The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 84% · 2018 84% · 2019 85% · 2020 90% · 2021 87% · 2022 88% · 2023 86% · 2024 86%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
40% of THE HOUSING HELP CENTRE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (8% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund THE HOUSING HELP CENTRE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 55% · 2022 91% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
