Overview

Mission

The ukrainian habitat fund (uhf) is an organization founded to provide housing and support services for ukrainians coming to the united states seeking refuge due to the ongoing full-scale war. We aspire to provide the critical support that will allow for healing and a successful future to ukrainians in their time of greatest need.

What it reported doing in 2024

The fund enables access to safe and affordable housing for displaced families and works with a network of partners to provide mental health support, education, and job opportunities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
