Overview

Mission

Our mission at the janzen house is to provide transitional housing and shelter for low income and homeless individuals. With the cooperation of other local agencies we are also able to assist residents in securing employment, permanent housing, etc.

What it reported doing in 2024

The janzen house rents rooms and provides board for 25 guests at a nominal rate. We also have 6 to 8 beds in an emergency shelter that are occupied on a night to night basis. Since we began operations in 1984, we have provided more 300,000 nights of shelter.

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 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
