This innovative legal services delivery model seeks to work with medical providers to assist with the social conditions that are key determinants of health by addressing civil legal issues, such as poor housing conditions, loss or denial of public benefits, immigration status, problems at school or work, or violence within the household. The MLP aims to change the delivery of health care by providing legal services where our clients need us the most - during challenging times. Through this system, anyone from a medical care team can refer patients to our attorneys as part of a comprehensive approach to health care. In 2020, 1,317 cases were closed by our MLPs. | |
| Legal VictoriesLAFLA achieved the following legal victories in 2020:Garcia v. City of Los AngelesThe litigation centers on the civil rights of unhoused individuals who are living in tents and makeshift encampments in the City of Los Angeles. The litigation challenges the seizure and destruction of unhoused individuals' belongings. The case challenges the constitutionality of an ordinance in Los Angeles that allows the City to seize and destroy unhoused residents' belongings. Plaintiffs allege that the ordinance violates the Fourth and Fourteenth amendment. They seek declarative relief that the ordinance is unconstitutional, and injunctive relief to prevent the seizure and destruction of property. In 2020, plaintiffs obtained preliminary injunction enjoining ordinance targeting unhoused people; contempt ruling against the City for violating the preliminary injunction.Injunction is currently on appeal to 9th Cir. Safuto v. City of Los AngelesThis case challenged the City's practice of towing vehicles when the owner of the vehicle is enrolled in a program available only to unhoused people in order to decide whether the City's decision to tow vehicles, without consideration of community caretaking standard, violates state law.The case settled very successfully, dramatically expanding access to low income parking ticket payment plans and access to the Community Assistance Parking Program. St. James v. Barbara Bills and WIB Holdings, LLCThis lawsuit seeks to address source of income discrimination under local Santa Monica ordinances with regard to Section 8 housing choice vouchers, and combat both flagrant and more subtle forms of harassment against low-income persons, including elderly and disabled persons.The primary goal of this case is to preserve the voucher and tenancy of plaintiff, and ensure non-discriminatory behavior from the landlord going forward. We also seek to address the landlord's conduct interfering with plaintiff's quiet enjoyment of her home.In this case, a Santa Monica rent-controlled landlord refuses to accept the Section 8 voucher of elderly tenant, in violation of the Santa Monica source of income discrimination ordinance and the Tenant Harassment ordinance. Plaintiff is a long-term rent-controlled tenant of 38 years who is heavily rent-burdened and may lose her home and/or voucher. In addition to the discrimination over her voucher, plaintiff has endured other forms of harassment from her landlord, including: failure to repair the bathtub (unusable); abuse of landlord's right to enter under Section 1954; invasion of privacy by taking pictures/videos through the window; and, telling plaintiff to "Give up and Get out."The case survived defendants' Anti-SLAPP motion.Cervantes v. Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA)This case seeks to stay the termination of Section 8 rental assistance to a 57-year old Navy veteran. Plaintiff is a participant in the Housing Choice Voucher program who suffers from mental health disabilities. Plaintiff is challenging the decision of the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) to terminate his rental assistance. Without a successful result in this case, plaintiff, who relies solely on $221 per month in General Relief ("GR") benefits, will be irreparably harmed. He will undoubtedly be evicted from his home and will likely become homeless. There are many other housing authority tenants in a similar situation as plaintiff.LAFLA filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate against HACLA seeking to overturn the hearing decision. LAFLA prevailed in a motion for an immediate stay, preventing HACLA from terminating plaintiff's Section 8 benefits, and therefore his tenancy, prior to the resolution of the Petition for Writ of Mandate.CRVQ, et.al., vs. United States Citizenship & Immigration Services; United States Department Of Homeland Security et.al.The lawsuit aimed to provide employment authorization to indigent named plaintiffs which would allow them to work lawfully in the United States, become more economically self-sufficient and ensure their families no longer exclusively rely on public benefits as the sole source of income.Under Section 214(p)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") and its implementing regulations, USCIS is required to timely adjudicate "bona fide" U-visa applications and issue Employment Authorization Documents ("EADs"). Presently, victims of qualifying crimes wait more than four years for adjudication of employment authorization. By refusing to adjudicate both petitioners' U-visa applications and petitioners' EAD petitions, Defendants subvert Congressional intent to aid law enforcement and incentivize proper reporting of crimes, as well as 8 U.S.C. 1184(p)(6)-the very statute they are charged with administering. Overall goal is to force USCIS to adjudicate applications for employment authorization and ensure that plaintiffs receive work authorization.Plaintiffs received work authorizations and the case was dismissed.Belmonte v. Nancy BerryhillThis litigation is an appeal from improper Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) decision regarding treatment of Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) overpayment connected to worker's compensation payments. Potential impact on similarly situated indigent and disabled individuals depending on future proceedings.The plaintiff was issued an SSDI overpayment due to his receipt of worker's compensation payments. The Social Security Administration (SSA) exhibits a pattern of incompetence in properly applying SSDI rules for workers who receive worker's compensation, and in plaintiff's case SSA committed numerous errors, including documented miscalculations contained in SSA internal notes. The ALJ decision totally ignored these documented issues and upheld an erroneous overpayment. The district court issued a remand order after counsel for the parties reached a stipulation for remand, with orders from the district court to properly evaluate plaintiff.Soza v. LightbourneThis case was filed to challenge the Department of Social Services policy of refusing to reimburse recipients who's CalFresh benefits are stolen by electronic theft.The trial court decided in favor of the respondent Department of Social Services. Petitioners appealed and the Court of Appeal decided in favor of petitioners/appellants. The case has been remanded to the trial court to issue the writ and judgment. LAFLA and co-counsel will be working to implement the favorable decision in DSS policy. Plaintiff's food benefit was restored, and others similarly situated will be able to have their benefits restored. | ||

