Programs
Re-entry program: jac continued our monthly re-entry legal clinics, which we facilitated twelve times, serving 214 clients. Jac utilized staff and pro bono attorneys, as well as coordinated with partner organizations, to remove legal barriers that could derail re-entry such as eliminating prescribed traffic tickets, applying for (and appealing denials of) public benefits including disaster benefits, assisting with transportation worker identification credential (twic) card waivers and appeals, reinstating driver's licenses, addressing consumer debt, and modifying child support payments to amounts that are more manageable. We also hosted three additional disaster-benefits specific legal clinics following hurricane ida with fema and sba. Through our reentry attachment docket program we eliminated 308,856 in outdated traffic debt at the new orleans municipal traffic court for 143 people in 563 cases, and 3,695 in debt for 12 individuals at the baton rouge city court in partnership with the 19th judicial district court.

$664,982 spent95% of program spendingExpungement program: jac held 12 expungement workshops in 2021, providing advice or representation to 166 individuals, utilizing approximately 20 pro bono attorneys and volunteers to facilitate the workshops. We re-launched our expungement web-based app, which was accessed by over 2,000 people during 2021. The majority of our expungement program participants are low- income, african-american people from overpoliced neighborhoods, who we serve through expungement workshops for individuals from eighteen parishes throughout louisiana. We continued to facilitate the legislative task force on automated expungements, the "clean slate task force,- and while the automated expungement bill we supported did not pass, we continued to build a community based coalition and successfully advocated for a law for more people on misdemeanor probation to have access to record clearing. We joined the fair chance hiring act coalition and successfully advocated for the act's passage, which prohibits employers from considering arrests that did not result in conviction during the hiring process.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $721k to $1.2M (+62%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2019 11% · 2021 5% · 2022 94% · 2023 97%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
67% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
