What Unity House of Cayuga County Inc does
Mission
Unity house's mission is to empower and enrich the lives of people in recovery, coping with a mental illness, and/or diagnosed with a developmental disability. This is accomplished by offering supports and services in an inclusive, person-centered environment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Residential services: at unity house, we believe that everyone deserves a place where they belong. Healthy food, sound sleep and social connection are basic needs that must be met for people to thrive. That's why we provide residential services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, people recovering from mental illness, and people recovering from substance use disorder. Each person's individualized residential plan is designed to maximize their autonomy while ensuring that they get the support they need to thrive. Staff help residents gain life skills, strengthen relationships, maintain health, stay safe and participate in activities that improve their wellbeing. Those with the greatest needs may live in a congregate residence with support staff on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Those who need less support may live in a non-certified apartment with regular staff check-ins.

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 $13M to $18M (+37%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
46% 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 UNITY HOUSE OF CAYUGA COUNTY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 85% · 2019 63% · 2020 53% · 2021 30% · 2022 31% · 2023 64% — 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. $34k 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.
