Overview
Mission
S22 Neighborhood Association
What it reported doing in 2025
Negotiated among labor unions and real-estate developer Rafi Properties to produce a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) that included a first-ever project labor agreement. Conducted a neighborhood vote in which approximately 2,200 neighborhood residents, property owners, small business owners, and workers voted on whether to approve the CBA.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
- 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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
