Overview

Mission

To provide safe and affordable housing for low-income persons.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Sole Purpose is to Provide Subsidized Apt Rental Housing to Approximately 35 Low-Income Elderly and/or Handicapped Persons Through the U.S. Dept. of HUD Section 202 Program.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most filed governance safeguards are in place. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
