Overview

Mission

Shelter for Homeless Men

What it reported doing in 2025

Guests are admitted into the Haven at 7 p.m. each evening on a first come first serve basis. We are able to accommodate 23 guests per night. Guests are provided with a clean, safe place to sleep, coffee, snacks, the ability to shower (including all needed toiletry supplies and towels). Guests leave the Haven by 8 a.m. each morning. Guests may stay as long as they need as long as they follow the rules. No one is ever charged a fee to say at St. Patricks Haven.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - 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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
