Outreach Experience. LACADA is the Community Engagement and Navigation Services (CENS) provider for Service Planning Area 7 (SPA 7), and we conduct daily bilingual, multicultural outreach/engagement throughout L.A. County, including street outreach. LACADA reaches our service groups via multiple MOUs with community partners, including a partnership to operate the 50-bed treatment unit at the L.A. Mission on Skid Row. We have superior ability to reach people involved in the criminal justice system. LACADA is co-located in L.A. County courtrooms (Downey, Bellflower, Norwalk, East Los Angeles, Long Beach, and L.A.'s new "Rainbow Court"), and we are one of only three SUD treatment providers working inside the L.A. County jail system. LACADA has a seat on the new Re-Imagine L.A. County Commission to advocate for alternatives to incarceration. Via successful outreach and strong MOUs with community partners, LACADA served 3,750 treatment patients in 2018-19, with a 15% increase to 4,313 patients in 2019 (pre-pandemic). 12723006 Residential Services: Served 961 in 22/23Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LACADA) offers the County a distinctive 26-year record of accomplishment in the delivery of 24-hour residential treatment serving low-income and unhoused residents of L.A. County. LACADA is fully CARF accredited and held to the highest standards of quality care for our patients. We have unmatched expertise in the design and delivery of evidenced based residential treatment for people of color, LGBTQ+ patients and persons who are involved in the criminal justice system. LACADA operates 199 state-licensed residential beds for SUD and mental health treatment with gender-specific, Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW), Coed, and LGBTQ+ sensitive programs, including a Crisis Residential Treatment Program for mental health patients. LACADA also operates a 112-bed correctional residential treatment facility for CA Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). A BIPOC-led agency, LACADA designs services dedicated to equity for and leadership by the marginalized communities we serve. Our treatment programs are grounded in social justice, healthcare equity and adherence to National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) in Health and Health Care. LACADA has used an evidenced based strategy to deliver residential services since 1995. Of our treatment participants, 100% are low-income; 85% are people of color; 95% of residential patients at intake are unhoused; and 80% have been involved with the criminal justice system. All have multiple negative social determinants of health. To meet their needs LACADA uses culturally responsive, trauma-informed, person-centered recovery-oriented system of care. 11199894 140641 Homeless Services: Served 1000 RBH patients in 22/23LACADA headquarters is in Santa Fe Springs, CA. Our program facilities are located in Alhambra, Pasadena, Altadena, Bellflower, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Whittier, downtown Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Long Beach - with new facilities continuously in development. LACADA has provided unhoused street outreach, case management, and crisis housing placement since 1971, beginning with unhoused veterans returning from Vietnam with trauma and addiction issues. Today, 95% of our residential clients are unhoused at program admission. We work with the L.A. County Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) within a large network of service providers to connect our unhoused clients with needed care. The key to LACADA's unhoused services approach is the utilization of non-judgmental, trauma informed, recovery-oriented, and culturally/linguistically appropriate multi-disciplinary teams. Our teams include Outreach Workers, Mental Health Clinicians, Substance Use Disorder Counselors, Case Managers, and skilled medical personnel. Collectively, they have the skills needed to engage and screen persons experiencing homelessness and link them to critical services for targeted and intensive care coordination. Service linkage for this project will include priority placement in LACADA's extensive continuum of care (residential, intensive outpatient, outpatient treatment); emergency housing beds; transitional housing beds; supportive services, including linkage to health care, permanent housing, and workforce development services. LACADA's broad continuum of evidence-based care for homeless services and alcohol, drug, and mental health disorders includes: 124 state-licensed residential treatment beds; 16 state-licensed residential beds for mental health crisis stabilization; 244 Recovery Bridge Housing (RBH) beds for the unhoused (including 45 beds in LGBTQ+ Affirming or exclusive programs; 32 beds co-located in the Los Angeles Mission on Skid Row; and 71 RBH beds in the San Gabriel Valley); Over 500 state-certified outpatient slots; Jail-based treatment in Men's Central Jail and Pitchess Detention Center North Facility; Court-based treatment referral and navigation (Alhambra, Pasadena, Bellflower, Downey, Long Beach, Norwalk, and East L.A. Municipal Courts, as well as L.A.'s "Rainbow" Court, the nation's only LGBTQ+ Affirming Community Collaborative Court); and School-based treatment in El Rancho Unified School