Overview

Mission

Tenth and lami, inc. Provides permanent supportive housing to otherwise homeless, low-income st. Louisans living with HIV. Revenue comes from government contracts and residents' rent, which is capped at 30% of their income.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tenth and lami, inc. Operates an apartment building (21 units) to provide persons who are disabled by HIV infection with housing facilities and services specially designed to meet their physical, social and psychological needs and to promote their health, security, happiness and usefulness in longer living (i.e., housing, health and hope.)

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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
