In 2024 greater lakes outreach focused on supporting programs for individuals experiencing homelessness or that have encountered the criminal justice system. Glmh has several programs that utilized evidence-based practices, such as, the felony forensic assertive community treatment (ffact) program, which assists individuals with severe, persistent mental illness who've been charged with a felony, and the jail diversion program, which helps clients who were previously in jail transition into services in the community.

Operating model

Earned-program. 95% 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.
