What Drueding Center does
Mission
Drueding Center has become a tangible expression of holy redeemer health system's commitment to families and an embodiment of its mission: to care, comfort, and heal. Drueding Center partners with our families to build the skills to heal from trauma, restore hope and end the cycle of homelessness. Drueding Center directly addresses the multifaceted issues of homelessness, trauma, and poverty; by providing transitional housing and comprehensive supportive services to families. We are the first housing program to achieve sanctuary certification, reflecting an agency-wide commitment to trauma-informed care.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In january 2024, Drueding Center was informed that hud funding for the transitional housing program was ending as of 9/30/2024. Drueding Center's board of directors made the decision to operate a smaller number of transitional housing units while pursuing funding to renovate the residential building to convert the program from transitional housing to permanent supportive housing. Staffing was reduced and the number of families served at one time was reduced from 30 to 12. The residential services and community services departments were combined into family services in fy25.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Drueding Center's theory of change is that families experiencing homelessness will build skills to heal from trauma, restore hope, and end the cycle of homelessness through a trauma informed and housing first approach. Trauma-informed services are at the heart of everything we do at Drueding Center promoting healing, safety, and empowerment. We take the family's lead and collaborate to find their best path toward the future. Along the way, we address the root causes of homelessness, which are often larger systemic issues such as lack of affordable housing. We remove barriers to clear the way for independence so that clients can experience lasting change and see their full potential.our trauma-informed culture guides our housing first approach. Housing first means that we unconditionally address the core issue of providing shelter and immediately develop a housing plan when a family first arrives at Drueding Center. Housing first, a nationally recognized, evidence-based best practice, is proven to help families maintain permanent housing and achieve stability and well-being. All of our services support this ultimate goal. In january 2024, Drueding Center was informed that hud…

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 2019 to 2020, from $8.8M to $7.3M (−17%).
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 46% · 2018 43% · 2019 41% · 2020 39% · 2021 38% · 2022 41% · 2023 41% · 2024 42% · 2025 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $753k 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.
