Overview

Mission

Provide residential care services for persons living in facilities for the disabled, including room, board, home care, transportation and recreation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Patient services - residential care was developed as a supportive living program for men and women recovering from mental illness. The residential facilities are an essential building block for many in recovery. The services are designed to provide smooth, effective transition from treatment to independent living. Residents enhance social, independent and daily living skills by interacting individually and in groups, developing new ways to cope with the symptoms and impact of their illness. Residential care offers an array of housing options, as well as special programs that emphasize developing personal relationships and basic life skills training. Housing programs include group homes, transitional housing, independent housing, and senior housing.

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 89% 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
