We defend the civil and disability rights of community members who are unhoused or otherwise marginalized, ensuring access to housing, healthcare, and public benefits. By holding municipalities accountable when they violate the law or fail to provide critical services, we not only support individuals in crisis but also create lasting change that benefits the entire community. This work has helped hundreds of people move from the streets toward housing, restored access to safety net benefits, and secured greater dignity and independence. 175269 Estate Planning & Limited Conservatorships: We help older adults, people with disabilities, and their families plan for the future, protect decision-making rights, and avoid unnecessary court involvement. Services include advance healthcare directives, powers of attorney, wills, trusts, and representation in limited conservatorship proceedings. These tools are often out of reach for low-income families, leaving them vulnerable to crises. By offering accessible legal planning, we ensure community members can age with dignity, protect their loved ones, and preserve generational wealth. Our outreach through hospitals, senior centers, and community clinics extends these protections to those who need them most. 130658 Education & Disability Rights Advocacy: Every child deserves the chance to thrive at school. We advocate for students with disabilities who are too often marginalized or denied needed services. Through direct representation in disputes with schools, community education, and disability rights advocacy, we empower families to secure accommodations and supports that improve educational outcomes and well-being. These efforts reduce barriers, promote equity in education, and strengthen opportunities for children with disabilities to succeed both in school and in life. 637347 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Brooke Weitzman 7146175353 1535 East 17th Street Suite 110 Santa Ana CA 92705 Brooke Weitzman Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 86945 0 23000 Carol Sobel Chair 4.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Akhil Sheth Vice President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Porsche Clarke Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jordana Furman Treasurer 7.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Reza Torkzadeh Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebekah Thomas Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard McNeil Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Plummer Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Danielle Mayer Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Denise Carter Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 86945 23000 0 false false false 0 3490 122680 376439 25306 502609 Legal Fees 541100 345150 345150 345150 11477 11477 0 0 0 474 474 474 474 3490 0 0 0 0 859710 345624 11477 0 0 0 0 109945 101699 8246 0 368658 341009 27649 8488 7851 637 4067 3762 305 38285 35414 2871 0 2244 2076 168 12520 12520 0 0 0 56371 52143 4228 472 437 35 20753 19200 1553 5156 4769 387 0 45080 41698 3382 7162 6625 537 0 5452 5043 409 0 0 5196 4806 390 11692 10815 877 0 701541 637347 64194 0 485330 669425 0 0 32146 12961 0 0 0 0 0 25985 25972 5210 13 0 0 0 0 135672 27299 658358 709698 2009 3996 134211 25395 136220 29391 X 522138 680307 522138 680307 658358 709698 158169 X true X false false false X 209522 227513 254604 317708 502609 1511956 299066 153075 234466 368402 345150 1400159 0 0 0 508588 380588 489070 686110 847759 2912115 25000 65000 90000 0 25000 65000 90000 2822115 37 970 11951 12958 0 37 970 11951 12958 0 0 508588 380588 489107 687080 859710 2925073 0.96480 0.99100 0.00440 0.00030 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 25985 25972 13 13 Operating Lease Liability 21367 Trust Account Payable 4028 25395 859710 859710 859710 701541 701541 701541 X 1 25306 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Executive Director provided the 990 to the board and the board reviewed it.
