What Walla Walla Alliance for the Homeless does
Mission
Our mission is to provide safe/secure low-barrier shelter and food to any adult in need in the Walla Walla region. Our hope is to build upon this foundation to stabilize people's lives while helping them to become self-sufficient. We do this through caring and proactive peer-support services: providing compassion, collaboration, classes, training, and connection to the local service providers and benefits that are available to them.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Walla Walla Sleep Center - Low Barrier Sleep Center: In collaboration with the City of Walla Walla, the Alliance offers a low-barrier Sleep Center for adults experiencing homelessness. The Sleep Center consists of 38 hard-sided shelters for individuals or couples, an overflow room for single men, indoor toilets and showers, caseworker and staff offices, a climate-controlled gathering room for meetings and where meals donated by the community are served. We also manage a transitional shelter program with 10 units that include heat, AC, and electricity. There are many things that most of us take for granted that are simply not available to those who are homeless. The Alliance worked to provide many of those items to residents during 2024: Toiletries: We provide soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, hygiene products, sunscreen, over the counter pain relievers, first aid supplies, and like items free of charge. Showers: We provide showers seven days per week through a resident led program. This allows our residents to engage with the community they are living in and allows for skills development at the same time. An address: If you are homeless, how can you…

We continue to see great success through our efforts. We have high levels of engagement from residents in camp and we continue to offer supportive services to those housed. Through 2024, we have helped people move out of shelter and into better situations more than 200 times, averaging nearly 40 people per year.
$15,213 spent3% of program spendingThe Mobile Outreach Services Team (MOST): Through a collaborative project with Providence Population Health and Blue Mountain Action Council we provide mobile access to our support services to any homeless or vulnerable individual in our community. The use of our mobile RV based office creates a space to meet people where they are. This means access to medical/wound care, connection to primary medical care, and our full suite of peer-based support at various locations throughout the community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2020 to 2021, from $287k to $428k (+49%).
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 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
34% of WALLA WALLA ALLIANCE FOR THE HOMELESS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (37% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year

2 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

WALLA WALLA ALLIANCE FOR THE HOMELESS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
58% 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 WALLA WALLA ALLIANCE FOR THE HOMELESS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 65% · 2020 45% · 2021 73% · 2022 82% · 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.
How long its funders stay
60% of WALLA WALLA ALLIANCE FOR THE HOMELESS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
55% of WALLA WALLA ALLIANCE FOR THE HOMELESS'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 $198k that is directly attributable, 71% of it comes from Washington funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $244k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
