The Coalition for the Homeless Inc

“Before the 990 is signed, filed, and distributed, the coalition's accountant compares the numbers with the annual audit report to verify that the amounts shown on the return are consistent with the audited figures. Secondly, the director of finance reviews the return for consistency and accuracy. The executive director completes the final review and the return is then finally approved by the treasurer for the board of directors before it is provided to the full board before filing.”

“Each director, officer and member of a committee with board-delegated powers annually signs a statement that affirms that such person has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, read and understands the policy and agreed to comply with the policy. The management of coalition for the homeless and the board of directors consistently look for particular situations that may give rise to conflicts of interest. Full disclosure, in writing, is required by all interested parties- employees, volunteers, suppliers, contractors, and board members as detailed in the employee's handbook and the coalition's conflicts policy. Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with board delegated powers that have a direct or indirect financial interest has the duty to disclose, in connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, the existence of his or her interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. If a conflict of interest arises, any board member or staff person having any conflict of interest and appearance of conflict of interest will not vote or provide determining consideration on the matter, including the executive director, an ex officio member of the board of directors who has a voice, but not a vote with respect to matters considered by the board of directors. Meeting minutes will reflect this disclosure and the abstention from voting by the individual.”

“It is the policy of the coalition for the homeless that the board of directors review the compensation of the executive director. The top management official's and other officers' compensation review process includes comparable data, discussion and deliberation. The last compensation review took place in november 2023. It is the policy of the coalition for the homeless that the board of directors performs oversight responsibilities regarding annual salary review of key employees and the general staff.”

“The conflict of interest policy, governing documents and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.”
