Overview
Mission
To provide transportation for the elderly, persons with disabilities, and underserved youth in the sacramento metropolitan area and to provide support services to other agencies.

Land was granted to pi housing solutions inc, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to build and maintain a multifamily housing development with approximately 108 living units for rental to low-income persons and families.
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 87% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
