What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Many California residents face a number of challenges in maintaining housing due to the lack of affordable housing, the high cost of living in the area and low vacancy rates. The scarcity of affordable housing (paying no more than 30% of income towards rent) is evident, where the majority of residents must pay a larger portion of income on housing costs alone. For people who lose their housing, navigating the services available and actively addressing the root barriers to long-term stable housing can be overwhelming. We help people create a plan and take the steps to achieve their goals that result in housing.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our goals include:
- Serving 5,000 people annually with wrap-around services
- Increase contract and philanthropic revenue to serve 5,000
- Grow organically and through mergers & acquisitions

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

1) Expand and formalize our Employment Services programs to offer workforce development to the community
2) Develop mental and behavioral health expertise for internal service delivery through a robust internship program.
3) Expand and the demographics we serve with programs that serve domestic violence survivors and transitional age youth, as well as into new geographies.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

SHELTER, Inc. has over 34 years of experience successfully serving at-risk and homeless families and individuals. SHELTER, Inc. has continued to evolve to meet the complex, changing needs of homeless and at-risk residents. Today, SHELTER, Inc. offers a comprehensive, integrated system of services which includes homeless prevention, emergency shelter, rapid rehousing and permanent affordable housing, with specialized services for families, veterans, the re-entry population, seniors and those who are chronically homeless.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Last year, SHELTER, Inc. reached more than 20,000 clients in three counties, serving more than 3,500 with wrap-around services to maintain or gain housing. In 2019 we added a programmatic shelter in Solano County, and in 2020 began serving the River District of Sacramento with a shelter for chronically homeless adults. As a result of the pandemic, the Agency operated two Project Roomkey shelters for the most vulnerable to COVID-19 in non-congregate living during shelter-in-place orders. Additionally, SHELTER, Inc. rapidly implemented emergency rental assistance at the onset of the pandemic, awarding nearly $500,000 in philanthropic dollars to vulnerable households over the course of 6 short weeks, months before the government was able to allocate rental assistance.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 04/07/2021

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
