| Program Service Accomplishments | Form 990, Part III, Line 4a: Lending Activities: Because no single approach alone can lift a family out of poverty, LIIF employs a holistic strategy that focuses on five priority programs--housing, child care, education, transit oriented development and health (through access to healthy food and health care clinics). These programs are supported by LIIF's federal policy presence that works to preserve and maintain community capital programs. LIIF uses innovative strategies to attract private capital to areas with underserved communities that would otherwise be out of reach. Since inception, we have provided over $1.8 billion to projects serving low income families and individuals, and these investments have leveraged nearly $8.7 billion in other capital investments. LIIF's work supports those most in need--of the 1.8 million people served through LIIF's financing and technical assistance, over 97% have been low income. LIIF's flexible and affordable capital fills a gap for community development organizations that are unable to consistently access loans from traditional financial institutions. LIIF makes direct loans through its revolving loan fund ("RLF") and other loan funds. LIIF also underwrites and packages loans acquired by banks, other intermediaries and conventional lenders through innovative program specific funds to support community development organizations across the nation. LIIF complements its loans with thorough, time-intensive technical assistance ("TA"). LIIF's TA guides organizations through real estate development, helping them develop and sustain their financial stability to ensure prudent planning and management of their financial obligations and ultimately, enables these community borrowers to ready their organizations to approach conventional lenders. Affordable housing is the cornerstone of LIIF's work, comprising half of the organization's historical activity. Since its inception, LIIF has invested more than $900 million to support the development of 67,000 units of affordable housing, which has produced enhanced living conditions and saved low income families more than $17 billion through reduced housing costs. Availability of affordable housing is vital in creating a foundation for family stability and community revitalization, and it plays a critical role in advancing family well-being--linked, as it is, to employment, wage gains, educational attainment and generally improved health for poor families. Education is a key component in enhancing opportunities for economic mobility and asset growth for low income households. LIIF launched its education program in 1998, and currently focuses in helping charter schools bring quality educational opportunities to underserved, distressed communities. LIIF's education program uses a three-pronged approach to achieve its goals: providing direct financing for schools, leveraging third-party capital for schools, and building the capacity of school developers and the education system. LIIF is one of the largest CDFI charter school financiers in the nation, having invested over $466 million supporting the development of 75,000 quality charter school spaces for low-income students. LIIF's Transit Oriented Development ("TOD") Program invests in projects that place affordable housing and vital community services close to accessible transportation. LIIF manages the $50 million Bay Area Transit-Oriented Affordable Housing ("TOAH") fund, an innovative structured fund that provides developers with flexible, affordable capital to purchase or improve available property near transit lines in the Bay Area. |
| Program Service Accomplishments | Form 990, Part III, Line 4b: Other Development Services: Other development services include key initiatives that support high quality early child care and transit-oriented development ("TOD"). Equitable Transit-Oriented Development ("ETOD") - LIIF's ETOD program responds to the need for financing solutions that provide flexible, affordable capital for projects that integrate community development investments with high quality transit systems. Through our ETOD program, LIIF provides technical assistance to other regions looking to employ ETOD strategies and create funds that support ETOD expansion in their cities. LIIF continues to expand ETOD strategies through our $50 million Bay Area Transit-oriented Housing Fund and is supporting the exploration of a new transit-oriented fund in Los Angeles. This year, LIIF is joining partners to host the 2016 Rail~Volution conference, a national gathering of transit leaders focused on improving access and opportunities for underserved communities. LIIF is also partnering with organizations in the health and environment sectors to launch a national initiative centered around ETOD strategies for low-income communities later this year. Early Childhood Education - In consultation with the Department of Education ("DOE"), LIIF designed and launched the Deutsche Bank Pre-K Capacity Fund to provide community based child care operators with access to no-cost bridge financing to enable them to secure operating permits, enhance facility quality, and be ready to provide services under a pre-K contract from the DOE. The Fund bridged funding that the City would provide upon pre-K contract registration with the City Comptroller. LIIF provided technical assistance to 16 organizations that applied for funding, focused on guiding applicants through the application and funding process. Eight of those organizations were funded. Partners in Progress - LIIF, in partnership with the Citi Foundation, provided grant funding, technical assistance, and focused group trainings to 14 community based organizations in 10 cities across the country through the Partners in Progress ("PIP") initiative. PIP was established to help advance economic progress in low-income communities by supporting "community quarterbacks". Community quarterbacks are trusted organizations that align objectives, resources, and efforts among cross-sector stakeholders to create strong, resilient neighborhoods. Over the course of the two-year program, the quarterbacks engaged over 400 partners to accelerate opportunity for more than 1 million people with the help of LIIF and Citi Foundation. |
| Program Service Accomplishments | Form 990, Part III, Line 4c: Child Care Program: Quality child care enables parents to work or attend school without worry for their children's well-being. LIIF launched its child care program in 1998, offering loans, grants and technical assistance to support the development of high quality child care slots for low income families. Since the program's inception, LIIF has provided trainings and workshops on the development and financing of child care center facilities and one-on-one technical assistance to providers. In addition, LIIF has offered millions of dollars in loans and planning grants. Its child care goals are accomplished through three primary funds: the award-winning Child Care Facilities Fund, the Los Angeles Emergency Bridge Fund, and the Fund for Children and Communities. |
| Program Service Accomplishments | Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: National Policy: LIIF designs and implements advocacy strategies to ensure the organization is active in federal policy initiatives relevant to its main program areas. The national policy program advances the policy agenda of LIIF, leveraging relationships and building dynamism around the organization and its mission of poverty alleviation. |
| Form 990 Review Process | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b: Grant Thornton LLP and the LIIF staff work together in gathering the required tax information necessary to complete the tax returns. The initial draft returns are reviewed by Grant Thornton and the LIIF finance staff; items are discussed and reviewed, with recommended changes reflected in the returns before filing. A copy of the tax return is provided to the Organization's Audit Committee appointed by the governing body before filing. The governing body has delegated review and approval of the tax return to the Audit Committee. The tax return will also be made available to the full Board, but will be done so after filing with the Internal Revenue Service for the June 30, 2015 fiscal year. |
| Conflict of Interest Policy | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c: Key employees and management officials are required to disclose immediately interests that could give rise to conflicts. Members of the board of directors are required to annually complete conflict of interest surveys identifying potential conflicts. The results of these surveys are communicated amongst the entire board to ensure all members are aware of potential conflicts that may arise during the year. Members of loan committees must recuse themselves from decisions that could give rise to conflicts of interest. In general, conflicts of interest are limited to individual transactions in which LIIF is considering undertaking with organizations with which a board member may have a relationship. As a result, it is relatively straightforward to monitor compliance. |
| Process Used to Establish Compensation of President & CEO / Key Employees | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a and 15b: Key employees, as defined by IRS regulations and including the Presdient & CEO, are included in annual compensation review and approval. An outside independent consultant conducts a review of comparable data drawn from various sources including industry data and compensation reported by similar organizations, including review of Form 990 filings. These summaries are presented to the Executive Committee of the board of directors (comprised of independent directors) which is responsible for reviewing compensation and recommending adjustments to the board of directors who approve the adjustments. Deliberations and decisions are substantiated. |
| Documents Available to the Public | Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19: LIIF makes available to the public its financial statements in summary form through its annual report, which is disseminated widely and available to others upon requires. The organization's by-laws, Form 990 filing, and conflict of interest policy are available upon request. |
