Overview

Mission

L'arche cleveland, inc. (l'arche) is a not for profit, incorporated, faith-based community/agency which provides homes and services to adults with developmental disabilities. Individuals with and without developmental disabilities create home and shared life together.

What it reported doing in 2024

All of the core members are in the cuyahoga county board of developmental disabilities (board of ccbdd) system. Medicaid individual options waiver eligibility is necessary as the system of support for the core members. L'arche cleveland is a licensed and accredited medicaid services provider. Two of the homes are licensed by the state through residential facility waiver. Three of the homes are supported living/individual option waiver homes. As with any family, all members are responsible for the group's best well-being. At the heart of the community is the respectful relationship between people who treat each other as equals. Nurturing these relationships allows for personal development and gives people the freedom to be unique whatever their abilities or disabilities. L'arche communities engage in diverse cultures and work together toward a more just, welcoming, and human society. L'arche cleveland is proud of the community which it has developed and grown for more than forty (40) years.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 89% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
