What started out as a banner year for number of guests turned out to be quite the opposite. The program and service accomplishments that Villa made during 2020 would have to be noted as keeping its mission of hospitality and community alive and well offering safe, comfortable, convenient and affordable housing to the international scientists, scholars, doctors and other healthcare professionals who were working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Emory Universitys Rollins School of Public Health and its various hospitals in Atlanta.The biggest news in 2020, or course, was the Covid 19 virus and all its ramifications. The good news Villa not only survived the pandemic, the lock-down, the closing of the US borders and international flights, the cancelling of classes and room bookings, research cut short, diplomatic evacuation flights, postponed ceremonies, social distancing, masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, shortage of paper goods, diligent cleaning, zooming, isolation, quarantining, lives put on hold, swab testing, hours of elevator music waiting to make vaccination appointments, endless news on the number of new cases, hospitalizations and deaths, vaccines, and finally the virus itself but Villa emerged strong and focused on the future. And there were NO cases of the virus with the guests or the staff.Along with most of the world, Villa suffered economically because of the Covid 19 pandemic. Since 80% of Villas operating budget comes from guest room rentals, the closing of international borders, schools and institutions caused a dramatic drop in Villas occupancy, and immediately affected its bottom line. On March 1, 2020, Villa had 47 guests from 24 countries. By the end of March, the numbers had dropped to 28 guests from 17 countries. By June only 18 guests from 10 countries remained. August 1, Villa hit its lowest number of guests with only 16 guests from 9 countries. From the beginning of September until the Humphrey Fellows arrived in early December, the numbers stayed consistently between 23 and 24 guests each night. By the end of December, the number of guests had risen to 28.During January and February 2020, Villa housed over of its entire individual guest count of the year - 88 guests from 38 countries. The total number of guests for all of 2020 was a meager 140 from 47 countries a drop from the norm of 500 guests per year from 100 countries. The bed count for the year dropped by almost 6,000 down from 15,656 in 2019 to only 9,739 in 2020. The monthly occupancy rate for rooms fell from a high of 92% in January (with 73 guests) to a low of 45% in August (with 21 guests). Total rental revenues dropped from $353,162 in 2019 to $217,925 in 2020 a loss of over $135,000 or by nearly 40% of Villas 2019 rental income and $164,000 less than budgeted for 2020. How did Villa handle the loss?Because Villa was granted a Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) loan of $44,600, no staff cuts were made. Two part-time housekeepers had resigned before the pandemic and Villas dedicated Director of Development had already announced his retirement as of April 15. These 3 vacancies were not filled. Once the PPP loan was exhausted in September, voluntary reductions in pay or hours by the staff allowed for a smooth continuation of work. The budget was trimmed and expenses were held to a minimum.Villa depends on donations for the other 20% of its budget and all capital expenses. Because large gatherings during the pandemic were not allowed, Villas two traditional fundraisers, the Mothers Day Tea and the Viva Villa International Wine and Cheese Tasting and Auction were cancelled as face-to-face events. A virtual Tea Party was held on the Saturday before Mothers Day and Villas Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, patrons, sponsors and friends were invited to contribute to a Viva Villa non-event and challenged to a matching grant - which combined, grossed a generous $68,000.Meanwhile, the Board of Directors continued its work on the Strategic Plan for Sustainability and Succession which addresses upcoming changes in leadership and staffing. A timeline for changes was passed at the virtual Fall meeting of the Board, along with a Pandemic Plan to focus on best-case, moderate-case and worst-case scenarios that would be implemented as 2021 unfolds with changes in a) occupancy rate, b) ability to have fundraisers or c) level of donations. So, what has life looked like at Villa?At the same time the world went into work-from-home mode and the institutions Villa serves went virtual, many of our guests were needed in their own countries for the very work they were in Atlanta training for and upgrading their skills in. Many families needed them at home. Many were recalled by their embassies to return home while airlines were still flying to their countries sometimes with only a few hours notice. Once the borders were closed, those who stayed continued their work until it was finished, and then because they could no longer get home, often were offered contracts to fill positions affected by hiring freezes or vacated by colleagues diverted to work with Covid. At least 8 of Villas guests were working on Covid and its various areas of research, data gathering, and analysis. So many were working at home i.e. at Villa, that Villas internet band width had to be expanded in order to accommodate the volume. Once the vaccines were available, a number of the guests volunteered their skills in off hours to administer the vaccinations or to provide professional monitoring after vaccines were administered.With restrictions on travel, restaurants, entertainment