Overview

Mission

Our missionaries serve the inner-city poor and homeless through friendship evangelization.

What it reported doing in 2024

We are a Catholic mission staffed by full-time missionaries in Washington, DC and Kansas City, MO. The missionaries evangelize and serve families and individuals. The people served are below the poverty line and some are homeless. It is estimated that over 600 people were served by Simple House missionaries in 2025, and many of these people were helped through ongoing support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 81% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
