To Provide a Safe and Affordable Housing for Low-Income Persons.

What it reported doing in 2024

The sole purpose is to provide subsidized apartment rental housing for approximately 50 low-income elderly and/or handicapped persons through the U.S. Department 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 voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
