2. Organizational Capacity
a. Briefly describe how your organization’s prior activities have resulted in meaningful impact:

The City of Fresno Parks, After School, Recreation and Community Services (PARCS) Department has an established Senior Recreation Program that provides recreation reaching over 500 seniors per year. The recreational opportunities create a meaningful impact on the health and wellbeing of seniors by providing them with a safe space to connect with their peers, pursue lifelong education, participate in fitness and enhance their quality of life through recreation.
b. Describe the organization’s experience with administering federally funded programs of this nature.

The PARCS Department has participated in CDBG funded service delivery for more than a decade. The team responsible for internal oversight of the funding and senior enrichment program delivery has over 35 years of combined experience relevant to program and grant administration.

3. Proposed Scope of Work
a. Briefly describe the needs this proposal addresses, and how existing resources are insufficient to meet this need:

This proposal addresses the need to engage seniors (ages 60+) in recreational opportunities, lifelong learning, skill development and community building to improve quality of life.

The Senior Recreation Program is funded in part by CDBG. Local funding from the General Fund and Measure P Sales Tax are also appropriated toward the costs of Senior Recreation Programming. CDBG funding is essential to continuing to expand and enhance program offerings for seniors. In Fiscal Year 2024 (program year 2023) the PARCS Department is proposing to add permament part time positions and adjust operating hours to allow programming to begin earlier in the day.
b. Briefly describe the target population and how the project will meet the specific needs of the target population and how the project will be marketed to the target population.

The target population are seniors ages 60+.

The CDBG project funds the Senior Recreation Program and enrichment activities at community centers for part of the day. Around lunch time, the Senior Hot Meals Program begins. The Senior Hot Meals program is funded, in part, by the Fresno Madera Agency on Aging (FMAAA) and is available at no-cost to seniors age 60+.

The PARCS Department has identified a need to lower the age threshold for all senior programming from 62 years old to 60 years old to be consistent with the FMAAA funded hot meals program age requirements. Lowering the age threshold (if approved under CDBG) will enable greater participation in the Senior Recreation Program funded by CDBG.
c. Describe consultation efforts made with the target population in the development of the proposed activity.

PY23-24 Consolidated NOFA Part B
Application – Public and Community Services

Page 12 of 24 ends

The PARCS Department surveys and regularly engages with seniors who are active in existing programming. According to surveys, seniors report an interest in recreational activities tailored specifically to their age group, interests and abilities.

There is also a desire to arrive at programming earlier in the day. Based on the growing demand for senior programming, the PARCS Department restructured in 2021 to include a dedicated Program Manager role to lead senior programming.

The Program Manager uses senior survey feedback and industry best practices to shape recreation and enrichment programming around the evolving needs of the target population.
d. Describe the marketing plan for the proposed activity and how the organization will ensure it reaches the target population.

The PARCS Department has a Community Outreach Specialist and a Program Manager who work together to tailor marketing and outreach to serve senior populations. Services will be marketed to the target population through placing information on the City's website, social media accounts and distribution/posting of printed materials. All information will be provided in multiple languages in an accessible format. Printed materials (posters, banners, brochures and/or flyers) will be placed at community centers throughout the City. A senior survey will also be conducted to get feedback from existing participants to inform program operations and marketing.

To expand community outreach, referral information will be provided to two community service centers including United Way's Community Service Center (211) and the City of Fresno's Customer Service Center (311). Information will also be provided to community partner and other organizations serving the target population.

This marketing plan is presumed to reach the target population by using multiple communication methods across a variety of locations where low-income seniors congregate and/or seek information or resources.
e. The City’s Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice recommends that the City prioritize investments in areas identified as Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RECAPs – see NOFA Handbook). Will this program be:

The City of Fresno Parks, After School, Recreation and Community Services (PARCS) Department has provided after school, recreation and neighborhood park programming for youth for decades. This programming provides a safe place for youth to build relationships with their peers, seek assistance with homework, develop new skills, pursue sports, arts and other recreational activities. b. Describe the organization’s experience with administering federally funded programs of this nature.

The PARCS Department has participated in CDBG funded service delivery for more than a decade. The team responsible for internal oversight of the funding and senior enrichment program delivery has over 35 years of combined experience relevant to program and grant administration.

3. Proposed Scope of Work
a. Briefly describe the needs this proposal addresses, and how existing resources are insufficient to meet this need:

This proposal addresses the need for high quality, no-cost youth programming delivered at neighborhood locations that are safe and accessible to youth. Nocost after school programs are often oversubscribed and have longwaitlists.

Providing youth recreation services at community centers helps address unmet demand for after school programming. CDBG funding pays for part of the cost to deliver programming. Funds are leveraged with local funding to maximize reach. b. Briefly describe the target population and how the project will meet the specific needs of the target population and how the project will be marketed to the target population.

The target population to be served are youth 17 and under from low-income households as determined by the nature and location of the activity. Youth need opportunities to develop social and emotional skills, reinforce academic skills, build resilience and try new sports and activities that enrich their quality of life.

PARCS youth recreational programming provides the target population with activities designed to support development and resilience for youth of all ages.

For marketing plans, see section 3-d.
c. Describe consultation efforts made with the target population in the development of the proposed activity.

Youth recreation programming is responsive to the interests of the children who attend. Activities and camps are tailored based on the age group attending each location.

d. Describe the marketing plan for the proposed activity and how the organization will ensure it reaches the target population.

Youth recreation programming such as after school programming, camps, or workshops will be marketed with flyers and posters placed at neighborhood center sites, shared on the City of Fresno website and social media accounts.

Printed and digital materials will be provided in multiple languages to maximize accessibility for target audiences. This marketing plan is presumed to reach the target population by using multiple communication methods across a variety oflocations where the target population and their guardians congregate and/or seek information about recreation.
