| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Access to affordable housing is central to stabilizing low-income households and providing opportunities for future success. Families and individuals earning low wages struggle to afford market-rate housing, even working several jobs, and are constantly at risk of losing their homes. Cornerstones Housing Corporation (CHC), a subsidiary of leading social services nonprofit Cornerstones Inc., not only owns and operates rental housing affordable to low-wage workers, but also ensures that residents have access to help empower with education, training and job opportunities. Since 1970, with the establishment of Cornerstones Inc in Reston, VA, the purpose of CHC has been to increase the availability of affordable housing, primarily for those experiencing or on the brink of homelessness. As of June 30, 2020, the CHC housing portfolio was comprised of 108 affordable housing units including 60 scattered site condos and townhouses in Reston, Herndon, and Centreville; and a 48-unit low-income housing tax-credit community. The majority of residents who live in CHC's housing are in very low-income households, with few if any other options for housing in the area. CHC manages all the units in the scattered site program and partners with Cornerstones' care managers, who help tenants set and achieve employment and education goals so that they can move forward financially. CHC oversees the operations of the Apartments at North Point, managed by a highly experienced private management company (Quantum Management Company). We continue to actively seek opportunities to partner in, develop, or purchase apartment communities. With Cornerstones, CHC also advocates for policies that address the root causes of poverty and in particular the stark lack of affordable housing in the DC region. CHC's Executive Vice President works with peer public and private leaders in affordable housing-related committees, task forces, and working groups. |
| Form 990, Part III, line 2 | During FY20 Cornerstones, Inc. entered into a joint venture agreement with Wellington Development, LLC, an experienced private developer of affordable housing, to develop affordable workforce and permanent supportive housing in Loudoun County, Virginia and referred to as Tuscarora Crossing. Cornerstones Housing Corporation will collaborate with Cornerstones, Inc. in the work on this project. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Exempt Organization's (EO's) Finance and Audit Committee reviews the draft tax return 15-30 days prior to filing. Management will answer all questions and provide supporting documentation as requested. The Board of Directors will receive a copy of the draft tax return 15 days prior to filing, with opportunity to address questions or comments to the Treasurer, CEO and CFO prior to filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Board of Directors and employees are required to abide by the agency's Conflict of Interest Policy. Directors are required to sign the Conflict of Interest form annually at the first meeting of the fiscal year. Board member refrains from voting where there is perceived or actual conflict of interest. Board members are required to report conflicts of interest when issues are before the Board. CEO reviews the conflict statements regularly. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a | On an annual basis, the Chairperson of the Board appoints a task force or members of the Board to facilitate the CEO performance review. The Chairperson of his/her designee facilitates the annual performance evaluation, seeking input from the CEO, Board, staff and stakeholders using agency evaluation tools, as assisted by the Human Resources Director. If performance or market conditions warrant a change in compensation, the Chairperson or his/her designee works with the Chief Financial Officer and Human Resources Director to gather information to guide the decision. Information that is regularly used includes market-based compensation survey data for the region and, when available, information obtained from Human Resources Directors of nonprofits of similar size and complexity. Upon completion of the evaluation, the Chairperson or his/her designee presents a report on performance and compensation to the Board of Directors. The meeting may be held in Executive Session. If approved by a simple majority of the Board members present, the Board Chair completes a personnel action form which is the formal record of the action. If a change in compensation or other action is required, the Board may adjourn the executive session and the formal record of the action is recorded contemporaneously in the minutes of the meeting. The Executive Committee will oversee a comparison of compensation awarded and that reported on the agency's 990 form on an annual basis. A similar process is followed by the CEO for the review and compensation of EO's executive leadership team or highly compensated executives. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | CHC makes available to the public its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and tax return upon request. CHC's tax return is also available at www.guidestar.org. |
| Form 990, Part XII Line 2c | The process has not changed from prior year. The Board of Directors appoints a committee to oversee the annual review of the financial operations of CHC and to commission the annual audit by the independent audit firm and to present findings to the Board of Directors. |
