Overview

Mission

To feed, clothe and shelter homeless women

What it reported doing in 2021

15-bed shelter and meals for homeless women as a temporary residence while they vail themselves of the supportive services geared to address their need. The staff assesses the health care needs of each woman. A psychiatric/medical outreach team visits weekly to provide diagnostic evaluations. Referrals and appointments are made for professional consulting. The dwelling place offers daily breakfast, takeout lunch, dinners and a evening snack for each resident. The residence also addresses the spiritual needs of the women with no set religious practice but the opportunity to express a creative power is provided through faith sharing and services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
