Overview
Mission
Friends of the Unsheltered advocates for ending homelessness . With partners, we are working to provide a welcoming community where people can find a safe place to be comfortable and to help them transition toward self-sufficiency at their own pace.
What it reported doing in 2024
Friends of the Unsheltered provides transitional housing (commonly referred to as three-quarter housing), case management, and emergency financial assistance to individuals moving beyond recovery programs who are not yet ready to move into permanent housing. Program participants typically have a history of substance abuse, incarceration, homelessness, and/or mental health issues. Friends of the Unsheltered also provides education to the wider community on the plight of the unsheltered as well as highlighting solutions to homelessness.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 61% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
