Overview

Mission

To befriend the homeless, bridge the relational gap, and build long-term community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The human impact supports the chronically homeless through friendship advocacy. The organization goes into various neighborhoods where over 1000 homeless people live. The organization hosts birthday parties and funerals, takes people to the doctor, helps people get into addiction recovery programs, helps them get identification, among other things.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
