Overview
Mission
Provide a range of high-quality, community-based, behavioral health services to empower individuals and families to live healthy and successful lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
Foster care programs - foster care serves children via five different programs each designed to address the intensity of service required for the individual child. These services range from basic case management support to support for children who have committed sexual offenses in a program that stresses personal responsibility and accountability. Foster parents are provided with the necessary training to deal with a child according to the level of his/her individual needs. Number of individuals served: 139
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 96% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
