Overview

Mission

PPTFH provides leadership and resources to address the destructive consequences of homelessness so that the community is protected and our homeless individuals receive compassionate services and access to permanent supportive housing.

What it reported doing in 2022

PPTFH contracted with The People Concern to provide clinical case workers and other trained field personnel to interface with homeless individuals encountered within Pacific Palisades. A number of homeless individuals were successfully place in interim and permanent supportive housing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 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.
