What Steps to Recovery Homes does
Mission
Provide safe, clean and structured environments to educate and assist individuals to obtain long-term recovery and embrace a purpose in their life.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
During 2023 we reopened the resale store "miracles happen resale store boutique rehab" with new branding and a fresh new look. We finished the upstairs build out and moved into our administrative offices. We opened our event center "connection room and we were able to get contracted with different insurance providers. Which allowed us to be reimbursed for the client services we provided at our outpatient treatment center "konnect wellness center". We revamped our job development and started using emotional intelligence curriculums to help our clients. We opened our therapy and programs up to community clients that were not living in our homes. We secured some grants and obtained our new transit bus from an adot grant. We started settling in with our new programs and working on filling holes in hopes of streamlining our services.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $1.2M to $4.1M (+245%).
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: 2019 16% · 2020 1% · 2021 28% · 2022 37% · 2023 12% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
33% of STEPS TO RECOVERY HOMES’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $0 → $68k.
6 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 60% 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 STEPS TO RECOVERY HOMES’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
STEPS TO RECOVERY HOMES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
95% 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 STEPS TO RECOVERY HOMES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 56% · 2021 95% · 2022 33% · 2023 37% — 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
60% of STEPS TO RECOVERY HOMES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
60% of STEPS TO RECOVERY HOMES'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 $248k that is directly attributable, 98% of it comes from Arizona funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $370k 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.