District. LACADA offers services via our own behavioral healthcare resources. LACADA provides a comprehensive clinical assessment of each resident we serve; with a resulting service plan detailing action steps to achieve stable housing and other client goals and objectives. Using the evidence-based practice of intensive case management, our Navigator will work within a well-established multiservice network of community partners to link clients with crisis shelter, permanent housing, education, employment, and volunteer opportunities (for those who cannot work), as well as diverse supportive services. LACADA already works closely with the L.A. County Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) in each Service Planning Area to ensure a comprehensive, coordinated approach to local unhoused. LACADA delivers the Unhoused Services program in close coordination with Alhambra City Staff, the HELP Team, and other identified stakeholders to provide the following services for Arcadia's unhoused residents: Street Outreach. Our street outreach services incorporate the evidence-based core practices endorsed by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. Thus, street outreach is: 1) Systematic, Coordinated, and Comprehensive; 2) Housing Focused; 3) Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed, and Culturally Responsive; and 4) Emphasizes Safety and Reduces Harm. LACADA helps unhoused clients access the multiple services they need via our use of a modified Intensive Case Management model, an evidence-based practice. We will not limit our clients to a 50-minute hour with their Navigator (Case Manager) and will facilitate more time with each client so they can work across many different service systems with multiple community partners to unravel complicated issues. LACADA will facilitate client access to needed services via formal contracts, Letters of Commitment, and/or Memorandum of Understanding with multiple Arcadia community stakeholders. Access to Crisis Housing. As the largest provider of Recovery Bridge Housing (RBH) in Los Angeles County, LACADA helps unhoused individuals with behavioral health problems to get off the streets quickly. RBH stabilizes unhoused clients via peer recovery support with ancillary off-site outpatient treatment to help adults gain the skills needed to maintain stable housing. Services are designed to serve vulnerable unhoused community members with multiple and complex service needs. LACADA will use our extensive experience in providing comprehensive care for diverse, low-income populations in L.A. County that have reduced access to evidence-based services, specifically: Unhoused adults and those at-risk; Persons of color Justice involved; At promise youth and their families; Pregnant and parenting women and their children; LGBTQ+ individuals; Gang-involved individuals (LACADA works extensively with Homeboy Industries); Survivors of crime and intimate partner/domestic violence; and Perpetrators of domestic violence (separate court-ordered batterers program). Unhoused residents and those at risk will receive person-focused services tailored to individual client needs. These needs include: Crisis housing through motel vouchers and other local resources; Housing placement through the Coordinated Entry System; Counseling, case management, and peer support to break the cycle of experience homelessness; Treatment for alcohol, drug, mental health, and trauma disorders (as needed); Family counseling; Gang-focused counseling (provided in collaboration with Homeboy Industries); Life skills education to support independent living; HIV testing, counseling, and prevention services; Primary health clinics and service coordination with primary care providers; andCommunity organizing for unhoused service issues. As part of a systemic effort, street outreach will be conducted on behalf of the community (rather than one agency), with collaboration among multiple local stakeholders to make more strategic use of resources, provide more comprehensive coverage, and identify all Arcadia residents experiencing unhoused and at-risk. To accomplish this, LACADA will work closely with City staff, the school district, the L.A. County Coordinated Entry System (CES) and the Service Planning Areas HMIS to coordinate unhoused services and share data.To remain housing focused, LACADA uses a Housing First model. This means we will make immediate connections to emergency shelter or temporary housing to provide safe options while participants proceed on a pathway toward stability. Housing First also means, to the greatest extent possible, LACADA will not impose preconditions to permanent housing, shelter, or other temporary housing (such as sobriety, minimum income requirements, absence of a criminal record, completion of treatment, participation in services, or other unnecessary conditions).LACADA uses evidence-based practices, including a workforce trained on all staff levels to use a trauma-informed, person-centered approach focused on the client's strengths and resources. In delivery of street outreach, we never make assumptions about what a person might need or want. Instead, street outreach staff ask our unhoused clients to provide voice and choice in their services. We remain respectful and responsive to the beliefs and practices, sexual orientations, disability statuses, age, gender identities, cultural preferences, and linguistic needs of all individuals. Our street outreach efforts utilize harm reduction principles, including non-judgmental, non-coercive provision of services and resources with protocols in place to ensure the safety of all individuals seeking LACADA's assistance. 