First and foremost, it is a home where core members and assistants live together in intentional community, sharing daily life and building meaningful relationships. At the same time, it operates as a licensed Community Residential Alternative under the State of Georgias Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, providing professional residential services for adults with developmental disabilities. (ii) LArche Home on Clairemont Avenue in Decatur:LArche Atlantas long-planned second home opened in June 2022 on Clairemont Avenue in Decatur, near Woodlands Garden. Like our founding home in Oakhurst, the Clairemont home is a place where core members and assistants share daily life in intentional community. At the same time, Clairemont also serves as a professional provider of residential services for adults with developmental disabilities. As a licensed Community Residential Alternative under the State of Georgias Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, the home operates within the states Medicaid waiver system. (iii) Outreach - Building Community through Social Events:Since January 2010, initially in partnership with several local faith communities, and now through a variety of community partnerships, FOLA has been hosting social events for people with and without intellectual disabilities. Through our in-person and virtual gatherings, we bring the celebration, spirituality, and connection found in the LArche home into the broader community.?At Community Events, people with and without disabilities come together in a place of belonging and welcome. These are monthly events, such as an Open Mic Night, Painting in the Park, or our Holiday Party. The purpose of the events is to come together to have fun, to celebrate the unique value of each person, and build relationships of friendship and support.?At our virtual group meet-ups, smaller groups of people with and without disabilities meet consistently around shared interests in virtual spaces. In FY25-26, LArche hosted trivia, cooking, and faith/prayer CONNEXIONS groups.?In FY25-26, LArche partnered with Holy Trinity Parish to bring together members of both communities for a series of weekly dinners. Each meal was followed by an activity designed to build social connections among church members and LArche core members. In FY25-26, 501 unique individuals joined LArche for virtual and in-person events. LArche connected with 74 people with disabilities (40 people with disabilities joined us three or more times). Collectively, we accounted for 1,651 touchpoints, representing the total number of times people engaged across all programs. These touchpoints reflect more than just attendancethey represent meaningful opportunities for connection, helping to reduce isolation, foster a sense of belonging, and build inclusive community for people with and without disabilities.LArche in the World:LArche began in a small town in France in 1964. Three mentwo with developmental disabilities and one withoutcalled the home LArche (pronounced larsh), which is the French word for The Ark. The men developed a profound friendship and sense of community. Inspired by the beauty of this simple life together, others have gone on to begin LArche communities throughout the world.The International Federation of LArche now encompasses 160+ member communities established as independent entities in 38 countries, on 6 continents. LArche creates community for people of all abilities, placing mutual relationships at the heart of the journey together. LArches primary means of doing so is through homes where people with and without developmental disabilities share life together and create relationships with the larger community. 1475838 true true false false false false false false false false true true false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 39 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false true false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false GA X X X TIMOTHY MOORE 4043827362 500 S COLUMBIA DRIVE DECATUR GA 30030 TIMOTHY MOORE EXECUTIVE DIR. 40.00 0.00 X 144735 0 0 ALAN MCNABB Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JODY STEPHENSON Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK CRENSHAW Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES HOWLE Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBBIE HARRIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY MARTI Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA VALDEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PATIENCE PETERSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KERRI SHANNON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GAYLE GELLERSTEDT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA MCGREGOR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 144735 1 false false false 0 21020 462819 4340 483839 ROOM AND BOARD 623990 1140173 1140173 1140173 35541 35541 0 0 0 0 198940 83060 115880 0 0 OTHER INCOME 4662 4662 4662 1780095 1175714 4662 0 0 0 0 144735 72368 14473 57894 0 1019548 823531 75114 120903 0 228612 175913 17591 35108 91998 70791 7079 14128 0 0 38791 38791 0 0 0 71859 10873 39726 21260 17165 449 16716 0 8382 7542 420 420 0 58219 49401 4159 4659 20271 19511 757 3 0 10329 7593 1241 1495 0 0 89234 80310 4462 4462 29889 2048 27841 SUPPLIES 73162 61873 9867 1422 DUES AND SUBS 35844 28704 5250 1890 REPAIRS AND MAINT 27541 26889 326 326 LICENSES AND PERMITS 16653 16628 25 35312 21414 6799 7099 2017544 1475838 253921 287785 431921 329236 175059 131546 20836 68540 117596 83310 0 0 0 0 7699 16793 1880257 494729 1386693 1385528 0 674701 576461 0 0 22223 118229 2836728 2709643 48411 63463 902 2041 27325 122183 76638 187687 X 2748504 2517456 11586 4500 2760090 2521956 2836728 2709643 -237449 -685 X false true X false false X 769251 706203 559485 678498 599719 3313156 364294 531205 707113 1063570 1140173 3806355 0 0 0 1133545 1237408 1266598 1742068 1739892 7119511 0 0 7119511 466 2310 9114 17534 34856 64280 0 466 2310 9114 17534 34856 64280 0 628 4662 5290 1134011 1239718 1275712 1760230 1779410 7189081 0.99030 0.99420 0.00890 0.00570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1349781 224917 1124864 280055 115481 164574 213924 117834 96090 36497 36497 1385528 576461 CREDIT CARDS 2313 LEASE LIABILITY - OFFICE 118684 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 1186 122183 1807310 -685 27900 27215 1780095 1780095 2045444 27900 27900 2017544 2017544 X false 13TH BIRTHDAY BENEFIT & BASH 198940 198940 3000 7686 72374 198940 198940 3000 7686 72374 83060 115880 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 Amended By-Laws Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b PDF PROVIDED FOR REVIEW Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Board members are asked to resign conflict of interest forms annually at the beginning of each year.
