Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

We champion justice by enhancing access to the legal system, especially for those whose race, ethnicity, income, age, disability, gender, or sexual orientation pose obstacles. We strive to provide exceptional advocacy, vigorous representation, and effective legal education for the communities we serve.

  • Legal Assistance for Human Trafficking & Human Rights: The Immigration & Human Rights unit provided assistance to 531 immigrant victims of crime with T and U visas as well as obtaining citizenship or documented status to assure their ability to live and work in the US. Advocates also referred clients to counseling, language centers, public benefits, and education programs. The unit also assisted 174 victims (domestic and immigrant) of human trafficking. These services are supported largely by grants from the US Department of Justice.

    Expenses $752,078

  • Legal Services for Families/Domestic Violence: The Family Law unit provided services to 931 clients and closed 885 cases of protective injunctions, personal safety, custody, divorce, child support, visitation, and paternity. Casework is holistic in nature as these clients may also receive legal assistance with housing matters and public income maintenance benefits for which they are eligible. This assistance gives survivors of violence the tools they need to become independent and self-sufficient and to create a new beginning for themselves and their children. These services are supported by funding from the US Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women, Pinellas County, the Florida Office of the Attorney General, Florida Department of Children and Families and local area funding.

    Expenses $901,826 · Grants $110,583

  • Financial Stability: Financial stability attorneys and support staff provided legal services to help residents obtain or maintain stable income. Services included assistance with credit matters; tax controversies; fraud; scams; debt collections; etc. The Financial Stability team assisted 697 clients with financial matters and were supported by funding from the Florida Bar Foundation, United Ways, local foundations, and the IRS Low Income Taxpayer Clinic program.

    Expenses $678,216

  • Housing Legal Services: Housing attorneys and support staff provided legal services to help residents obtain or maintain housing. Services included assistance with landlord/tenant disputes; foreclosure modification or representation; addressing violations of the Fair Housing Act; etc. Housing staff assisted 757 clients to help them avoid homelessness. Housing services were supported primarily by funding from Pinellas and Manatee Counties and various local municipalities via their HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

    Expenses $500,700

  • The special projects team was formed late in fiscal year 2023-24 to address the needs of clients who need assistance in matters that do not fall into the other four departmental units' substantive areas. The team oversees evolving programs, such as elder law initiatives, victims' rights, and disaster response services. In FY 2023-24, they provided services to 9 clients.

    Expenses $416,108

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.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

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.
