During the fiscal year, more than 76,479 hot meals were provided , and 7,820 meals were provided to the center for respite care residents. Greater cincinnati behavioral health services provides onsite counseling and placement services to assist our program guests to receive treatment for chemical dependency and mental health.

Individuals living unsheltered can develop serious foot problems from the cold, wet footwear, and difficulty maintaining foot hygiene. This is also a means to connect and engage with individuals one-to-one, to help disrupt their isolation and connect with other services they may need to successfully transition to shelter and a home.

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 2020 to 2021, from $11M to $12M (+16%).
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: 2020 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
42% 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 ST FRANCIS SERAPH MINISTRIES.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $293k 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.
