OVERVIEW
About Casey House:
Casey House is a 4-star charity with an above average results reporting grade. It is financially transparent and its overhead costs are within Ci's reasonable range for overhead spending.
Founded in 1988, Casey House (CH) is the only stand-alone hospital for people with HIV/AIDS in Toronto. CH provides judgement-free medical care and social support tailored to HIV-positive individuals. Statistically speaking, 2-3 Ontarians are diagnosed with HIV every day. Casey House focuses on caring for HIV-positive people through integrated health care and reducing HIV stigma. In F2021, Casey House cared for 400 patients (down from 409 in F2020). CH programs include three streams of health services: Inpatient Care, a Day Health program and Community Care. It also runs research, education for service providers, and advocacy programs. The charity does not provide a breakdown of its spending on its programs.
Day Health supports clients Monday to Friday through one-on-one care and group sessions led by an interdisciplinary clinical team. It connects patients with resources intended to improve their quality of life such as access to hot lunches or substance use workers. In F2021, 150 Day Health clients received 120 hours of phone calls to connect and 110 hours more from peers delivering food packages.
Strategic Initiatives include harm reduction services, advocacy efforts, and planning for supervised consumption services. In F2021, CH assembled and distributed 94,268 free safer injection, inhalation and crystal meth pipe kits to clients and members of the public (72% increase from F2020).
Peer Program offers peer mentoring for its clients in its health services. It pairs individuals with lived experience with clients who could benefit from additional one-on-one support regarding different aspects of living with HIV. In F2021, CH's clients received a total of 1,275 hours of peer support from 11 individuals, including 26 Day Health clients who received 461 hours of support from nine peers.

Results and Impact
Casey House was involved in the publication of a third-party evaluation, Health care utilization in medically complex people living with HIV before and after admission to an HIV-specific community facility: a pre–post comparison study. The study reviewed pre-post outcomes of 268 people living with HIV who were admitted to Casey House between 2009 and 2015. The study found that emergency department use declined from 4.6 to 2.5 visits per person-year after discharge from CH, and hospitalization rates declined from 1.4 to 1.1 admissions per person-year.
Casey House was involved in five peer-reviewed research publications in F2021. CH also reported that 88% of those who watched the re-written episodes of Friends and The Office designed to reduce HIV stigma felt more empathetic to people living with HIV.

Finances

All donations from the public are received by Casey House Foundation. The Foundation had donations and special events revenue of $5.7m in F2021. CH received $9.4m in government funding, representing 57% of total revenues. Administrative costs are 10% of revenues and fundraising costs are 12% of donations. This results in total overhead spending of 21%. For every $1 donated, 79 cents go to the cause. This is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending.
Casey House and its Foundation hold $15.5m in funding reserves, of which $6.5m is donor-endowed. Excluding donor-endowed funds, CH could run its programs for just under a year with current funding reserves.
