IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS PROJECT: ISP IS A UNIQUE PROVIDER OF IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES FOR IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSUALT ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA. ISP PARTNERS WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT AGENCIES AND PRO BONO LEGAL AID ATTORNEYS IN A UNIQUE MODEL OF SERVICE DELIVERY THAT PROVIDES IMMIGRATION AND FAMILY LAW LEGAL SERVICES, PUBLIC BENEFITS ADVOCACY, VICTIM SERVICES, AND EDUCATION TO IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS. THIS SURVIVOR-CENTERED APPROACH PROFOUNDLY IMPACTS THE LIVES OF IMMIGRANT SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSUALT AND THEIR CHILDREN AS THEY CREATE A NEW LIFE OF SAFETY, ECONOMIC WELL-BEING, AND STABILITY. THIS IN TURN CREATES A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY. THE 2014 YORK COUNTY BAR FOUNDATION'S ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY FOUND THAT EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN PIRC'S LEGAL SERVICES YIELDS AND ESTIMATED NINEFOLD ECONOMIC BENEFIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEMAND FOR LINGUISTICALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND GEOGRAPHICALLY-ACCESSIBLE IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES FOR SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT GREATLY OUTWEIGHS THE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE STATE, WITH PIRC BEING ONE OF THE FEW STATEWIDE PROVIDERS OF THESE SPECIALIZED, AND CRITICAL SERVICES. IN 2023, THE ISP CLOSED 119 DIRECT REPRESENTATION CASES, OPENED AN ADDITIONAL 117, AND CARRIED AT THE END OF 2023 341 OPEN CASES. COMMUNITY RESPONSE PROJECT/MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP WITH WELLSPAN: IN JANUARY 2022, PIRC AND WELLSPAN LAUNCHED A MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP. THE PARTNERSHIP IS A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM BETWEEN LEGAL AND HEALTHCARE TEAMS TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS HEALTH-HARMING LEGAL NEEDS IN PATIENTS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS OR AFFORD SUCH SERVICES. THIS PROGRAM ADDRESSES NEEDS PROACTIVELY IN SUPPORT OF HEALTH. WELLSPAN HEALTH PARTNERS WITH PENNSYLVANIA IMMIGRATION RESOURCE CENTER (PIRC) AND MID PENN TO SUPPORT THEIR MEDICAL LEGAL PARTNERSHIP. IN 2023, THE MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP PROVIDED 17 CONSULTATIONS, CLOSED 10 ADVICE-ONLY AND BRIEF SERVICE CASES, AND TOOK ON 11 NEW DIRECT REPRESENTATION CASES. IN SEPTEMBER 2023, PIRC LAUNCHED THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE PROJECT TO OFFER ADDITIONAL IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES TO IMMIGRANTS IN YORK COUNTY WITH EMERGENT LEGAL NEEDS, WHO WERE NOT REFERRED BY WELLSPAN HEALTH. IN ACCESSING THESE SERVICES, CLIENTS ARE ABLE TO SECURE THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS AND OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION SO THEY CAN BUILD A SECURE FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. SINCE THE START OF THE PROJECT IN 2023 UNTIL THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE PROJECT HAS PROVIDED 20 CONSULTATIONS, CLOSED 15 BRIEF SERVICE/ADVICE ONLY CASES, AND OPENED 13 NEW CASES. 221521 DIRECT REPRESENTATION: PIRC PROVIDES DIRECT REPRESENTATION AND PRO SE ASSISTANCE TO INDIGENT IMMIGRANTS THROUGH THE NATIONAL QUALIFIED REPRESENTATIVE PROGRAM (NQRP), THE PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY UNITY PROJECT (PAIFUP), AND TO PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE POPULATIONS (PVP). NQRP PROVIDES LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR DETAINED IMMIGRANTS DETERMINED BY THE IMMIGRATION COURT TO BE INCOMPETENT TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES DUE TO MENTAL ILLNESS OR OTHER CAPACITY LIMITATIONS. THESE CASES ARE COMPLEX DUE TO ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION AND COMPREHENSION BARRIERS AS WELL AS THE LACK OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THIS POPULATION. SECONDLY, PIRC PROVIDES DEFENSE AGAINST DEPORTATION THROUGH THE PAIFUP COLLABORATIVE PROJECT JOINTLY WITH THE NATIONALITIES SERVICE CENTER. THIS PROGRAM SEEKS TO BRING UNIVERSAL REPRESENTATION TO DETAINED IMMIGRANTS IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS IN PENNSYLVANIA. CASES ARE SELECTED ON A MERITS-BLIND BASIS, SCREEENED ONLY FOR INCOME AND RESIDENCE ELIGIBILITY THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO SCALE THE PROJECT USING DATA/EFFICACY OF THE PROGRAM TO SHOW THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE THAT REPRESENTATION MAKES TO INDIVIDUALS FACING DEPORTATION WITHOUT COUNSEL. FINALLY, PIRC PRESENTS OTHER SELECT CASES BASED ON PARTICULAR VULNERABILITIES SUCH AS ILLITERACY, LIMITED ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY AND TRAUMA FROM PAST PERSECUTION OR TORTURE. IN 2023, PIRC STAFF PROVIDED PRO SE ASSISTANCE OR REPRESENTATION BEFORE DHS OR EOIR TO 67 INDIVIDUALS FACING DETENTION/DEPORTATION. 