Overview

Mission

Trinity haven provides safe, affirming housing for lgbtq youth experiencing housing instability.

What it reported doing in 2025

Trinity haven's programs are centered around lgbtq+ young people who are experiencing housing instability and/or homelessness, intervening before the young people experience chronic homelessness, in order to help them pursue their educational and employment goals, address their health and wellness, and build community, to develop the skills needed to thrive in the world independently. The transitional living program (tlp) provides up to 24 months of shared housing and support to lgbtq+ young people between the ages of 18-24 in the state of Indiana. Young people have their own bedroom, but share living space in a 100-year-old home owned by trinity haven. Total number of youth served in 2025: 21.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
