What Advocates for Homeless and Those in Need does
Mission
Advocates for homeless & those in need (ahtn) is a bucks county interfaith nonprofit that serves the homeless and those in need by providing year-long access to emergency shelter, food and other life-sustaining services, with dignity and compassion. Ahtn services the homeless and those in need (poverty level) in lower bucks county. Our those in need (tin) mission specifically serves needy families with children.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Those in need - this mission processes daily calls from agencies, organizations and individuals in need asking for a wide variety of help. These calls are sometimes from caseworkers from bucks agencies who have a client needing a "hands up" to get back on their feet. Most of the time, the housing link, which is the point of entry for individuals or families with children who are unsheltered, refers callers to ahtn for emergency shelter in a local motel which is the largest emergency service request. Ahtn also funds gas assistance; small car repairs; utilities; ids and documents. Ahtn also provides transportation to mental health appointments; grocery stores; laundromat; drug court & mental health court. During 2024- 2025, ahtn served 765 single individuals, 273 families, with total 1365 family members served.

For code blue season (dec. 2024 - march 2025) ahtn was open 66 nights; served 176 unduplicated individuals and 2558 "heads in beds" which are duplicated guests
$85,484 spent31% of program spendingTransportation - one major mission is our wheels to meals. Ahtn partners with 35 houses of worship as part of our free shared meals program. Ahtn volunteers use our vehicles to pick-up our homeless friends and bring them houses of worship so the homeless and those in need can enjoy a nutritious meal with others in the community every night of the month. During the pandemic, all of the houses of worship shut their doors but our administrative consultant worked with all of the houses of worship to see if they would make "to go" meals. They all agreed. We are running a hybrid program now. There are 21 houses of worship that offer a sit down community meal so our volunteers transport our friends to and from the meal. The rest of the month, ahtn volunteers pick up 50 "to go" meals and deliver them out to our homeless friends at our various bus stops. They are able to get a meal every night of the year.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $284k to $360k (+27%).
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 2% · 2018 4% · 2019 10% · 2022 26% · 2023 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $109k → $74k.
8 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 34% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
72% 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 ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 88% · 2019 57% · 2020 37% · 2021 49% · 2022 37% · 2023 50% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
29% of ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 39% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
53% of ADVOCATES FOR HOMELESS AND THOSE IN NEED's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $294k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from Pennsylvania funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $327k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
