Under that guidance, the Center and Affiliate may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Center and Affiliate and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for years 2017 and 2016.The Center and Affiliate files its form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the office of the state's attorney general for New York State. The Center and Affiliate is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2014. true Bridge Street DevCorp 460 Nostrand Avenue Brooklyn NY 11216 113250772 19000 0 Housing Counseling Brooklyn Bar Assn Vols Lawy 123 Remsen Street 2nd Floor Brooklyn NY 11201 113155182 75000 0 Housing Counseling Brooklyn Legal Services 260 Broadway Ste 2 Brooklyn NY 11211 132605599 100000 0 Legal Services Brooklyn Neighborhood Service 1012 Gates Avenue 1st Floor Brooklyn NY 11201 471717438 139000 0 Housing Counseling BWB Solutions 250 West Main Street Branford CT 06405 263544762 33200 0 Network Partner Grants CAMBA 1720 Church Ave Brooklyn NY 11225 112480339 70000 0 Housing Counseling City Bar Justice Center 42 West 44th Street New York NY 10036 136003018 40000 0 Housing Counseling / Legal Community Development Corp LI 2100 Middle Country Road Centereach NY 11720 112221341 9000 0 Network Partner Grants Cypress Hills LDC 3214 Fulton Street Brooklyn NY 11208 112683663 90000 0 Housing counseling Enterprise Community Partners 11000 Broken Land PkwySte700 Columbia MD 21044 521231931 110645 0 Residential Tech.
