Overview

Mission

YEHS owned and managed properties provide low-income housing.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rental property management and maintenance services were provided to two real estate partnerships in which YEHS is a partner. These entities provided housing to 170 low and moderate income individuals and families. One partnership is a Section 8 project-based development housing 32 low-income families. The project has 12 4-bedroom townhomes, 12 3-bedroom townhomes, and 8 2-bedroom flats. YEHS partners with Humanitri, a local charity, to transition families from homeless shelters to longer-term transitional housing. Other tenants are long-term Soulardians. YEHS developed this project to help preserve an economic mix during Soulards gentrification. YEHS was also the developer/sponsor of the Allen Market Lane Apartments that provides rental units for the elderly with HUD rental assistance. This project was the first warehouse conversion to residential in the State of Missouri in 1979.

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

SUPPORTED - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
