Form 990, Page 1, Part I - Mission ContinuationOur vision is for communities where everyone has access to justice that protects their home, livelihood, health and equality. In 2014, LAFLA served nearly 80,000 poor and low-income people by providing legal assistance and case management services in over 13,000 client matters benefiting over 32,080 people (including more than 13,000 children in client households) and also provided important legal information and education to over 48,000 self-represented litigants, clinics and workshop attendees, and gave referrals to over 26,000. LAFLA has one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse staffs in the legal services community, in one of the most diverse regions in the country. Its offices are located in the neighborhoods where their clients live and work: in the City of Los Angeles in the Westlake/Pico Union, South L.A. and Crenshaw/Koreatown, East L.A., Santa Monica and Long Beach. In 2014, VJC coordinated the establishment of the Patriotic Hall "Legal Assistance Center"--a one-stop drop-in legal clinic for Veterans. Creation of the one-stop shop is truly innovative as it brought together multiple legal service providers to provide daily legal assistance to Veterans at a Los Angeles County Veteran services site; something which had never been done in Los Angeles County.
Form 990, Page 2, Part III - Mission Continuationin the community in a variety of ways: Provides direct representation; offers counsel and advice; provides referrals; educates the community about their legal rights through workshops and seminars. LAFLA's legal priorities encompass: Supporting families, Preserving the home, Maintaining economic stability, Promoting safety, security, and health, Serving populations with special vulnerabilities, Protect human and civil rights. Since our founding in 1929, LAFLA has been a channel for change for the conditions that cause or aggravate poverty for poor and low-income Angelenos, who face systemic barriers to equal justice, equal opportunity and, too often, basic human rights. LAFLA") works to fulfill its mission of equal "Justice for all" by serving more than 79,000 Los Angeles county residents a year. LAFLA's legal representation and educational/advocacy services promote equality in social policies and in the courtroom to empower people facing discrimination and systematic barriers to justice.
Form 990, Part III, line 2Through participation in AmeriCorps/Equal Justice Works' Employment Opportunity Legal Corps (EOLC) program, LAFLA has engaged the services of three EOLC Fellows to provide direct legal representation and assistance to low-income clients in removing barriers to employment involving criminal records and convictions. Fellows co-locate at community based organizations to provide services to clients. In return, those organizations provide employment training and placement to the same individuals.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aPursuant to Legal Services Corporation regulations, most directors are appointed by bar associations or community organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The 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 Finance Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Executive Committee of the Board reviews the compensation of the Executive Director annually. A compensation survey is also conducted of similar organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The 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.
