My Nonprofit Reviews

What can be said of a charity with 23 million dollars in net assets? With it's 262 employees, the Compass Housing Alliance is good at providing jobs for social workers, not helping the homeless. Compass raises a little over 2 million dollars from the public, but spends over 400 thousand on fundraising in order to do it. The rest of their income comes from the government. Compass pays out nearly 5 million dollars in wages. The organization carries almost 2 million dollars in savings and cash investments. At a time when so many are turned away from services, it seems odd a charity would keep 2 million dollars on hand. What is most disturbing is the over 2 million dollars Compass charges the homeless in program and rental fees. Conclusions: the Compass Housing Alliance- good for the economy, no friend of the homeless.
