Due to our holistic combination of social service support, counseling, and legal representation, less than 5% of our clients serve additional incarceration time. Instead, they are connected to necessary services, including drug treatment, mental health support, and housing. This combination of services has been rated by the National Institute of Justice Crime Solutions as effective in reducing recidivism. Through our record clearing work, we measure our ability to remove barriers to employment, housing, and education due to an irrelevant criminal record. Last year, over 95% of our court-based petitions for record clearing were successful and the Pardon Clinic had a 90% success rate helping rehabilitated clients obtain a pardon. Studies have confirmed that wages increase by an average of 22% within one year of expungement. Through our advocacy work, GJP also moves the needle on systemic policy initiatives that increase the availability of legal remedies for Georgia's justice involved community. Recent wins include SB 288 (2021) expanded access to record clearing, SB 105 (2022) enabled rehabilitated individuals to terminate their probation early, SB 10 (2023) & HB 926 (2024) decreased automatic driver's license suspensions for minor offenses, like missing court, and increased access to reinstatement. In 2025, we also partnered with the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence (GCADV) to draft and support HB 582 which creates paths for mitigation and re-sentencing for survivors of domestic violence. 3220336 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 24 0 false 40 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false GA X X GENNY DRASH 4048270027 438 EDGEWOOD AVE ATLANTA GA 30312 DOUGLAS B AMMAR Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 187208 0 30902 BRENDA J SMEETON LEGAL DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 136707 0 5034 RACHEL HOLMES MANAGING ATTORNEY 40.00 0.00 113855 0 12491 ERMIS ZAYAS DEV DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 108907 0 12327 WADE ASKEW POLICY DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 102433 0 13994 PAIGE JANN MANAGING ATTORNEY 40.00 0.00 98433 0 13867 LAUREN WASHINGTON BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DERIN B DICKERSON BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN H RAINS IV BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLIE BINGHAM BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEG TAYLOR BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT CASEY BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELE YOUNG BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DOUG JENKINS BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VON A DUBOSE BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER RUDER BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN D COUNCILL BOARD MEMBER 6.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE BLITCH BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH LEE BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE HOYES BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE SLOVENSKY BOARD CHAIR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAKATHRYN ROSS PAST BOARD CHAI 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CANARAS Secretary 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ASUMA SURANI Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 747543 88615 5 false true false SSOE GROUP 1001 MADISON AVENUE TOLEDO OH 43604 ARCHITECT 192135 1 103006 4485664 4588670 FEES FOR SERVICE 719672 719672 719672 50806 50806 0 0 1463 1463 1463 1463 409391 4000 371626 37765 4000 41765 41765 42088 103006 42088 0 0 0 0 5402376 719672 94034 0 0 0 0 823536 642682 105690 75164 0 2142733 1680822 267147 194764 0 339503 246561 60248 32694 210514 163729 27561 19224 0 0 58505 26327 31593 585 0 0 0 184528 77864 102364 4300 0 66530 45376 5859 15295 0 0 0 39466 38648 51 767 0 0 122176 122176 0 136824 136824 32303 20284 6166 5853 TECHNOLOGY & EQUIPMENT 135283 103577 17067 14639 MEALS & ENTERTAINMENT 27383 21247 4211 1925 MATERIALS 26188 25830 358 UTILITIES 24462 12957 2210 9295 154768 114432 17639 22697 4524702 3220336 784988 519378 789792 385835 2175740 1372902 803051 931449 172144 37974 0 0 0 0 35743 21373 5377512 1120178 4012610 4257334 238255 118300 0 0 17776 9174 0 8245111 7134341 97357 76316 2362000 342000 176056 212443 2635413 630759 X 4660009 5359872 949689 1143710 5609698 6503582 8245111 7134341 877674 16210 X false true X true false X 2534868 2616915 2989503 3374561 4588670 16104517 0 0 2534868 2616915 2989503 3374561 4588670 16104517 5193156 10911361 15651 26574 101393 110441 52269 306328 0 797 23 820 16411665 1803415 0.66490 0.71570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 115926 115926 4408776 4524702 376235 94059 false 287949 350374 363720 376235 1378278 2067417 117467 89026 116538 115926 438957 71987 87594 90930 94059 344570 516855 Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description GEORGIA JUSTICE PROJECT, INC.
