Overview

Mission

To create decent and affordable housing for those in need and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience with people everywhere.

What it reported doing in 2019

During the year the group worked with homeowners who needed help with repairs and sold one home to a family in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
