The School Justice Initiative aims to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline by engaging parents, school staff and administration, lawyers, judges, policymakers, and other experts and stakeholders. The initiative includes school-based behavioral health programming to identify and secure needed in-school supports for children with learning and behavioral challenges. Supported children are more likely to stay in school and less likely to enter the criminal justice system. Another significant School Justice program is Fairness, Advocacy, and Individual Representation (FAIR), which connects children in foster care facing long-term suspension or expulsion with attorneys and trained advocates. Legal representation protects these children's rights, keeps them in school, and increases the opportunity to access necessary behavioral health supports.Our Housing Justice Initiative engages families, landlords, developers, lawyers, judges, policymakers, and other experts and stakeholders to identify and secure needed reforms to improve access to healthy, stable housing for low-income families. Children living in unsafe housing conditions are more likely to suffer from chronic respiratory illnesses, and experience housing instability. These children often change schools, do more poorly on standardized tests, have lower graduation rates, and are at increased risk of juvenile justice and foster care involvement. Recent achievements from our School and Housing Justice Initiatives include:New state laws and policies protecting children from dangerous housing conditions and requiring schools to provide needed support to children in foster care.Expansion of an innovative eviction diversion program that has protected over 3,000 families from homelessness.Training last year for more than 1,250 parents, teachers, case managers, and others across Georgia to be informed and confident advocates for children.Testimony before the U.S. Senate to bring nationwide attention to Georgia's unhealthy, unsafe housing conditions.Ongoing convening of statewide coalitions for housing justice and school justice comprising more than 100 member organizations.377,000 fewer kids suspended from school since our targeted school justice efforts started in 2010.A referral system connecting children in foster care across Georgia with legal support, including representation at school tribunals.Revenues and expenses for School Justice were $349,187 and $667,159. This reflects our programmatic spending in FY2022 of funds from a significant, multi-year grant received and recorded in FY2021. Housing Justice revenues and expenses were $110,000 and $88,309 respectively. 791672 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 false 12 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 32 32 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false GA X X X KATE SWETT 6784264640 1600 PARKWOOD CIR SE SUITE 200 ATLANTA GA 30339 RICHARD M WALLER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 111098 0 14738 ADWOA AWOTWI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON BALLARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY BENTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW BOZZELLI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID BRACKETT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALEX CLAY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAYLOR DALY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH DYER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT EDWARDS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN FLEMING BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD FRANKLIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAULA FREDERICK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN GORDON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARC HOWARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TODD MARKLE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA MCKINNEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER MIDDLETON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EBONY MOBLEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICAH MOON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHONDEANA MORRIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID NAHMIAS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAJ NICHANI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE PRUCINO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RANDI SCHNELL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL SHORTHOUSE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 L CHRIS STEWART BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY STEIGERWALT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARC TAYLOR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADAM OZGO Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CARRIE ZHOU Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC FISHER VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TORI SILAS CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 111098 14738 1 false false false none 0 77352 124187 763591 965130 TRAINING REVENUE 611710 1500 1500 1500 214 214 0 0 0 0 69054 77352 69054 0 0 0 0 966844 1500 214 X 0 0 0 0 154236 116659 23079 14498 0 411777 310940 61834 39003 0 65081 50076 9378 5627 43073 32735 6461 3877 0 0 10400 7904 1560 936 15000 15000 0 0 205451 191601 5852 7998 0 35966 33798 1354 814 0 0 0 7601 7510 57 34 0 0 0 0 2811 2136 422 253 4750 3899 532 319 SUPPLIES 18953 18267 429 257 Printing and Publications 1404 1067 211 126 Postage and Shipping 106 80 16 10 0 976609 791672 111185 73752 922300 1135538 84622 250003 466081 82286 0 0 0 0 0 225 3505 0 0 0 0 10537 7727 0 1483765 1479059 20698 25757 20698 25757 X 597083 890124 865984 563178 1463067 1453302 1483765 1479059 -9765 X false true X true false X 665386 657674 685163 919205 965130 3892558 0 0 665386 657674 685163 919205 965130 3892558 262763 3629795 93 41 120 58 214 526 0 0 3893084 4742 0.93240 0.96160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 15020 15020 776652 791672 143751 35938 false 83163 74350 95232 143751 396496 594744 50158 4317 15020 69495 20791 18588 23808 35938 99125 148688 X 2114210 1147366 1147366 966844 966844 2123975 1147366 1147366 976609 976609 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Georgia Appleseed, Inc. qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is only subject to federal or state income taxes on specific types of income from activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose.
