Overview

Mission

The mission of R-Empowerment is to prevent homelessness through programs that empower participants who are facing eviction to live their best lives.

What it reported doing in 2020

Empowerment boot camp is an intensive program for people in eviction status. R-Empowerment works with landlords to establish payment plans then meets with the respective tenants to provide training on budgeting and other financial issues.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
