Overview

Mission

To provide medical respite to people experiencing homelessness, serving as a post-hospital resource for patients without a safe place to heal from injury, illness, or another medical setback.

What it reported doing in 2024

Pathways to care is a 40-bed facility that provides temporary lodging to medically underserved adults who need a supportive environment where they can heal from an acute medical illness or injury or recuperate after hospitalization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 71% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
