Programs in effect during the 2023 fiscal year included county funded eviction intervention programs we operated in Clayton and Gwinnett Counties and the Home Again emergency rental assistance program, funded by Atlanta Housing and the local United Way. Over the course of the year we helped 120 families to remain housed and to avoid evictions in the City of Atlanta and throughout Clayton and Gwinnett Counties. 80326 86411 Homelessness and Housing--The Motel to Home Program. Homelessness is often defined differently by different entities. For example, in some cases, organizations such as HUD, the primary federal housing funding agency, does not consider families in extended stay motels to be "technically" homeless. School systems however do consider families and their school aged children living in extended stay motels to be homeless and they provide specific transportation and related resources for them to attend their local schools. That group of families is the target of our Motel to Home program funded by the United Way of Greater Atlanta. During the 2023 fiscal year Housing Plus performed outreach to local schools and extended stay motels and assisted 21 families in transitioning from extended stay motels into permanent housing (an apartment or rental home). There are many positives that come from these transitions including: decreased stress and an improved sense of well being for families and a more stable home environment has been proven to have a significant positive impact on the educational performance of children. 13388 16914 Financial Education--Financial Achievement Clubs (FACs). During the COVID era, Housing Plus participated in multiple COVID emergency rental assistance (ERA) programs. As part of that experience we saw many families returning for assistance as part of recurring cycle. The desire to help families break that cycle encouraged Housing Plus to incorporate financial education in our programming. We began this effort in 2023 and have continued to deliver financial education throughout 2024, and now have several financial clubs scheduled into 2025. The unique part of the FACs is a savings match component that matches what a participant saves during the program up to a maximum of $500. During fiscal year 2023 we had 75 individuals to complete the full six month curriculum of our Financial Achievement Clubs. 0 0 0 597275 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 96 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 GA X Corby Hannah 4043334636 245 N Highland Ave NE Ste 230-575 Atlanta GA 30307 Corby Hannah Executive Director 40 0 X X 58240 0 0 Charlene Edwards Program Manager 40 0 X 52000 0 0 Amy Corn Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ed Richardson Board Chairman 1 0 X 0 0 0 Angelyn Wright Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Corby Hannah Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 110240 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 411882 0 0 0 0 5933 0 417815 0 1715 0 12902 0 -11187 0 -11187 -11187 0 0 0 178935 0 650 0 178285 178285 178285 0 0 0 0 584913 167098 0 0 334063 334063 94567 80382 14185 0 91032 91032 0 41448 41448 4799 4799 4629 4629 4304 4304 21974 21974 1336 1336 2154 2154 Joint Ownership Payoff of Asset Sale 51754 0 51754 0 Miscellaneous 14831 11154 3677 Storage Unit 2495 0 2495 0 669386 597275 72111 0 X 268858 184385 268858 184385 0 0 X 21509 14751 247349 169634 268858 184385 268858 184385 -84473 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 1616238 3094310 595950 648025 417815 6372338 1616238 3094310 595950 648025 417815 6372338 0 0 0 0 0 0 6372338 0 0 0 0 0 0 178285 178285 1616238 3094310 595950 648025 596100 6550623 0.97278 0 0 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Sale of home purchased by the organization in 2020 that was used for housing low income individuals.

Emergency rental assistance remains a core area for us as the process of transitioning out of the COVID emergency rental assistance period of 2020-2023 is still with us. Our efforts to keep families housed is supported by our emergency rental assistance program in the City of Atlanta (Home Again) and by the addition of our more recent financial education activities including the new Financial Achievement Clubs (FAC) programs. The FAC programs teach savings and budgeting fundamentals in order to support our client families' journey to stable housing and improved financial health. Form 990, Part III, Line 3 During the 2023-2024 fiscal year Housing Plus reduced our activities around street homeless outreach (The Plus Team) and related rehousing work and shifted the bulk of our programming towards keeping families housed and reducing the number of families being evicted. These programmatic changes were driven in part by the shift in focus of several of our primary funding sources. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The review of this 990 submission takes place in several parts. The initial input and review is done by the Executive Director (ED) and the Finance and Data Specialist. Upon completion of input and our review the submission is reviewed by the HPI board. After their sign off, the ED and the Finance and Data Specialist do a final review before submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c In general, most conflict of interest situations occur during board votes and review of initiatives or when payments or income is involved. As there are no board or ED related payments for services or income deriving to the ED or board from organizational activities it is easy to monitor during our end of month financial reviews. Likewise, in reviewing staff activity it is also clear in the end of month reviews that no payments to vendors (landlord etc) intersect with any staff member as EINs and SSNs are required for vendor payments. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All company documents and organizational items identified as public information are available upon request. We are continuing to update our company website to allow documents to be accessed via direct link from there. Form 990, Part X, Line 10a HPI purchased a ranch style home in late calendar year 2020 for the operational purpose of renting rooms to low income individuals. HPI mistakenly omitted a reference to the purchase in our 2020 990 return. Since that purchase we have declared income (rent) and expenses for the property on our annual 990. We operated this home until February 2024 when it was sold for market value. The proceeds, disbursements, and expenses related to this sale are included in this fiscal year's return. Note - Part VII, line 7a of this year's return.
