Overview

Mission

To establish and maintain a facility to care for, educate, and vocationally train boys who manifest emotional-behavioral problems and social-learning problems, and who are placed with the facility by the Oregon youth authority of the state of Oregon.

What it reported doing in 2014

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
