Overview

Mission

To provide mental health services for children and families.

What it reported doing in 2015

The intensive in-home program serves children 5 to 18 who have severe emotional problems and are at risk of being placed outside the home for treatment. A team of three, including a licensed clinician and two coordinators works with each child and family. In 2015, the intensive in-home program served 64 children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
