Program
Blue Waters Recovery Foundations primary service remains to provide safe and structured housing to drug addicts and alcoholics seeking recovery. Our program has a total of 165 beds among 7 locations. While our program requires all clients to gain employment, many of these clients are without funds when entering the program and thus without other options as they are unable to pay program costs as well as living expenses such as food and transportation. These clients had no or limited funds upon entering the program. Our program goes to great expense to attempt to assist them with these difficulties to help them gain employment to help them maintain sobriety and become productive members of society these statistics are derived from our crm report for intakes filtering results for cleints that owed or still owe program fees.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $9k to $1k (−89%).
How it's funded, over time
