Overview

Mission

North central behavioral health systems is dedicated to serving a diverse range of individuals with behavioral health needs in order to achieve overall wellness through available resources.

What it reported doing in 2024

Intensive home community based services (ihcbs) & community support: ihcbs and case management are home and community-based services that assist individuals to regain or learn coping skills for symptom management, problem solving, medications, and physical health. Services also include assisting individuals and/or families in obtaining or maintaining safe and affordable housing. This program served 1,261 people during the year.

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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
