What it reported doing in 2024
Inpatient, outpatient and reintegration program - Joseph House provides the onlycomprehensive 12-month treatment program in the United States devoted to veterans.Our program focused on recidivism in the last few years. We had a less than 3%negative relapse rate in this fiscal year. Over 58% of our clients completedthe program and less than 1% were in the program for over a year, as this is an expectation of the VA GP program. We continue to provide innovative therapy for our clients, including art and yoga.During this fiscal year, a total of 13,929 days of treatment were provided. Outpatient and reintegration program - This is a 6-8 month clinical support program directed at the residents who have completed the in-patient program and need to begin the process of independent living. The clinical counselors use the Matrix Model of Outpatient Treatment. Over the past year 73 residents have moved out of the Joseph House to a successful, permanent housing living environment. 104 residents have improved their income through employment or increased benefits.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 72% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
