Overview

Mission

To provide furniture and furnishings for a dignified home to families transitioning into independent living

What it reported doing in 2024

Focus on home fills a void in central Oklahoma by providing donated, repurposed furniture to deserving families who struggle to create a livable home due to a lack of resources. The families assisted by focus on home were referred by partner agencies who know the families and have documented their needs. The families we serve face a variety of challenges. Focus on home provides the furniture items that each family needs, but the program goes far beyond filling furniture gaps; we create comfortabe homes where families can live, love and grow strong, allowing parents to devote their time and resources into creating positive futures for their children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 60% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
