Overview

Mission

We focus on mental health and provide support and services to youth throughout our county and focus on vulnerable populations facing crisis during transitional housing placement.

What it reported doing in 2020

Transformed Vandalism/Graffiti into Mindful Affirmation Art for our Community on the Streets Program. These pieces were done in different communities and in high traffic areas touching many individuals.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
