As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs

All residents were served by case managers who assisted the residents with goal setting, problem solving, and connecting with area resources in order to become self-sufficient upon completion of the 90 day program. Also, during their stay at the shelter, residents were counseled in the areas of personal care, family living, financial responsibility, job interviewing, and employment relations. Sixty-five (65) percent of shelter residents completed the program having both employment and housing.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $1.2M to $1.5M (+33%).
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: 2020 18% · 2021 6% · 2022 1% · 2023 2% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of BENJAMIN'S HOUSE EMERGENCY SHELTER INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (37% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $48k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
