PART III, LINE 4D
COMMUNITY CENTERS (P28): At 20 strategically located sites, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles (CCLA)'s community centers are a first point of help for people in need. CCLA's Centers offer supportive services aimed at breaking cycles of poverty and homelessness in communities. Each center is unique in its approach and in its delivery of help, always responding to the community's needs. CCLA provides over 50 different types of services as defined by NTEE (National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities) coding system used by the IRS and non-profit rating and statistics gatherers. To make it easier to find us on the Web, we have coded a service with its NTEE code the first time it is mentioned in the following paragraphs. In addition to emergency services (P6) such as providing food (K31), clothing, rent and utilities' stipends, the centers deliver life-changing services, including: Child Abuse Prevention (I72), English as a Second Language (B90), Financial Literacy (P51), GED Preparation, Healthy Marriage Tools (P46), Homeless Prevention (P85, L30), Job Training (J22), Legal Assistance (I80), Linkages to other sources of support (P50), Literacy Sessions, Medical Counseling and Referrals (E90), Mental Health Treatment and Referrals (F30, F60), Nutrition and Healthy Food Classes (K40), Parenting Workshops (P40), Support for Substance Abuse Recovery (F20), Tutoring and more. Community Services provides services to the homeless and hungry individuals and families and unemployed at-risk adults. Ages range from infant to elderly. Some people are mentally and physically disabled and unemployable. Some are victims of crime or disaster, such as earthquake and fire. Case management is a client-centered, goal-orientated process for assessing the need of an individual or family for particular services and assisting them to obtain those services. Hunger has no boundaries. It affects every community and exists everywhere in the country. New research shows that 1.7 million people in LA County currently confront food insecurity and over 400,000 children face hunger. Food assistance from food banks and agencies like Catholic Charities (P20) has increased by 27% over the last three years in LA County and there is currently an estimated gap between supply and demand of 1.3 million pounds of food county-wide. Santa Barbara County has witnessed a 20% increase in food panty visits since the beginning of the crisis in 2008. Last year, CCLA provided over 350,000 food services consisting of bags of groceries, sack lunches, prepared meals and food distribution (K30) to low-income individuals and families. CCLA's 23 food pantries are situated in many of the poorest neighborhoods, where the need for food is great. For example, St. Robert's Center is the only food program on the westside of LA that is open on weekends. St. Robert's Center served meals (K35) and supplied toiletries, clothing, and food to over 2,700 homeless and low-income persons. Volunteers, made available through partnerships with six local Catholic parishes, assisted in preparing sandwiches and distributing other basic needs items. In South LA, St. Michael's Church partnered with CCLA to provide supplemental food to the needy residents of the areas around the parish. Food distribution was handled by a group of dedicated church volunteers. In the first six months, approximately 450 families benefitted from the program. CCLA's Lompoc Community Center helped over 5,000 individuals. In partnership with the Santa Barbara Food Bank and other food wholesalers, the Lompoc food pantry delivered 2.1 million pounds of food to clients. Rental assistance and utilities subsidies were just two of the over 80,000 other sources of aid offered to those in need. Loaves and Fishes Food Pantries in Van Nuys, Canoga Park and Glendale delivered food and clothing to low-income and homeless individuals residing in the mid-San Fernando Valley. Reflective of the poor economy, 73% of these clients accessed services multiple times. In the Hollywood area, St. Mary's Community Center assisted over 6,000 clients with their immediate needs for food, clothing, emergency shelter and linkage to community resources. Sack lunches were also prepared for the homeless who came to the center. A partnership with Queens Care and Christian Legal Aid enabled clients to receive basic medical care and legal consultations. El Santo Nino Community Center, set in a poor neighborhood of Central LA, primarily served children and youth through its Adeste Child Care Center and an after-school tutoring and mentoring program for middle and senior high school students. El Santo Nio's services, which included a very successful gang-prevention program, assisted approximately 400 (I21). St. Margaret's Community Center, which covers the Lennox, Inglewood and Hawthorne areas, assisted over 15,000 individuals with emergency food, shelter vouchers, rental and utilities payments, counseling, English and U.S. Citizenship classes, literacy programs and referrals to community resources. Local low-income residents also availed of the on-site application assistance for the Calfresh/Food Stamps Program run by LA County personnel. As one of the largest poverty programs in the city, the Glendale Community Center offered after-school programs for