Overview

Mission

Intend Indiana connects people to opportunity and advances collaborative community development through equitable financing and housing solutions.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, affordable homematters invested $6,175,230.82 in affordable housing development, awarding 30 construction contracts. The program completed 20 new construction homes and rehabilitated 10 single-family residences, serving 30 homebuyers in designated opportunity areas. Of those served, 28 households earned at or below 80% of the area median income (ami) and 2 households earned between 80 and 120% ami.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and expenses are high relative to revenue.
