Overview
Mission
Our Saviour’s Community Services walks with people in community in the heart of Phillips, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in South Minneapolis. We provide dignified shelter and housing for single adults and education for adult English language learners through our two programs—Our Saviour’s Housing and the English Learning Center.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our saviour's housing provides emergency shelter, and permanent supportive housing for single adults who are homeless. Supportive case management services are also made available to residents who participate in these programs. This program offers year round housing to participants. Volunteers and volunteer groups provide the meals that are served in the emergency shelter. The value of the donated meals is included in the revenues and expenses above. Not included in the above revenues and expenses are the value of donated services for housing of $59,415.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 80% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - 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.
