What Mountainlands Community Housing Associat does
Mission
Mountainlands Community Housing Association's (mcha) purpose is based on the belief that a safe affordable home is often a family's first step toward economic self-sufficiency. Mcha addresses the dual problems of housing affordability and availability on three fronts: acquisition and new construction of affordable housing, direct assistance in securing housing and needed basic services, and education and advocacy to promote housing policy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Last year, mountainlands continued work the parkview place subdivision in heber city, a 49-lot subdivision. The subdivision constists of 13 single family, 30 townhomes and 6 duplex units. All of which will be sold as affordable housing. We continue to make progress as we completed and sold a duplex unit subject to deed restrictions. Work has begun on finishing the common space landscaping as well as the next 6 townhomes.
$1,543,096 spent40% of program spendingSince august 2022, mountainlands launched its community-based housing resource center (hrc) with a twofold purpose: (1) to coordinate and focus community support for affordable housing; and (2) to serve as a one-stop-shop to assist people in identifying and obtaining housing. The center was staffed initially by two full-time positions: a housing advocate with a focus on community organizing and advocacy work; and a bilingual housing navigator with an aim of connecting residents, particularly underserved lower-income latinx households, to affordable housing opportunities. The hrc continues to help the workforce navigate housing options, increasing the count on the pcmc waitlist by 36. Helped 12 families apply to habitat for humanity ownership program and 6 families apply for crown rent to own. The current hike in interest rates has become a barrier to firs time homebuyers causing a noticeable decrease in applicants. The hrc provided 6 individuals and 18 families with education on debt to income, credit - how to start growing and maintaining a good credit score, budgeting to prepare for home ownership understanding how interest rates affect buying power, credit card usage and how to…
$1,234,475 spent$2,580,411 earned by the program32% of program spendingThe mutual self-help housing program is a usda/rural development program sponsored by mountainlands for low-income to very low-income families to achieve the dream of home ownership through "sweat equity". During the fiscal year 4 homes were completed in francis but the self help program saw funding at the federal level cut, which caused delays in closing the next group of participants. That group of participants closed on their loans at the beginning of july and work has begun on 6 townhomes in the parkview place development in heber city. These are scheduled to be completed next summer. The next group of self-help participants have submitted their applications. Due to the funding cuts, we do not expect these homes to be funded until next spring

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 2021 to 2022, from $24M to $31M (+28%).
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 37% · 2018 41% · 2019 23% · 2020 9% · 2021 15% · 2022 16% · 2023 7% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
21% of MOUNTAINLANDS COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIAT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (72% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $58k → $1.6M.
6 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
MOUNTAINLANDS COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIAT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% 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 MOUNTAINLANDS COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIAT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 34% · 2018 46% · 2019 42% · 2020 44% · 2021 45% · 2022 72% · 2023 76% — growing more concentrated.
“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
57% of MOUNTAINLANDS COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIAT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 72% 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
83% of MOUNTAINLANDS COMMUNITY HOUSING ASSOCIAT'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 $420k that is directly attributable, 73% of it comes from funders outside Utah, across 9 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
