Overview

Mission

To create decent affordable housing for people in need. This year, work was completed on 1 house and begun on 1 house. Mortgage payments were received on 21 houses.

What it reported doing in 2024

Compensation of key employee - Payment for a part-time employee to oversee SVHFH's interactions with families we are building with, and have built with (e.g. receiving mortgage payments); to manage the office for organizational meetings and public interactions; to coordinate construction and other volunteers - all in support of building houses

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 70% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
