What Community Lodgings Inc does
Mission
Provide educational programs for children. Preserve affordable housing. Provide transitional housing to homeless families to enable them to become self-sufficient.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Housing Program consists of transitional and affordable housing units provided to homeless and low income families. The program includes 45 apartments to provide below market rental rates to residents in the City of Alexandria. During 2025, 5 apartments were designated for housing homeless families coming from shelters in Alexandria. These families pay 30% of their income as a program fee. The transitional program is a two-year program designed to provide education, counseling, job placement, and financial and budget mentoring to stabilize the families so they will be able to move into their own housing when they leave the program.
$850,661 spent60% of program spendingThe Youth Education program provides educational programs for youths living in the neighborhood and in the transitional housing apartments. The youth education program is highly academic, mirroring the curriculums being presented in the local schools. It is designed to create an atomosphere of success for the low income, minority and homeless children and to prevent them from homelessness in the future. The adult education component focuses on teaching English and computer literacy skills.

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.1M to $3.0M (+42%).
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 9% · 2021 24% · 2023 5% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
55% of Community Lodgings Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 10 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $151k → $287k.
13 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 58% 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 Community Lodgings Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 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
Community Lodgings Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
60% 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 Community Lodgings Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 66% · 2019 57% · 2020 58% · 2021 19% · 2022 44% · 2023 26% — 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
42% of Community Lodgings Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 69% 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
58% of Community Lodgings Inc'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 $1.1M that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 10 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
