ExplanationICLC 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 ICLC in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. ICLC's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part III, Line IFor over 40 years, Inner City Law Center has provided free legal services to the poorest and most vulnerable residents of Los Angeles. ICLC's mission is to ensure access to decent, safe and affordable housing for the enormous number of homeless and precariously housed families and individuals residing in Los Angeles County. From our inception, housed in a rusty trailer behind a soup kitchen, ICLC has been guided by the fundamental principle that every person should always be treated with dignity and respect. The only legal-services provider located in Skid Row, ICLC's 100+ member staff and 500+ legal volunteers provide free, quality legal representation for people who have nowhere else to turn. ICLC fights for housing for low-income tenants, working poor families, veterans, people living with HIV/AIDS, immigrants, and people who are living with disabilities or experiencing homelessness. For precariously housed families and for the more than 66,000 people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles each night, the issues of dignity, respect, and equity coalesce under the banner of equal access to decent, safe, and affordable housing. Through our innovative, holistic approach, ICLC seeks to preserve affordable housing, keep families in their homes, improve unhealthy living conditions, connect clients with public benefits that can help them afford rent, and when appropriate, recover financial damages for our clients.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4The Board of Directors adopted revised by-laws on July 21, 2020. The revision included updates to Board Committees, established Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer positions, and updated the rules governing the Board of Directors operations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 5On February 9, 2021, ICLC learned that it had been targeted by a very sophisticated spear-phishing scheme, resulting in fraudulent payments totaling $413,447 to entities impersonating ICLC subcontractors. Payments were made between November 4th, 2020 and January 26, 2021. ICLC immediately notified the Board President, Board Treasurer, Audit Committee Chair, Beneficial State Bank, the U.S. Attorney's office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office Bureau of Investigation, and the relevant insurances brokers and subcontractors. ICLC has since implemented strict internal controls for electronic payments, including approval of wire payments via phone call to our CEO and CEO release of all electronic funds. In addition, ICLC has since reviewed and updated internal financial procedures, retained multiple IT consultants to conduct cybersecurity vulnerability assessments, and implemented all recommended upgrades to hardware, software, and IT procedures.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is reviewed and approved by the Treasurer of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer. and Chief Financial Officer. It is also circulated to the entire board prior to its filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cA conflict of interest policy has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. It is furnished annually to each Director, Officer and Key Employee, who are requested to complete the form if there are any conflicts and return it the staff member who handles Board Relations. Any conflicts are reported to the Board President, Chief Executive Director and Audit Committee. In addition, as a law firm, all Board and staff members are subject to disclosure of any possible client conflicts as required by the Bar Association of the State of California.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15An independent review of comparability data to determine the compensation of the Chief Executive Director is conducted by the Executive Committee of the board. The Executive Committee makes recomendations to the entire board and the entire board approves the compensation package. The Chief Operating Officer's and Chief Financial Officer's compensation was set by the CEO based on experience, performance, and comparability data.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Inner City Law Center's governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part XI, line 9:Wire fraud loss (See Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 5 on Schedule O) -413,447.
Schedule O, COVID-19 Impact on the communityThe pandemic presented an unforeseen set of challenges, but we have been able to meet them while still offering quality service to our clients. Most of our work (and how we do it) is substantially different than just a year ago. A patchwork of eviction limitations combined with slower court processes upended our eviction defense work. While court cases have been slower to close, we continue to receive more requests for assistance than we can handle. We are concerned that there will be a dramatic increase in evictions and small claims court lawsuits when protections are lifted. In preparation for this, we have significantly increased our training programs and resources for collaborative partners and pro bono attorneys. For example, ICLC created a series of ten trainings around the eviction crisis for pro bono partners. Other ICLC projects have also been impacted by the pandemic. Government agency closures and procedural changes dramatically altered our benefits advocacy. Court closures slowed our slum housing litigation. The pandemic and related economic challenges also pulled us in some new directions, including helping our client and our nonprofit partners navigate various stimulus and rental subsidy resources. We are spending more time than ever before advocating for systems change with the courts and our government partners. And we are educating many of our clients and partner organizations about how to best navigate a myriad of COVID-related changes.
