Overview

Mission

Shelter for the Homeless

What it reported doing in 2025

SCM provides a safe and secure place for homeless people to bathe, sleep, and get two hot meals a day. SCM also provides clothing or food to anyone who is in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
