Staff Report re CCGA Amended Agreement Page 1 of 2
STAFF REPORT
TO: M
ayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Dan Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 24, 2025
SUBJECT: CCGA Amended Agreement
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council make the following motion:
APPROVE AN AMENDED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CITIES GAMING AUTHORITY (CCGA) INCREASING THE ANNUAL MEMEBRSHIP FEE TO $40,000.
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The staff report is consistent with the Council value of responsibility .
BAC
KGROUND
The California Cities Gaming Authority ( CCGA) was formed in November 2019 by the City of Gardena and the City of Inglewood in an effort to give cities one collective voice when cardroom issues arise with the Attorney General or Bureau of Gambling Control. In January of 2020, the Town of Colma was invited to join the then- newly founded California Cities Gaming Authority (CCGA), a joint powers authority which was formed to protect the interests of cities state -wide with licensed card rooms. The CCGA is currently made up of three (3) California Cities : the City of Gardena, the City of Inglewood, and the Town of Colma (Town).
The purpose of the CCGA is to protect member cities interests and to monitor the activities of the California Gambling Control Commission, the California Bureau of Gambling Control, and the Department of Public Health Office of Problem Gambling. The CCGA advocates for policies that support and protect the cities interests, revenues, and right to govern and oppose policies that are contrary to those by educating lawmakers.
The CCGA advocates for the Town along with other cities on not only current issues facing cardrooms but also future challenges.
AGENDA ITEM #3
Staff Report re CCGA Amended Agreement Page 2 of 2
ANALYSIS
For over five years now, the Town of Colma has had a positive experience as member of the CCGA. Through collaboration with the CCGA and support of Colma’s local card room, Lucky Chances, the Town has prepared numerous letters in opposition of legislation that could have a negative impact on California Card Rooms.
Most recently, the Town has been working with the CCGA and its members on unified opposition of California Senate Bil (SB) 549, the Tribal Nations Access to Justice Act, which was signed into law in September 2024 . SB 549 grants federally recognized California Indian tribes a limited, one-time opportunity to file a lawsuit in state court against licensed card clubs and third- party proposition player services providers. The purpose of this act is to resolve a long-standing dispute over the legality of certain controlled games offered at these card rooms, which tribes argue are illegal banking card games that infringe on their exclusive gaming rights under the California Constitution. The lawsuit aims to seek a declaration from the court to determine the legality of these games.
To date, the Town’s efforts in collaboration with the CCGA and its members remain in constant opposition of SB 549 and any other legislation of this nature . The continued need to oppose legislation has forced the CCGA to increase its annual memb ership per city from $30,000 to $40,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost to continue membership in the CCGA will increase by $10,000 to $40,000 annually. The Town is currently budgeted to support this increase.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in approving the agreement is not a project under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378 as it is more akin to a financial action without any commitment to a specific project.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may elect to not approve the amended agreement. However, doing so will jeopardize the Town’s membership within the CCGA going forward.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the amended agreement with the CCGA increasing annual membership fees to $40,000.

Staff Report – 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Application El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project Page 1 of 4
STAFF REPORT
TO: M
ayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Brad Donohue, Director of Public Works and Planning Abdulkader Hashem, Principal Project Manager
VIA: Daniel Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 24, 2025
SUBJECT: 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Application
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING
ASSIGNED TO THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION ( MTC) AND
COMMITTING ANY NECESSARY MATCHING FUNDS AND STATING ASSURANCE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT FOR THE 2026 STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
PROGRAM (STIP) FOR THE EL CAMINO REAL BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15306
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The City Council approved a master plan that addresses bicycle and pedestrian safety and transportation deficiencies on El Camino Real (ECR) in Colma. The master plan created a vision of how the highway could be reconstructed to accommodate all modes of transportation, a plan that endorses safety and promotes healthy modes of travel along El Camino Real. The approval of the resolution is a continuation of the vision that ECR can be
viable for all modes of travel.
BACK
GROUND
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is the biennial five-year plan for future allocations of state transportation funds. It is a five-year document adopted every two years by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to program certain portions of the gas tax for transportation projects. The Program is developed in coordination with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
For San Mateo County, the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) is the designated agency responsible for developing the regional share of the STIP.
To be considered, candidate projects must align with the Regional Transportation Plan and AGENDA ITEM #4
Staff Report – 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Application El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project Page 2 of 4 the County's Congestion Management Plan, and also have an approved Project Study Report- Project Development Support (PSR-PDS).
C/CAG staff, in collaboration with CalTrans and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA), has identified top regional projects that supports the historical policy in the San Mateo Countywide Transportation Plan of directing STIP funds towards major highway improvement projects of regional significance. C/CAG staff has solicitated proposal projects from public agencies to consider in the 2026 STIP. The Town of Colma proposed the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project as its nominated regional project for the 2026 STIP, which C/CAG accepted and presented to Congestion Management and Environmental Quality (CMEQ) Committee on August 25, 2025. The MTC is scheduled to adopt the regional STIP policy and procedures at the September 21, 2025 Commission meeting.
Detailed Description of the Project
The El Camino Real (State Route 82, “ECR”) Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project (Project) spans between Albert M Teglia Boulevard and Arlington Drive in the Town of Colma (Town). The auto-orientated design of this corridor presents significant challenges for pedestrians and bicyclists including narrow and missing sidewalks, long and infrequent crossings, lack of bicycle facilities, first mile-last mile transit access, and high vehicle speeds.
In 2021, the City Council approved the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan, (Master Plan). This Master Plan identified existing deficiencies and proposed various improvements to create a complete street project. In February 2025, the Town completed PSR-PDS phase for the Project, which was approved by CalTrans. The Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED) is currently underway and is expected to be completed by December 2025.
The Project aims to enhance multi-modal infrastructure, traffic operations, accessibility, and safety for users of All Ages and Abilities while supporting future infill housing demands. To achieve these objectives, the Project will implement complete street improvements, including continuous sidewalks, protected bike lanes, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps, high-visibility crosswalks, improved street lighting, landscaping, stormwater treatment measures, bus stop improvements, reconfiguration of ECR/Mission Road intersection, and installation of traffic signals at ECR/Mission and ECR/Collins intersections.
The ECR corridor in the Town of Colma is divided into two segments: Segment A from Albert M. Teglia Boulevard to Mission Road, and Segment B from Mission Road to Arlington Drive.
The requested 2026 STIP funds will be allocated for the construction phase of Segment A. Construction funds for Segment B have been secured through the One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG3).
Staff Report – 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Application El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project Page 3 of 4
ANALYSIS
Since ECR is a state-owned roadway, all improvements must be approved by CalTrans. The proposed improvements will require various levels of documentation, studies, and reviews to receive CalTrans’s approval at each stage, from project initiation through construction. The PSR-PDS phase was completed and approved by CalTrans in February 2025. The current PA&ED phase is in development and is expected to be finished in December 2025. Following that, the project will move into the Design and Right of Way (ROW) certification.
On July 1, 2022, the Town applied to the MTC One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG 3) County & Local Program for a $4,640,000 grant to construct Segment B of the ECR. The application was approved by C/CAG in September 2022, and by January 14, 2023, MTC staff had recommended the project for funding.
A City Council resolution is required to apply for 2026 STIP funding. The resolution must show support for the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project and authorize the submission of the application for funding construction of the ECR Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The construction cost for the ECR improvements is estimated to be in the range of $48,800,000. To help supplement the overall construction costs for the ECR, the Town of Colma has applied for 2026 STIP and will submit a grant application by October 20, 2025. The Town has already secured $4,640,000 from OBAG 3 funds for the construction of Segment B for ECR.
If the 2026 STIP is accepted and funded, the Town’s estimated funding plan for the construction phase of the ECR will be as follows:
• 2026 STIP funds $10,000,000
• OBAG 3 Grant (already approved for Segment B) $ 4,640,000 • Proposed CIP Allocation for FY 23-24
(Local Match 20% for OBAG 3 Grant) $ 1,160,000
• Potential Future Funds
o One Bay Area Grant 4 (OBAG 4) $ 5,000,000
o SB1 Local Partnership Program (LPP) $ 8,000,000
o Potential Local/State/Federal Funds $27,800,000
Estimated Project Total $ 56,600,000
The 2026 STIP funds can only be programmed for those two FY 2029-30 and 2030-31, However, they can be recommended for FY 2028-29 if the Town is pursuing any coming SB1 funds in future cycles.
SUSTAINABLE IMPACT
This resolution in support of the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project is consistent with the Town’s sustainability goals and Complete Streets and Green Streets Program goals.

ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in adopting the resolution is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15306 consists of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded .
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose not to accept the 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) grant. Doing so is not recommended, however, because the Town would lose this funding opportunity to assist with the construction of the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution supporting an application for 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for the construction of El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project.

