1. Project/Program Description:

Briefly describe the primary objective of the project/program y ou intend to operate including all major activities to be undertaken:

The Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Community Social Services Program proposes to expand its services to support low-income residents of Burbank, California. This program targets a vulnerable population facing various challenges, including limited English proficiency, senior citizens, disabled adults, immigrants and refugees, unemployed or underemployed individuals, and those at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Recognizing the high demand for services among Burbank residents, ARS seeks funding to continue our placement of a case manager directly within the community at the Burbank Youth Center. This strategic location allows for easier access and direct service delivery. Currently, over 25% of our Glendale office clientele come from Burbank. By establishing a presence within Burbank, we can better serve this population and reduce travel burdens. Our program offers a wide range of services designed to improve the overall well-being of our target population. These services include employment assistance, intensive case management, access and navigation of public benefits (CalFresh, CAPI, Medi-Cal, etc.), senior services, support for individuals at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness, assistance with housing and telecommunications issues, needs assistance and complaint resolution for telecommunications and utilities, and form completion support. The ARS possesses extensive experience in providing services to homeless populations and preventing homelessness. We have partnered with the City of Glendale's Continuum of Care Services, demonstrating our commitment to collaborative efforts. Since 2019, ARS has secured funding from various grant programs like ESG-CV2, CESH, and HHAP, allowing us to deliver successful homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing services. The ARS Community Social Services Program is well-positioned to effectively support Burbank's low-income residents through its experienced staff, comprehensive services, and commitment to collaboration. We believe this program will significantly contribute to achieving the goals outlined in the Burbank Homelessness Plan.

2. Project/Program
Activities:

Describe the activities you intend to provide using the CDBG funds:

The ARS Social Services program offers a comprehensive range of public services designed to empower low- income residents of Burbank, California. Our focus centers on three key areas: 1) Employment Opportunities: We help individuals gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to achieve self-sufficiency. This includes job search assistance, resume and interview skills workshops, soft skills development, assistance in overcoming employment barriers, and job placement support. 2) Supporting Seniors and Disabled Adults: Dedicated case managers work closely with this vulnerable population to help them maintain independence and safety in their homes. Services include individualized service plans to address specific needs like accessing public benefits, finding affordable housing, managing transportation, and obtaining assistance with utilities and telecommunications. We also connect clients with In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and provide food security assistance, along with general social services support. 3) Addressing Homelessness: We offer comprehensive support services to individuals struggling with homelessness or at risk of losing their homes. These services include intensive case management, assistance with public benefits applications, connections to mental health and addiction resources, help obtaining vital records, landlord-tenant mediation, healthcare coordination, and more.

Following intake, each client receives a comprehensive needs assessment. Based on this assessment, our case managers develop a personalized service plan to address their specific public service needs. Through these multifaceted services, the ARS Social Services program is committed to empowering Burbank's low-income residents to achieve stability, self-sufficiency, and a brighter future.

For 29 years, the Club has helped parents by providing a fun, safe, affordable after-school and day camp environment for over 3,900 children a year ages 5-18. Our programs are a great alternative for many young people who may otherwise be alone after school or during the day. Our staff are trained, friendly, and dedicated to serving the children’s needs, and each child is encouraged to participate in a variety of enriching artistic and educational activities and programs such as STEM, performing arts, athletics, homework assistance & tutoring, college and career readiness, community service and our DHH program. Fifteen percent of children in the United States participate in an after school program but an additional 18.5 million or an additional 30 percent of extremely low income and homeless families would participate if a quality program was available to them. The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank seeks to fill this gap in our community.

Allowing them a learning experience and respite from home, they are able to participate in healthy outdoor activities, leadership and team building that otherwise would be impossible due to the high cost of camps.

The average week of resident camp costs between $595 and $799 per week. Day camps run from $200 to $495 per week. The Campership Program provides the camp funding only . The resident camps or their contractor (ie. the church), and day camps hold their own liability insurance. The parents provide their own transportation to and from camp sites. We are only the match/payment agency with no office to insure.