2369038 LACADA has experience offering HIV services to the community. Project 90 was launched and sunsetted with the objective to offer HIV prevention services to transgender women and men who have sex with men. Participants were paired with a peer mentor who assisted them in creating a treatment "passport" designed to help them overcome behavioral health risks.The Mobile Enhanced Prevention Services Program (MEPS) was a research project that used an app-based version of the Project 90 Passport.Now, we have our HIV Storefront Testing Program that provides test results in 1 minute. Persons who test positive are linked with medical care. Those who test negative are offered linkage to PrEP-a medication that can prevent HIV infection.The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Office of Violence Prevention and LACADA have, for a second consecutive year, entered into an agreement with 20 Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) that deliver Community Violence Intervention services in Los Angeles County. The selected organizations that are owned and operated by Black and Indigenous People of Color. Each of these CBOs have received a $50,000 mini grant to deliver violence intervention services and receive Capacity Building support and Training and Technical Assistance (TTA). The foundational premise of the program is that "it takes a village to heal a village." In other words, the people who are best suited to bring community change are the people to live, work and play in that community, and who reflect the lived experience of these residents. 2369038 42506141 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 17 0 1 646 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Margaret A Egnew CPA 5627777500 12070 Telegraph Rd 207 Santa Fe Springs CA 906708213 Arthur Monreal Asst.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by LACADA in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. LACADA's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.

These grants are part of a $2.1 billion effort aimed at expanding treatment facilities with a focus on racial and health equity in California, representing the largest provision of such resources in the state's history. The first project under this initiative involves the purchase and renovation of the Serenity House facility in Altadena. This facility will undergo renovations to double its capacity, resulting in 18 residential beds offering LGBTQ+ Affirming residential treatment at ASAM levels 3.1 and 3.5. Additionally, the second project will create 100 new treatment beds in the City of Lynwood. This BHCIP grant will fund the purchase and renovation for state-licensed residential treatment facility, with services also being LGBTQ+ affirming and targeting at least 75% of patients who are criminal justice-involved, primarily People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH). This accomplishment has been made possible through the collaborative efforts of the California Department of Health Care, L.A. County's Substance Abuse Prevention and Control Department (SAPC), and the dedicated team at LACADA. Despite the challenges, this milestone signifies a significant step towards offering second chances and a path to a clean, sober, and meaningful life for many individuals in need. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c LACADA's KE programs provide up to 45-days of emergency shelter to stabilize survivors of crime who have substance use and/or mental health disorders. Our shelter residents typically become victims of crime via interpersonal violence, in situations associated with alcohol and drug use, and through sex work, including LGBTQ+ victims. Victims who use alcohol and other drugs (and those with co-occurring mental health disorders) have special shelter needs. LACADA has a 50-year history in helping L.A. County crime victims with behavioral health issues to achieve sobriety, safety, stable housing, and independence. We work with the courts, the Probation Department, the Department of Children and Family Services, local jails, and the prison system to achieve this goal. LACADA is an LGBTQ+-affirming agency that specializes in services to low-income, disadvantaged populations, including victims of crime. