Overview

Mission

The mission is to work in partnership to achieve permanent solutions to prevent, reduce and end homelessness by offering educational workshops, hosting annual events that serve the homeless and at-risk members of the community, and promoting resource connections.

What it reported doing in 2024

We work to share with our community relevant information, statistics, and current issues. Our work is rooted in believing housing is a human right and we collaborate to design responses to injustice. We advocate to our leaders at the local, state, and federal levels concerning policy and funding that impacts our partners and our collective work. We seek to advance affordable housing and create opportunities for people to thrive so that everone has a safe place to call home.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
