Programs
Emergency service programspine street inn's emergency service programs provide 100% of boston's adult homeless street outreach and one of the largest single shares of emergency shelter beds in boston. In fy25, we provided shelter and street outreach services to over 5,000 individuals, including enhanced services in one shelter to respond to the needs of people with opioid use disorder. The program goal is first to preserve life safety for all who need it and, through assessment and strategic housing placement services, help and educate individuals on the processes and resources available to move from the street and shelter to permanent housing as quickly as possible and ultimately prevent chronic homelessness.
$34,755,105 spent44% of program spendingPermanent supportive housingpine street's supportive housing program provides the largest single share of permanent housing dedicated to homeless individuals in the city. The goal of the program is to ensure that individuals with a long history of homelessness have a permanent home and gain greater levels of self-sufficiency over time through individual service plans. The program encompasses more than 1,100 units of housing and the clinical support services needed to stabilize chronically homeless and disabled individuals in that housing. In fy25, pine street's housing program supported 1,188 individuals in housing with 98% of those individuals retaining their housing. Forty-one tenants reached self-sufficiency and moved on from psi's supportive housing to independent community-based living. This created an opportunity to offer housing to 41 new tenants within our existing housing portfolio.

In fy25, 350 individuals from the street and shelter were housed through these services.

For individuals with more complex housing barriers, rapid rehousing services provide housing search, income maximization, placement and community-based stabilization services. For chronically homeless individuals, a special housing navigation team works in conjunction with the city of boston continuum of care to engage and match individuals with the availability of permanent supportive housing.

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 2022 to 2023, from $154M to $189M (+23%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 134 funders to 265 funders, grant income rose $3.4M → $11M.
44 of 534 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 45% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of PINE STREET INN INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 534 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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 concentrated its funding is
PINE STREET INN INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 23% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
48% 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 PINE STREET INN INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 23% · 2019 26% · 2020 18% · 2021 23% · 2022 23% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“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
56% of PINE STREET INN INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
86% of PINE STREET INN INC's grant income comes from Massachusetts funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45M arriving through sponsors registered in 23 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.
