By providing legal services to low-wage workers, the Heartland Center assists workers who would otherwise go without representation. These cases also hold abusive companies accountable for gross misconduct, and help deter abuse. The Heartland Center provides no-cost legal advice to tenants on housing issues, and represents tenants who have been sued for eviction in Jackson County. In 2021, the organization established a program that will keep more than 1,000 tenants housed each year. Over 400 calls per month from low-wage workers and tenants in crisis were handled in 2021. The Heartland Center understands that lawyers acting alone cannot produce the change our country needs. History teaches us that social movements - masses of ordinary people uniting for change - hold transformative power. The Heartland Center supports movements to improves wages and working conditions, overcome racial divisions, and ensure low-wage workers have a voice on the job and at the ballot box. 0 0 0 382349 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 X Gina Chiala 8165857786 4044 Central St Kansas City MO 64111 Carol Smith President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Donna Simon Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Chekasha Ramsey Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Robert Swearingen Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Quiema Spencer Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Axel Fuentes Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Lois Swimmer Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gina Chiala Executive Director 40 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 124000 0 14903 0 21000 263857 0 423760 Legal Fees 541100 145857 145857 0 0 Tenant Eviction Services 541100 59869 59869 0 0 Fees For Service 900099 1072 0 0 1072 0 0 0 0 206798 25 0 0 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4600 0 0 0 4600 0 4600 0 0 4600 0 0 2175 14903 1209 966 0 966 Unemployment Tax Adjustment 900099 874 0 0 874 0 0 0 0 874 637023 205726 0 7537 X 0 278460 238011 36362 4087 22714 21888 413 413 21385 18087 2976 322 13764 13764 2000 2000 48575 48575 0 0 29 29 15006 2906 12100 12687 10823 1864 32975 25660 7315 265 265 0 0 660 104 407 149 4608 4608 Legal Work Expenses 2266 2266 0 0 Prior Year Payroll Tax Correction 126 0 126 0 455520 382349 68200 4971 231199 365460 48202 231199 413662 10000 10000 21000 7788 29748 38788 39748 X 192411 373914 0 0 192411 373914 231199 413662 181503 0 0 0 0 0 X X 0 0 0 X 87268 46637 31871 153350 423760 742886 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87268 46637 31871 153350 423760 742886 228946 513940 15 20 25 26 25 111 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 874 874 743871 580026 0.69090 1 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2021: Missouri Unemployment tax adjustment from prior period Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 2021: 1,945 miscellaneous income; 4,600 rental income; 2,175 special event income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 497 0 497 0 Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1 The organization participated in demonstrations and rallies to advocate for the Right To Counsel program to prevent evictions and provide free legal assistance and support to individuals and families. 0 Client Trust Liability 29748 29748 HCJF Fundraiser 17078 14903 2175 0 0 634 75 500 0 0 0 17078 14903 2175 0 0 634 75 500 0 1209 966 1 KC Tenants 4526 Paseo Blvd Kansas City MO 64110 845137189 501(c)(3) 48575 0 Actual cost Shared grant funds The Heartland Center hired KC Tenants to partner on a project aimed at educating the public, public officials, and community stakeholders around issues of affordable housing, substandard housing conditions, and the eviction crisis. 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 The Heartland Center has a written agreement with KC Tenants, outlining that all expenditures related to the grant funds must be spent in accordance with the project budget unless written authorization is given.
