Overview

Mission

Provide family-centered transitional care for kids in crisis.

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025, we achieved 3 major milestones which were (a) obtaining our license to operate in the State of Texas, (b) hiring employees and (c) entering into contracts with Single Source Continuum Contractors (SSCC) which coordinate placement for the children in the foster system and welcoming our first boy to J's House in late December. All costs prior to welcoming our first boy and becoming operational in late December were related to preparing for opening and achieving these milestones. We do not allocate expenses to specific milestones.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
