Affordability is critical for people in recovery and JLR is one of the lowest-cost options, helping residents get on their feet sooner. Revenue from resident fees covers only 35% of the cost to operate, as well as maintain the building.The ultimate goal of JLRs programming is that current and former residents do not return to substance abuse, homelessness, or involvement with the criminal justice system. Progress towards these objectives is measured in part by stability and sobriety within JLRs resident population as well as seeing JLR residents survive, thrive, and exit JLRs supportive housing into independent, healthy life situations. Increased programming in 2024 such as art therapy, recovery coaching, and community outings all helped empower residents in their recovery process.JUST Living Recovery served 101 people in 2024, which includes 25 Lakewood residents through residential housing, and 76 others through referral services, with a waiting list of 11 people at the end of the year. 100% of residents are active in recovery and maintaining abstinence from drugs and alcohol. JLR continues its diversity and equity work, including regular consultant-facilitated meetings with Board, staff, and residents addressing policies and actions that support an inclusive and safe environment for all. In 2024, 87% of residents identified as LGBTQ+ and 20% as a person of color, representing increases from 2023 in our target populations. For JLRs board, 40% identify as LGBTQ+ and 60% represent the recovery community, the same percentages as 2023. A goal for 2025 is to increase the diversity of the board even more.JLR has never turned away a potential resident for lack of ability to pay the modest monthly fee. Resident fees cover only 35% of JLRs budget and are some of the lowest recovery residence fees in Colorado, with thanks to support from the City of Lakewood and other grants. 209621 true false false 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false true true false false false X Margie Mellenbruch 3038422355 11163 W 17th Avenue 111 Lakewood CO 80215 X Linda Barringer Executive Director 30.00 0.00 41270 0 0 Jordyn Nursall Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margie Mellenbruch Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elise Segars Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Parker President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Deb Clayton Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 41270 0 false false false 0 253374 11090 253374 Residential housing 68538 68538 68538 6842 6842 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 328754 75380 X 0 0 0 0 41270 35080 4127 2063 0 13487 11464 1349 674 0 0 4189 3561 419 209 0 0 224 190 23 11 0 0 0 28502 24227 2850 1425 11402 9692 1140 570 0 0 0 72027 61223 7203 3601 260 221 26 13 0 0 12115 10298 1211 606 0 7281 6189 728 364 32766 27851 3277 1638 Sober Living expenses 9988 8490 999 499 Telephone, cable & internet 5993 5094 599 300 Computer expenses 2843 2417 284 142 Leadership development 885 752 89 44 3379 2872 338 169 246611 209621 24662 12328 285793 371107 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 283959 30443 260797 253516 0 0 0 0 2648 1 549238 624624 30892 30319 208546 202362 239438 232681 X 309800 391943 309800 391943 549238 624624 82143 X false false false X 189128 111351 227217 233518 253374 1014588 0 0 189128 111351 227217 233518 253374 1014588 0 1014588 14 1589 6842 8445 0 0 1023033 0.99170 0.99500 X 202502 25528 176974 81457 4915 76542 253516 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Each of the board members review electronic versions via email.