STAFF REPORT
TO: M
ayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Abigail Dometita, Deputy City Clerk/Administrative Technician III MEETING DATE: September 24, 2025
SUBJECT: FY 2025-26 Non-Profit Funding
RECO
MMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following resolution:
RESOLUTION DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR GRANT FUNDING, APPROVING GRANTS
TO ELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS, FINDING THAT EACH APPROVED GRANT SERVES A
PUBLIC PURPOSE, AND AUTHORIZING CONTRACTS WITH EACH ELIGIBLE
ORGANIZATION FOR THE USE OF TOWN FUNDS PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
This recommendation aligns with the City Council’s values of vision and responsibility by investing in programs that meet immediate community needs while thoughtfully planning for future challenges. It ensures sensible stewardship of public funds, supports innovative solutions, and promotes the long-term health and stability of the Town’s residents and businesses.
BACKGROUND
The Town’s process for non-profit funding requests, as outlined in subchapter 4.03 of the Colma Administrative Code, spells out several requirements for organizations to be funded by the Town.
Grants may be made to three (3) types of eligible organizations: (1) IRC section 501(c)(3) charities, (2) government entities, and (3) IRC section 501(c)(6) c hamber of commerce organizations. In addition, the amount of each grant must be roughly proportional to the benefit provided by the organization to the Town or its residents and businesses. Additionally, to be eligible to receive a grant, each organization must meet the following requirements: (1) the organization’s mission must include providing a benefit to the residents or businesses of a defined geographical area that encompasses the Town of Colma (for example, a food pantry that serves residents of San Mateo County); (2) the organization’s governing board must reflect the diverse interests of the community; (3) the organization must have policies and procedures to ensure that the grant’s terms and conditions are met; and (4) the organization must be in compliance with the required registration and reporting requirements set forth by the California Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts.
Grants cannot be given to fund existing obligations, debts or liabilities; grants cannot be given to a religious organization unless it is for a general need being met and the program or project does AGENDA ITEM #5
Staff Report: FY 2025-26 Non-Profit Funding Page 2 of 12 not promote the teachings of a particular church denomination; nor can grants be given to any political campaign or to support attempts to influence the legislature or any governmental body other than through making available the results of nonpartisan analysis, study and research .
Grants will be made with the understanding that the Town has no obligation or commitment to provide any additional support to the grantee.
To help guide the organizations in identifying a public purpose in their requested program and assist the City Council in making that determination, five (5) categories of qualifying programs or projects are established in the Colma Administrative Code. To qualify for a grant, the program or project to be funded must:
(1) Provide shelter, food, or clothing to persons in need of those programs (Necessities of Life);
(2) Provide physical or mental health services to persons with special needs (Integrated Care Services);
(3) Educate and engage residents (Education);
(4) Promote economic development or support businesses located or doing business in the Town of Colma (Economic Development); or
(5) Provide a service that the Town could provide to its residents or businesses or , support, complement or enhance a service or program that the Town provides to its residents or businesses (Complementary Service).
For all entities, staff’s proposed grant amounts are equivalent to the funding that was approved in Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-25. Of course, the City Council has ultimate discretion regarding the actual amount of funding granted; however, if City Council opts to increase the proposed funding beyond the available budget, a budget amendment may need to be processed at a future meeting.
ANALYSIS
The proposed resolution finds that each of the following organizations have met all the criteria and are therefore eligible for grant funding from the Town of Colma, that each approved grant serves a public purpose and is not a gift of public funds, and that grants should be approved and authorized as proposed by staff:

The Council must make two (2) determinations with respect to each grant funding application:
(1) that the applicant meets the criteria for an eligible organization set forth in section 4.03.030 of the Colma Administrative Code, and (2) that each proposed use of funds will serve a public purpose, as set forth in section 4.03.020 of the Colma Administrative Code. There is substantial evidence in each grant funding application to support findings for each of these determinations.
Findings of Organizational Eligibility & Public Purpose a.

Volunteers in Medicine – San Francisco (doing business as Clinic by the Bay ) is registered with the California Attorney General as a public benefit nonprofit corporation and has provided the Town with a letter from the IRS stating that it is exempt from tax under IRC section 501(c)(3).

The grant funds will be used to expand the Food as Medicine program.
The expenditure of public funds to support the healthy food program for low income, working and uninsured adults, as requested by Clinic by the Bay , will provide an identifiable benefit to the community at large.

d.

CORA serves all of San Mateo County and the Town of Colma is within its service area.
The expenditure of public funds to pay for programmatic support of the Safe House Program, as requested by CORA , will provide an identifiable benefit to the community at large. The funds will be used to house domestic violence victims and their families and provide plans for self-reliance.
e. Daly City Peninsula Partnership Collaborative (also known as Daly City Partnership ) is registered with the Attorney General as a public benefit nonprofit corporation and has provided the Town with a letter from the IRS stating that it is exempt from tax under IRC section 501(c)(3). Its mission is to guide collaborative efforts and connect the community to services that promote well -being. The Daly City Partnership serves all of the Daly City/Colma area and the Town of Colma residents have access to the services provided.
The expenditure of public funds to pay for materials , employee payroll and supplies, as requested by Daly City Peninsula Partnership Collaborative , will provide an identifiable benefit to the Colma community at large. The services offered by Daly City Partnership are readily accessible to individuals in Colma as the Town is located within the Partnership’s service area. Further, the public benefit is substantial as Partnership services ensure Colma residents have family support services that are not readily accessible elsewhere.
f. The Daly City Public Library Associates ( “DCPLA ”) is registered with the California Attorney General as a public benefit nonprofit corporation and has provided the Town with a letter from the IRS stating that it is exempt from tax under IRC section code 501(c)(3).

If the City Council approves funding,
the organization will have to update their status from “current – in process” to “current” with the California Attorney General as a condition for fund disbursement. Under section
4.03.060 of the Colma Administrative Code, this condition must be completed by November 23, 2025.
The expenditure of public funds to purchase 36 launchpads, as requested by the DCPLA , will provide children with engaging, screen- based educational experiences that build literacy, STEM skills, creativity, and problem-solving—all without requiring internet access.
These s ervices could be provided by the Town, but the Town has chosen otherwise.
Specifically, the Town could provide these same services through its Recreation Services program. In this case, the Town would likely expend the amount of the grant to provide these services.
g. Daly City Youth Health Center (“DCYHC ”), as part of the Jefferson Union High School District ( “JUHSD”), is a California governmental entity. The school- linked program’s mission statement is to ensure young people reach their full potential and thrive through optimal health, empowerment, and strong support networks.

These programs and activities improve the quality of services rendered to the public by the Chamber’s members and help increase its members’ sales. In turn, improved services and increased sales will promote the Town’s tax revenues, which ultimately inure to the benefit of all residents and businesses located in the Town.
The expenditure of public funds to pay for networking opportunities, office space, business promotions, facilitating workshops for businesses, and operational costs, as requested by the
Chamber, could be provided by the Town but the Town has chosen otherwise.

FISCAL IMPACT
At the June 25, 2025 City Council Meeting, Council approved an allocation of $143,222 to the Donations line-item. Staff recommends earmarking $142,000 of these funds for grant funding; and the remaining $1,222 to be held in reserve to allow flexibility for the Council to consider and approve donations to other causes or programs that may arise during the fiscal year. This approach ensures that funds are available to respond to unanticipated opportunities or community needs that align with Council priorities.
If Council agrees with Staff’s recommendation, the 2025-26 budget will total $152,000 for grant funding which is broken down into two discrete budget line items: $142,000 allocated to the City Council budget under the line-item
Donations; and $10,000 allocated to the Planning Department budget under the line-item Legal Mandates.
A total of $228,700 has been requested by the various entities. If the Council approves the funding levels as recommended by Staff totaling $149,700, the total amount funded will be $2,300 below the approved budget of $152,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in approving grant funding is more akin to an administrative or organizational activity of the Town that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378 (Section 15378 of Article 20 of Chapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations). It is also a government fiscal activity where no potentially significant impact on the environment will occur pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose to fund some entities at different levels than those proposed by Staff.
The Council may also choose to allocate the full $143,222 donation budget. Combined with the Planning Department’s $10,000 budget, the total available grant funding would be $153,222.
However, doing so would leave no remaining funds available for unanticipated donation requests or community programs that may arise later in the fiscal year. Additionally, any funding beyond the funds available in line-items
Donations and Legal Mandates of the Adopted 2025–26 Budget would require identifying additional funding sources.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the Council adopt the resolution which sets grant funding levels as proposed by staff.

