Overview
Mission
Sus - urgent housing programs, inc. Shelter promotes independent living, recovery and an improved quality of life.

For many, this is the starting point of the personal journey to recovery. The shelter is a temporary home to 144 men with mental illness. Of these residents, all have been previously homeless, some have physical disabilities, and most have histories of substance abuse, long-term hospitalization or psychiatric stays or incarceration.

Operates transitional housing in New York city for homeless adults living with mental illness. In addition to the housing, residents are offered services to promote recovery and independent living. The emergency shelter serves approximately 500 people annually.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
