Overview

Mission

Soul Shelter exists to purchase single-family homes to temporarily house primarily women with or without children in crisis situations (typically domestic abuse or human trafficking).

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2024, Soul Shelter purchased three homes for use as temporary shelters. One of them has been very successful with providing emergency shelter through a ministry partner. The other two were not move-in ready, and were undergoing required substantial renovation in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 79% for direct work, and 21% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
