Overview

Mission

Maisies place provides one-on-one personalized supportive services to the developmentally disabled who choose to live at home. We partner with our clients to enable them to participate in all aspects of their community and lead meaningful lives centered around independence and empowerment.

What it reported doing in 2025

The state sets a goal of five clients within the first calendar year for the newly vendorized supported living services agency. This allows the agency to absorb each client and their staff of six in a constructive and efficient manner for both client and agency. In addition to assisting five wonderful people escape the institutional care setting for their own home, we trained 24 staff on state and regional center regulations. The clients, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, were referred to us to secure a home for each person so they could live on their own with the support of 24/7 staff provided by maisies place.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
