What Omaha Shelter for Homeless Trust does
Mission
The purpose of the Organization is to work in conjunction with other agencies in the City of Omaha to provide housing and other essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness and to work toward their rehabilitation so that they may become productive members of society.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2024, the Organization ceased operations.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The Organization was contracted by the Siena Francis House (SFH) to serve as the principal representative of SFH relating to the fundraising, design and construction of a new homeless shelter. As pledges receivable were recorded for this project, an offsetting contributions payable and grant expense were also recorded relating to the current and future design construction costs of the project. The project was completed in 2021. Amounts since that time were provided for a maintenance fund for the Siena Francis House.

The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $3,159.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2019 to 2020, from $12M to $4.3M (−64%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
