What it reported doing in 2024

Elijah's Men's Home offers a comprehensive rehabilitation program designed to empower clients in their journey towards independent living. A key feature of this initiative is its collaboration with the court system, which allows eligible participants to have their records expunged upon successful completion of the program within six to twelve months. This expungement opportunity has proven beneficial for many graduates, providing them with a fresh start and improved prospects for the future. The program's effectiveness and reputation have led to partnerships with various reputable organizations, including Catholic Charities, Momentum for Mental Health, and Santa Clara County, all of which regularly refer clients to Elijah's Men's Home. This diverse network of referrals underscores the program's credibility and its vital role in the community's support system for individuals seeking rehabilitation and a path to independence.

By combining practical life skills training, legal rehabilitation opportunities, and strong community partnerships, Elijah's Men's Home stands out as a beacon of hope for those seeking to rebuild their lives and achieve lasting independence.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
