The homes second identity is that of a professional provider of residential services for adults with developmental disabilities. As such, the home is a licensed Community Residential Alternative with the State of Georgias Department of Developmental Disabilities, and this partnership provides for around 28% of the homes funding through available public funding.(ii) LArche opens second home on Clairemont Ave in Decatur:LArches long planned for 2nd home opened in June of 2022, on Clairemont Ave in Decatur near the Woodlands Garden. Like the home in the Oakhurst neighborhood, the Clairemont home members share life together in the community. Also, like the Mead home, Clairemonts second identity is that of a professional provider of residential services for adults with developmental disabilities. As such, the home is a licensed Community Residential Alternative with the State of Georgias Department of Developmental Disabilities, and this partnership provides for around 33% of the homes funding through available public funding.(iii) Outreach - Building Community through Social Events:Since January 2010, initially in partnership with several local faith communities, and now through a variety of community partnerships, FOLA has been hosting social events for people with and without intellectual disabilities. Through our in-person and virtual gatherings, we bring the celebration, spirituality, and connection found in the LArche home into the broader community.At Community Events, people with and without disabilities come together in a place of belonging and welcome. These are monthly events, such as an Open Mic Night, Painting in the Park, or a holiday party. The purpose of the evenings is to come together to have fun, to celebrate the unique value of each person, and build relationships of friendship and support.At CONNEXIONS meet-ups, smaller groups of people with and without disabilities meet consistently around shared interests. In 2023, LArche hosted trivia, writing, and faith/prayer CONNEXIONS groups.In 2023, over 695 people joined LArche for virtual and in-person events. LArche connected with over 100 people with disabilities (54 people joined us three or more times). LArche hosted 95 virtual CONNEXIONS meet-ups.(iv) Outreach Through Announcing the Gifts of Adults with Intellectual Disabilities:Part of the LArche mission involves sharing the gifts that adults with intellectual disabilities bring to our societies, thereby inviting people to places of inclusion and mutual relationships within their own communities. With the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities, we continue the Storytelling Advocacy Project. The goal of the project is to educate and influence legislators around issues that affect Georgians with disabilities through their stories.LArche in the World:LArche began in a small town in France in 1964. Three mentwo with developmental disabilities and one withoutcalled the home LArche (pronounced larsh), which is the French word for The Ark. The men developed a profound friendship and sense of community. Inspired by the beauty of this simple life together, others have gone on to begin LArche communities throughout the world.The International Federation of LArche now encompasses 150+ member communities established as independent entities in 38 countries, on 6 continents. LArche creates community for people of all abilities, placing mutual relationships at the heart of the journey together. LArches primary means of doing so is through homes where people with and without developmental disabilities share life together and create relationships with the larger community. 240838 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 false false false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 27 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false true false false false false true false false false true true true true true false true true false GA X X X TIMOTHY MOORE 4043827362 500 S COLUMBIA DRIVE DECATUR GA 30030 X TIMOTHY MOORE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 31200 0 0 ALAN MCNABB Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RAY KRAWCZYK Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRANDON MAXWELL Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK CRENSHAW Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES HOWLE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBBIE HARRIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY MARTI Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHNNY MASON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PATIENCE PETERSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMILAH STEPHENS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JODY STEPHENSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA VALDEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN YORKER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 31200 0 false false false 0 19268 36485 55753 ROOM AND BOARD 623990 147665 147665 SUMMER PROGRAM FEES 623990 147665 1071 1071 0 0 0 5750 5750 5750 5750 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 0 210239 153415 1071 0 0 0 0 31200 15600 3120 12480 0 135763 117971 13576 4216 2372 1898 237 237 13937 11149 1394 1394 13222 10578 1322 1322 0 0 5928 5928 0 0 0 24402 23604 798 797 797 0 0 0 9074 8320 377 377 3518 3448 70 0 363 363 0 0 13462 12116 673 673 8321 2784 5537 SUPPLIES 15556 10734 1852 2970 VEHICLE EXPENSES 9688 9688 REPAIRS AND MAINT 7357 7357 DUES AND SUBS 5339 4330 669 340 2803 898 1309 596 303102 240838 36064 26200 1205155 1176384 0 120736 167710 90753 2383 0 0 0 0 4396 6670 1792191 312170 1493485 1480021 0 0 0 0 26476 24996 2941001 2858164 7496 23219 261 32087 26651 39844 49870 X 2891157 2798294 10000 10000 2901157 2808294 2941001 2858164 -92863 X false false false X 1006296 729843 769251 706203 559485 3771078 357701 366958 364294 531205 707113 2327271 0 0 0 1363997 1096801 1133545 1237408 1266598 6098349 0 0 6098349 14346 7405 466 2310 9114 33641 0 14346 7405 466 2310 9114 33641 0 0 1378343 1104206 1134011 1239718 1275712 6131990 0.99450 0.99350 0.00550 0.00650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1349781 126745 1223036 280055 96262 183793 125858 54073 71785 36497 35090 1407 1480021 CREDIT CARDS 1245 LEASE LIABILITY - OFFICE 25406 26651 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 Amended By-Laws Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b PDF PROVIDED FOR REVIEW Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Board members are asked to resign conflict of interest forms annually at the beginning of each year.
