$13,802 spent4% of program spendingLife skills - life skills are the skills that many people take for granted; such as managing money, shopping, cooking, running a home, and maintaining social networks. They are essential for living independently. Some people experiencing homelessness do not have all of these skills, either because they never acquired them or because they lost them through extended periods of homelessness. Helping those experiencing homelessness acquire life skills can help them move on from homelessness and resettle into the community. Life skills training is different from support, help or assistance in that the aim is to promote self-sufficiency. The organization offers two basic life skills training modules. The first is called holistic hardware, which offers core life skills through a biblical model. The second is called escaping your prison mind, which offers core life skills through the 12-step process.

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 2023 to 2024, from $350k to $488k (+40%).
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 69% · 2021 63% · 2022 31% · 2023 42% · 2024 51%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
