What it reported doing in 2024

Family preservation & in-home services - individualized services that focus on keeping children and youth in their homes and communities, and to decrease parental stress, family conflict, and social and emotional difficulties that can create crises. Our services are flexible and attentive to the daily needs of families, and can occur in the home, at school, or in the community. Comprehensive outpatient treatment and counseling services are offered for a variety of emotional, behavioral, and mental health issues, including individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management. Supportive services for transition-age youth are designed to work with youth to obtain the life skills and support needed to achieve their goals and change the way they view life and their own potential. The program served 133 clients in the current tax year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
