Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Many people who are trying to get clean from addictions, no matter what they might be, struggle to find housing. They might struggle because they cannot afford to pay rent at an apartment, and they have no family that can help them with a place to stay. These men are in need of a place that they can go where they feel safe and secure, and a place that will give them support as they work to stay clean and sober.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to supply men in recovery from addiction a place to stay. We want to give them structure and accountability to help them stay sober from what ever addiction they are coming clean from.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We are connected through parole officers, and other such agencies, to alert men of the availability of space available at any of our houses. We hold the men accountable to going to meetings and staying clean and sober. We give them rules and make sure that they stick to them so that they have the best chance possible to stay on the straight and narrow.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have 7 houses that we own around the city of Davenport. Each home has beds for them men to be able to rent for a decent price. Our houses have house managers that help to hold the men accountable for the things they are supposed to be doing. All of the men who come in under our care must sign a contract outlining the expectations of them, and us. House managers hold house meetings every month to talk about anything that has come up, and new information from us at the office. In turn, the house managers and individuals from the office hold manager meetings to make sure that things are running smoothly between all the houses. Every person who we accept is treated just like everyone else.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Almost all of the men who have come through Unity House of Davenport have gained their sobriety and are now living full lives. Some of these men have been able to reconnect with family and friends, who then become a wonderful support system for them. We have done many things over the years to help these men to see they are cared about, and their lives to matter to someone. This is a continual endeavor that we will never give up on.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