children and a Homeless Prevention Program. The center also helped families on welfare, disabled veterans, seniors on fixed incomes immigrants and refugees, and the working poor. Participants had access to job counseling, resume building services, rental assistance, motel vouchers and advocacy services. Guadalupe Community Center in Canoga Park helped at-risk, school age boys and girls between six and twelve years of age. The all day pre-school and after-school programs served over 40 low-income children (O50). The center also has programs to assist immigrants and refugees. The Day Labor Program in Burbank manages and operates a fixed hiring site where prospective laborers could assemble to lawfully solicit temporary employment without causing problems for the surrounding community. It is a collaborative effort between the City of Burbank, the Burbank Police and CCLA. The program served approximately 100 clients in 2011-12. San Juan Diego Center in El Monte and Brownson House Community Center in East Los Angeles served over 14,000 clients and delivered approximately 30,600 services. The Basic Needs Program supplied food, clothing, emergency shelter, transportation (P52), and utilities subsidies while the San Gabriel Valley Best Babies Collaborative referred teens and women with high risk pregnancies to life skills classes focusing on healthy births. Various weekly activities were arranged for over 180 clients, including a support group for stay-at-home women, education workshops, arts and crafts and Zumba exercise classes, open to all ages.

Part VI, Section A, line 2 Out of our 40 Board members, we have two married couples, Mr. Richard G D'Amico & Mrs. Susan D'Amico and Mr. Viktor Rzeteljski & Mrs. Mary Beth Rzeteljski who serve on the Board of Trustees. Organization Members and Stockholders Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The Incumbent Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles is the sole member of the corporation. Election of Governing Body Members by Members Part VI, Section A, Line 7A Trustees, other than those serving by virtue of being an authorized regional or program representative, are appointed by the Member. Member Approval of Governing Body determination Part VI, Section A, Line 7B The Member has the sole power to approve: 1) the election, appointment or removal of any Trustee or Officer, 2) any action, amendment or repeal of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, 3) the amendment or repeal of any amendment of the Board of Trustees which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable, 4) an adoption of a plan of merger or consolidation or a voluntary dissolution of the Corporation or revocation proceedings, 5) the authorization of a sale, exchange, mortgaging or encumbering of any real property (with certain exceptions) or adoption of a plan for the distribution of the assets of the Corporation and, 6) any self-dealing transactions. Form 990 Review Process Part VI, Section B, Line 11B The Board of Trustees delegated the review of the Form 990 to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviewed and approved the filing of the return. After the return was approved, the Form 990 was provided to all Board Members. After the form was provided to the Board members, it was electronically filed. Written Conflict of Interest Policy Part VI, Section B, Line 12C At the beginning of each calendar year, all Trustees are required to submit a "Conflict of Interest Questionnaire." They are asked to return the questionnaire before or at the first regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees of that year. The responses are tracked by the Executive Director's Office. The names of any Trustees who have not submitted their questionnaires in a reasonable amount of time are forwarded to the Corporate Secretary who continues to personally follow up with the Trustee until the questionnaire is returned. Determination of Compensation Part VI, Section B, Line 15A & 15B The Reverend Monsignor Gregory A Cox's compensation is comparable to other religious personnel, which is far less than normal executive director compensation. All other salaries (from highest to lowest) are set according ranges developed from external data derived from salary surveys and independent consultants' information. Compensation is reviewed annually. Disclosure of Organization Documents Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Our audited financial statements, the organization's 990, and our annual report can be found on our website. Our 990 is also available on Guide Star and Charity Navigator. Catholic Charities will also provide a copy of the 990 and other documents upon request. Reasonable Efforts Part VII, Section A CCLA has made reasonable efforts and exercised due care and diligence requesting compensation information for its current and former directors. However, not all of the requested information was provided to CCLA. Reconciliation of Net Assets Part XI, Line 5 "Other changes" in net assets or fund balances is comprised of two items that are required to be recognized in our audited financial statements but are excluded from revenues and expenses in the 990. These are unrealized gains on investments of $169,723 and the unrealized increase in value of beneficial interest in separate organization of $944,578.
