MissionAs a public interest law firm, NLSLA changes lives and transforms communities.

DescHousing and Eviction Defense:NLSLA believes access to safe and affordable housing is not only essential for individuals, families, and communities but also a fundamental human right. NLSLA housing advocates address systemic and complex housing issues through affirmative litigation, impact litigation, and policy advocacy. NLSLA advocates protect the rights of tenants and homeowners by preventing unlawful evictions and represent tenants living in Section 8 and other government-subsidized housing. NLSLA is the lead organization on the Shriver Housing Project-Los Angeles, which leverages the resources and expertise of four of Los Angeles' most prominent legal services organizations to provide self-help services and eviction defense to tenants. NLSLA is also a partner in Lawyers Preventing and Ending Homelessness (PEHP), a countywide partnership between legal service providers and homeless service providers. The program leverages advocates to preserve housing for individuals at-risk of homelessness and provides comprehensive legal services for individuals experiencing homelessness. NLSLA is a key legal partner in the StayHoused collaborative in Los Angeles County, which provides legal representation, information, and resources to prevent eviction. NLSLA also provides legal assistance to residents of mobile homes - the last form of affordable home ownership in California. In 2024, NLSLA closed 2,483 housing cases.Desc

DescHealth and Medical Legal Community Partnership (MLCP):NLSLA is at the forefront of health advocacy in California. NLSLA advocates utilize direct representation, policy advocacy, and impact litigation to resolve widespread health access and health equity issues and run the nation's largest network of Medical Legal Community Partnerships (MLCP), through which lawyers collaborate with healthcare providers in clinics and hospitals to address the social determinants of health. NLSLA piloted the project for the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. It proved so successful that today NLSLA's MLCP model is a permanent feature of the Los Angeles County health delivery system. NLSLA is also the largest member of the Health Consumer Alliance--a network of nine legal assistance programs operated by community-based legal services organizations across the State of California. As part of the alliance, NLSLA runs the Health Consumer Center--the largest project in the Alliance--which provides free legal information and representation to individuals struggling to access health insurance coverage or care and resolve problems with their health plans. Our advocates also work with clients to eliminate medical debt. This work includes challenging improper insurance denials, requesting financial assistance, overturning insurance denials, filing complaints with California's Department of Managed Health Care, working directly with providers and Medi-Cal, and State Fair Hearings. By utilizing these different strategies, in 2024, HCC's advocates successfully relieved more than $1,000,000 of client medical debt and recovered over $80,000 in bad medical debt. In 2024, NLSLA closed 1,893 cases related to health issues.Desc

Part IV, Line 2b:Client Trust Funds: NLSLA is a legal aid organization that at times holds client or third party funds in a client trust account.
Part X, Line 2:NLSLA is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701(d). In addition, NLSLA has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board not to be a "private foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23709 of the Taxation Code. 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 NLSLA in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. NLSLA's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Rental Income Expense 70,783. Fundraising expenses 155,947.