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:
4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:
This request supports category B by providing health education, independent living support, and pre-vocational skill building for adults with developmental disabilities in a community-based setting at the Colma Community Center. Our project focuses on nutrition, healthy eating, cooking skills, physical health, and community inclusion. Individuals with disabilities are almost twice as likely to have diabetes and obesity rates for individuals with disabilities are approximately 58% higher than for adults without disabilities, making these skills critical to the health and well-being of those we serve. An ongoing emphasis has been placed on regaining healthy living routines to combat declines in physical and emotional health during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to promote healthy aging for all. Physical activities have helped improve stamina through fitness classes, community hikes, and neighborhood walks. To encourage healthy eating habits, participants will learn about nutrition, portion sizes, and preparation of healthy snacks & meals on a budget. Participants will engage in activities and challenges to enhance their knowledge and enthusiasm for healthy eating habits. We will rent the kitchen at the Colma Community Center and purchase groceries, which will also support businesses in the Town (category D).
We will rent the Colma kitchen twice per week, permitting the kitchen's availability, for educational and instructional classes including basic nutrition education, meal planning, food selection, following a recipe, food preparation, food storage methods. Participants will purchase ingredients for recipes by following a budget, reading food labels, purchasing the items - all of which include social and financial skill practice. Traveling to the community center also addresses learning and practicing how to use public transportation. Other areas of instruction incorporated into these sessions include following direction, safety awareness, and working together. AbilityPath participants run a weekly coffee cart at the Burlingame day program site (and for paid events), and they often utilize the Colma community kitchen to prepare the food items for their cart. Funding will support weekly rental of the kitchen at the Colma Community Center, as well as food costs.
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
We are requesting a higher amount than we received last year due to increased food costs.
The amount spent for cooking classes per week has tripled in the last year.
AbilityPath participants will support local Colma businesses and organizations when they learn about activities in the town as well as how to access and enjoy them using public transportation. They are more likely to utilize these resources and contribute to the local economy on an on-going basis once they are more familiar with the town. Additionally, Colma residents and businesses will have opportunities to interact with people who have developmental disabilities, increasing understanding, respect, acceptance, and inclusion.
Finally, Colma's residents who have family members with disabilities will see a future of inclusion in their local community for their family members.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization's A: Throughout our programs, we've served at least 7 businesses and 30 residents.
B: The program will visit and utilize the Colma Community Center, Target, Starbucks and BART. During other outings not related to this grant request, participants will also visit the following: Metro Center Complex, Colma Historical Museum, Cypress Golf Course, Starbucks, and Kohl's.
C: AbilityPath staff have a positive relationship with Colma Community Center based on past/current history of renting the kitchen. Staff also explore the area in person and online to identify new locations for activities and volunteer opportunities. Additionally, we reach Colma residents and businesses through marketing.
The 2024-25 grant provided by Town of Colma enabled AbilityPath to offer valuable life skills and pre-vocational training to adults with developmental disabilities . FY2024-2025 funds supported food and program supplies for participants and rental fees for the Colma kitchen. We look forward to continuing to rent the Colma kitchen for classes throughout FY26.
Our Adult Day Program served 258 participants , 212 of whom are San Mateo County residents . In FY25, our hybrid scheduling continued to be successful and desirable for participants . As of June 2025, just over 50% of the Day Program is attending in-person program 5 days per week; the other <50% have chosen a hybrid schedule of 2-3 days of in-person and the remaining days are virtual programming . Over the last year, the program continued to emphasize healthy living routines to combat a decline in physical health from the pandemic. Physical activities such as fitness classes , community hikes, and neighborhood walks have led to improved stamina and physical health. To continue healthy eating habits, participants learned about nutrition, portion sizes, and preparation of healthy meals on a budget. We offered 37 fitness classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one fitness/exercise activity each day (including 2 daily virtual class options). Classes/activities included yoga, drumming for fitness , seated chair exercise, dancing, walking , tai chi, senior-focused fitness , Zumba , hiking, basketball , soccer, and going to the gym. Staff reported a continued enthusiasm for fitness and exercise activities. This year's most popular activities included walking therapy dogs and going to the gym - over 50 participants attend regularly. We offered 26 nutrition and health/wellness classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one nutrition/health-related class each day. Classes included cooking, healthy snacks, general nutrition education, self-care, art therapy, mindfulness, & meditation .

AbilityPath grant report to Town of Colma June 27, 2025 Results of the Program
The 2024-25 grant provided by Town of Colma enabled AbilityPath to offer valuable life skills and pre-vocational training to adults with developmental disabilities. Our Adult Day Program serves individuals from San Jose to South San Francisco with a total of 258 participants. We serve 212 individuals in our Day Program-North, which consists of San Mateo County residents.
In FY25, our hybrid scheduling continued to be successful and desirable for participants. As of June 2025, just over 50% of the Day Program
attending in-person program 5 days per
week; the other 50% have chosen a hybrid schedule of 2-3 days of in-person and the remaining days are virtual programming. This allows to attend to individual needs, go to work, or access other programs. It has been a positive option for participants.
We have also had success in boosting our staff roster in FY25. AbilityPath made concerted investments in recruitment strategies that have yielded positive results; as of June 2025, the Day Program is fully staffed and has been able to steadily accept new participant referrals from the regional center.
Over the last year, the program continued to emphasize healthy living routines to combat a decline in physical health from the pandemic. Physical activities such as fitness classes, community hikes, and neighborhood walks have led to improved stamina and physical health. To continue healthy eating habits, participants learned about nutrition, portion sizes, and preparation of healthy meals on a budget.
We offered 37 fitness classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one fitness/exercise activity each day (including 2 daily virtual class options).
Classes/activities included yoga, drumming for fitness, seated chair exercise, dancing, walking, tai chi, senior-focused fitness, Zumba, hiking, basketball, soccer, and going to the gym. Staff reported
most popular activities included walking therapy dogs and going to the gym over 50 participants attend regularly.
We offered 26 nutrition and health/wellness classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one nutrition/health-related class each day. Classes included cooking, healthy snacks, general nutrition education, self-care, art therapy, mindfulness, & meditation. Cooking and healthy snacks classes are incredibly popular, especially healthy snacks it often features simple, no-bake recipes that participants feel inclined to pursue independently when they are at home. Participating in these classes has influenced ongoing positive and healthy habits for the program several individuals have lost weight, many are noticeably making healthier choices when buying food in the community, others are choosing not to eat everything offered during program/class, and some are making the choice to avoid sugary foods.
We have consistently utilized the Colma community kitchen throughout the year. We used the kitchen two times per week for educational and instructional classes including basic nutrition education, meal planning, food selection, following a recipe, food preparation, food storage methods. Participants purchased ingredients for recipes by following a budget, reading food labels, purchasing the items - all of which include social and financial skill practice. Other areas of instruction incorporated into these sessions included following directions, safety awareness, hygiene, and working together. Staff reported that most participants were motivated to experiment with new & more creative recipes. We also held cooking classes at our Burlingame site each week. is
<
participants
a continued enthusiasm for fitness and exercise activities. This year's approximately
and
A few highlights from the year overall included: introducing sugar substitutes to participants with diabetes (which led one person in particular to be more motivated to bring healthier snacks to program each day), learning & preparing recipes from around the world for our annual multi-cultural festival (for 100+ guests), and a senior-focused fitness class.
The Day Program continued its Vending Machine Project for a second year (up until the vending machine broke down a few months ago). Two years ago, a group identified that the on-site vending machine did not provide healthy enough snack options, so they began to identify what types of snacks and drinks should be offered instead. It was a practice in reading labels, being mindful of what types of ingredients, foods, and drinks they consume, and they immediately ruled out candy, soda, and instant soups. It was also a practice in adhering to a budget and learning the financial repercussions of choosing healthier options.
The Day Program has applied for a grant to purchase a new vending machine to continue this project.
Throughout the year, we've served at least 7 businesses and 30 residents. The program visits and utilizes the Colma Community Center, Target, Starbucks, and BART. During other outings not related to this grant request, participants also frequent the following: Metro Center Complex, Colma Historical Museum, Cypress Golf Course, and Kohl's. Our Burlingame program site developed a coffee club which visits the Colma Starbucks every week.
Among all the participants in our day program, 29% required little to no support to learn health and physical education skills to help maintain or achieve a healthy weight. Another 56% sometimes required this assistance.
We look forward to continuing to rent the Colma kitchen for classes throughout FY26.
Use of Grant Funds
$ 5,000 Colma Kitchen Rental (50 days x $100/day)
$ 1,500 Food and Program Supplies
Supplies for cooking and nutrition classes were provided to staff teaching in-person classes at the Colma kitchen and our Burlingame site. Inflation has greatly impacted these expenses; as grocery prices have steadily risen, we are spending at least twice as much per class as we were this time last year. We were grateful to have access to the Colma Community Kitchen and were able to leverage other funding to help offset the rental costs of the Colma kitchen throughout the year. Therefore, the kitchen rental costs reflected here are 83% of our total usage.

