Overview

Mission

The corporation was organized exclusively to develop, own, and operate a low-income housing project on a nonprofit basis pursuant to article xi of the private housing finance law of the state of New York.

What it reported doing in 2023

To provide housing for low income elderly individuals. Federally subsidized under section 202 direct loan program. There are 32 apartment units.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
