Overview

Mission

Recognizing that we are all created in god's image, our mission is to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in reaching their greatest level of independence in a caring community of respect, dignity and partnership.

What it reported doing in 2024

Filling homes is a faith-based social ministry organization which provides a full range of habilitation, residential, theraputic, health, and spiritual care services for children and adults with developmental disabilities, specializing in individuals with a high level of medical acuity. At filling homes we strive to nurture the whole person by tailoring our services to meet a person's distinct individual needs, requirements, and personal choices. Filling homes is committed to providing services of the highest quality that will ensure a person's health, safety, and well-being. While the main campus is located in a rural setting south of napoleon, Ohio, filling homes' residents come from across the country and are served in other group homes and individual living sites throughout northwest Ohio. The licensed adult day programming center provides educational and vocation services. The wellness activity center hosts an array of therapies including aquatic, recreational, speech, physical, and occupational, all done by licensed therapy specialists. Regular worship services, bible studies, and pastoral services are available from the agency's full-time chaplain.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
