Overview

Mission

To improve and promote the availability of affordable, professional, service-enriched housing in greater reading and beyond through housing development, property management, consultation, training and education programs, and direct service provision.

What it reported doing in 2025

From january through march 2026, foundation housing & services (fhs) hosted a total of 17 programs in reading housing authority's neighborhood resource center serving residents of oakbrook and the surrounding communities. These programs were organized into five key categories: youth engagement, education, community engagement, health education, and safety. Programming included high school equivalency (hiset) preparation, english as a second language (esl) classes, behavioral health services, medical services, bingo, healthy cooking classes, safety training, stem programming, and coffee with cops. Together, these initiatives served 201 unduplicated participants, providing residents with educational opportunities, health resources, and meaningful community engagement. In addition to these programs, the food pantry increased the number of days per month to two days and during this span served approximately 1,000 individuals during the same three-month period, helping to address food insecurity and provide essential support to residents and families throughout the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
