Overview

Mission

To provide emergency shelter and resources for single homeless women, regardless of their faith, in an environment that respects their dignity as human persons, affords them the opportunity to live indivdiually and collectively with others in a safe environment of self-government, and empowers them to network with local businesses and social services for employment and self-sufficiency.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization provided 159 unique women with 6,480 safe, warm bed nights. Over 13,000 meals were provided, as well as basic hygiene supplies to all who walked through the organization's doors. All women were provided with on-site case management services and the opportunity to connect with an onsite community nurse through parkview hospital. The organization partnered with mental health america, health visions, and the health department to provide a creative growth workshop, which focused on art as a way to process the past and express emotions, a diabetes workshop and vaccine administration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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.