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b LACADA's finance committee reviews the Form 990. The Form 990 is then reviewed and approved by the organization's CEO and Director of Finance. Subsequently Form 990, complete with all schedules, is then provided to the full board before filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c LACADA has a conflict of interest policy which covers the board of directors, officers, and employees ("covered persons"). It is the policy of LACADA that all officers, directors, and employees disclose any situation which does or may involve a conflict of interest between their personal interests and the interests of the organization. The organization maintains a record of all actual or potential conflicts of interest disclosed by covered persons. Financial transactions covered under the policy include: (1) Any transaction to which a corporation, its parent, or its subsidiary was a party, and to which a covered person had a direct or indirect material financial interest which involved more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or was one of a number of transactions with the same interested person involving, in the aggregate, more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). For this purpose, an "interested person" is either of the following: (A) Any director or officer of a corporation, its parent, or subsidiary (but mere common directorship shall not be considered such an interest); or (B) Any holder of more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of the corporation, its parent, or its subsidiary. The statement shall include a brief description of the transaction, the names of interested persons involved, their relationship to the corporation, the nature of their interest in the transaction and, if practicable, the amount of that interest, provided that if the transaction was with a partnership in which the interested person is a partner, only the interest of the partnership need be stated. (2) Any indemnifications or advances aggregating more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) paid during the fiscal year to any officer or director of such corporation unless that indemnification has already been approved by the board members. Situations that involve a conflict of interest between personal interests and the interests of LACADA must be discussed with management in order to protect the interests of both parties. While it is impossible to list every circumstance that may create possible conflicts of interest, the following should serve as a guide to the types of activities which may cause conflicts. 1. Disclosure or use of confidential, proprietary, or financial information of the organization, including information regarding projects, client costs, or systems to anyone not connected with the organization whether or not for personal profit. 2. A financial interest in an outside concern which does business with or is a competitor of the organization (except where such ownership consists of securities of a publicly owned corporation regularly traded on the public stock market). 3. Rendering of directive, managerial, or consultant services to any outside concern which does business with, or is a competitor of, the organization, except with the organization's knowledge and consent. 4. Unless such items or actions are readily available to the general public, acceptance of gifts of more than $25.00 value, loans, excessive entertainment, or other substantial favors from any outside concern which does, or is seeking to do business with, or is a competitor of, the organization, without full disclosure to and approval from management. 5. Representation of the organization in any transaction in which a personal interest exists. 6. Outside employment, directly or through an intermediary, which can or will adversely affect an employee's productivity or availability, including employment by competitor. 7. Removal of forms, books, records, and systems from the organization's premises for use by other firms. 8. No employee of LACADA may be employed by the County of Los Angeles or the State of California in any position which enables the employee to influence the award of any contract, nor may the spouse or economic dependent of an organizational employee be so employed. The above list is not intended as a substitute for good judgement. If an officer, director or employee discovers a situation which may possible give rise to a conflict of interest of which may in any way detract from the performance of the officer, director or employee's duties at the organization, disclosure should be made to LACADA in order to protect the interest of the cover person and the organization. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 LACADA's board of directors has a process for reviewing and approving the compensation of officers and key employees on an annual basis to determine it is fair and reasonable with the goal of retaining employees at compensation levels within appropriate market range. The process for determining the compensation paid to the Executive Director, officers, and key employees include the approval of the compensation arrangement in advance, by the board of directors, with all persons with a conflict of interest abstaining from the board's deliberation and discussion. The board reviews data of comparable positions based on CNM's annual compensation survey for Executive Directors/CEOs the documentation of the board includes the terms of the transaction and the date of approval, the members who were present during the debate and vote on the transaction, a description of the comparable data and how it was obtained, and documentation of the basis for the determination. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 LACADA will provide a copy of the tax return upon request for the current year. However current tax law does not require the governing documents, conflict of interest policy or financials be provided to the public.
