Overview

Mission

We promote healthy and vibrant communities through support, advocacy and partnerships with a focus on housing, education, transportation and the built environment.

What it reported doing in 2025

We moved into a new office, we hired two new people bringing us to a total of six staff, we started construction on Hillcrest Veterans Village, and changed the Foundry Village operations to sober transitional housing in October.

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

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.