1. Mission Statement:
AgeUp's mission is to advocate for the dignity, rights, and well-being of older adults and people with disabilities through ombudsman services, community education, volunteer engagement, and systems change. We empower residents in long-term care, prevent elder abuse and neglect, and combat social isolation by mobilizing compassionate volunteers and offering inclusive, culturally responsive programs . Rooted in equity and driven by innovation, AgeUp works to ensure that every person can age with respect, purpose, and connection.
2. Amount of Request: _$ _5.;_, 0_0_0 ___ _
a. Total Agency Annual Budget: $_1 _____ _
b. Number of Agency Employees: _1_2 ____ _
C. Payroll is 82 % of the Agency's total Annual Budget.
3. Please identify a public purpose for the requested funding by identifying one of the following categories:
Ill A. Provide shelter, food, or clothing to persons in need of the Necessities of Life; Ill B. Provide physical or mental health services to persons with special needs, or Integrated Care Services;
Ill C. Educate and engage residents;
DD. Promote Economic Development or support businesses located or doing business in the Town; or Provide, support, or enhance a Complementary Service, e.g., a service that the Town could provide to its residents or businesses.
3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:
The $5,000 in general operating support will help sustain and strengthen AgeUp's core programs that serve older adults and individuals with disabilities across San Mateo County. These unrestricted funds provide essential flexibility, allowing us to respond to community needs efficiently and invest in critical infrastructure that supports our long-term impact.
Specifically, the funding will be allocated across the following priority areas:
Volunteer Program Coordination
A portion of the funds will support staffing costs related to volunteer engagement, including scheduling, training, and supporting our Friendly Visitors and Phone Buddies programs. These efforts combat social isolation by connecting residents in long-term care with compassionate community members.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Services
Funds will help cover transportation, outreach materials, and case documentation tools for our Ombudsman team, who investigate complaints and advocate for the rights of over 9,000 residents in skilled nursing, assisted living, and board-and-care homes.
Community Education and Elder Justice Workshops
General operating support allows us to offer free public education sessions focused on elder abuse prevention, residents' rights, dementia awareness, and caregiver support. These trainings build community capacity and raise awareness among families, professionals, and the broader public.
Equity and Language Access
The grant will help us maintain culturally responsive materials and interpretation services to ensure our programs reach diverse populations, including monolingual seniors and caregivers.
Technology and Infrastructure
A portion of the funds will be used to maintain secure databases, update communications tools, and support virtual outreach and education, particularly important for serving isolated or homebound individuals.
This $5,000 investment in general operating support will help AgeUp remain responsive, effective, and accessible as we continue to serve the growing population of older adults in our community. We are deeply grateful for this support and the flexibility it provides to advance our mission .
4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:
The Town of Colma has been a longtime and valued supporter of Ombudsman Services of San Mateo County (OSSMC), helping protect the rights and dignity of long-term care residents in the community. With our expanded mission under AgeUp, we continue to serve older adults and people with disabilities through a broader range of programs that address social isolation, neglect prevention, and community education. This request for continued support reflects both our deep appreciation for Colma's past partnership and our shared commitment to ensuring that all residents-regardless of age or ability-can live with dignity, safety, and connection. General operating support will help us respond to urgent needs, maintain volunteer outreach, and expand access to culturally responsive services throughout northern San Mateo County, including Colma.
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
The increased request reflects both the rising cost of service delivery and the expanded scope of our programs under AgeUp. In addition to continuing our core Ombudsman work, which remains critical in protecting the rights of long-term care residents, we now offer a broader range of services-including volunteer engagement programs, elder justice workshops, and culturally responsive outreach for underserved communities . Inflation, higher transportation costs, and growing demand for our services across northern San Mateo County, including Colma, have also contributed to the need for additional support . The increased funding will help ensure we can meet these needs effectively, without compromising the quality or reach of our work.
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
Supporting AgeUp directly benefits the residents of Colma, both now and in the future. National data shows that approximately 70% of all older adults will require care in a long-term care facility at some point in their lives. This includes Colma's aging residents, whether they are placed in facilities within town limits or in neighboring communities. AgeUp ensures these individuals are not left vulnerable-we provide ombudsman advocacy, neglect prevention, and volunteer support that safeguard their rights, dignity, and quality of life. Our services offer peace of mind to families and contribute to a more compassionate, responsive care system for all Colma residents as they age.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization's services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
In Fiscal Year 2024-25, AgeUp conducted 35 facility visits and served 63 Colma residents through our Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. However, these numbers reflect only a portion of our total impact. With the launch of new initiatives-including Advance Health Care Planning workshops, community education sessions, and our Dementia-Friendly Movie Program-we likely reached even more older adults, caregivers, and family members in Colma and surrounding areas. These programs extend beyond traditional ombudsman services to support aging in place, improve health literacy, and reduce social isolation, further strengthening the network of care for Colma's older adult population.
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
General operating support to serve residents in Colma.
9. List contributions requested and received from other cities in FY 2024-25 and requested or expected in FY 2025-26:
AgeUp is currently in the early stages of requesting support from other cities across San Mateo County, including Foster City, San Mateo, Redwood City, Menlo Park, San Carlos, and South San Francisco. As our programs expand to meet growing community needs, we are working to build a regional funding base that reflects the geographic reach and shared responsibility of serving older adults and people with disabilities. Continued support from the Town of Colma demonstrates strong local leadership and helps set the tone for broader municipal engagement .

The Town of Colma's funding supports Clinic by the Bay's Food as Medicine program, which provides uninsured, low-income adults with consistent access to healthy, culturally appropriate food, one of life's most basic necessities. By addressing food insecurity, we are helping patients stabilize their health, manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, and reduce the stress and anxiety caused by not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Providing fresh, nutritious food through vouchers and medically tailored grocery kits allows patients to prioritize their health without sacrificing other essentials like rent or medication.
For many patients, this access to healthy food is life-changing, reducing preventable ER visits and improving both physical and mental well-being.
Your investment directly supports Colma residents, giving them not only the nourishment they need to survive, but also the tools, education, and confidence to build healthier, more resilient lives.
We respectfully request $10,500 to sustain and strengthen our Food as Medicine program, which has become a cornerstone of our holistic approach to health. Your support will ensure that Colma residents continue to receive consistent nutritional support as part of their overall care. Food insecurity remains a significant barrier to health for more than half of our patients, many of whom are essential workers, caregivers, and immigrants who fall through the cracks of the healthcare system.
Funds will be used to:
- Provide Food Vouchers - enabling patients to purchase fresh, healthy groceries that meet their medical and cultural dietary needs.
- Support our Food Pharmacy - providing medically tailored grocery boxes with culturally sensitive recipes and health education materials emphasizing the connection between nutrition and mental health to help patients not only manage chronic conditions but also anxiety and depression through better self-care.
- Maintain Staff Support - sustaining the role of our Food Pharmacy Coordinator, who ensures smooth program operations and connects patients to behavioral health services when needed.
This program is more than food distribution, it is a critical component of our holistic, integrated care model, which recognizes that reducing food insecurity also reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. By stabilizing patients' access to healthy food, we are improving both physical and mental health outcomes, allowing Colma residents to focus on their families, work, and well-being.
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
Clinic by the Bay is requesting $10,500 to sustain and strengthen our Food as Medicine program, which has become an essential part of our holistic approach to health care. This program directly addresses food insecurity, a critical social determinant of health that disproportionately affects uninsured, working adults.
Beyond meeting immediate nutritional needs, the program plays a vital role in supporting mental and emotional well-being. Chronic food insecurity is closely linked to stress, anxiety, and depression; many of our patients describe the overwhelming mental burden of having to choose between buying groceries or paying for medication. By providing food vouchers and medically tailored grocery kits, we are helping reduce this psychological stress, giving patients a sense of stability and control over their health.
Sustaining this level of funding ensures we can:
- Maintain Core Services - keeping food vouchers and Food Pharmacy deliveries consistent for patients who rely on them to manage chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. - Integrate Mental Health Support - continuing to expand the behavioral health component of our Food as Medicine program through education, counseling referrals, and culturally sensitive health coaching that acknowledges the emotional toll of food insecurity. - Protect Program Quality - stable funding allows us to retain trained staff, such as our Food Pharmacy Coordinator, who plays a critical role in both nutritional support and connecting patients to mental health resources when needed.
Your continued investment ensures this program remains a reliable source of nutrition, education, and emotional support for Colma residents, helping them build healthier, more resilient lives.
The Town of Colma's investment in Clinic by the Bay directly improves the health and well-being of its residents by addressing one of the most basic human needs, access to nutritious food. Through the Food as Medicine program, Colma residents receive the nourishment they need to manage chronic conditions, prevent avoidable medical crises, and reduce the stress and anxiety caused by food insecurity.
This support strengthens Colma in several ways:
- Improved Health Outcomes: Better nutrition leads to better control of conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, while also improving mental health and overall quality of life. - Reduced Strain on Local Resources: By helping patients stay healthier, we decrease preventable ER visits and hospitalizations, easing pressure on local healthcare systems. - Economic Stability for Working Families: Access to food assistance allows patients to focus their limited income on other essentials like rent and medication, keeping them stable and employed.
A Healthier, More Resilient Community: When residents have reliable access to healthy food and integrated care, they are more productive, engaged, and able to contribute to the vitality of the Colma community.
Your continued partnership ensures that Colma residents, many of whom are essential workers, caregivers, and immigrants, receive not only medical care but also the basic nutrition and mental health support they need to thrive.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization's A. Clinic by the Bay remains steadfast in our commitment to improving the health and well-being of Colma residents. To that end we are proud to share that 25% of our 800 patients served are from the Town of Colma .
Understanding the Numbers :Our data shows 25% patients identify as Colma residents , with additional Colma residents likely included among our San Mateo County patients who use Daly City as their listed address .
B. All services are provided at Clinic by the Bay, 35 Onondaga Avenue , San Francisco , CA 94112. While our clinic is located just outside San Mateo County, we serve as an essential healthcare resource for Colma residents who otherwise have limited access to affordable, high-quality care.
C. Clinic by the Bay actively works to ensure Colma residents are aware of and can easily access our services :
- Data-Driven Outreach: We track San Mateo County patient data and estimate that additional Colma residents may be included among patients who list Daly City as their mailing address , helping us refine outreach strategies.
- Community Partnerships : We collaborate with local organizations and community partners in San Mateo County to share resources and make direct referrals.
- Targeted Outreach Activities : We distribute multilingual informational flyers in Colma, participate in regional health and resource fairs , and maintain relationships with local service providers to connect residents to care.
Through these efforts, we continue to expand awareness and reduce barriers, ensuring Colma residents know they can rely on Clinic by the Bay for free, culturally competent care and food security services .
Clinic by the Bay is deeply grateful for the Town of Colma's $5,000 grant, which directly advanced our mission to provide compassionate , high-quality care to uninsured working adults-25% of whom live in Colma. Your support strengthened our Food as Medicine program, a cornerstone of our holistic approach to health, addressing food insecurity as a critical social determinant of health while promoting both physical and mental well-being .
Food Voucher Program:
During this grant period, $5,100 in food vouchers was distributed to patients who screened positive for food insecurity.
Valued at $147 per patient, vouchers empower patients to purchase fresh, healthy foods - fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins - at trusted local grocery stores. Beyond improving nutrition, this autonomy reduces the stress and anxiety associated with chronic food insecurity, positively impacting patients' mental health and resilience.
Food Pharmacy Program:For patients managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension , we provided bi-weekly, medically tailored food boxes to 34 enrolled patients. Each box included culturally appropriate recipes and health education materials in the patient's preferred language, reinforcing disease management and healthy eating habits. Patients frequently report feeling less overwhelmed and more confident in managing their health when supported with this structured, consistent access to nutritious food.
Integrated Impact:
The Town of Colma's investment not only improved access to nutritious food but also enhanced our ability to address the emotional toll of food insecurity, which is closely tied to depression and anxiety. Our Food Pharmacy Coordinator, partially supported by this grant, plays a critical role in connecting patients to ongoing nutritional and mental health support, integrating behavioral health resources when needed.
Together, these services are reducing food insecurity, improving chronic disease management, and helping patients build healthier, more stable lives. Thanks to your partnership, we are creating lasting change-improving health outcomes, supporting working families, and building a stronger, more resilient Colma.

