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 consolidated 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 2015 and 2014.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 2012. true Bridge Street DevCorp 460 Nostrand Avenue Brooklyn NY 11216 113250772 59500 0 Housing Counseling Brooklyn Legal Services Corp 260 Broadway Brooklyn NY 11211 132605599 40000 0 Legal services CAMBA 1720 Church Ave Brooklyn NY 11225 112480339 120000 0 Housing Counseling CAMBA 1720 Church Ave Brooklyn NY 11225 112480339 24138 0 Build It Back Council of Peoples Org Inc 1081 Coney Island Ave Brooklyn NY 11230 753046891 30000 0 Network Partner Grants - Red Cross Empire Justice Center 119 Washington Ave Albany NY 12210 161487925 50000 0 Education and Outreach Flatbush Development Corp 1702 Church Avenue Brooklyn NY 11226 510188251 20000 0 Network Partner Grants - Red Cross JASA Legal Srvs for Elderly in Queens 132 W31st Street New York NY 10001 132620896 80000 0 Legal services Legal Aid Society 199 Water Street 4th Floor New York NY 10038 135562265 250000 0 Legal services Legal Services NYC- Bronx 579 Courtlandt Avenue Bronx NY 10451 161759590 100000 0 Legal services Long Island Housing Ptr Inc 180 Oser Avenue Suite 800 Hauppauge NY 11788 112889068 6500 0 Housing Counseling Margert Community Corp 325 Beach 37th Street Far Rockaway NY 11691 112534700 209500 0 Housing counseling MFY LEGAL SERVICES INC 299 BROADWAY New York NY 10007 132622748 100000 0 Legal services MFY LEGAL SERVICES INC 299 BROADWAY New York NY 10007 132622748 142752 0 Build It Back MHANY Management Inc 2-4 Nevins Street 2nd Fl Brooklyn NY 11217 721303737 77559 0 Build It Back MHANY Management Inc 2-4 Nevins Street 2nd Fl BROOKLYN NY 11217 721303737 102500 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser Bedf 1012 Gates Avenue Brooklyn NY 11221 471717438 87000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser Flat 2806 Church Avenue Brooklyn NY 11226 471169779 85000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser Flat 2806 Church Avenue Brooklyn NY 11226 471169779 9755 0 Build It Back Neighborhood Housing Ser NB 1178 East Gun Hill Road Bronx NY 10469 133098397 100000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser NQ 60-20 Woodside Avenue 2nd Fl Woodside NY 11377 471267077 501c3 100000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser NYC 308 West 36th Street 12th Fl New York NY 10018 133098397 7000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Services of Jamaica 162-04 South Road Jamaica NY 11433 237398279 72500 0 Housing counseling Neighborhood Housing Srvsof Staten Is 770 Castleton Ave Staten Island NY 10310 205689079 200000 0 Housing Counseling NY Legal Assistance Group 7 Hanover Square 18th Floor New York NY 10004 133505428 100000 0 Legal services NY Legal Assistance Group 7 Hanover Square 18th Floor New York NY 10004 133505428 801212 0 Build It Back Parodneck Foundation 121 Sixth Avenue Suite 501 New York NY 10013 112229635 84500 0 Housing counseling Queens Legal Services Corp 40 Worth Street 6th Floor New York NY 10013 132605604 100000 0 Legal services South Brooklyn Legal Services 105 Court Street Brooklyn NY 11205 132605605 125000 0 Legal services South Brooklyn Legal Services 105 Court Street Brooklyn NY 11205 132605605 179590 0 Build It Back Staten Island Legal Services 350 Broadway New York NY 10013 132600199 100000 0 Legal services Staten Island Legal Services 350 Broadway New York NY 10013 132600199 318431 0 Build It Back 32 0 Neighborhood Recovery Fund 26 29111 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The Center has an extensive process of monitoring the use of grant funds which involves bi-monthly data reporting, site visits, technical assistance and training.
