Overview

Mission

Our services have been completely bilingual while maintaining a culturally relevant setting. We service clients from all socio-economical backgrounds and are committed to issues address i.e. drug and alcohol abuse and its effect on life and families, self-esteem, harm reduction, relapse prevention, aftercare counseling, etc.

What it reported doing in 2024

Program provides family focused services to parents, their children, and extended family members. The major goal is to mitigate the adverse consequences of drug dependence on the individual and his/her family members, and to establish partnerships within the family and with a variety of social service agencies in the community.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