Clinic by the Bay
Town of Colma Non-Profit Funding Report FY 2024-2025
Introduction
Clinic by the Bay is proud to continue our meaningful partnership with the Town of Colma. Your continued support empowers us to provide compassionate, high-quality healthcare to uninsured working adults in your community - a mission that grows more critical each year. This report reflects key program activities and accomplishments from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, underscoring the positive impact we've made together. With sincere appreciation, we thank you for helping us build a healthier, more equitable future for Colma's residents.
Program Description I Food as Medicine: Strengthening Lives Through Nutrition
Clinic by the Bay remains deeply committed to delivering exceptional, compassionate care to uninsured working adults in our community . Today, nearly two hundred of our patients live in the Town of Colma, - a testament to the vital role our services play in the region.
Thanks to the Town of Colma's generous $5,000 grant, we've been able to strengthen our Food as Medicine Program, focusing support on three key components: our Food Vouchers, Food Pharmacy, and Food as Medicine Recipe Services. These resources were designed to meet the immediate needs of patients facing food insecurity, while also promoting long-term health by improving access to nutritious, medical condition-appropriate foods.
Our Food Security Program has grown significantly since its launch 5 years ago in 2020 both its scope and impact. This year, your support has helped us expand our reach and deepen our ability to respond to the social drivers of health. Together, we are making a measurable difference - ensuring patients not only receive care, but also the education and nourishment they need to thrive .
We are grateful for your continued partnership in this important work.
Program Evaluation I Food as Medicine: Delivering Nutrition with Purpose Food Voucher Program:
Clinic by the Bay's Food Voucher Program continues to serve as a powerful tool for health equity, offering patients not just assistance, but autonomy. By providing flexible vouchers valued at $147 per patient, we empower individuals to purchase the foods that best align with their medical and cultural dietary needs - from fresh fruits and vegetables to grains, dairy, and proteins - at trusted local grocery stores.
35 Onondaga Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112 I 415.405.0207 I www .clinicbythebay .org I Tax ID: 26-2593712 During this grant period, a total of $5,100 in food vouchers was distributed to patients enrolled in the program. These vouchers are more than just financial support; they're a lifeline for patients managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, helping them make healthier choices and sustain meaningful changes in their lives.
With each voucher redeemed, we move one step closer to reducing food insecurity and improving long-term health outcomes for the working uninsured in Colma.
Food Pharmacy:
While our Food Voucher Program provides patients with the freedom to select the foods that best suit their needs, our Food Pharmacy Program takes a more structured, clinical approach - delivering targeted nutritional support directly to those managing chronic health conditions.
This program reflects our "food as medicine" philosophy in action. During this grant period, thirty four enrolled patients received bi-weekly boxes of healthy, medically appropriate groceries, available for pickup at the Clinic. Each box is accompanied by culturally tailored recipes and health education materials, thoughtfully provided in the patient's native language to ensure clarity, comfort, and usability.
Our Food as Medicine Program not only demonstrates our commitment to addressing food insecurity in our community but also our strong belief in a holistic approach to our patients health and well-being. Where food vouchers offer flexibility and access, the Food Pharmacy program offers guided, medical condition-specific support - reinforcing dietary education and providing consistent, health-focused ingredients that patients might otherwise struggle to obtain. Together, these two programs work in harmony: one empowering choice, the other reinforcing structure and knowledge - both essential for lasting health improvements.
Program Accounting I Food as Medicine: Local Impact - Lasting Change Please find below the Clinic by the Bay accounting for the use of The Town of Colma grant award of $5,000 for the 2024-2025 fiscal year:
Clinic by the Bay is deeply grateful to the Town of Colma for its generous $5,000 donation.
This vital support has been allocated to purchase food vouchers for our patients who screen as food insecure, helping to address a critical social determinant of health. In addition, a portion of the gift supports the yearly stipend for our Food Pharmacy Coordinator, who plays an essential role in overseeing the distribution of these resources and connecting patients to ongoing nutritional support.

