Program
Bishop Sheen Ecumenical Housing Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation that goes beyond what most housing related organizations offer to provide safe, decent, affordable housing for low income individuals, families, seniors, veterans, and persons living with disabilities. We seek to promote the self-worth and dignity of the persons we serve and the community at large by offering financial assistance and a wide range of housing services. Our clients have an average income of $25,150 and often must choose between food, health care and other basic necessities, leaving them with few resources for critical health and safety home repairs.(Continued on Schedule O)This year alone, we touched the lives of over 871 vulnerable, low income households with an investment of over $5,300,000 by providing health and safety home repairs, home modifications, comprehensive housing counseling and sustainable, affordable housing. Our programs contribute to the quality of life and positive health outcomes for both clients and our community.This program is supported by government grants and contributions.

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.
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 $8.5M to $15M (+73%).
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: 2021 93% · 2022 82% · 2023 76% · 2024 70% · 2025 68%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $281k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
