Overview

Mission

We provide opportunity for day laborers, household workers and other low-wage, immigrant workers to find safe work, conduct health and safety trainings, educational outreach, wage theft claims support, job training, immigration services and housing support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our worker rights department engages our membership of day laborers, domestic workers, and other low-wage immigrant workers in our various programming, including workforce and job development, know your rights presentations, outreach and education, wage theft support, worker/employer mediation, as well as leadership development through advocacy, civic engagement, and coalition building as part of campaigns that aim to directly better living conditions for the working class immigrant community. The department is divided into three (3) subprograms: the day labor program (dlp), the household worker program, and the health and safety program.

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 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
