Overview

Mission

To provide emergency shelter, transitional housing and support services to homeless and/or abused women and their children so they will gain employment and transition.

What it reported doing in 2025

The transitional housing program was established to "bridge" between emergency shelter and permanent housing. Each participant is offered the opportunity to: 1. Increase their income and skill levels 2. Develop greater self-determination and 3. Gain resources to establish and maintain permanent housing stability. The program provides comprehensive case management and support services which helps survivors to improve their employment readiness skills and develop workplace maturity skills to gain employment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 82% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
