What it reported doing in 2017
Homeless Veterans Services - VOAI facilitates two federally grant funded programs, Supportive Services for Veteran Families, that provide case management, housing services, and financial assistance to veterans and their families facing homelessness. One program covers an area in and around Evansville.The other covers Marion County within Indianapolis. VOAI has two transitional housing programs where men and women veterans facing homelessness can stay for up to two years. These Grant and Per Diem programs are located in Fort Wayne with 40 beds and Indianapolis with 20 beds. VOAI has a 29 bed temporary housing program in Indianapolis for homeless veteran men and a 25 bed Safe Haven model, low-demand temporary housing program in Fort Wayne for men and women. The Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program started this year to help homeless Vets find employment. All are funded by the Veterans Administration.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 91% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and expenses are high relative to revenue.
