Mission
The mission of Clare Housing is to provide a continuum of affordable and supportive housing options that create healing communities and optimize the health of people living with hiv/aids.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program

Staff provides rehabilitation support to those needing to stabilize their health before returning to independent living and long-term care to those disabled by hiv/aids. Additionally, Clare Housing provides end of life care to those at the terminal stage of the disease. Staff also assists those who need a deeper level of care because of dementia and mental health conditions, physical frailty, inability to manage household activities, take prescribed medications, and prepare adequate nutrition.Clare Housing operates permanent, affordable service-enriched housing and served 192 low-income residents who are formerly or at risk of homelessness at four supportive housing sites: clare apartments, clare midtown, clare terrace, and clare marshall flats. These sites also provide home care opportunities for residents who require a higher level of support, such as, nursing care, medication administration, hands on assistance with activities of daily living, and…

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 2024 to 2025, from $12M to $14M (+22%).
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 18% · 2018 19% · 2019 22% · 2020 25% · 2021 33% · 2022 29% · 2023 29% · 2024 37% · 2025 55%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
62% of CLARE HOUSING’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 21 funders, grant income rose $151k → $446k.
13 of 49 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CLARE HOUSING’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 49 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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
CLARE HOUSING has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
56% 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 CLARE HOUSING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 27% · 2019 23% · 2020 16% · 2021 17% · 2022 22% · 2023 24% — 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
41% of CLARE HOUSING's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
77% of CLARE HOUSING's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $540k 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.
