Overview

Mission

The mission of raphael house is to help low-income families and families experiencing homelessness strengthen family bonds by achieving stable housing and financial independence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Children's services - at raphael house, our children's services support children experiencing homelessness while they live in our residential shelter as well as children who are no longer experiencing homelessness and have moved into stable housing and are low-income (through the bridge program). We recognize that children learn best in the context of family and community, and have designed our children's services to support this belief. The goals of our services are: 1) to address the developmental needs of the "whole child": social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative; 2) to provide children with academic support aimed at preventing future homelessness as adults; and 3) to provide families with the necessary models and support to promote healthy relationships. The components of our children's services include: academic enrichment, tutoring clubs, birthday events for children, events and outings for families and children, financial assistance for summer/winter camps and extracurricular activities, and advocacy support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
