Overview

Mission

To support independence, dignity, and purpose for all people.

What it reported doing in 2024

Redisential habilitation - this program includes formalized training and supports provided to clients who require some level of ongoing daily support. This service is designed to assist with and develop self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills that improve the client's ability to independently reside and participate in an intergrated community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 86% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
