Overview

Mission

Tchi is a group of individuals concerned about the growing homeless population within our communities. Tchi's mission is to establish a faith based network of churches and organizations within tioga county which will provide a warm, safe, and caring environment for individuals and families who are homeless.

What it reported doing in 2024

Homeless shelter operations funded solely by grants and donations with no costs to those who use the services.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
