What Home Repair Resource Center does
Mission
Home Repair Resource Center (hrrc) mission is to empower homeowners to maintain their homes for sustainable and diverse communities. Hrrc focuses on owner-occupied, one and two-family homes.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Housing counseling program: our housing counseling program serves two primary purposes: (1) to improve financial literacy by assisting community residents with personal financial issues, such as establishing a workable household budget and understanding refinancing options; and (2) to provide home buyer education to prospective purchasers that will enable them to make wise home buying decisions and become responsible owners who care for and maintain their properties, thereby improving community stability. Both goals are achieved through individual counseling and group education. Both service delivery models, but especially the individual counseling approach, are integrated into the range of services that hrrc provides. The strength of all our programming is enhanced by the presence of in-house financial and housing counseling services.

We have developed a knowledge base of home repair resources, both text and video, that supplement our workshops. We enjoy a robust partnership with the heights libraries, which includes joint programming as well as access to our knowledge base, both physically and through the internet. We maintain hand and power tools for use in our classes that are available for eligible homeowners to borrow through our tool library program. We house a spacious and well-equipped workshop/teaching center where we conduct classes and allow students to learn repair techniques by performing them. Finally, we have cultivated an ever-expanding list of committed volunteer instructors-professionals in their fields, who are willing to share their expertise with class participants.

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 2022 to 2023, from $976k to $1.1M (+14%).
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 44% · 2018 51% · 2019 36% · 2020 35% · 2021 40% · 2022 63% · 2023 81% · 2024 50% · 2025 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
66% of HOME REPAIR RESOURCE CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $38k → $56k.
4 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% 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 HOME REPAIR RESOURCE CENTER’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
HOME REPAIR RESOURCE CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% 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 HOME REPAIR RESOURCE CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 58% · 2018 100% · 2019 57% · 2020 100% · 2021 76% · 2022 100% · 2023 61% — growing more concentrated.
“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
43% of HOME REPAIR RESOURCE CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
77% of HOME REPAIR RESOURCE CENTER's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $85k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
