Overview

Mission

To assist persons with diabilities and those with age related challenges and to maximize their potential through the comprehensive provision of quality housing and support services.

What it reported doing in 2025

Supportive services for residents such as counseling for substance abuse, nutritional counseling, referrals for psychological and medical case management, and money management services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
