Overview
Mission
Nia imani family, inc. Is a safe, affordable transitional housing facility that teaches young homeless mothers with histories of poverty, violence, and trauma the life skills needed for planning, decision making and self-examination to prepare them to live independently and create strong, nurturing families for themselves and their children.
What it reported doing in 2024
Program fees simulate a rental relationship to teach the women how to budget money and become positive responsible parents and citizens. Getting permanent medical homes was a huge accomplishment in ensuring better medical health for mothers and children. Staff realized the need to add a drug awareness educational component to our program once it was discovered pregnant and non pregnant mothers were using marijuana periodically. This component of the program focused on helping mothers understand how it no only affected their minds but also the health of their unborn child. All of the mothers improved their understanding of health issues that could face them, even at a early age such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, and other things that can disproportionately affect women living in extreme poverty and stress.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
