Mission

Welcome to housing is a household goods bank and serves people in need in the bangor region. Our goal is to help individuals, including veterans and families succeed as they transition from area shelters to permanent housing by providing basic household items donated through the local community. We also help people displaced by fire and domestic violence.

The served individuals include veterans and families moving from shelter programs to permanent housing; people displaced by domestic violence; displaced by fire or any other disaster and people re- entering the community form corrections.

Operating 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
