What Georgia Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty does
Mission
To provide free, quality civil legal services to homeless people and to play a leadership role in addressing the issues underlying homelessness.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990.
Program
The law center provides targeted legal and social work services to increase income and financial stability so that homeless families and individuals can escape homelessness. Our attorneys also defend evictions to prevent homelessness. The center assists with rapid rehousing. Legal services include obtaining/modifying/enforcing child support, reducing debt, litigating wage claims, and securing other benefits such as unemployment. Social work services include connecting clients to mainstream benefits, childcare, employment services, identification, and mental health and substance abuse services.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $394k to $49k (−87%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 75% · 2018 70%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
