Significant program services not listed on prior year return Part III line 2	The supplemental sanitation services that ACE conducts through Project Stay are being required to participate in the NY City Containerization initiative.

Part X of the 990, Other Assets includes a $153,277 initial advance payment incurred by ACE for thirteen of the approved containers. There is $1,000,000 total estimated required ACE outlay to meet the number of containers required by the City of New York for the present sanitation service contract obligations. The City of New York has advised ACE that they have allocated the $1,000,000 for reimbursement of the containers.