3. Project/Program T
ime of Performance:

Describe your proposed schedule of performance and associated activities using CDBG funds:

Schedule and send 60 low income children attending BUSD to camp. Of those children we plan to send 60 children in person camps using CDBG funds. We will review to see where we obtained most participants to plan our outreach for future years. We want to offer this opportunity to all children at risk. Priority will be given to new applicants.

4. Project/Program Outcomes:

Describe your proposed outcomes that will result in a community benefit to low-to moderate income households
using CDBG funds:

Providing the opportunity for children ages 6-18 to experience a camping experience in a positive and outdoor setting, is a basis for building better adults. The children learn about leadership, cooperative living, nature, self reliance and self confidence. They come home with a feeling of self worth that perhaps their homes and schools did not provide. In later years, many come back and tell us that the one week away made such a major difference in their lives that things changed for them. Life took a different turn, from a negative one, to a more “I can do anything” one. In providing this assistance, the whole family benefits, as does the neighborhood and community as a whole.

More positive residents provide a lower crime rate, less homelessness, better work ethic, and more positive life for all. It encourages the extremely low income families to better themselves.

Since there has been a rise in the number of teen suicides, we need to focus on mental health and care for our teenagers. This is one way to support them. We are hoping more teens will apply this year.

Please describe your system of collecting the data (i.e. intake applications, web-based applications, etc) Families are targeted by their inclusion in the free and reduced price lunch program at Burbank Unified Schools, meaning that they meet guidelines and qualify for federal lunch fund for extremely low income families. They are requested to provide proof of participation in the lunch program by obtaining a letter from the food services department at the Burbank Unified School District main office. We also review tax statements, paychecks, Calfresh, welfare documentation or whatever other income information the family can produce to prove their financial status.

The information is provided by the family directly to us so as not to violate HIPPA laws. 100% of the recipients meet the 50% or below median income 'poverty' level for low to extremely low income. We identify the homeless population through sources of referral from Family Promise, Family Service Agency, School District, and through application review.

9. Project/Program Delivery Area:

This is a City wide program. Applications are available to all children attending schools in Burbank, whether they live within city boundaries or not. We distribute applications to the focus neighborhoods (at risk of homelessness, and lowest income) in Burbank. We distribute applications to our partner agencies including Family Promise, Family Service Agency, Kids Community Dental Clinic, Boys and Girls Club, BTAC, PFLAG, and Burbank Housing Corp. Forms may be filled out online at our website Burbankcc.org or printed out, completed and returned to the school district office, who sends them to BCC, mailed directly to Coordinating Council, or emailed to the BCC email address ([email protected]). Applications are also available in English, Spanish, and Armenian, from our website at www.burbankcc.org.

CITY OF BURBANK
FISCAL YEAR 2024-25

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

REQUEST FOR FUNDING PROPOSALS
Project/Program Summary
Operating Agency: Burbank Noon Lions Charity Foundation Project/Program Name: Indigent Eye Care & Ear of the Lion Type of Program/Project Public Service
Duration of Program/Project Multi-year Program
Type of Operating Agency: Non-Profit or For-Profit Organization

Total Amount Requested for FY 2024/25: $4,983

1. Project/Program Description:

Briefly describe the primary objective of the project/program you intend to operate including all major activities to be undertaken:

Burbank Noon Lions is a Non-profit, all volunteer service organization, serving Burbank for over 50 years with NO paid staff. For the INDIGENT EYE CARE program, we provide free, comprehensive eye exams and prescription glasses for low-income/homeless in Burbank in coordination with local eye care professionals. Burbank Temporary Aid Center (BTAC) is serving as our screening center to determine eligibility for eye care services. During COVID, we coordinated with other non-profits in the community that could verify the eligibility of clients they were referring and will continue this process. Applications for EAR OF THE LION are received/reviewed for completeness by a Lion volunteer and forwarded to the Lions Hearing Foundation in central CA. Ear of the Lion committee members/audiologists review the application, determining financial eligibility (using Federal guidelines) and hearing needs of the applicant. If approved, audiology services are often provided by the Burbank applicant's personal audiologist in conjunction with the Ear of the Lion program.

