Overview

Mission

Family & community service of Delaware county (fcsdc) is a private, nonprofit, multi-service organization. Our services include outpatient mental health counseling for adults, adolescents, and children; medical case management for individuals living with HIV/AIDS; and housing subsidies and case management support for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to build stronger communities through healthy, empowered individuals and families. To that end, we strive to meet the basic needs of those most vulnerable.

What it reported doing in 2024

Housing services: fcsdc operates four housing subsidy programs: (1) transitional housing / rapid rehousing for adult men experiencing homelessness. Program participants are housed at our ralph moses house (rmh) facility in chester, pa for up to three months. During that time they work with a case manager to obtain affordable housing. During the rapid rehousing portion of the programs, a rental subsidy is provided for up to 24 months while participants build financial independence. During fy2025, 27 men were assisted with transitional housing and rental assistance.(2) transitional housing for families involved with Delaware county's children and youth services. During fy2025, fcsdc's cys transitional housing program provided rental subsidies and case management for 20 households with 31 adults and 45 children.(3) permanent supportive housing for families and (4) permanent supportive housing for chronically-homeless individuals. The psh programs provide rental subsidy and case management services for up to 25 households. During fy2025, 10 households (consisting of 16 adults and 9 children) and 15 chronically-homeless individuals were supported through these two psh programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
