What Crisis House does
Mission
The mission of Crisis House is to respond immediately to stop the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness and to connect families and individuals to crucial resources that empower them to renew their lives.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Domestic violence services: Crisis House is one of the largest housing programs for survivors of domestic violence in the county of san diego and is the largest in east san diego county. The agency's collective of domestic violence housing programs, referred to as the journey programs, consists of different models each designed to meet the survivors' needs at various stages of their journey toward renewing their lives. They include emergency, transitional, and permanent housing (rapid re-housing short-term financial assistance with services) and serve the entire county of san diego. Case managers provide wrap-around services and connect families to the resources they need such as legal, employment, health, and other crucial services promoting self- sufficiency. A unique feature of the program is our housing locator who identifies and facilitates the lease-up process with the families, helps develop household budgets, and provides other related education such as the importance of good credit. These programs served 287 families, including 173 children.

$1,373,682 spent46% of program spendingCamp hope: in 2020 we added camp hope america - san diego, an affiliate of camp hope america. The program is funded by private donations. Camp hope is a one-of- a-kind camping and mentorship program that addresses the effects on children who have been exposed to domestic violence in their homes. This cost-free programming for underserved families in san diego has a reputation of accomplishment in healing children struggling with the effects of trauma. The program responds to the needs of over 75 of our community's children at no cost to the family. The program is research- based through the university of oklahoma and utilizes a hope-centered curriculum. Crisis House believes that addressing the needs of both mother and child after domestic abuse is critical to a successful and independent future for the child and breaks the cycle of generational domestic violence. The pipeline from childhood trauma to prison and a lifetime of victimization is one traveled by many children growing up in homes impacted by domestic violence. Camp hope interrupts that cycle and gives children their childhood back after the pain of domestic violence.

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 $1.0M to $2.1M (+102%).
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 56% · 2018 79% · 2019 71% · 2020 79% · 2021 55% · 2022 100% · 2023 96% · 2024 99% · 2025 99%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of CRISIS HOUSE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $33k → $275k.
5 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 CRISIS HOUSE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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
CRISIS HOUSE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% 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
33% 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 CRISIS HOUSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 94% · 2018 23% · 2019 25% · 2020 59% · 2021 46% · 2022 15% · 2023 22% — 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
35% of CRISIS HOUSE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
94% of CRISIS HOUSE's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $284k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
