Overview

Mission

To organize powerful youth for an inclusive equitable and sustainable future.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ending Youth Homelessness: This program focused on eradicating youth housing insecurity and houselessness through pursuing regional youth-specific funding encouraging authentic engagement and power sharing and fighting for dignity and autonomy for youth with lived-expertise. Work included serving on the Steering Committee of the San Diego Youth Homelessness Consortium a coalition of youth-service providers and informing best-practices for authentic youth engagement. Our Time To Act assisted in the San Diego regions successful application for the Housing and Urban Development Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program funds resulting in $9.7 million for the regions youth-specific homelessness response system. Our Time To Act also participated in the Solidarity Journey and West Coast Convening raising awareness about the state of the crisis and sharing best practices. This program both directly and indirectly serves the over 20,000 youth experiencing houselessness in San Diego.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
