Overview

Mission

Homeless ourtreach

What it reported doing in 2011

Providing free storage to homeless people in downtown san diego in the form of 400 storage bins provided on a first come first serve basis. Water, food, clothes, tents, blankets, and shopping carts were also distributed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 76% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
