Individuals achieve freedom from and chemical dependency and help enable them to transition into community life. The program works closely within the existing law enforcement and system. They rely heavily on the religious and established recovery groups and agencies. A major program tool is closely managed and supervision of individual time of its enrollees. Many of which are either required to work within the program or facing incarceration within the justice system. The program averages enrollment of over 7,000 individual annually. Successful completion of the eighteen month program is generally small and will see many persons enroll multiple times.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2021 to 2022, from $2.5M to $2.8M (+15%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 TLC TRANSITIONAL LIVING COMMUNITIES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 98% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