2. Project/Program Activities:

Describe the activities you intend to provide using the CDBG funds:

After eligibility is verified by referring agency and client statistical data is recorded by volunteer Lions, the client receives a Burbank Noon Lions Club REFERRAL form, which instructs the client to call our vendors for an appointment to have a comprehensive eye exam. Should the client need prescription glasses, the client is given the option to select their choice of frames (does not include designer brands). Essentially, once the client receives the Referral, all activity takes place at our vendor's place of business. A Memorandum of Understanding was established between the Burbank Noon Lions and Eye Care Optics to provide all services necessary, including exams and prescription glasses, at a reduced fee,

3. Project/Program Time of Performance:

Describe your proposed schedule of performance and associated activities using CDBG funds:

Our providing vendors send invoices for several Referrals (usually every 6 months or so) which allows volunteer Lions to process payment and determine which clients, receiving Referrals, contacted our vendors for service and received a pair of Rx glasses. When the invoices are received, we are made aware of the numbers served. As an ongoing project, the process to provide service continues throughout the fiscal year of funding.

4. Project/Program Outcomes:

Describe your proposed outcomes that will result in a community benefit to low-to moderate income households using CDBG funds:

Our target clients are mainly homeless, very low and low income level individuals and families. The gift of sight is the benefit to our clients. Being able to see clearly enough to read and complete a form (for instance: applying for local, state and Federal government assistance) read warning labels on food or medicine, watch a movie, read a book for enjoyment or educational purposes, obtain information from the Internet, communicate electronically and even to walk, take a bus or drive safely are all part of the benefits. The goal is to provide 32 people with needed vision services, based on the final allocation (if awarded funding).

REQUEST FOR FUNDING PROPOSALS
Project/Program Summary
Operating Agency: Family Service Agency Of Burbank
Project/Program Name: FSA- Residential Therapeutic Care for Homeless DV Families Type of Program/Project Public Service
Duration of Program/Project Multi-year Program
Type of Operating Agency: Non-Profit or For-Profit Organization

Total Amount Requested for FY 2024/25: $40,000

1. Project/Program Description:

Briefly describe the primary objective of the project/program you intend to operate including all major activities to be undertaken:

To end the threat of homelessness and violence in the lives of vulnerable families and individuals and to ensure their transition to safe, stable, permanent housing, allowing them to live happy, healthy, meaningful lives.

Due to the ever-increasing number of homeless in our state, homelessness continues to be at the forefront of the political and social scene as a public health and safety challenge which requires a community-coordinated/multi- disciplinary response. Los Angeles County has spent billions of dollars over the past several years with little enduring success. While many programs offer temporary assistance, most have extremely high rates of recidivism, often because they provide short-term housing, but do not provide the holistic, well-coordinate, specialized interventions and supports necessary for long-term success. One especially vulnerable group in Burbank are families who are experiencing domestic violence.

Domestic Violence
As you are certainly already aware, domestic violence is the primary cause of homelessness for women and children in the United States. According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence, between 22 and 57 percent of women and children are homeless due to domestic violence, and 38 percent of victims experience homelessness in their lives due to domestic violence. Victims leaving abusers often experience homeless events multiple times. Each time they are forced to return to a batterer the violence intensifies.

When a victim of domestic violence makes the very brave decision to leave their abusive partner, safe and affordable housing is one of the primary barriers they will face. In a one-day survey conducted in 2018, more than 56,000 adults and children fleeing violence found refuge in shelters. Out of 18,771 unmet requests for domestic violence services, 68 percent were for housing and shelter. In another nationwide study, more than half of victims needing housing did not receive them. Additionally, victims and their children often have limited resources, limited employment skills, lack of family support, trauma symptoms, and a loss of 70% of their income, among other barriers, which makes their ability to find stability without assistance impossible. Though emergency and short-term shelter can be a source of immediate temporary safety, long-term transitional housing programs offer victims a stable housing option and supportive services from which long-term safety and stability can be built, and healing can take place.

In response, Family Service Agency of Burbank (FSA), founded in 1953, has been providing holistic, multi- disciplinary, therapeutically supported, long-term transitional housing to families and individuals for over 18 years.

