Overview

Mission

Community emergency homeless shelter, transitional housing & outreach services

What it reported doing in 2024

During 2024, VVHC was able to continue to improve and operate our transition center emergency shelter 7 days a week, while completing construction on a transitional housing complex. Local and foundation grants were also obtained in order to be able to upgrade the transition center and facilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 73% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
