Overview

Mission

Provides living assistance for the mentally challenged in a safe environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided housing for 24 mentally challenged individuals during 2024. Seven participants graduated from our facility to live independently. 10 participants were considered homeless and were able to adjust to the blended family environment by taking on responsibilities of running a house in preparation to live independently. Eight participants evaluated the facility as the best group home that they have ever lived in. Six participants can identify the medications they take and what they are used for as well as when to take the medication. This is a vital step in preparation for discharge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 73% 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.

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 voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
