Kendall Lane Housing Society devotes 85.2% of its revenue to staff compensation — nearly double the 49.5% peer median — because providing supportive housing in Windsor, Nova Scotia, means the staff are the program. With 32 years of continuous registration and $752K in revenue, this is a mature poverty-relief organization whose financial profile is best understood through the lens of its hands-on service model.

Our Verdict: A long-established supportive housing provider with strong governance and adequate reserves, though donors should understand that the unusually high compensation ratio reflects the staffing-intensive nature of residential care rather than a red flag.
