Overview

Mission

Vocational & educational program

What it reported doing in 2019

Thirteen mentally handicapped adults live in this icf-mr facility. It is the facility's responsibility to provide for the education, training, and general well-being of those in its charge.

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

SUPPORTED - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
