What it reported doing in 2025
Redemption outreach was created to provide safe and supervised housing environment for men and women currently in the appalachian judicial circuit accountability court programs. These individuals are either homeless or do not have adequate living conditions for sustaining their recovery. Redemption outreach has two homes, the depot houses the men in the program and the elsie gillam home houses the women currently in the program. Particpants pay the organization for housing, food and transportation. Participants attend meetings and classes and particpants are supervised by house parents to promote rehabilitation from drug and alchohol abuse. The organization receives donations from the public, other nonprofit organizations and local government agencies.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