venues, sporting events and performances, and with volunteer driving suspended, Villas guests spent more time at home (at Villa in their family bubble) and with their Villa friends, cooking and eating together, talking, watching movies in the game room, riding bicycles, playing basketball or badminton and, of course, pool and ping pong. With a core group that remained unusually constant from March through the end of the year, many close relationships were formed. Impromptu celebrations occurred for any occasion or excuse. Community dinners and Thanksgiving dinner were held outdoors and socially distanced, attended only by those living within the Villa bubble. Newly arriving guests were required to quarantine in rooms set aside for them for 10 days after they travelled internationally or domestically on public transportation. With most of Villas guests working in health fields, they took precautions seriously for their own protection, but were very much aware of their responsibility to protect the other guests and the staff. And, guests wanted single rooms. The largest number of guests during the year were from southern Asia 47 from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Nepal. There were 23 from the African countries, 17 from the Middle East, 15 from Europe, 14 each from northern Asia and from Central/South America/Caribbean. The other 10 came from Central Asia, the South Pacific and Australia, and the US.A note of thanksNot enough can be said in the way of thanks to the many generous and thoughtful donors who have supported Villa during this traumatic year. Congregations, church womens groups, civic clubs, foundations, individuals, board members, advisory board members and other volunteers have rallied around and given many kinds of support. As paper products and cleaning supplies grew scarce, church circles joined forces and volunteers staked out their Costcos and Krogers and brought carloads of toilet paper, paper towels and Lysol to our door often with yummy baked goodies that boosted morale at least as much as the sight of a case of toilet paper. Villa is healthy and happy thanks to all its friends. 420988 true true false false false false false false false true true 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 2 0 false 8 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 21 21 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false GA X CAMILLE GAFFRON 4046336783 1749 CLIFTON ROAD NE ATLANTA GA 30329 CAMILLE GAFFRON Executive Dir. 60.00 0.00 X 56526 0 14178 PETER CARNELL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRAD CLAYTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHIRLEY CONNELLY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GAYLE COPELAND BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BETTIE DURRAH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GRETTA BURNS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET HERCULES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DIERDRE HOLLER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NOREEN HORRIGAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NORMA JOHNSON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE NAPIER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALLISON MAWLE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUZAN SPIVEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALICE WYATT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PIERCE NELSON BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEANNA MCFARLAN BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AGNES NELSON BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BAYLOR Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 VICTORIA NIMMO-WALTERS Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HELEN FREDRICK Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDLEY SMALL President 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 56526 14178 0 false false false NONE 0 67958 44613 64571 177142 RENT 532000 223005 223005 223005 4599 4599 0 0 0 24847 876 23971 23971 23971 951 67958 951 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 174 174 174 428891 223005 28744 0 0 0 0 70704 47243 17972 5489 0 119242 83590 25465 10187 0 6796 2370 862 3564 12812 8981 2736 1095 0 0 10920 9828 546 546 0 0 0 5983 5983 0 10771 8836 492 1443 0 0 132109 125504 6605 0 0 0 0 0 99587 94608 4979 27465 25394 1795 276 SUPPLIES 14132 13644 244 244 OTHER 1100 990 55 55 0 511621 420988 67734 22899 35286 62801 139387 95900 0 3985 1614 0 0 0 0 4304 1861 3685281 2063236 1708532 1622045 244969 275258 0 0 0 0 2136463 2059479 6981 10784 6619 1667 13600 12451 X 1920796 1980335 202067 66693 2122863 2047028 2136463 2059479 -82730 6895 X false true X true false X 276473 322937 115092 101618 177142 993262 339435 360353 347790 353162 223005 1623745 0 0 0 615908 683290 462882 454780 400147 2617007 52817 39423 10885 16047 26846 146018 20567 25787 7735 20340 74429 52817 59990 36672 23782 47186 220447 2396560 731 1864 3520 3751 4599 14465 0 731 1864 3520 3751 4599 14465 0 590 1017 1089 447 174 3317 617229 686171 467491 458978 404920 2634789 0.90960 0.91900 0.00550 0.00540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 56250 56250 56250 56250 56250 56250 56250 56250 56250 56250 1.00000 false false false 260000 260000 2758175 1679610 1078565 49869 5600 44269 573609 334521 239088 43628 43505 123 1622045 X 435786 6895 6895 428891 428891 511621 511621 511621 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Villa Internationals application of ASC 740 regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes Villa International has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status.
