    100% of program spending
  2. This revenue and expenses were from the Rural Crisis Network which provides services for someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis without a imminent risk of harm. The way the grant for the rural crisis network work was that we would incur the cost and they would reimburse us.

  3. Winter hours was for the period from November 20th to December 31st in which the center operated for 24 hours a day. This provided a warm and dry place for our homeless population to stay. During this time we saw 30 homeless individuals and we were able to find housing for 16 of those.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $105,353.
