Overview

Mission

Shelter and transitional housing

LA Garden Hostel accommodates travelers at rates lower than any hotel or motel, while offering a homelike comfort where travelers from all around the world and those in between moving can make friends with other travelers. As a non-profit, our mission is to offer a meaningful experience to all of our guests and promote cultural exchange.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