This began as a very natural, and needed, outgrowth of our long-established domestic violence services. The CARE Cottages at Puerta Nueva (Est. 2006), developed in partnership, shelters 5 families with a unmatched 3- year stay. This allows families the time necessary to heal and work on self-sufficiency goals vital to their long-term success. This has proven to be a highly efficacious intervention program in our community for two (2) decades.

2. Project/Program Activities:

Describe the activities you intend to provide using the CDBG funds:

FSA believes that all individuals and families should live a life that is safe, healthy, and meaningful and that is what we strive to accomplish through our residential programs. Our program provides not only housing, but also; holistic, multi-disciplinary, comprehensive and individualized, counseling, advocacy, intervention and preventions services, all of which are vital to positive outcomes.

With the growing need for therapeutic treatment and services revealed and exacerbated by the pandemic, social upheaval, and subsequent instability felt by many, FSA stands uniquely poised to continue to provide vital, relevant, support to families expiring violence. Our greatest need, at this time, is a specially trained, bicultural/bilingual advocate. It is well know that a culturally compatible approach to services is most effective in increasing positive outcomes. Additionally, an advocate with experience in housing, and relationships in the community, will be a great asset with the cost of rents increasing 20-30% over the past few years, with only a nominal rise in incomes. We know that continuing to broaden and deepen the agency’s expertise in culturally sensitive service and advocacy delivery via a specialized bilingual bicultural advocate with demonstrated experience in housing and service delivery will enhance the transitional housing experience and efficacy for residents who have been left vulnerable/traumatized by life experiences beyond their control.

We hold great appreciation for our continued partnership and the City of Burbank’s visionary leadership, and we hope that this will be yet another service area that we can agree is vital to the continued development of Burbank’s ATTACHMENT 3 - 25

With that, we are humbly requesting $40,000 in funding to address families fleeing violence in our community and the continuing need for bilingual, culturally compatible, service provision.

3. Project/Program Time of Performance:

Describe your proposed schedule of performance and associated activities using CDBG funds:

FSA’s CARE Cottages (est. 2006) is an on-going, multi-year program, which services will be performed on a continuing basis, with activities as descried below.

MAJOR ACTIVITIES: Treatment, Intervention, Advocacy
Prior to and throughout our client’s residency, Burbank’s Family Service Agency currently relies on 13 major activities/strength indicators (see Attachment I) as a focus of care/intervention/advocacy widely found to increase the probability of positive outcomes for traumatized families residing in therapeutically supported long-term transitional housing.

Of course, these are “just indicators” and therefore cannot account for all that is human – but we have found them to be a highly reliable general assessment/guidance tool.

Implementation – Treatment Plan (TP)
All Burbank Family Service Agency clients work with a multi-disciplinary therapeutic team to create their Individualized Mental Health Treatment Plan (TP). Currently, all entering FSA’s long-term therapeutic residential community will also work with their team to design an Autonomy Plan (AP). This plan serves as an additional focus for specific care/intervention/advocacy and as a measurement of progress towards their desired autonomy – self- sufficiency – towards a trauma/violence-free future – new personal healthy empowerment! Autonomy Plan (AP)
The AP is utilized as a daily guide and is formally reviewed monthly. Each adult resident and age-appropriate minor meets with their assigned Program Director and/or Lead Advocate to review and reflect on their individual and/or family’s current strengths and/or challenges. It is time spent honoring growth while identifying existing or emerging challenges.

All homeless prevention program clients are provided with the following:

Long-term, up to 3 years, safe, confidential housing
Financial Planning and Education (long and short-term goals) Mental Health Services- Individual, Family, and Group
Legal Advocacy/ Coordination
Restraining order preparation
Financial Planning and Education (long and short-term goals) Career and Education Planning
Transitional life coaching
Life skills education
Clinical Case Management
Peer Support- DV Program
Social Service Advocacy
as well as individualized interventions, and supports

Appropriate supports allow for the greatest possibility of success. Through the CARE Cottages, households are provided with treatment, intervention, and advocacy supports, which will allow them the best opportunity for success in the future.

