This address is a suite or unit (STE 300). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.
We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
Signatures were collected on referendum petition sufficient to qualify the measure for the ballot. However, the petition was challenged and MEH has been defending the right of the people to vote on the measure in court proceedings, currently in the California Court of Appeal, which will determine whether or not the measure will be placed on the ballot ultimately for voter consideration.
Activities or mission (Part I)
MEH is a civic/social welfare organization organized and operated to support a referendum petition effort to qualify a measure for the ballot in the City of Livermore, CA and to educate the public regarding the measure, which involved approval by the Livermore City Council of an ordinance approving the development of a controversial development of 130 units of workforce housing in the center of downtown Livermore, instead of a larger number of housing units across the street from the approved site.
-
MEHs primary focus at inception was on qualifying a measure for the ballot on whether or not the city of Livermore would allow 130 housing units to be built downtown. The committee cited the projects violations of the California Environmental Quality Act as a reason for public input on the project. When the city denied outright the committees request for a referendum, the committee sued the city and its election commission. The vote on the measure has been involved in court proceedings as part of its program activities to convince the decision-makers that the voters have the right to vote on the measure. The first proceeding ended in dismissal of the case in the Citys favor. MEH appealed that decision and continued to advocate for the rights of the public citizenry of Livermore to decide the merits of the housing proposal and the ultimate use to which the proposed development site should be made. In January 2023 First District Court of Appeal and Alameda County Superior Court ruled in favor of the low income housing project effectively negating the purpose of the committee. Instead of having the opportunity to educate the public on the reasons not to build a potentially large and unsafe project, the committee was forced to spend its energies and resources on litigation. The committee continues to meet its related financial commitments.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
Grants received
No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.
Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Not present in the most recent drop.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