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:
4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:
This funding request is for the purpose of providing safe, emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence who are fleeing abuse. For 48 years, CORA - Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse - has been the only organization in San Mateo County solely focused on survivors of domestic violence and their children. CORA's free, trauma informed, culturally appropriate, client-centered services include emergency shelter, supportive housing, crisis intervention, legal assistance, mental health services, community education, and community advocacy. While also providing shelter, food, and clothing, CORA's Safe House Program empowers victims of domestic violence to escape abusive relationships, avoid homelessness, secure safety, and begin a new life free from the threat of violence, and for their children to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse.
CORA is requesting funds in support of our Safe House program, which provides emergency shelter for domestic violence victims. Safe House services support clients' individual plans for self-reliance and empowerment and include crisis intervention; safety planning; advocacy with housing, employment, and education; referrals to CORA services, public benefits, and other external resources.
Polly* came to CORA with her 2 children after fleeing from her abusive partner, where she experienced extreme physical, mental, and financial abuse. Her two young children were also affected by the domestic violence that they witnessed. After coming into CORA's Safe House, Polly and her children were able to finally feel safe and not have to worry about their safety. They began receiving services through CORA, such as legal advice and assistance, and mental health services, individual and group counseling, and were connected to Samaritan House for a housing referral to Abode. Polly was determined to get her own apartment for herself and her children to be able to continue providing a safe home for them. After just six weeks of being in CORA's Safe House program, Polly was able to obtain a housing voucher through Abode and safely relocate. Polly expressed her deep gratitude for CORA's help. She said she would not be where she is now, safe and on a path to self-sufficiency, without CORA's support. *Name changed to protect client confidentiality.
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
CORA's request for support remains the same as last year.
Support from the Town of Colma leverages funds from other cities in San Mateo County including Burlingame, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Mateo, and South San Francisco - to help domestic violence survivors and their families. CORA's well-established Safe House Program provides a direct gateway away from life-threatening domestic violence situations to safe and stable interim housing, and on a path to permanent housing. As CORA is San Mateo County's only agency specializing in serving DV survivors, our Safe House program plays a critical role in addressing local homelessness.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization's To protect the safety and confidentiality of our clients, CORA cannot disclose locations for our shelters, motel sites, businesses utilized, etc. However, in FY 24-25, 22 clients identified as Colma residents. CORA is the only agency in San Mateo County providing comprehensive services specifically for survivors of domestic violence.
During fiscal year 2024-25, the Town of Colma's $9,000 contribution helped unlock more than $28,000 in direct services for residents, providing a 3.16: 1 return on investment. This funding provided crucial support for several households, including:
Full Legal Representation: One resident received full legal representation, valued at an estimated $25,000. This included preparing legal documents, filing petitions, and representing the client in court to secure protective orders. This service ensured the survivor could assert their legal rights to stay safe without the prohibitive costs that often prevent people from seeking justice .
Mental Health Counseling: A second household received 26 mental health counseling sessions, including a tailored therapeutic program for a child. This consistent, trauma-informed care helped the family stabilize and recover. Comparable therapy would have cost approximately $2,600 on the open market.
24-Hour Hotline Services: At least 20 additional residents, who chose to remain anonymous, were supported through CORA's 24-hour hotline. These residents received immediate support, including safety planning and referrals. This critical resource helps reduce costly downstream impacts for the community, such as expenses for healthcare, emergency housing, and criminal justice intervention, which can reach tens of thousands of dollars per incident.
9. List contributions requested and received from other cities in FY 2024-25 and requested or expected in FY 2025-26:

Town of Colma - Final Report
Reporting Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025
Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA) is grateful to the Town of Colma for continued support during FY24-25 (July 1, 2024– June 30, 2025). The entirety of the $9,000 grant award was expended on CORA’s Safe House Program.
PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
During FY24-25, CORA’s Crisis Support Services (CSS) department, across San Mateo County, responded to 2,848 calls to our 24-hour Crisis Hotline. When DV victims/survivors use this important service, they are referred provided with referrals to supportive services and assisted with safety plans as needed. Additionally, 97 individuals (67 adults and 30 children) were provided shelter through hotel stays. Some hotel clients also went on to stay in a CORA Safe House. In total, CORA’s emergency shelter options housed 42 adults and 39 children last fiscal year. When CORA’s shelter occupancy is at capacity, clients are provided with hotel stays, San Mateo County Coordinated Entry System (CES) referrals, and emergency housing vouchers (EHV vouchers) from Housing Authority of San Mateo County. CORA shelter staff have been able to provide various services to shelter and motel clients such as increased emotional support and increased food support for clients due to generous donations from CORA’s community partners.
Approximately 8 adults and 5 children from Colma received services from CORA during this fiscal year (July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025). In addition to emergency housing and crisis counseling most of them received multiple free services from CORA. The value of rental assistance provided by CORA is $1,500 per month. If a domestic violence survivor and child(ren) receive 6 months of rental assistance that is equivalent to $18,000 to help them achieve safe housing.
When a client receives 6 -10 hours of free Mental Health services from CORA, they have access to help (equivalent to $1200 to $2000 provided at no cost to clients) to help heal the mental and emotional scars of abuse. A DV survivor often cannot afford to pay for legal services such as court representation and legal fees (2 - 3 hours of legal assistance costs $600 - $1000).
Without CORA’s free legal services they would have no recourse to justice in the court system.
PROGRAM CHALLENGES
CORA’s emergency shelter experience a large number of referrals for clients needing a safe, confidential living space. Some clients were placed in confidential hotel locations to help accommodate their safety needs due to the emergency shelter being at maximum capacity. All the clients served (at the Safe House or in hotels) received access to case management, emotional support and peer counseling, emergency food and transportation, and other supportive services.
CLIENT STORY
Amy* called CORA’s 24-Hour Hotline for help after her husband had filed a police report with false accusations against her. She began to cry talking about the 20 years of abuse she had endured. Over the years, he had strangled her multiple times, threatened to kill her, and squeezed her head. Calling CORA’s Hotline was her first step to freedom from abuse. Amy told the Crisis Counselor that she was unhoused, sometimes couch surfing, but afraid to stay with C RA
COMMUNITY OVERCOMING
RELATIONSHIP ABUSE
family or friends due to her husband’s threats to harm anyone that would help her. She needed a safe place to stay and asked if CORA could provide shelter for her and her autistic eight-year- old child. CORA’s Crisis Counselor placed Amy into a confidential shelter for the night and made a referral to CORA’s Emergency Safe House for longer-term shelter. Amy was very grateful for the emergency shelter CORA’s provided and also the emotional support from CORA’s caring Counselors. Finally, she has hope for a better life, free from abuse.
The continued support Colma has provided to victims of domestic and their children over the years makes a huge difference in the lives of Colma survivors and leverages other funding to help support victims countywide. Thank you!

