What Pathways Shelter for the Homeless does
Mission
Pathway's mission is to serve the immediate needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness within the yankton area while engaging partners in developing long term solutions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Emergency shelter: pathways provides emergency shelter to individuals and families experiencing homelessness within a 60-mile radius of yankton. When a person is provided emergency shelter they are also given food, hygiene products, and other necessities free of charge. The shelter provides a warm and safe place to sleep while providing resources to help people get back on their feet. Case management: the case manager provides direct services to all pathways clients who are in-shelter. This includes the creation of goals and working to complete those goals, connecting with local resources to help them complete their goals, providing transportation when necessary, and following up to prevent clients from "falling through the cracks".
$612,183 spent59% of program spendingEmergency solutions: rent and deposit assistance can be provided to those that are facing homelessness, or may face homelessness in the near future. The deposit assistance is to acquire shelter and to provide a deposit for utilities. This program can also assist people with past utility bills that will need to be paid before getting utilities in a new place. The funding for this program comes from the emergency solutions grant (esg).

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 2020 to 2021, from $406k to $1.2M (+199%).
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 18% · 2018 41% · 2019 34% · 2020 39% · 2021 56% · 2022 47% · 2023 25% · 2024 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
85% 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 PATHWAYS SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 74% · 2023 57% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $74k 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.
