Overview

Mission

Low income housing assistance. The organization also provides technical assistance, property management and monitoring services of homeless housing assistance corporation (hhac) properties.

What it reported doing in 2025

Fema, coc/snap, and other various grants assist both low-income and homeless households with emergency intervention funds in the prevention of eviction and utility disconnects, as well as with housing placement assistance. Services also include foreclosure prevention and first-time home buyer assistance.

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 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
