We had wonderful attendance and managed to finish all the cards in one night. The report compiling the results and analysis of our Reimagining Community Safety (RCS) survey was released on September 12, 2023. The full report as well as Executive Summary (in English and Spanish) and interactive data dashboard are available on our webpage. The report was made available (via email) to a broad range of stakeholders, including City Council Members, the Pima County Attorney, Tucson's Police Chief, The Pima County Sheriff, and other local leaders. We have collaborated with a local coalition to oppose the expansion of the Pima County Jail. We have worked to educate the Board of Supervisors and the public about the cost-effectiveness of alternatives to incarceration. Our pilot for the Community Safety Incubator projects in the Fairgrounds neighborhood was very successful. JCA sponsored a series of neighborhood cleanups as well as a public event to paint and decorate macetas (planters made from old tires) and signs to put up around the neighborhood asking people to slow down while driving. At the Fiesta, we unveiled a custom-made "little free library" that was installed across the street from the park, stocked with books donated by Barrio Books. The fiesta also featured carne asada, hot dogs and hamburgers, information tables from local organizations, as well as games and prizes for kids. 108290 0 0 Between January and October of 2023, our Expungement Advocates engaged in a total of 214 outreach activities (flyering, street outreach, or presentations). In total, they reached 3,806 individual contacts! 61121 0 0 We hired two Co-Researchers, both former residents and house managers of Earnest House, to help us with the survey of EH residents. We surveyed the residents three separate times and collected a total of 30 responses. Due to the high rates of turnover, very few residents responded more than once. However, the data points to clear positive impacts on resident outcomes. 0 0 0 312546 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 19 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AZ X X X Caroline Isaacs 5202015860 11850 East Golf Links Road Tucson AZ 85730 Caroline Isaacs Executive Director 50 0 X 69514 0 17371 Marilyn Rodriguez Chair 1 X 0 0 0 Luis Carrion Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Daniel Howe Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Tasha Menaker Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Beth Meyer Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Ronald Simpson-Bey Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Kesha Dawson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Steven Scharboneau Vice-Chair 1 X 0 0 0 Liane Hernandez Secretary 1 X 0 0 0 Zachary Stout Treasurer 1 X 0 0 0 69514 0 17371 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 227899 96944 0 324843 0 0 0 0 0 0 257 200 57 0 57 0 0 324900 0 57 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 92384 55430 23096 13858 0 0 0 0 146868 118668 25380 2820 0 0 0 0 24296 19173 4611 512 12026 9784 2018 224 0 0 0 0 1473 1100 373 0 5955 4388 1191 376 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 79722 56032 22729 961 3100 3100 0 0 11622 8779 2517 326 22302 13269 7348 1685 0 0 0 0 1778 1486 292 0 3112 3102 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11425 8418 2285 722 Program Supplies 6110 6110 0 0 Staff Expenses 3590 3393 183 14 Miscellaneous 411 314 0 97 426174 312546 92033 21595 23303 88202 203624 41260 2328 2500 229255 131962 3642 7623 3642 7623 X 225613 124339 0 0 225613 124339 229255 131962 -101274 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 689369 324843 1014212 0 0 0 689369 324843 1014212 1014212 257 257 1014469 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft version of the Form 990 is sent to each member of the Board prior to filing.