228898 LEGAL ORIENTATION PROGRAM (LOP): PIRC STAFF EMPOWER IMMIGRANTS IN DETENTION THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA THROUGH THE LEGAL ORIENTATION PROGRAM (LOP), PROVIDING CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR IMMIGRANTS SO THEY CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR LEGAL CASES/FUTURE. THE LOP EDUCATES DETAINED IMMIGRANTS THROUGH THE PROVISION OF GROUP LEGAL PRESENTATIONS, SELF-HELP WORKSHOPS, AND INDIVIDUAL ORIENTATIONS ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT IN IMMIGRATION COURT, THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS, AND POTENTIAL LEGAL OPTIONS AND POSSIBLE REMEDIES. FOR APPROXIMATELY 86% OF DETAINED IMMIGRANTS IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS, LOP SERVICES ARE THE ONLY LEGAL ASSISTANCE THEY WILL RECEIVE BEFORE APPEARING PRO SE IN IMMIGRATION COURT. IN 2023, PIRC PROVIDED GENERAL LEGAL ORIENTATIONS IN A GROUP SETTING TO 569 INDIVIDUALS DETAINED AT MOSHANNON VALLEY PROCESSING CENTER AND CLINTON COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY. ADDITIONALLY, PIRC PROVIDED INDIVIDUALIZED LEGAL ORIENTATION TO 213 NONCITIZENS. FINALLY, THROUGH THE LOP, PIRC STAFF SUCCESSFULLY MATCHED 11 CASES WITH EXTERNAL PRO BONO COUNSEL TO INCREASE CAPACITY TO ASSIST THOSE IN NEED OF REPRESENTATION. PRO BONO REPRESENTATION INCLUDED MATTERS RANGING FROM FEAR INTERVIEW PREPARATION, BOND/PAROLE, AND FULLSCOPE DEPORTATION DEFENSE. 5594 UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN PROGRAM 5594 976902 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 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 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 PA X ANDREW BARANOSKI EXECUTIVE DIRECTO 7176008099 294 PLEASANT ACRES RD STE 202 YORK PA 17402 CLASINA HOUTMAN ESQ FORMER PRESIDENT (THRU 6/23) 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR KIMBERLY MAHAFFY PRESIDENT (STARTING 6/23) 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AMY CHAMBERLIN VICE PRESIDENT 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID CORMAN SECRETARY 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GABRIELA DEHART BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA GARCIA BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARILYN NEUBURGER BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KOMAL PATEL BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE STOLTZFUS BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SONIA WISE BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW BARANOSKI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 55.00 0.00 X 67431 0 12114 67431 0 12114 0 0 0 0 0 1431681 56994 1488675 68 68 FEE INCOME 900099 10887 10887 10887 1499630 0 0 10955 889643 591057 298586 101220 66210 35010 70964 47505 23459 35540 35540 79505 79355 150 37327 27213 10114 88453 64582 23871 34108 23628 10480 15924 15111 784 29 325 325 10762 10762 21509 10207 11302 PROGRAM EXPENSES 37738 32154 4880 704 PROFESSIONAL DEV. 14636 3771 10865 0 STRATEGIC PLANNING 5850 0 5850 0 DUES AND FEES 5653 3367 2286 0 3469 1655 1814 1452626 976902 474841 883 68314 234586 22587 22655 195438 173643 7619 517 102456 74181 23798 28275 112781 103930 430537 563606 95353 81357 112781 212842 208134 294199 X 222403 269407 222403 269407 430537 563606 47004 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1349968 1490120 1630131 1337469 1488675 7296363 120 0 5400 23951 10887 40358 1350088 1490120 1635531 1361420 1499562 7336721 2275 3761 4819 6367 6297 23519 0 2275 3761 4819 6367 6297 23519 7313202 233 93 23 46 68 463 233 93 23 46 68 463 3918 3918 1354239 1490213 1635554 1361466 1499630 7341102 0.99620 0.99920 0.00010 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 102456 74181 28275 28275 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 103930 103930 LEASE LIABILITY 107697 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES 105145 212842 X 1704754 205124 205124 1499630 0 1499630 1657750 205124 205124 1452626 0 1452626 PART X, LINE 2: THE CENTER IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3). THE CENTER ADHERES TO THE PROVISIONS OF FASB ASC 740, INCOME TAXES. FASB ASC 740 ESTABLISHES RULES FOR RECOGNIZING AND MEASURING TAX POSITIONS TAKEN IN AN INCOME TAX RETURN, INCLUDING DISCLOSURES OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS (UTPS). FASB ASC 740 MANDATES THAT COMPANIES EVALUATE ALL MATERIAL INCOME TAX POSITIONS FOR PERIODS THAT REMAIN OPEN UNDER APPLICABLE STATUTES OF LIMITATION, AS WELL AS POSITIONS EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN FUTURE RETURNS. THE UTP RULES THEN IMPOSE A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD ON EACH TAX POSITION. AN ORGANIZATION CAN RECOGNIZE AN INCOME TAX BENEFIT ONLY IF THE POSITION HAS A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" (I.E., MORE THAN 50 PERCENT) CHANCE OF BEING SUSTAINED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS. FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022, THE CENTER HAS TAKEN NO MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS ON ITS APPLICABLE TAX FILINGS THAT DO NOT MEET THE "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD. AS A RESULT, NO AMOUNT FOR UTPS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2020.
