What it reported doing in 2020

The Life House Maternity Home is a non-profit ministry that values life from conception and we are committed to providing Help and Hope to women who has courageously chosen life for her baby by providing a residential program in a positive, Christian living environment. The Life House provides safe housing, educational assistance and life skills training. Life House as a Woman's shelter was a change from the maternity home, however, still serving women and women with children and inclusive of women who are pregnant.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 75% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