To date, FSA's program has seen NO RETURN TO A BATTERER after successful completion from our CARE residential program. And all residents have exited these programs with increased job skills, education, stability, and goals for the future well developed, and FSA’s continued support as needed.

Project/Program Name: Homeless Outreach Services
Type of Program/Project Public Service
Duration of Program/Project New Program
Type of Operating Agency: Non-Profit or For-Profit Organization Total Amount Requested for FY 2024/25: $43,000

1. Project/Program Description:

Briefly describe the primary objective of the project/program y ou intend to operate including all major activities to be undertaken:

Home Again LA intends to operate a Homeless Outreach Services program that focuses on Burbank residents who are experiencing homelessness. Our Homeless Outreach Services program will provide support to families with children in our community who are experiencing homelessness or on the verge of homelessness. We will respond to referrals by, but not limited to, non-profits, churches, city departments and the school district, who come across a family with children who are homeless; sleeping in their car, living in a motel or living with other families in an apartment not meant to house more than one family. The primary objective is to be a resource to the unhoused by providing outreach and directing clients to programs that can provide immediate shelter, rapid rehousing, security deposit assistance, and motel vouchers; all of which HALA provides through its network of programs.

2. Project/Program
Activities:

Describe the activities you intend to provide using the CDBG funds:

Utilizing the funding that may be available through the City of Burbank CDBG grant we intend to be able to pay a portion of our 100% full time dedicated team member who will oversee our outreach efforts. Furthermore, we will utilize funds to make certain the program has the financial resources to respond on the field work that may come our way through referrals. This can be in the form of transportation costs, supplies and communications to get hold of the clients and vice versa.

3. Project/Program T
ime of Performance:

Describe your proposed schedule of performance and associated activities using CDBG funds:

If funded, we intend to hit the floor running effective July 1, 2024, and provide immediate outreach support to households in need of our services. On July 1 we will send emails with flyers about the program to the Burbank non-profits, schools, and city departments to make certain they have appropriate contact information for HALA if a referral is going to be made. All other services of daily outreach will begin in July and will be an ongoing responsibility from our team.

4. Project/Program Outcomes:

Describe your proposed outcomes that will result in a community benefit to low-to moderate income households
using CDBG funds:

Our outcomes include serving 50 unduplicated households (a household may contain more than one person, thus increasing the total number of individuals positively impacted). We strive to secure immediate shelter, meals, and supportive services for all 50 households within the first seven days of engaging.

Of the 50 households served we intend to secure permanent housing for 40 households.

Of the 40 households we strive to place into permanent housing, we aim to make certain all 40 households successfully maintain their new housing up to one year after the culmination of our program.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

REQUEST FOR FUNDING PROPOSALS
Project/Program Summary
Operating Agency: Upwards
Project/Program Name: BOOST
Type of Program/Project Special Economic Development
Duration of Program/Project New Project
Type of Operating Agency: Non-Profit or For-Profit Organization

Total Amount Requested for FY 2024/25: $152,000

1. Project/Program Description:

Briefly describe the primary objective of the project/program you intend to operate including all major activities to be undertaken:

Upwards’ Business Operation & Optimization Support Tools (BOOST) Program provides personalized business support and critical technical assistance to childcare providers operating in-home daycares. These facilities employ fewer than 5 employees and serve children ages 0-5 and up to age 13 with before and after school care. BOOST individually coaches providers over 12 months, providing professional guidance and digital tooling that allows these microenterprise businesses to build sustainable operational models. The goal of the program is to expand economic opportunities for local childcare entrepreneurs by equipping them with the tools and training needed to efficiently manage and grow their facilities. The program would expand economic opportunities for daycare providers by training them to use essential tools to make their operations more efficient. This enables them to reach their full revenue potential and stabilize their jobs in the childcare industry. BOOST delivers personalized coaching and introduces providers to best practices for stabilizing revenues, controlling costs, and sustaining quality care operations over the long term. Services also include: marketing support, family matching services, enrollment automation, electronic billing and payment administration, curriculum management, and more. These childcare businesses play a vital role in supporting many LMI families who depend significantly on their services for stable employment and housing. BOOST also directly contributes to the retention and creation of LMI jobs by keeping existing childcare providers in operation and enabling them to hire additional staff to expand their capacity.

