Program
Bread and roses housing's affordable home ownership opportunities are among the most accessible and affordable in new england. Its community land trust model, a progressive solution to community change, takes the value of the land out of the home-buying process, preserving the land as a community resource while opening the door to home ownership to very low income families. Besides creating and preserving affordable home ownership opportunities for households traditionally excluded from the housing market, our family support program provides education and training, as well as networking and organizing opportunities to ensure families' continued success. Advocating for the housing needs of low income families through collaborative partnerhips is a key priority for the organization. Since its inception, bread & roses housing has conducted education seminars for over 2,700 low income, first time homebuyers and enabled 54 families to obtain and maintain their own home - families that might have never had the opportunity to purchase their own property.

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.1M to $0 (−100%).
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 47% · 2018 40% · 2019 51% · 2020 54% · 2021 84% · 2022 33%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $132 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