Promote Economic Development or support businesses located or doing business in the Town; or Provide, support, or enhance a Complementary Service, e.g., a service that the Town could provide to its residents or businesses.
3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:
Since 1995, Daly City Partnership has been a trusted cornerstone of support for Northern San Mateo County . We create transformative change through comprehensive, multi-generational services that empower children, families, and older adults to overcome challenges and thrive. Guided by our core values , we address the social determinants of health through programs in youth development, family resource services, mental health support, housing and basic needs assistance , and healthy aging. Serving more than 16,000 individuals each year, the majority from low-income communities with partners across sectors to build a stronger, more connected community .
This funding will sustain and expand three critical service areas for Colma residents-reaching nearly 10% of the Town's total population each year, including residents of Colma Veterans Village, San Pedro Commons, La Terraza, Trestle Glen:
After School Academic Program (ASAP) - Delivers high-quality academic enrichment , homework assistance , and STEAM-based activities at community and school sites, ensuring that working families have safe, supportive , and affordable after-school, summer camp and school break (Spring Break, President's Week, etc.) programs .
Healthy Aging Response Team (HART)- Provides seniors (55+) and disabled adults (18+) social connection, wellness checks and coaching to reduce loneliness , digital literacy training , home visits, Information, referrals, and resource navigation for isolated older adults, including health and supportive services . Many seniors we serve live on fixed incomes that have not kept pace with the county's rising costs.
Food & Basic Support Services - Through our Daly City Community Service Center, we provide weekly fresh food distributions , emergency pantry food, rent and utility assistance, shelter coordinated entry and navigation, transportation assistance, free clothing and household items, diapers and toiletries, information, referrals, resource navigation, case management and seasonal programs (back to school, holiday toys/food) for residents in crisis. These services are essential for service/retail workers, people on fixed incomes, and low-wage workers struggling to meet basic needs in one of the
By addressing both urgent needs and long-term stability, these programs complement the Town of Colma's efforts to ensure community health, safety, and engagement, while providing measurable outcomes for a significant proportion of residents
4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:
DCP is requesting $20,000 to directly support service delivery for Colma residents, including those at Colma Veterans Village, San Pedro Commons, La Terraza, Trestle Glen, other senior housing sites and throughout the community. Funds will be allocated to direct program delivery as follows:
$7,000 for After School Academic Program: staff salaries, curriculum materials, and student enrichment supplies.
$6,500 for Healthy Aging Response Team program: staff salaries, participant enrichment supplies and materials .
$6,500 for Food Distribution and Basic Needs Program: staff salaries, grocery delivery fees and costs for seniors.
This investment is critical as housing and basic living costs in San Mateo County have risen dramatically, far outpacing increases in social security, pensions, and wages . The combination of post-pandemic inflation, a competitive housing market driven by high-income earners, and limited local relief funding means that without additional support, many Colma households risk food insecurity, housing instability, and isolation.
In FY 2024-25, DCP served around 170 individuals in over 110 households in Colma-nearly 10% of the Town's total population of 1,729-through food distribution, rent and utility assistance, after-school programs, mental health, and senior wellness programs. Across Northern San Mateo County, we served over 16,000 individuals. The $20,000 request represents less than 0.7% of our total agency budget of $2,879,940, yet gives directly proportional to the volume and intensity of services provided to Colma residents. This ensures that Town funds are invested in measurable, locally focused outcomes.
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
The amount of the request is not higher than the previous year because we did not apply for or receive funding for the prior year.
However, we would like to take this opportunity to describe our reason for application this year and the need for funds .
Our need for increased funds is due to both a measurable rise in demand and systemic challenges that have intensified over the past year. DCP continues to serve residents of Colma Veterans Village, San Pedro Commons, La Terraza and other sites where many live on fixed incomes and require ongoing food, wellness, and support services . Across our service areas, we are seeing sustained increases in community need post-pandemic, driven by cost of living and housing expenses that have far outpaced retirement benefits, social security, and wage growth.
The funding landscape has also shifted due to socio-political factors-local government budgets are strained, pandemic-era relief programs have ended, and philanthropic priorities are shifting . In response, DCP has aggressively sought funding through all previously unexplored avenues, including expanding outreach to new foundations, cultivating corporate partners , and growing individual donor support, in addition to maintaining and pursuing local government contracts .
San Mateo County presents unique economic challenges: it has some of the highest cost-of-living and housing costs in the nation, with a concentration of high-income earners that drives up prices for everyone .
For food service workers, seniors on fixed incomes, and working families with modest wages, these conditions make it increasingly difficult to cover monthly basic costs such as rent, utilities, and groceries . The requested increase will help us keep pace with this rising need, ensure continued service to Colma residents, and prevent essential programs from being reduced at a time when demand is highest.
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
Our programs ensure that Colma residents-across all ages and income levels-have equitable access to essential resources that prevent crises, improve quality of life, and foster community resilience. By meeting basic needs, supporting children's education, and addressing senior isolation, we reduce pressure on emergency services, support workforce participation, and enhance community well-being.
Residents of Colma Veterans Village, San Pedro Commons, La Terraza, Trestle Glen and other vulnerable community members benefit from consistent, local access to food, housing stability support, mental health services and social connection. In a county where the cost of living and housing are among the highest in the nation, these programs are lifelines for seniors on fixed incomes, food service and retail workers, and low-wage earners who struggle to keep up with basic monthly expenses. By funding these services, the Town directly mitigates the effects of regional economic inequities and ensures that Colma remains a community where residents can age in place and families can thrive.
Rough Proportionality Justification:
DCP's total agency budget for FY 2025-26 is $2,879,940. The $20,000 request represents less than
0.7% of our total operating budget, yet is proportional to the benefit provided to Colma residents. In FY 2024-25, we served around 170 individuals in approximately 110 households in Colma, representing nearly 10% of the Town's total population of 1,729 (as listed on Town of Colma website). These residents represent some of the Town's most vulnerable households, including veterans, seniors, and low-income families. The requested amount will directly fund services proportionate to this level of need and impact, ensuring that Colma's investment is matched by measurable outcomes for its residents.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization's services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
A. In FY 2024-25, DCP served around 170 individuals in approximately 110 households in Colma, representing nearly 10% of the Town's total population of 1,729. This includes regular service to residents of Colma Veterans Village and San Pedro Commons who receive food assistance, case management, mental health services and wellness visits. Many more residents benefitted directly and indirectly through outreach , workshops , and community events such as Family Resource Day and our holiday toy program.
B. Services are accessible at:
Our Second Home: 725 Price Street, Daly City, CA 94014
Daly City Community Service Center, 350 90th Street, Daly City Senior housing and residential sites including:
Colma Veterans Village: 1680 Mission Road, Colma, CA 94014 , San Pedro Commons: 101 A Street, Colma, CA 94014
C. Outreach efforts include monthly e-newsletters, regular social media posts, bilingual staff engagement at Town events, targeted outreach to senior and veteran housing communities, partnerships with local schools and housing sites, and expanded digital communications to ensure residents know about available services.
Approval of this funding request will allow for further focused attention on Colma residents and Town of Colma events.
Daly City Partnership's Collaborative Luncheon is being held at the Colma Community Center on September 24th, 2025. The event will celebrate Daly City Partnership's 30 years of service and serve as an inspiring gathering of community leaders, partners, and volunteers to honor three decades of impact
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
Daly City Partnership did not receive funding from the Town of Colma in FY 2024-25. Despite the absence of municipal support, we continued to serve around 170 individuals in approximately 110 households-nearly 10% of the Town's total population of 1, 729-through our core programs:
Food & Basic Support Services : Weekly food pantry distributions , emergency grocery gift cards, rent and utility assistance, and clothing vouchers to stabilize households in crisis, including residents of Colma Veterans Village and San Pedro Commons .
Healthy Aging Response Team (HART}: Senior wellness checks, case management, and resource navigation to address isolation and support independent living for older adults on fixed incomes.
After School Academic Program (ASAP): Academic enrichment, homework help, and safe after-school programming for Colma youth.
These services were sustained through other local government contracts , foundation grants, corporate partnerships , and individual donor contributions . Town of Colma funding in FY 2025-26 would directly reinforce these proven services, allowing us to maintain and expand support to a substantial share of the Town's residents .
By funding Daly City Partnership, the Town of Colma directly advances its public purpose goals-providing the necessities of life, integrated care services, and educational engagement-while ensuring that veterans, seniors, and working families have the resources to remain secure and connected in one of the most economically challenging regions in the country. This $20,000 request is proportionate to the impact we deliver-serving nearly 10% of Colma's population each year-and will sustain proven, locally accessible programs that strengthen the community 's health, stability, and resilience .

The mission of Daly City Public Library Associates (DCPLA) is to raise private funds to supplement public funding of the Daly City libraries. We accomplish this by developing community, civic, and business support for fundraising, advocacy, and innovative programs that benefit our diverse community.

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:
4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:
Awarded funds will support educating and engaging children through purchasing Launchpads for the Daly City Public Libraries. Purchasing Launchpads will enable us to deliver engaging educational opportunities for children. These preloaded tablets offer age-appropriate apps and games that promote literacy, STEM skills, creativity, and problem-solving. Launchpads do not need an internet connection, which helps ensure that all children have access to quality digital learning. Launchpads help bridge the digital divide and support school readiness. Their durable, easy-to-use design makes them perfect for young learners to explore independently or with family, fostering curiosity and excitement for learning in our community's children.
Daly City Public Libraries currently have 43 Launchpads split between the four library branches. These Launchpads have content geared toward children ages 0-5 and were checked out by library patrons 254 times in our last fiscal year. Launchpad titles at the library include "Say it in Spanish!", "ABC, I read!", "Build Me Up!: Build and Create", and "Animal Talk!". Each title has genre-specific games for children to learn through play.
A parent shared with library staff that the Launchpad they borrowed was a lifesaver during a long road trip with their child, who was entertained the entire trip learning letter and word recognition through interactive games! Other parents have shared their relief that Launchpads are not connected to the internet, and they can be confident that all content on the tablet is age-appropriate.
This year, DCPLA requests $6,200.00 to expand the Launchpad collection for 0-5-year-olds and start a new collection for ages 6-12 and teens. Most Launchpads in these categories cost between $159.99 and $179.99. We will purchase 14 Launchpads to add to the 0-5 collection ($2,400.00) and 22 Launchpads to start the collection for older children ($3,800.00).
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
Last year, DCPLA requested funding to purchase laptops for the Laptop Kiosk Station at the John Daly Public Library. This year, the requested amount reflects our efforts to increase the availability of Launchpads for children to support early literacy and STEM skills.
The benefits to the Town of Colma from funding Daly City Public Library Associates are multifaceted and deeply impactful. The Daly City Public Libraries serve the residents of San Mateo County, particularly the 110,000+ residents in northern San Mateo County. As 35% of San Mateo residents - and 40% of Colma residents - were born outside of the United States, the Library is dedicated to providing our communities with tools for literacy. The Library provides resources for English literacy and also partners with Project Read of North San Mateo County to provide literacy tutoring at Daly City Libraries.
Additionally, the Daly City Public Library offers a wide range of free classes to the public.
Recent class topics include living trusts, avoiding frauds and scams, composting, and writing a memoir. By offering these educational opportunities, the Library helps to bridge the gap between diverse community members and supports their journey towards economic stability and social integration. The Library is a free resource accessible to all residents, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to benefit from these vital programs. Funding our organization will enhance our ability to continue providing these essential services, ultimately leading to a more educated, engaged, and prosperous community.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization's The entire population of Colma is served by the Daly City Public Libraries, in their Serramonte (40 Wembly Dr.), John Daly (134 Hillside Blvd.), Westlake (275 Southgate Ave.), and Bayshore (460 Martin St.) locations.
Invitations to the Daly City Public Library Associates' programs, Author Talks, and events are advertised to Colma residents through social media, print advertising, and word of mouth. Many Colma businesses are generous supporters of Daly City Public Library Associates events, such as our annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon and Art & Lit Fest. The communities in Daly City and Colma are closely intertwined, with Colma residents regularly using Daly City libraries and students enrolled in Daly City schools. The Daly City Public Library Associates welcomes and appreciates the input and support from the Town of Colma by recruiting Colma residents, business owners, and government officials to become members and to join our Board of Directors.
Funding from FY 2024-25 was used for the John Daly Public Library Laptop Kiosk Station to purchase six new laptops for library patron use. Since their deployment earlier this year, these laptops have been checked out over 150 times by students, parents, and professionals, offering them the flexibility to work from any location within the library rather than being limited to fixed workstations.
The six laptops cost $5,025.33. The remaining $674.67 supported the cost of renewing software and hardware licensing agreements for our Kiosk Station (the total software/hardware renewal cost was $2,674.00). The Town of Colma's investment in the Kiosk Station has expanded access to digital resources, allowing patrons to pursue educational, professional, and personal goals in a welcoming library environment.
9. List contributions requested and received from other cities in FY 2024-25 and requested or expected in FY 2025-26:
10. Did the organization participate in or intervene in any political campaign (including the publication or distribution of statements) on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office within the past 36 months (please select one)?

