Overview

Mission

To create decent, affordable housing for those in need and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience with people everywhere.

What it reported doing in 2024

Homes are constructed using volunteer labor. The homes are sold to low income families unable to purchase homes by traditional means. A volunteer selection committee chooses potential homeowners from submitted applications.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