2. Project/Program Activities:

Describe the activities you intend to provide using the CDBG funds:

The BOOST Program is an Economic Development, Microenterprise Assistance Program geared towards supporting licensed in-home daycare providers in Burbank. This program would provide business and technical support throughout the program year, including a childcare management software system that digitizes the daycare's operation via their smart device with enrollment automation, real-time capacity monitoring, matchmaking support, online marketing, and more.

In addition to the technical support, each childcare provider is paired with a dedicated Care Specialist, serving as a reliable mentor focused on their success. These Care Specialists are seasoned professionals well-versed in the nuances of the childcare sector. They act as steadfast contacts for the providers, offering advice, resolving queries, and imparting critical insights. Through personalized coaching sessions and training, Care Specialists empower providers to adopt industry best practices and build a solid groundwork for their child care enterprises.

Upwards has identified 57 daycares within Burbank's city limits. We are aware the City awards its CDBG funding to several sub-recipients and wants to be respectful of the other community partners. Therefore, Upwards requests $152,000 to pay for the program expenses to run BOOST for one year. This will benefit 19 LMI daycare owners, potentially create 7 LMI jobs, increase each childcare provider’s skillset, and can benefit up to 228 LMI families seeking childcare. This program will be made available to all licensed home daycares in Burbank, and applicants will be prioritized based on their level of risk and need.

Per HUD Matrix Code 18C, CDBG funds would go to Upwards to provide the micro-enterprise technical assistance to eligible childcare providers. CDBG funds will specifically finance portions of salaries and associated fringe benefits for key staff members integral to the
execution of the BOOST program. Upwards commits to leveraging its resources to match CDBG funding, thereby covering all remaining expenses associated with the program. This includes the costs for management software access and customization, marketing materials, translation services, program supplies, and operational overheads.

This strategic financial planning allows CDBG funds to concentrate on supporting the program's core human resources, while Upwards' contribution enhances the program's overall infrastructure and capacity for delivering sustainable success to the childcare providers we aim to support.

3. Project/Program Time of Performance:

Describe your proposed schedule of performance and associated activities using CDBG funds:

The BOOST program will commence with a 3-month outreach and marketing campaign to inform potential participating childcare providers about the opportunity. Marketing activities will utilize both broad channels like digital advertisements as well as targeted grassroots outreach through community organizations. The goal is to guarantee equitable access to the program for all qualified home daycares in the area.

In the first quarter, the BOOST team will accept and process provider applications to formally enroll in the program.

Applicants will complete intake forms allowing staff to verify income, document household size, and collect baseline operational data like number of children served. Our aim is to have the majority of the 2024-2025 BOOST cohort ATTACHMENT 3 - 35
4/12/24, 11:08 AM City Data Services - Burbank
https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/burca/app2024arc.pl?rpt=A875&prop=183 2/7 finalized by the first day of the second quarter.

Formal program operations will kick off on in the second quarter with provider coach assignments and initial business evaluations wrapping up that month. Concurrent priorities are training participants on the childcare management software platform and conducting outreach to registered families with open slots at participating daycares to maximize enrollments.

Robust business support and technical assistance will continue for the remainder of the program year. Hands-on coaching will be provided extensively to each provider over that stretch. Ongoing assistance will focus on financials, marketing, staffing, licensing navigation, and other key operational areas - the tools to foster growth.

The BOOST team will administer quarterly anonymous feedback surveys to gather qualitative and quantitative insights from both enrolled providers and families accessing their services. Surveys will help evaluate user satisfaction, pinpoint program pain points, and highlight potential areas for improvement. As the program year closes, final outcomes will be reported including metrics like the percentage of participants achieving target revenue increases. The goal is for providers to exit the program with strengthened business foundations and long- term viability that persists independent of continued public funding.

