What Phocused does
Mission
Advocacy for vulnerable populations and the health and human services sector.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
In the fiscal year ending in 6/30/18, Phocused's major program was the administration of the coordinated entry system for families experiencing homelessness. In this program, Phocused served as the pilot administrator for the hud-mandated ces system, matching and referring homeless families to available housing resources and working with the provider community to refine and amend the system while growing the number of participating programs in the coordinated system. In this program, Phocused referred 840 families and placed into housing 253 families with over 500 children. Regarding our advocacy program: in the 2018 legislative session, Phocused and its peers secured the largest homelessness programs funding ever, as well as the historic level of funding for affordable housing, addressing the twin crises of hawaii's most vulnerable populations. All hawaiians in need of these homelessness services and affordable housing are beneficiaries of our advocacy work.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $146k to $91k (−37%).
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 62% · 2018 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
