Overview

Mission

To help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness build new lives through construction, community engagement and education.

What it reported doing in 2024

Serving those experiencing homelessness and living on the streets, homeaid collects and distributes carekit items through volunteers. Items collected include blankets, clothing, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, water, food, and resource cards. Carekits not only meet a direct need, but also link individuals and families experiencing homelessness to a service provider who can offer housing. Funds are also used to generate more homeaid carekits that are distributed to the chronic homeless living on streets so they have access to basic items needed for survival. Homeaid also hosts several essentials drives throughout the year that bring resources to those at risk of experiencing homelessess. These resources include, but are not limited to, diapers, wipes, baby food, canned food and other nonperishable items.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and liabilities are high compared with assets.