4. Project/Program Outcomes:

Describe your proposed outcomes that will result in a community benefit to low-to moderate income households using CDBG funds:

The goal of the BOOST Program is to provide comprehensive business and technical support to participating microenterprise child care providers, contributing to the establishment and maintenance of a robust and sustainable local childcare ecosystem. This enhances the overall sustainability of Low and Moderate Income (LMI) providers through operational stabilization and revenue maximization, which, in turn, improves the quality of life of the families they serve, creating a positive ripple effect throughout the City.

The BOOST Program identifies the following measurable outcomes:

Outcome 1: 30% of Program Participants Will Report 20% More Gross Revenue The BOOST Program will result in 30% of Program Participants reporting 20% more gross revenue by the close of the program year. The BOOST Program provides targeted marketing support that enables Program Participants to expand their capacity and earn more revenue by reaching maximum capacity.

Outcome 2: 19 LMI Jobs Retained & 7 LMI Jobs Created
The BOOST Program will result in 80% of participating child care providers remaining open throughout the program year and 30% of participating child care providers hiring a teaching assistant. That is 7 LMI childcare jobs created as a result of the business and technical support provided to Participating Providers to help them expand their facility capacity and digitize their operations.

Outcome 3: 30% of Program Participants Will Report Increasing the Total Number of Childcare Slots in Their Facility
The goal of the BOOST Program is to help program participants hire a Teaching Assistant to maximize their facility capacity so they can earn more and support more children in the community.

Outcome 4: Support LMI families with access to quality child care.

Of the families with children enrolled in participating daycares, 75% will report having reliable child care that matches their unique needs.

BOOST will measure and track its participants' various demographic and population characteristics to ensure accurate reporting and to measure the program's effectiveness. Upwards will submit monthly and quarterly reports to the City to evaluate the success of the objectives and ensure the communities being served are those that need it most. Microenterprise participants are required to report their income and household size to determine their LMI eligibility. If reports indicate that the desired populations are not being reached and/or served, Upwards will adjust its outreach strategy to make the program more accessible and equitable to LMI providers and families in need.

BOOST thoroughly evaluates each daycare provider's business before, during, and after the program. Upwards is capable of capturing thousands of data points and will create thorough reports for the CDBG staff. The preliminary evaluation will be used as a baseline to compare a daycare’s progress throughout the program. Demographic information collected upon intake includes income, household size, facility size, industry experience, certifications and level of education, race/ethnicity, and age. The Care Specialists who assist the daycare providers use a centralized database to observe local trends and will communicate with the providers through app push notifications, text, or by phone. This means they can verify that a daycare provider has successfully received, read, and comprehended the information. With real-time data and feedback, Care Specialists can make nimble adjustments as needed.

BOOST will also obtain data via anonymous feedback surveys so participants, both childcare providers and families, can freely respond to questions about their experience. Family participants will have a similar pre and post-test collection of data that records income, employment, and frequency of childcare use. The key program indicators (KPIs) BOOST will use to determine the program’s effectiveness will be measured continuously throughout the year. These include:

The number of microenterprise childcare providers supported.

The number of teaching assistant jobs created.

The number of childcare provider jobs retained.

Number of new childcare slots created.

Revenue changes of daycare providers.

Number of trainings completed.

7. Project/Program Beneficiaries:

Please specify the Primary Beneficiary group, persons, families, or individuals your program or project intends to target.

The program is limited to a specific target population, micro-enterprise daycare owners, and documentation of their income is recorded to ensure at least 51% of participants meet the income threshold. The household size and annual income of each program participant are documented in the application they are required to fill out. Upon intake, income is determined by self-certification by all participants. Source documentation like a W2 and/or bank statements will be collected from participants as suggested by HUD's CDBG guidelines. We require at least 51% of participants qualify as LMI, however we anticipate 100% of participants will have income qualifying income.

Upon implementation of the program, a thorough Provider Profile is created for each childcare provider, including proof of active license, comprehensive background check, copies of any licensing citations and clearances, and inspection reports. Upwards' providers are licensed and background-checked before being onboarded to our platform. Care coaches will review ratio schedules, activity plans, personnel rosters, environmental rating scale, and an individual environmental intake profile. The environmental intake profile will include equipment inventory records and descriptions, written policies for providing meals and snacks, and a ranking score after a full assessment. If a facility does not meet Upwards’ standards, Care coaches will provide resources to improve the quality of their facility.

