Overview

Mission

Operating on christian principles, we are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally through constructing and rehabilitating homes for families that qualify for our zero-interest mortgage. We were founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all

What it reported doing in 2024

Restore is a community thrift store operated by the organization to fund the construction and rehabilitation of homes in the program. Cost of goods sold not included in expenses above totaled $269,287 which is comprised of donated inventory valued at fair market value on date sold.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
