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

ExplanationAll applicants are required to provide a 3 day pay or quit notice, unlawful detainer complaint for non-payment of rent or a utility bill. During a face-to-face assessment with a social worker, applicants are required to show proof of income to ensure they qualify for this assistance. The case is then transferred to an attorney who confirms the rent due with the landlord and negotiates a settlement agreement. The project coordinator reviews and approves the application and supporting documentation to ensure compliance with our funding requirements. A daily check register spreadsheet was created to record rental/utility assistance checks. The Director of Fiscal Management reviews the daily register for check sequence and dollar amount of disbursement.Explanation
