What Lifewell does
Mission
Lifewell's mission is to ensure access to safe, affordable housing and supportive resources that enable individuals with serious mental illness and other disabling conditions to live independently and successfully within their communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Effective october 1, 2024, Lifewell became a subsidiary of terros, inc. D/b/a terros health. As part of the transaction, Lifewell transferred its clinical operations, including outpatient, direct care, and residential treatment services, to terros health. Lifewell's ongoing activities are focused on the ownership, operation, and management of affordable and supportive housing for individuals with behavioral health and other disabling conditions.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Lifewell provides housing operations and property management services that support safe, affordable, and stable housing for adults with serious mental illness (smi), visual impairments, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Services include tenant placement, lease administration, occupancy management, housing inspections, maintenance coordination, compliance oversight, and collaboration with clinical and community partners to promote housing stability, independence, and successful tenancy. Housing support staff are available 24/7 to address housing-related needs.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $43M to $16M (−62%).
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: 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2021 13% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
