What Emergency Shelter Inc does
Mission
The mission of HomeAgain is to assist families and individuals experiencing homelessness to secure and maintain a home, again.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Community Housing Services include two, highly effective financial assistance programs. Our signature program is the Rapid Rehousing Program that provides intense case management, housing search assistance and short-term rental assistance with the lease in the clients names. The Permanent Supportive Housing Program (PSH) provides long-term housing assistance to families impacted by disabilities in scattered site apartments across the Greater Richmond area. Leases for the program are in HomeAgains name and clients are sub-lessors. In FY2025, HomeAgains Community Housing programs served 150 individuals across 72 households. Programs are operated operated in accordance with guidelines established by the Greater Richmond Continuum of Care for the Homeless.

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 $902k to $1.9M (+106%).
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 76% · 2018 73% · 2019 70% · 2020 69% · 2021 61% · 2022 69% · 2023 76% · 2024 49% · 2025 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $145k → $300k.
9 of 40 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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 Emergency Shelter Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 40 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
Emergency Shelter Inc has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
75% 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 Emergency Shelter Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 31% · 2019 31% · 2020 36% · 2021 19% · 2022 22% · 2023 21% — 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
45% of Emergency Shelter Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
89% of Emergency Shelter Inc's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $881k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
