What Journey Home Inc does
Mission
Journey home's mission is to ensure a home for all. We believe the most powerful way to do this is collectively - by working together with service providers, elected officials, businesses, and local communities to end homelessness in the capital region of connecticut. We will build partnerships, advance innovative solutions, and achieve enduring, systemic change. We've spent more than a decade committed to ending homelessness by applying sustainable solutions to the barriers that create cycles of homelessness. Every day, we work to prevent as many people as possible from losing their housing, increase the speed at which we find housing for anyone who is already experiencing homelessness, and help folks move into their homes and provide the furnishings and services they need to never become homeless again.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Journey home's mission is not to manage homelessness, but to end it. We are a small team of social innovators taking a modern approach to a complex problem. We have created a national model for best approaches to ending homelessness. Over a decade, we have been focused on ending chronic homelessness, which describes those who have experienced more than a year of homelessness and are living with disabling conditions. Since 2015, 600 households experiencing chronic homelessness have obtained housing through this coordinated network. While we continue to work towards ending chronic homelessness we are also now focused on ending homelessness for households with children and youth aged 18-24. Through this coordinated system of services with our partners, we are now able to keep over 75% of families in housing crises out of emergency shelters. Through our a hand up program, furniture donation and volunteer engagement program, we have been able to assist approximately 400 clients with furnishing their new homes and involved over 900 volunteers in these efforts. Through our employment program, we supported 84 individuals by providing access to employment resources, workforce development…

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.9M to $6.1M (+113%).
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 77% · 2018 45% · 2019 50% · 2020 44% · 2021 80% · 2022 92% · 2023 89% · 2024 60% · 2025 84%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of JOURNEY HOME INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 28 funders, grant income rose $399k → $481k.
12 of 57 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% 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 JOURNEY HOME INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 57 funders by total. 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
JOURNEY HOME INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 66%; 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 JOURNEY HOME INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 67% · 2018 66% · 2019 36% · 2020 55% · 2021 22% · 2022 62% · 2023 20% — 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
44% of JOURNEY HOME INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
59% of JOURNEY HOME INC'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 $2.8M that is directly attributable, 53% of it comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
