Overview

Mission

Non-profit corporation providing healthcare to the homeless.

What it reported doing in 2024

Services offered included primary medical care, healthcare education, outreach healthcare services, comprehensive dental, podiatry care, vision and ophthalmic services, pharmaceutical services, psychiatry and behavioral health counseling, as well as screenings for tb, stis, and HIV. Hhh also provided immunizations, information referrals, and wraparound social services within permanent supportive housing programs, addressing a range of chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and mental health disorders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 60% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
