Overview
Mission
Kan-win's mission is to eradicate all forms of violence against women, including domestic violence and sexual assault, by empowering asian american survivors and engaging the community through culturally competent services, community education and outreach, and advocacy.
What it reported doing in 2024
The goal of the transitional housing program is to provide subsidized, long-term housing and comprehensive case management to asian immigrant victims of domestic violence. Our transitional housing (th) program provides critical aid to survivors as they recover and rebuild a solid foundation free from violence. The th program assists survivors with finding and securing safe and affordable housing units, creating budgets, and covering up-front rental expenditures such as security deposits, first months rent, and/or utilities. Survivors who take advantage of the th program develop long-term financial independence and self-sufficiency by maximizing kan-wins long-term empowerment programs and other wraparound service plans. Kan-wins th program offers subsidized housing so our clients can select the neighborhood that they want to live in. The th program coordinator works with clients to assess housing options after deciding on their ideal location. She conducts in-depth inspections, guides them through the application and screening processes, and speaks with landlords about the survivors particular needs to help them resolve any credit or documentation problems. The program coordinator also travels with survivors to utility offices, public benefit offices, schools, and other locations where they may require advocacy or interpretation to apply for additional aid, such as the supplemental nutrition assistance program, and low-income home energy assistance program. Expenditures for clients in the th program include: application fees, moving costs, utility bills, and rent costs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 76% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