| Part IV, Line 2b: | LAFLA holds funds in trust for its clients relating to settlements awarded by the courts and deposits held for filing and other fees. |
| Part V, Line 4: | Endowment funds are appropriated by the Board for use in current operations. |
| Part X, Line 2: | LAFLA is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all positions taken by LAFLA in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. LAFLA's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they filed. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA) seeks to achieve equal justice for low-income people in greater Los Angeles. We change lives through direct representation, systems change and community education. LAFLA is a nonprofit law firm that protects and advances the rights of the most underserved - leveling the playing field and ensuring that everyone can have access to the justice system. For over 90 years, LAFLA has provided free civil legal services to people living in poverty across Greater Los Angeles. LAFLA serves communities as diverse as Pico Union and Westlake, East Los Angeles, the Westside, South Los Angeles, Koreatown and Long Beach. Our unique combination of neighborhood offices, self-help centers at courthouses, and domestic violence clinics puts LAFLA on the front lines in vulnerable communities, and at the forefront of change. LAFLA takes care of the most vulnerable people in our community: the working poor, homeless, unemployed, elderly, disabled, domestic abuse survivors, victims of torture and human trafficking, and veterans of Los Angeles, by providing free legal services. LAFLA also provides free legal education, outreach, and self-help assistance to litigants and community members, allowing for additional access to justice for low-income persons in need. Over 96% of the people served by LAFLA are low-income. LAFLA assists more than 100,000 people in civil legal matters annually by providing free direct legal representation and other legal assistance for people living in poverty in Greater Los Angeles County. In 2020, we also provided important legal information and education to over 14,700 self-represented litigants and gave referrals to over 12,500 persons. We are committed to promoting access to justice, strengthening communities, fighting discrimination, and effecting systemic change through representation, advocacy, and community education. LAFLA has a culturally diverse staff who provide critical legal services, counseling, and referrals at five offices in the neighborhoods of Pico-Union and Westlake, East Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Long Beach. They speak many languages including Spanish, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin, Khmer, Japanese and Vietnamese. |
| Form 990, Part III, line 2 | In 2020, LAFLA was awarded a seven million dollar contract by the County of Los Angeles for an innovative Right to Counsel Eviction Defense Program known as Stay Housed LA County (stayhousedLA.org). As the lead agency, LAFLA coordinates eight partners to provide legal assistance, from limited action to full-scope legal representation, to tenants with any housing issue that may potentially lead to eviction or homelessness. LAFLA was also chosen to be the sole-source contractor for a similar program with the City of Los Angeles. LAFLA has included this new program's expenses with programs listed in 4a. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Pursuant to Legal Services Corporation regulations, most directors are appointed by bar associations or community organizations. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 is prepared by an outside accounting firm based on information provided by the Director of Fiscal Management; it is then reviewed by the Executive Director, the Director of Fiscal Management, the CFO and the Audit Committee. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | At least annually, the Board of Directors, Officers and staff of LAFLA are required to review LAFLA's Conflict of Interest Policy and complete an annual statement affirming that they have a) received a copy of the Conflict of Interest Policy, b) read and understood the policy, and c) agree to comply with such policy. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Executive Committee of the Board reviews the compensation of the Executive Director annually. A compensation survey is also conducted of similar organizations. Other organization officers or key employees' compensation is determined by comparability data and a compensation study as well as review by the Board of Directors. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The organization makes the Form 990 available on Guidestar.org and also makes governing documents, conflicts of interest policies and financial statements available to the public upon request. |
| Form 990, Part VIII, Line 11a: | In 2020, LAFLA was the sole recipient of a large Cy Pres award resulting from a class action lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County. The Cy Pres represented the amount of unpaid residue or unclaimed or abandoned class member funds from the final settlement amount. LAFLA expects to expand support to the increasingly disadvantaged areas within our community post-pandemic. In these difficult times, LAFLA has the ability to provide needed legal assistance to more underserved communities by supplementing our legal services teams and ensuring LAFLA maintains the ability to support the community in the future. |
