What it reported doing in 2025
Noah rental housing case management/homelessness prevention programming: this free, bilingual program is comprised of several related service lines, all working to help no-, low- or moderate-income households move along the housing spectrum from being either homeless or at risk of homelessness to being able to obtain shelter or else to retain or obtain apartment homes. These service lines include: -ehap (emergency housing assistance program) - serves newly homeless disaster victims; provides short-term emergency hotel stays immediately following any such red cross assistance, as well as move-in grants paid to the new landlord (deposit for first/ or last month rent up to $3,200); also provides case management, as needed. This ehap program was first established in 2020. -fsnp (family safety net) - serves recently homeless families with minor children; provides short-term emergency hotel stays, referrals, and/or counseling/case management assistance in transitioning to shelter or housing-tsf (tenant stabilization funds) - serves homeless or those at risk of homelessness; provides rental funding grants paid to landlords to prevent evictions 'upstream' (preferred) or for first or last and deposit for new apartments up to $5,000-homelessness prevention - provides counseling and/or case management for households at risk of homelessness soon, but not immediately or for those who do not meet the criteria of the three service lines above-covid-19 rent relief - serves households negatively impacted financially by covid-19; provides rent payments to landlords to keep households in their apartment homes through paying rental arrears and/or future stipends; also pays late utility bills up to $1,500 and/or move-in costs.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
