• HUD HOUSING COUNSELING - HUD HOUSING COUNSELING PROVIDES NEEDED AND SOMETIMES REQUIRED COUNSELING TO HOMEOWNERS AND FUTURE HOMEOWNERS.

THE ORGANIZATION ALSO USES FUNDS FROM THE NATIONAL MORTGAGE SETTLEMENT FUND ("NMS"), WHICH IS BEING ADMINISTERED BY THE CALIFORNIA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY ("CALHFA"), TO SUPPORT ITS HUD HOUSING COUNSELING PROGRAM. IT PROVIDES FREE HOUSING COUNSELING SERVICE TO CALIFORNIA HOUSEHOLDS STRUGGLING TO PAY RENT, MORTGAGE AND LIVING EXPENSES.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
