Overview

Mission

Crisis resolution for clients by advice and negotiation on their behalf at no charge to clients.

What it reported doing in 2024

During the fiscal year ended 6/30/25 we assisted 825 individuals and families. 56% of those served had some form of disability. 57% of those served had incomes under $10,000 while 80% of those served had incomes under $20,000. Among other accomplishments, averted many power and utility shut-offs and evictions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
