Overview

Mission

Assist and educate individuals who are on parole or have behavior or addiction issues so that individuals can lead a productive and healthy life

What it reported doing in 2024

Re-entry Services/Behavioral Health-Batterers Intervention Program/Anger Management- Continued to provide individual and group sessions to individuals identified to need this evidence based program. No referrals were sent for this program for almost one year. Limited referrals resumed in March/2024 when the program was already at risk of closing the office due to no referrals for a long period of time.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
