Overview

Mission

To provide free transitional housing to women, mothers and children who are survivors of domestic violence and help them work towards self-sufficiency.

What it reported doing in 2025

The residential living program offers safe, furnished transitional housing for women and children transitioning from shelters to independence. Families can stay for up to 24 months. This program runs 24/7.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
