Programs
A way home for tulsa (awh4t) housing solutions leads a way home for tulsa (awh4t) in providing community planning and support for the collective response needed to effectively implement strategies for a system-wide approach to preventing and ending homelessness. Awh4t and its 60+ participating organizations work together to implement strategies to house people experiencing homelessness and support those at risk of homelessness from losing their housing. As the lead agency for awh4t, housing solutions monitors data and outcomes, and research and advances evidence-based solutions. Housing solutions also manages the local process for the annual hud continuum of care (coc) program grant competition, and oversight and technical assistance for grant recipients. Housing solutions led the coc to house a record number of people experiencing homelessness, launched a new justice initiative program focused on housing justice-involved individuals, and worked in the homelessness prevention space to stop homelessness before it starts.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $1.7M to $5.1M (+205%).
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 7% · 2021 24% · 2022 44% · 2023 24% · 2024 35% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $215k → $557k.
4 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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 THE CENTER FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS INC’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
THE CENTER FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
79% 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 THE CENTER FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 25% · 2022 28% · 2023 57% — 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.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
