Overview

Mission

The mission of samuel's house, inc. Is to provide housing in a nurturing environment for homeless women, women with children, men with children and intact families, and to provide them with care coordination beneficial to their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

What it reported doing in 2024

Samuel's house provides a temporary shelter for women that have been displaced. These women come to us for a variety of reasons. Some have been recently released from jail, some have just been released from substance abuse treatment programs, and some have come to samuel's house from abusive homes. While providing a safe haven for these women, samuel's house also teaches them life skills which will enable them to re-enter society.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
