Transition House Coalition of Northumberland is a charitable organization based in Cobourg, Ontario, classified by the CRA under organizations relieving poverty. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $1M in revenue and $1.4M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 93% from government, 5% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 9 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $73K.
Compared with 1,618 poverty-relief institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 72% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $80,000–119,999 range. The charity reported 14 permanent full-time positions.
Revenue has grown substantially over its filings on record here, from $568K in 2020 to $1M in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
In its own words
Transition House responds directly to homelessness in Northumberland County by providing emergency housing with the goal of moving people to safe accessible affordable housing. Transition House provides transitional housing to singles at the shelter site and provided housing to families through the motel program. An off-site emergency hub was opened through the winter/spring of 2024 to provide shelter from the cold and warm meals to the homeless.
