Overview

Mission

Housing Options and Geriatric Association Resources, Inc. (H.O.G.A.R.) was incorporated in March 1996 to assist society’s most disenfranchised; the elderly, seriously mentally ill adults, the homeless, adults living with Special Needs and the physically challenged by promoting, fostering and providing the highest quality of housing and services in a most therapeutic, rehabilitative and aesthetically satisfying environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

12-bed congregate treatment program (supervised community residence) that is designed for monolingual and bilingual Spanish patients at Bronx Psychiatric Center who are discharge ready. The program is designed for individuals that are diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness. It provides residential services that support and assist residents with their goal of integration into the community. The program has a rehabilitative focus and is responsible for referring residents to services that are consistent with their desire, needs, tolerance and capability to participate in such services. The rehabilitative focus of the congregate treatment program provides for improved resident independence: choices and outcomes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 99% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filed totals do not add up.
