Programs
Lifechange - (1) recovery - the organization provides transitional recovery services for adult men who are attempting to address problematic issues in their lives which have prohibited self-sufficiency and independence. The lifechange: recovery program phase is a dorm-style 3-6 month program phase where men participate in intensive biblical counseling, case management, workforce development/training and christian discipleship classes. Upon completion of lifechange: recovery men either transition to independent living or enter lifechange: transitions. (2) transitions - the organization offers 11-efficiency apartments for men experiencing homelessness who have pressing issues prohibiting independent living. These pressing issues may be drug/alcohol addiction, disabling condition(s) and/or other factors contributing to homelessness. Residents continue to participate in counseling/case management but are now employed or have established stable income and are preparing for their next step toward their maximum level of independence. Residents ideally transition to further independence after no more than 12-months but can be evaluated and allowed to reside longer, if necessary.

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 $1.7M to $5.3M (+212%).
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 2% · 2021 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of JEFFERSON STREET BAPTIST CENTER INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
