What Mat-Su Youth Housing does
Mission
Youth experiencing homelessness, and youth at risk of becoming homeless, are empowered to be contributing, self-supporting members of their community. We provide safe shelter and wrap-around services for youth with a hand-up not a hand-out philosophy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Below are some of my house's achievements as of fye 12/31/2024: enrolled 146 new clients and served a total of 312 unique individuals with case management, and wrap-around services including food, clothing, showers and laundry. This is all done with a staff of one full-time and one part- time case manager, one full-time navigator and two support staff that includes a housing case manager who coordinates vouchers and helps with moves to transitional housing. We have served a total of 1,224 youth since inception. We ended the year with 32 beds of transitional client housing. Specialized house designations provide a safe place for clients who identify as lgbtq+, parents with children, survivors of domestic violence and those who report having been trafficked. My house is preparing to open the first of its kind in alaska 3.1 residential facility for youth aged 18-25 who experience co-occurring disorders. This program will open its doors january 2025 and will have a 9 -bed capacity. This is the direct result of 63% of our enrollments this year having co-occurring disorders. We provided 1,511 meals through our monday- friday supper club, available to youth within the 14-25 age range.…

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 $1.8M to $4.0M (+124%).
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: 2020 62% · 2021 0% · 2022 81% · 2023 84% · 2024 81%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of MAT-SU YOUTH HOUSING’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 7 funders, grant income fell $242k → $87k.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 MAT-SU YOUTH HOUSING’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
MAT-SU YOUTH HOUSING leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% 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
82% 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 MAT-SU YOUTH HOUSING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 76% · 2018 42% · 2019 75% · 2020 79% · 2021 64% · 2022 72% · 2023 37% — 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 MAT-SU YOUTH HOUSING's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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 MAT-SU YOUTH HOUSING's grant income comes from Alaska funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M 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.
