Overview

Mission

To provide a network of mental health programs to all age groups within the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Los Angeles County DMH/Medi-Cal, SGF and CGF - 14,806,775 minutes of outpatient plus other mixed mental health services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 - 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.
