What End Homelessness California does
Mission
To build capacity and community engagement to better serve the most vulnerable population suffering poverty and the homeless crisis.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Launched in november 2024 as part of los angeles county's pathway home initiative, the pilot site accommodates up to 14 rvs for stays of up to six months. Participants receive daily meals, access to mobile bathrooms and showers, case management, and housing navigation services, along with 24-hour security and utility hookups. By offering a dignified and structured alternative to street parking, the program improves health and safety, reduces displacement and citations, and helps residents move toward permanent housing solutions. Operated in partnership with the county and community providers, the program also serves as a model for replicable safe parking efforts that can alleviate the humanitarian and community impacts of rv encampments across los angeles.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The shower of hope program offers free showers, hygiene, food, clothing, haircuts, books, and the opportunity to connect with wrap-around services such as case management and mental health through los angeles homeless services authority (lahsa) and los angeles county. During the covid-19 pandemic, services for this program were expanded to serve over 26 locations every week, and many sites also became vaccination centers for the unhoused. In 2023, the organization expanded to over 40+ sites through the care plus and shower stop programs. Program service revenues represent amounts billed to third-party nonprofit organizations to provide shower services as part of these nonprofits' programs. The shower of hope provided over 70,000 showers in 2024 and over 36,000 in 2023.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.2M to $2.2M (+91%).
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: 2019 70% · 2020 73% · 2021 64% · 2022 41% · 2023 28% · 2024 35%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of END HOMELESSNESS CALIFORNIA’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 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $50k → $385k.
8 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 65% 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 END HOMELESSNESS CALIFORNIA’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
END HOMELESSNESS CALIFORNIA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 59%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
72% 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 END HOMELESSNESS CALIFORNIA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 68% · 2019 26% · 2020 43% · 2021 29% · 2022 40% · 2023 75% — 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
40% of END HOMELESSNESS CALIFORNIA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
65% of END HOMELESSNESS CALIFORNIA'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 $761k that is directly attributable, 95% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
