Programs
Housing and shelter program - micah's housing and shelter program strives to meet the immediate and long-term shelter and permanent housing needs of people experiencing homelessness. This department offers two overnight winter shelter locations (a 37-bed facility and a 20-bed facility) and a 14-room transitional hotel-shelter. These temporary shelter spaces are in addition to coordinating efforts to move the chronically homeless off the street and into permanent housing units. Program goals include shortening the length of shelter stays, decreasing the number of people who are chronically homeless and reducing returns to homelessness.

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 $3.9M to $5.0M (+27%).
How it's funded, over time

99% 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 MICAH ECUMENICAL MINISTRIES INC.
