ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Organization is exempt from income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though they are subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded under the Code. The tax years ending 2007, 2008 and 2009 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have any impact on the Organization's financial statements. CONTRIBUTED SERVICES SCHEDULE D, PART XII, LINE 2B, PART XIII, LINE 2A Contributed services were provided by Covenant House Faith Community (the "Community") members. Community members are full-time volunteers who commit themselves to a year of service to runaway and homeless youths.

PART III, LINE 2 In 2009, Covenant House opened up Nancy's Place in Montclair New Jersey. Please see Attachment 2 for more information about this program service activity. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES FORM 990, PART III - OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES (LINE 4D) In addition to the programs specifically listed in Part III, Covenant House undertakes a variety of other programs that aid and assist the underprivileged. A sampling of such programs are: Raphael's Life House Mother/Child Program Our mothers and babies program in Elizabeth house 12 young women and their newborns, while the new moms learn to become good parents with the ability to support themselves and their children. Young women with health problems and other issues can receive treatment in our on-site medical clinics and participate in other CHNJ programs. In 2010, we completed extensive renovations at Raphael's Life House. During the previous year, Covenant House acquired the 125 convent that houses the moms and babies program to ensure the program would continue to be a safe haven for young families as long as they need us. Nancy's Place (Montclair) In 2009, we opened a program especially for mentally ill homeless youth called Nancys Place in Montclair. In response to the special needs of this unique population, the program is staffed 24 hours a day, and offers the intensive care these young people need to become self-sufficient and independent. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES Career Development - Our education teachers help our kids reach their educational goals, from enrolling in school, getting their GED, to applying for college. Our vocational programs give them the tools they need to learn to obtain a job. They learn how to write a resume, where to look for work, and how to dress and prepare for an interview. Medical - We provide premiere comprehensive medical care free of charge to every young person we serve. With a full-time Pediatric Nurse Practitioner on staff, we are able to give them the care they need. In addition, we have close working relationships with area hospitals when specialty care is needed. We work together with our community to provide each young person with a comprehensive physical, treat their chronic illnesses and offer preventative education and care. Addictions - Our Substance Abuse Coordinator helps youth overcome their addictions on an outpatient basis on site. We also work closely with several inpatient rehabilitation programs so if any one of our youth needs additional help, we can help them by referring them to the appropriate programs. Our addictions specialists offer counseling to our kids who are struggling with addictions or are in recovery and teach preventative didactic classes. Youth Advocacy Center - Our attorneys represent our young people in civil legal matters, including immigration, housing, public benefits, and are advocates for our youth in the criminal justice system. From obtaining Identification to becoming emancipated, our attorneys provide an array of much needed services to the kids. In addition, the Youth Advocacy Department is responsible for helping to create the Tuition Waiver Bill and the Homeless and Runaway Youth Act. Pastoral - Our Pastoral Minister provides spiritual guidance to our young people. Although our roots are in the Catholic Church, we are non-denominational and we accept youth of all religious faiths. The Pastoral Minister organizes staff and youth retreats, runs meditation classes, and helps youth with anything they need, from clothing, to finding furniture for their new apartments and just being a friendly face to talk to. Aftercare - We help our kids find and maintain more permanent living situations by connecting with them after they leave us. Many of the youth come back to us for guidance and we maintain contact as they adapt in their communities. Mental Health - About 90 percent of our kids have a mental health diagnosis, ranging from depression to schizophrenia. Our LCSWs access them, provide short-term counseling and connect them to ongoing services in the community.
