OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES
PART III, LINE 4D - Refugee and Immigration Services
CCLA began providing immigration assistance during World War II, when refugees sought safety on American shores. Today, most refugee clients seeking immigration services are coming from Iraq, Iran, Haiti, Somalia, Burma and both Central and South America. CCLA's immigration and refugee programs have insisted on legality, responsibility and independence. Services are structured to assist newly-arrived immigrants in learning English, obtaining education and training for jobs that will provide at least a living wage. American values and social norms are taught as well. Immigration Services provided services to 3,827 clients in 2012-2013. An example of their outreach is the large-scale citizenship workshop in North Hills where over 100 received naturalization and application services. Refugee Resettlement (RRP) offered an array of services such as ESL classes, mentorships, life skills orientations and job readiness workshops to help recently arrived refugees and asylees adapt to the new U.S. culture, gain self-sufficiency and smoothly integrate into mainstream society. Most clients are referred to the program through United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services which is partially funded by the Departments of State and Health & Human Services. Asylee and Trafficking Victims clients are referred through family, friends, and local government entities. In 2012-13 RRP provided help to 3,764 clients. Clients are served by our staff members who are all former refugees or asylees themselves. Languages used to help clients included Arabic, Armenian, Cambodian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Farsi, French, Greek, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Our Esperanza program granted direct legal services, orientations, education and advocacy to detained immigrants, including children, who would otherwise have no access to legal counsel. Esperanza travels to a variety of immigration detention centers in the LA region, including the Mira Loma Detention Center in Lancaster, the LA County Men's Central Jail and Crittenton Services for Children and Families in Fullerton, CA. Legal assistance, orientations, advocacy and/or education was provided to 5,420 men, women and children who were detained. Substantial funding comes from the government. The types of legal remedies that Esperanza pursues on behalf of our clients include special visas for abused, abandoned and neglected children and asylum for people fleeing persecution or torture in their home countries. In May 2013, Esparanza was one of four organizations chosen by the US Department of Justice to provide legal representation to immigrants who are mentally ill. This is a pilot for a national program. Over 20 volunteer attorneys, law students, and other professionals partnered with Esperanza to provide hope, and advance social justice, to the communities' most vulnerable immigrants. Our Central Intake Unit (CIU) is contracted by the County of LA to provide assistance to refugees and immigrants through two programs Refugee Employment Training Program (REP) and Community Services Block Grants. CIU served 3,130 clients with over 10,075 services such as case management, job services and life-skills workshops. Refugees are referred for CIU services from LA County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS). Through the REP program 260 individuals entered the workforce. In the Home Based Child Care Training Program, 20 refugee women prepared to open their own child care businesses. CIU services provided include creating a family self sufficiency plan, explaining participant rights and responsibilities, and referring to clients to other appropriate services.
Board Member having a family relationship with another Board Member
Part VI, Section A, line 2: Board Member having a family relationship with another Board Member Out of our 41 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. Part VI, Section A, Line 6: Organization Members and Stockholders The Incumbent Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles is the sole member of the corporation. Part VI, Section A, Line 7A: Election of Governing Body Members by Members Trustees, other than those serving by virtue of being an authorized regional or program representative, are appointed by the Member. Part VI, Section A, Line 7B: Member Approval of Governing Body determination 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. Part VI, Section B, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process 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. Part VI, Section B, Line 12C: Written Conflict of Interest Policy 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. Part VI, Section B, Line 15A & 15B: Determination of Compensation 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. Part VI, Section C, Line 19: Disclosure of Organization Documents 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. Part VII, Section A: Reasonable Efforts 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 9
"Other changes" in net assets or fund balances is comprised of the unrealized increase in value of the beneficial interest in separate organization of $1,460,929 that is required to be recognized in our audited financial statements but are excluded from revenues and expenses in the 990.
