What Shelter Housing Corporation D/B/A the Bridge Home does
Mission
We walk with those who have fallen on hard times to help them find hope and a home.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
We served 780 individuals with 10,285 nights of shelter. Funding for shelter services continues to contract in favor of funding permanent supportive housing, which meant that we were able to shelter fewer clients for fewer days. We did, however, reduce our average days from homeless to housed to 22 days, which is 31% faster than our 30-day goal. 94% of shelter clients did not have to repeat a stay within a 12-month period, and 96% of clients exited our programs housed.
$926,794 spentof which $588,328 as grants55% of program spendingWith the assistance of a story county american rescue plan act grant, we purchased and renovated an 8-unit apartment building. Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, it opened to house eight households, including 13 individuals, in safe affordable housing. Next year you will be able to read about a new apartment building that we have built over the course of this fiscal year primarily with the help of the national housing trust fund and the federal home loan bank. This building will be used to provide an additional 18 units of very low income housing to story county iowa.
$346,968 spent20% of program spendingSince july of 2023, we have housed 816 individuals through our rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing programs. This has allowed us to reduce total nights of shelter provided, because we were able to move households to housing 30% faster than our goal of 30 days. During their time in our programs, 41% of clients showed positive income progress.
$409,820 spent24% of program spendingWith an increase in funding, we have been able to increase our outreach services. We had 519 encounters with individuals experiencing homelessness. These encoungers happened either during regular hours at public libraries or out in parks, along creeks or rivers, in wooded areas, or other places where people camp. We provided invitations to come into shelter, along with referrals to other services in our area. We also provided food, clothing, and equipment to help people stay safe during extremely hot or cold weather. We recognize that it is always a person's choice to accept or reject our assistance, but persistence does pay off. We had a client that had been banned from our shelter for threatening behavior come apologize, and re-establish a relationship with us, which led not only to the person being housed, but then serving as an outreach liaison to other people experiencing homelessness.

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 2023 to 2024, from $3.6M to $8.0M (+124%).

96% 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 SHELTER HOUSING CORPORATION D/B/A THE BRIDGE HOME.

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
68% of SHELTER HOUSING CORPORATION D/B/A THE BRIDGE HOME'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 $1.0M that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from Iowa funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
