Overview

Mission

Originating from a christian commitment of service, we provide high quality care, services, and communities for seniors.

What it reported doing in 2024

The sole purpose is to provide subsidized low and moderate-income apartment rental housing for primary elderly persons through the u.s. Department of hud sections 202 and 8 programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
