Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to educate and empower low-income tenants in the cities of Hudson and Catskill, New York, to address the social, racial and housing issues within their community with the help of their larger community.

What it reported doing in 2023

Conferences, conventions, and meetings - This includes money spent for our community events and conferences related to educating people about their rights related to housing. It also includes events held educating people on the Clean Slate Act of New York and how it can improve the negative effects related to housing. This also includes resources used to help create a Tenants' Hotline that provides free advice and access to resources to prevent homelessness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
