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 2014 and 2013.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 2011. true Bridge Street DevCorp 460 Nostrand Avenue Brooklyn NY 11216 113250772 145000 0 Housing Counseling CAMBA 1720 Church Ave Brooklyn NY 11225 112480339 200000 0 Housing Counseling Chhaya Community Development Corp 37-43 77 Street 2nd Floor Jackson Heights NY 11372 113580935 100000 0 Housing Counseling Common Law 4601 Greenpoint Ave 24 Sunny Sunny Side NY 11104 263382144 75000 0 Legal services Legal Aid Society 199 Water Street 4th Fl New York NY 10038 135562265 50000 0 Legal services Legal Services - NYC Bronx 349 East 149th Street 10 FL Bronx NY 10451 132600199 100000 0 Legal services Legal Services NYC 350 Broadway 6th Floor New York NY 10013 132600199 250000 0 Training and Capacity Building Legal Services NYC 350 Broadway 6th Floor New York NY 10013 132600199 75000 0 Legal services 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 139812 0 Build It Back MHANY Management Inc 2-4 Nevins Street 2nd Fl Brooklyn NY 11217 721303737 148403 0 Build It Back MHANY Management Inc 2-4 Nevins Street 2nd Fl BROOKLYN NY 11217 721303737 204345 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser Bedf 1012 Gates Avenue Brooklyn NY 11221 471717438 100000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser Flat 2806 Church Avenue Brooklyn NY 11226 471169779 200000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser Flat 2806 Church Avenue Brooklyn NY 11226 471169779 501(c)(3) 14526 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 100000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Ser NYC 308 West 36th Street 12th Fl New York NY 10018 133098397 100000 0 Housing Counseling Neighborhood Housing Services of Jamaica 162-04 South Road Jamaica NY 11433 237398279 100235 0 Housing counseling Neighborhood Housing Srvsof Staten Is 770 Castleton Ave Staten Island NY 10310 205689079 100000 0 Housing Counseling NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS 621 Degraw Street Brooklyn NY 11217 113059958 95000 0 Housing Counseling NEW ECONOMY PROJECT 176 Grand Ave Ste 300 New York NY 10013 133842270 100000 0 Training & Capacity Building 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 653208 0 Build It Back Parodneck Foundation 121 Sixth Avenue Suite 501 New York NY 10013 112229635 100000 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 34023 0 Build It Back South Brooklyn Legal Services 105 Court Street Brooklyn NY 11205 132605605 375000 0 Legal services 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 287193 0 Build It Back 30 0 Neighborhood Recovery Fund 79 294467 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.
