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. 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 2020 to 2021, from $510k to $585k (+15%).
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 11% · 2018 17% · 2019 11% · 2020 13% · 2021 13% · 2022 9% · 2023 13% · 2024 9% · 2025 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
55% of CENTRAL JERSEY HOUSING RESOURCE CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (38% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
40% 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 JERSEY HOUSING RESOURCE CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 54% · 2018 58% · 2019 36% · 2020 28% · 2021 38% · 2022 26% · 2023 34% — diversifying over time.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $243k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
