What Central City Hospitality House does
Mission
Hospitality House is a progressive, community-based organization located in San Francisco's Tenderloin, Sixth Street Corridor, and Mid-Market neighborhoods, founded nearly 60 years ago in 1967 by community volunteers during the City's emerging gay liberation and youth empowerment movements. More than a half century later, Hospitality House is an anchor community institution providing opportunities and resources for stability, civic engagement, and self-determination to homeless people and other low-income neighborhood residents.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Hospitality House operated six programs during FY 2024-25. The Tenderloin Self-Help Center and Sixth Street Self-Help Center are Behavioral Health-based community centers that provide a range of emergency and support services using low threshold, peer-based self-help models. The Shelter Program provides 24 hour a day temporary shelter to 22 men and individualized case management that supports residents in overcoming various obstacles to securing permanent stable housing. The Community Arts Program is a unique space where individuals can create, house and sell artwork, offering open studio hours, workshops, a creative writing class, and an opportunity for artists to exhibit and sell their work. The Community Building Program includes a peer volunteer training program, program activities, and the Healing, Organizing and Leadership Development Project which is a peer community organizing internship for participants impacted by trauma. The Employment Program provides employment readiness and placement services. All programs work together to provide a range of support, resources, and opportunities for people to achieve stability and self-sufficiency.

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 2021 to 2022, from $6.2M to $7.7M (+24%).
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 86% · 2018 78% · 2019 86% · 2020 77% · 2021 85% · 2022 74% · 2023 85% · 2024 81% · 2025 78%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $623k → $671k.
12 of 31 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 67% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Central City Hospitality House leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
72% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Central City Hospitality House.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 68% · 2019 75% · 2020 72% · 2021 69% · 2022 30% · 2023 37% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
47% of Central City Hospitality House's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 65% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
67% of Central City Hospitality House's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1.8M that is directly attributable, 74% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $3.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
