01What it does

What Emmaus Housing does

Mission

All monies realized by the corporation shall be used exclusively for the operation, maintenance and development of property used to provide affordable housing to individuals or families of low income and to otherwise assist in the provision of affordable housing to such persons.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Five apartment units are occupied by individuals and families in the low- and very-low-income brackets: in 2024, a family of 5, a family of 2, one couple and two single persons. Personal relationships with tenants provide practical and emotional support. Each tenant household is invited to have one member on the Board of Directors, empowering tenants to participate in decisions affecting their lives. One tenant chose to serve on the Board in 2024. In addition, a four-bedroom house is rented to the Denver Catholic Worker to house people currently experiencing homelessness. A family of 2, a family of 4, and two single persons lived in the house in 2024.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $15k → $20k.

3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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 EMMAUS HOUSING’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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

EMMAUS HOUSING leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

95% 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 EMMAUS HOUSING.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 67% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 54% — 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.

Where its funders are

95% of EMMAUS HOUSING'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 $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 1 state.

PA

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $104k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
