About Jeremiah Program

Jeremiah Program is a national nonprofit headquartered in Minneapolis that works to disrupt the cycle of poverty for single mothers and their children through a two-generation model built around housing, early childhood education, empowerment, and career-track support. Its first campus opened in Minneapolis in 1998, later expanded to St. Paul, and now includes a Fargo-Moorhead residential campus as part of its broader national footprint.

Across the Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Fargo-Moorhead campuses, the organization supports families through safe and affordable housing paired with on-site child development and wraparound services. That mission creates a complex operational environment: campus teams need systems that hold up under affordable housing rules, finance scrutiny, and day-to-day program management at the same time.

For Jeremiah Program, this engagement was about making Yardi Breeze Affordable dependable enough to support the mission without forcing staff to work around configuration and accounting issues every week.

The Challenge

Jeremiah Program was balancing several high-priority workstreams inside one Breeze Affordable environment. The team needed to finish Fargo testing and go-live, configure Minneapolis-St. Paul programs, and build a cleaner compliance foundation for LIHTC and HUD reporting. Those needs were intertwined with finance and reporting questions that could not be solved in isolation.

  • Complete Fargo testing and go-live without carrying known setup issues into production
  • Configure Minneapolis and St. Paul affordable housing programs to match real operating rules across campuses
  • Set up income limits, tax credit structures, and tenant qualification workflows that reflected state-specific requirements
  • Resolve charge code issues, A/R balance problems, and security deposit accounting cleanup inside the live environment
  • Give leadership a clearer path to external reporting by improving how Breeze data could be extracted and interpreted

This was not a single-module cleanup. Jeremiah Program needed compliance logic, accounting corrections, and practical operating guidance to come together in one coordinated support effort.

The BC Solutions Approach

BC Solutions supported Jeremiah Program through a hands-on working-session model led by Angie Cheek with support from Tawni Boyland. Over 55.75 logged hours between November 2025 and April 2026, the team combined weekly coordination with focused configuration, cleanup, and reporting work so campus and finance stakeholders could make progress without losing momentum between meetings.

The Results

Instead of treating Fargo go-live, Twin Cities configuration, and finance corrections as disconnected issues, BC Solutions helped the organization move them forward as one coordinated operating foundation.

Why It Matters

The Jeremiah Program engagement shows what affordable housing consulting looks like when the real work lives at the intersection of compliance, accounting, and mission delivery. For nonprofit operators, getting the setup right is only part of the job. The system also has to make sense for the teams who rely on it every day.

Affordable housing support has to bridge compliance and finance.

LIHTC and HUD reporting do not live in isolation from charge codes, receivables, or deposit accounting. Jeremiah Program needed those pieces corrected together so reporting outputs could become more trustworthy.

Multi-campus nonprofits need state-aware configuration, not generic setup.

The workflows that worked for Fargo could not simply be copied into Minneapolis and St. Paul without considering different program rules, qualification steps, and campus operations. BC Solutions helped tailor the setup to the way the organization actually works.

Weekly working sessions keep stabilization projects moving.

Rather than relying on a one-time implementation push, Jeremiah Program benefited from an ongoing cadence of meetings, issue review, and targeted fixes. That rhythm made it easier to address both immediate blockers and longer-term configuration decisions.

Mission-driven organizations still need rigorous reporting foundations.

The collaboration with Jeremiah Program's data strategy leadership showed that reporting needs quickly expand beyond basic system setup. Building a stronger Breeze foundation now gives the organization a better base for future external reporting and decision-making.
