Overview
Mission
Operation of a weatherization program servicing the low income population and a job training program and outreach services for senior citizens.
What it reported doing in 2025
Weatherization assistance - provided emergency repairs and weatherization on homes whose occupants meet the program criteria.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 95% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
