to live sober and responsible lives in the community. The 18-bed sil program served approximately 29 adolescent males with substance abuse issues during the reporting period. Of these, 62% successfully completed all aspects of the individualized treatment and were successfully discharged from care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