9. Project/Program Delivery Area:

Not Applicable. All of the direct beneficiaries (micro-enterprise daycare owners) would live and operate their business within Burbank city limits. While it is encouraged to recruit the teaching assistants (LMJ) locally, it is possible a daycare owner could decide to hire a teaching assistant who lives outside of Burbank. Similarly, a client (family) could travel from outside of Burbank into the city for work and indirectly benefit from the BOOST program.

The target population for this program is low- and very low-income microenterprise owners who run licensed childcare facilities, also known as home daycares, within Burbank's city boundaries. This population is majority female-run, minority-owned microenterprise businesses who often serve as the primary income-earners in the household. Most of these childcare providers are located in opportunity areas and play a huge role in a neighborhoods revitalization efforts. The BOOST program is designed to accept participants based on a High- Risk/High-Need Assessments that reflect their personal situation and the area they serve. High-Risk factors include income, housing ownership (renters vs. owners), race/ethnicity, and other factors. High-Need Areas include zip codes with high populations of single-headed households, Black and Hispanic families with children under six years old, and schools with high participation in free or reduced-lunch programs.

11. Based on the CDBG funding requested, include the amount of private/public funds that will be leveraged to administer the program/project. Do not include any funds that a re committed to other programs/projects or in-kind
services, or volunteer hours.

Not Applicable. CDBG funds will specifically finance portions of salaries and associated fringe benefits for key staff members integral to the execution of the BOOST program. Upwards commits to leveraging its resources to match 17% of CDBG funding, thereby covering all remaining expenses associated with the program. This includes the costs for management software access and customization, marketing materials, translation services, program supplies, and operational overheads. This strategic financial planning allows CDBG funds to concentrate on supporting the program's core human resources, while Upwards' contribution enhances the program's overall infrastructure and capacity for delivering sustainable success to the childcare providers we aim to support.

13. Please indicate the funds your organization will consider or pursue, if applicable (Do not include fundraising campaigns).

Upwards has extensive experience working with government partne rs and administering federal funds. We operate
Federal, State, and Local programs and have become very familiar with government compliance, monitoring, and reporting requirements. On the Federal level, Upwards is currently facilitating childcare tuition payments and matching services for Army and Army National Guard Reservists. This program is broad in geographic scope and has required speedy product and tech adaptions to serve the unique needs of non-traditional care for military families. At the State level, Upwards is contracted with California to administer childcare subsidies to income- eligible families. This is funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). Upwards was awarded $2.065 million to provide direct tuition subsidies. Through our program, Uplift, Upwards expands access to quality childcare services in areas experiencing significant shortages. The program is designed to support high- need, low-income families, especially those facing a great housing instability risk. Uplift aims to establish a modern approach to an antiquated subsidy system to increase access to the most vulnerable families, making childcare truly more equitable.

On the Local level, this year Upwards is running its community program, BOOST, for various cities and counties across the country in California, Florida, Washington and more. Upwards has successfully harnessed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to significantly impact communities, particularly through its BOOST program, focusing on empowering local childcare providers.

The organization's reach expanded in FY2023, securing a substantial $354,000 in CDBG funds from municipalities including Palo Alto and Escondido in California, and Bellevue in Washington, to implement the BOOST program.

These funds were directed towards specialized coaching and business development for childcare providers, demonstrating Upwards' capability in managing and applying CDBG funds effectively across different regions.In addition to these cities, Upwards has also received over $1 million in CDBG support from several other municipalities, including Sonoma County, Tustin, Clearwater, Garden Grove, Rancho Cordova, and locations in North Carolina.

Collectively, these partnerships have allowed Upwards to leverage CDBG funding to assist family child care micro- enterprises, underscoring its dedication and effectiveness in utilizing these resources to foster economic development and community enhancement. Upwards' experience with CDBG projects across various municipalities showcases its strong track record of collaborative success with city and county leaders, aiming to uplift marginalized populations through entrepreneurial support and empowerment. The organization is committed to continuing these efforts, leveraging its established expertise to drive future initiatives that contribute to meaningful community development and improvement.
