Non Profit Status and Organizational Focus:

Charlie's 3/4 House, Inc., a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, focuses solely on providing transitional housing for alcoholic men in the early stages of recovery.

 

Transitional Housing Defined:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in 1993, defined Transitional Housing as “. . . supportive housing in which homeless persons live for up to 24 months (or a longer period I meeting the criteria )and receives supportive services that enable them to live more independently.

The supportive services may be provided by the organization managing the housing or coordinated by the organization and provided by other public or private agencies.”   HUD, Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs

 

Percentage of Contributions Used for Resident Benefits:

One hundred percent {100%) of all donations received into creating an environment within our housing to help these men return to full, productive and sober lives. By way of explanation of how we are able to maintain such a level, led by our Board of Trustees, Charlie’s largely exists as a result of  the of a number of volunteers committed to our purpose mission and goals.

 

Charlie’s employs one full time trained professional as the Director of Operations.  This position is supported in large part by a cadre of volunteers who feely give of their time and energy to assist Charlie's works towards fulfilling its mission and purpose.  Most volunteers are successful professionals from the community, either still active or recently retired from their specific fields of expertise. As such, each is well suited to the role they fill within the organization.

 

Sources of Revenue

Our sources of revenue and the corresponding percentage of total revenue for each source are as follows:

• 81% - Resident Rental Income
• 4% - Vending machine Income
• 4% - Alumni Group Donations
• 11% - Outside Contributions

We charge our residents very little in monthly rent to help them get back on their feet financially; therefore we rely heavily on your donations to help us provide adequate housing for the residents. 

 

Fund Raising Responsibilities

Fund raising is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees and from which a committee is selected to plan and execute fund raising strategies and activities for Charlie’s.  This is an all volunteer effort and the costs associated with this function are generally donated to Charlie’s by the members of the committee 

 

We continue to be  very fortunate in having a large group of men over the years freely volunteer their time, energy and expertise both working with our residents as well as handle many of the operational and administrative functions necessary to insure our doors stay open to those in need.

 

Summary

Again, 100% of all contributions to Charlie’s ¾ House are applied directly to programs and/or improvements at Charlie’s that directly that benefit our residents.
