Overview

Mission

We are a volunteer-based non-profit organization that provides services, resources, education, and information to people who are in need of support, particularly those who are in crisis. With a 24-hour hot-line, walk-in hours, and basic needs case management, we serve some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Centre helps basic needs case management program served 183 households, which included 409 individuals. Eviction was prevented for 137 families. Utility shutoff was prevented for 26 households, vehicle repair funds for 4 households, and 75 other households received support to assist with other critical needs. Through advocacy and case management, the program packaged funds totaling $93,953 to support these households.

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 total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
