Overview

Mission

Residential treatment program for adolescent girls ages 12-20 and outpatient therapy services to the general public.

What it reported doing in 2025

Residential treatment program for adolescent girls ages 12-20, offering housing and behavioral, emotional, social, and psychological support while remedying risk factors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 64% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
