Overview

Mission

This property has a commitment to serve the elderly through affordable housing and makes every effort to provide an environment conducive to the well being of the person.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization operates a 10-unit apartment complex for the elderly with rental assistance provided by hud based on income level.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