Project Title: Laptops for John Daly Public Library Kiosk Station Grant amount: $5,700
Description of Outputs and Outcomes
From John Daly Library Branch Manager Zack Whitley:
We had a group of students (maybe late middle or early high school?) who needed several computers to work on a project . They were using our public PCs and being a bit disruptive. The laptop kiosk was the perfect solution to this issue as they were each able to check out a laptop and sit at a table, facing each other, to chat. As far as I know, they finished the project. Everyone seemed pleased with the outcome.
At our fixit clinic, we used several laptops to check in participants and keep track of attendance.
Our Chromebooks were a little slow and not quite up to the task of running this event, but the laptops from the kiosk were! They were fully charged, speedy and portable. A perfect solution to our problem.
We deployed the laptops a few months ago, and they have been checked out 148 times since then. We purchased from our government tech supplier and paid $5025.33. We also renewed the software license and hardware agreements for the kiosk for $2,674 so the $674.67 remaining was put towards that.
DCPLA, City Council of Daly City, and the patrons of our Daly City Public Libraries are extremely grateful for the ongoing support from the Town of Colma and look forward to our continuing partnership in the future.

3a. Describe how the funding will support the selected category:
4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:
The Daly City Youth Health Center (DCYHC) was founded in 1990 in response to the health disparities among low-income youth of color in San Mateo County. DCYHC is a unique school-linked program of the Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD) and clinical satellite facility of the San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) . Since 1990, DCYHC services have included primary health care, behavioral health counseling, substance use prevention, and health education .
Our programs include:
Primary Care: Our physician-led Primary Care Clinic provides diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, referrals to specialists , physicals , immunizations , STI testing and treatment , and more. Primary healthcare services are provided to approximately 1,200 unduplicated youth and young adults each year.
Behavioral Health: Our mental health services range from outreach and psychoeducation , weekly individual therapy for mild needs, to more intensive, wrap-like services, including weekly individual, family , collateral , and case management services for higher needs clients. We serve clients in our clinic, at school, in their home or community .
Of the last 100 client cases closed, 75% showed clinically significant or reliable change in their wellbeing . This is well above the national average for wellbeing improvement in behavioral health services which is around 40%.
Educational Programs : Project PLAY (Peer Leadership Alternatives for Youth) works with students to increase their knowledge about sexual health and build socio-emotional skills. Through a 2 week sex education curricula that conforms to 92% of the California Healthy Youth Act law, PLAY annually serves about 1,000 unduplicated teens and young adults. PLAY also has after-school groups called Squads for students who want to become peer leaders. In 24-25 PLAY participants demonstrated an average of a 79% increase in social-emotional skills and knowledge gained .
Substance Use Prevention : Now known as INSPIRE (Innovative Strategies for Prevention and Intervention through Restorative Education), this program focuses on social justice youth development, youth leadership, Brief Intervention and harm reduction . We reached over 1,500 people through community education . Brief Intervention (Bl) , formerly known as INSPIRE, implements Brief Interventions , as a social justice approach to address the inequitable suspensions of BIPOC students due to substance use. In 24-25, 50 youth avoided suspension by completing Bl.
Funding will support our general operations and programs, which support youth and families in San Mateo County. This year (25-26), our goals include:
1) Provide primary healthcare services to a minimum of 1,500 unduplicated youth and young adults.
2) Behavioral health clients will achieve an average of at least a 65% reliable or clinically significant improvement in their wellbeing. Provide behavioral health screening and counseling to a minimum of 300 unduplicated youth and young adults. 4) Project PLAY will provide health education to a minimum of 1,000 unduplicated teens and young adults and train a minimum of 65 peer health educators. At least 70% of the youth participating in the PLAY health education programs will demonstrate a significant increase in knowledge.
4) INSPIRE will reach 1,200 students through their community education presentations and 40 students will avoid suspension due to substance use by completing the INSPIRE program.
5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:
6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:
While we are not requesting an increase in funding this year, the demand for our services continues to be high. At the same time, we're navigating major shifts in the funding landscape due to CAL-AIM changes, cuts to Medicare, and broader political uncertainty.
These factors have put added strain on our ability to deliver services. We've made it a priority to remain a stable and consistent resource for our community, but ongoing support remains essential as we work through these changes and strive to keep care accessible for those who need it most.
We are a centrally located health center that supports surrounding cities, including Colma.
We support Colma youth and families by providing free mental health services, medical care, substance use prevention and health education. We strive to make our services accessible to all by not only outreaching to Colma citizens, but also by going directly to our clients when needed. Including their homes and other community locations.
DCYHC serves as a one stop shop where community members can address needs surrounding physical and mental wellbeing and receive case management support around needs such as housing and food insecurity, obtaining health insurance and linkage to other community resources. If families cannot come to our on-site location, we bring services directly to them. DCYHC serves as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), bridging together medical, behavioral health and school based care. The relationship with the Behavioral Health team and San Mateo County Medical Center (SMMC) under one roof as one health center, working in partnership with the Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD) enables us to reach more youth and their families to address their needs in a comprehensive and integrated way.
7. Describe the following:
A. Number of Colma residents or businesses (or both) served by the organization in the years prior to the grant application;
B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.
8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2024-25 contribution was used:
organization's services or programs; and
A. We have provided 12 Colma residents with health services in 2024-2025.
B. Daly City Youth Health Center is located at 350 90th Street, Floor #3 in Daly City. We serve clients at our location, within local schools, and in our client's homes or community.
C. Outreach: We have sustained our robust outreach efforts and recently added an operations assistant to our team to help streamline outreach activities and ensure a dedicated presence at community events. In the face of ongoing political and funding shifts that impact our community, we remain committed to being a stable and reliable resource.
Our team continues to work diligently to strengthen community trust and engagement during these uncertain times.
During the 24-25 year, we developed a partnership with El Concilio San Mateo. El Concilio is a wonderful resource specifically aimed at supporting the Latinx and immigrant communities.
We continue to see high demand for our behavioral health services. This year, the implementation of CAL-AIM brought major changes, not only to reimbursement rates, but also to our overall billing processes. These shifts introduced significant adjustments in procedure that affected the entire department. Fortunately, we welcomed a new mental health provider to our team, and our clinical manager is now certified to supervise mental health interns. These additions have helped redistribute responsibilities and ease some of the pressure on staff.
The generous donation of $6,000 from the Town of Colma enabled our mental health team to grow and provide additional individual and family therapy sessions and support groups.

Final Colma Report for 24-25
[email protected]
POC: Mackinnon Ross
(a) By June 28, 2024, or within 90 days after completion of the program or project, whichever is earlier, Grantee will present a final report to the Town that:
(i) Describes the results of the program or project funded by the grant; From July 2024-May 2025, we provided 2,767 unduplicated low-income youth with physician-led primary healthcare services.
From 7/1/24-6/1/25, we have served 291 unduplicated youth with behavioral health screenings and counseling services. Among our last 100 closed behavioral health cases, 78.5% achieved reliable or clinically significant improvement in well-being, compared to a national benchmark of below 40%. One mother of a Terra Nova High School Sophomore shared, "our experience with the Daly City Youth Health Center has been a very positive one. My daughter has been in therapy for the last five months and I have seen a big change in her outlook for the future! She is more positive and she's learning how to navigate her fears much better. She has opened up tremendously and our relationship has gotten much better. We've been in therapy before, and my daughter didn't really connect with her therapist because her therapist was more interested in telling her what she thought, as opposed to actually listening to my daughter. We are very pleased with the outcome ."
From 8/1/24-6/1/25, 1,240 unduplicated youth have received sexual health education and social emotional skill development, exceeding our goal of 1,000 students by the end of the grant period. 79% of youth participating in the PLAY health education program demonstrated a significant increase in social emotional knowledge and skills. We trained 65 peer health educators to facilitate sensitive topic workshops to their peers and act as advocates and a bridge to DCYHC services . One of our participants described their experience in our program :
"We engaged in fun, interactive activities that helped us learn about important topics such as healthy relationships, body image, the reproductive system, and more. These activities are not only enjoyable but also make me eager to learn something new every time.
